Personal
Experience with Crisis We have all experience some form of crisis
in our life. Whether it is minor or more severe, it is something
that many of us can not control. A crisis can involve a series of
stressful events or one difficult point in life that effects a
persons overall well-being. I had a hard time coming up with what
to write as my crisis for this assignment because when I hear the
word crisis, the first thing that comes to mind is that crisis is a
very severe event such as a war or natural disaster. As I read more
in depth about the concept of crisis, I found that it does not have
to be something as serious as a war. It can simply be a point in
life where you face a difficult situation that makes you feel under

Although some
may not consider this a crisis, it was for me. This was a crisis
for me because I moved from Ghana where
the
culture, language, people and overall atmosphere was different.
The transition to move to a different country and learn a new
culture and language was a stressful and difficult time in my life.
I felt alone and out of place because I did not have friends and
when I did, I could not understand or make a conversation with them
for a long time. The phase in the crisis cycle most relatable to my
experience is phase 2 The intensification stage. In this phase,
individuals feel a loss of internal control causing frustration,
fear and anger. This stage is most relevant to my experience
because I felt frustrated and a loss of internal control. What
caused this crisis was me moving to Canada and not knowing the
culture or English. I would not have experienced the crisis if I
knew English and Canadian culture. Due to my circumstances, there
was nothing I could have done to stop the crisis from happening.
The behaviour of my peers and people around me during the crisis
was both positive and negative, I was bullied and felt that my
class mates were judging me for my accent
