Topic: SELF-FULFILLING

QUESTION: In your opinion, what can you say about their perspective on self-fulfilling prophecy based on their experiences. Do you think it is a good example of self-fulfilling? (ANSWER EACH NUMBER)

1. "I know most people have experienced this in their first year of college called the Freshman 15. Freshman 15 is when students gain 15 pounds during their first year. This affected me because I use to eat Chick-fil-A and Steak & Shake at least 4 times a week. I hated that for me because it was unhealthy for my body. I rarely ate fruit and vegetables like I was supposed to. I broke out half of the time, but I started eating better at the end of the year. I learned to cook more and looked up ways to maintain a balanced diet."

2. "I remember when I was nervous about giving a presentation in my public speaking class. I went over the material for hours the night before and tried to remember everything I wanted to say. The problem was, I kept telling myself that I would mess up. As a result, I became more anxious and actually did make some mistakes. Overall, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but the self-doubt didn't help the situation."
