It is true. As I was doing it, I wasn't thinking like that. but now I see it.

Insight Template The following table presents relevant information collected from your responses. The goal of this table is to help you identify your patterns and how they are present in your different stories.

Identification
no conflicts.
Kind of both. With the lion, I don't like no one crossing my path, invading my space. Just crossing me in any way without my permission because I have been violated before. So now, today, you can't cross me and expect me not to defend myself. And if you don't have a reason, you are going to have a problem. With the horse, I am very fast to be there. I used to feel like I could go anywhere, even in dangerous places. And people that would try to stop me, they couldn't catch me. I am going to do what the hell I want do, but you can't do that to me.

I used to work with these guys, and they told me you look like someone that don't take any shit. People sometimes think they can say or do something to me, but both times it came to conflict and I came out ahead. Alternatively, when there is a game playing, I cheer for the other team, angering everyone who supports the local team. When challenged, I explained that I was just having fun. It aint no fun when everyone is cheering for one team. I backed off and explained why I was doing what I was doing.

This was the scene of my brother. He got shot and was laying up against the fence. This was the second time that happened to him. My cousin was with him. This time he almost got killed. I wanted to go kill the guy that shot him. I rushed my brother to the hospital. I was working in Detroit and I came home for the weekend. The first place I stopped was my grandmothers. The moment I got there, they brought in my brother, telling me that he had just got shot. I immediately got in the car to drive to the hospital. Drove as fast as possible, not stopping for lights or anything. We got him checked in to the hospital and I was pacing around. While he was in the emergency room, my uncle and I were thinking about how to find the guy that did it. My cousin saw the guy, he knew the guy. So while my brother was recovering, my uncle and I took off to find the guy. My plan was to immediately take him out. My grandmother and family said not to. I was so furious I didn’t care about going to jail. It took everything I had to not go. I found out who he was. We went to school together. I promised that I was going to kill this dude. While I was planning it out, something happened to him. He got killed in an automotive accident. I was kind of upset that I couldn't do it, but I was relieved at the same time. At the moment, I really wanted to kill somebody. I never wanted to before. I was ready to commit murder. The other time my brother got shot, the same type of feelings took place. But that time, the shooter went to jail. That time too, I was talked out of killing the guy. My brother survived, but I am mad at him for putting himself in the situation of danger, and putting my in the position where I wanted to kill somebody. My brother got in to these situations because he was involved with some other men's girl. When I found out the truth, I was upset at my brother. Because of his actions, because of him having a big mouth, doing something would someone else's girl, he set me up. Maybe he was trying to act like me, because I do whatever I want. He tried to be like me, even though he doesn't look like me and can't fight like me. Even though I know the truth, I still would have killed them. Thank God, I didn't have to.
They used the gym to change, to help them deal with challenge

When I was into training, there were other guys that wanted to be like me, wanted to change their bodies to become like me. I worked with them both.

Pattern
I always set the pace. but sometimes I let others go ahead and do something first, then I can see if it’s okay. let them taste the water and drink.
A lot of people don't cross me because they are aware of me. They know not to mess me. One time though, I used to go to school, and this one guy- I used to pass his house to go home. He told me I better not walk past there again. I got scared. He had a few brothers. The first time he opened his front door while we were on the sidewalk. The next time he was in his yard. The next time he was on the side walk, and we ran away. And I was scared to ever go by his house. Much later on, I fought him and won. I was scared as hell, but somehow I won.
My focus was on revenge. If you were going to do something like that they should do it to me, not my brother. Rage.
I deal with people, like one time there was a trainer like me, and we both train on a high level. He is half my age, and the whole time he is like, man, you so strong, and I am like, you are so strong.
Pertinence
I don’t think it is a conflict. I always get hurt, but I am going to keep trying until I can get where I want. just a little more cautious.
I identify with the characteristics. A lot of people look at me like a leader, but they don’t know what I am like. I am learning how to build solid relationships over the course of the years because of addiction and being let down by my wife. I am fearful of being let down. I can’t let anybody cross me. I can let people in but it takes me longer than most people. Like I tried to get some phone numbers from some gentlemen here at the center, but I am not sure if trust in the process of relationship building. At the same time, I am going to talk to whoever I want, but I am not going to let anyone feel that they are my friend.

I am a lover of the gym. It wasn't about competition for me, but it was a place that I found friends.

Responsibility
in the army, I was selected to be a leader because of how I worked. they thought I should be put in to a leader position. I was just trying to be the best I could be. so they made me a leader, because I wouldn’t follow anybody. I started selling drugs because a friend told me I could make money doing that. I realized I made a mistake because I followed him. not following myself, because I didn’t know how to me a leader. I didn’t have a father so I didn’t know how to be a leader. I followed and ended up in shoot outs and almost ended in jail. but I learned to turn away from it, I realized that I was on the wrong side of the street. so I realized I needed to not follow anyone. I had confrontation with gang members, because they tried to bully me into being part of the gang. so I ended up fighting them.
I was scared a lot when I was young. I did everything out of fear. I was scared a lot when growing up. Somehow I learned the ability to fend people off by fighting. I did what my dad told me and that was fight back even though I was scared. One time, I was threatened by some kids and ran home scared and forgot my siblings. My father, told me I should never do that, never forget my brother and sister, or else he would whoop me. I confronted them and ever since then I haven't been scared.
My brother was trying to act like me and he got into trouble. He got arrogant. I never meant to be role model. Even my uncles looked up to me. I felt like I had to be there. I could have had a hand.
I used the gym to get stronger, just in case I need to deal with bigger dudes. No matter how big the guys is, I can knock a guy out in one blow. I don't want to use my strength to hurt, but to show that I am strong. I am like them because I changed through working out. Tom can run as fast as anyone. Tim, no one going to mess with. He feels like no one will mess with him. All three of us, we changed ourselves through changing our body.

Reflecting on the table above and on your experience completing Conflict Analysis, please discuss the insights that have developed through this process.

for the most part, this has echoed what others have said. but what’s different is that here its put all together. from what I have gathered, I have an outlook of exactly of what I am dealing with. the conflicts I have been dealing with until today. war is inevitable, but I want peace. here, I kind of see that, which is kind of different, everybody says that I am an alpha dog, that I am a leader, that will do whatever I want. but here, it was brought to a different level, here I talk about what’s inner, people tell me what they perceive about me, but here it went deeper than that. here it showed what was behind my actions, what is behind how I act. I don’t want drama, I want quiet. pretty much, I welcome the feedback. no one has hit it on all the points before. I like it all.

Growth: Suggested Changes Template The following table presents information selected from your responses, identifying your willingness for change and growth.

Recent Memory
Short Story
Personal Change
I was the leader in the incident and I was the leader afterwards. I didn’t do things that I didn’t want to do. most of the time people wanted to do what I wanted to do.
De-escalate. Recognize that not everyone coming at me is trying to cross me.
I only had one way out of the violence, the addiction, the family demands. and that was to leave. At the time, I was really going to the other side, losing my morals, but it was getting to the point, where it was like what the hell am I doing.
No.
Willingness for Change
I wouldn’t do anything different. but it makes me wonder why people look up to me, but I am not going to let anybody tell me what to do, but I find truth through the holy scriptures. I choose my ways because of how I feel not because of anybody else.
I don’t want to fight. I have quite boxing and wrestling. I want to use other means to de-escalate. I want to make things less intense. I want to defuse it rather than bring it on. Be reasonable more.
I am more focused on God now, and more convinced about my morals. I would confront my brother and let him know that he was in the wrong. The shooter should pay for his actions, but it’s not up to me to make him pay. I am a little more solid when it comes to if you are wrong you are wrong.
I want to start getting involved in other hobbies and I think that will help me build relationships. I never wanted to get involved in things to find relationships, but now, I feel like meeting people would be good. Meeting people would be a challenging thing in of itself that I would like to do.

Reflecting on the table above and on your experience completing Conflict Analysis, please identify the changes you are willing to make.

I don’t tell people how I feel about stuff, but with this exercise, I expressed how I felt without saying how I feel. with the last story, for example, I want peace, but I wasn’t trying to address that, I wasn’t trying to say anything, and I don’t particularly relate to either character, but somehow it came out, reflecting exactly who I am and what I want. that’s something I will carry on. it gives me an idea of what I am really trying to get it. god is going to give me that peace, but on my own accord, I need to get there too. I want everting to be acceptable by others, but I don’t want chaos. I will step up to make that happen.

What Happened
on the playground me and friends are playing on the merry go round. to make things more fun or intense we grabbed a titer totter and put it on the merry go round. we wound set on the titer totter while some one pushed the merry go round. doing that I fell of then go hit with titer totter and was knocked out cold for the rest of the day. my uncle thought I was dead. he said I laid there motionless and he ran for help.
This was the scene of my brother. He got shot and was laying up against the fence. This was the second time that happened to him. My cousin was with him. This time he almost got killed. I wanted to go kill the guy that shot him. I rushed my brother to the hospital. I was working in Detroit and I came home for the weekend. The first place I stopped was my grandmothers. The moment I got there, they brought in my brother, telling me that he had just got shot. I immediately got in the car to drive to the hospital. Drove as fast as possible, not stopping for lights or anything. We got him checked in to the hospital and I was pacing around. While he was in the emergency room, my uncle and I were thinking about how to find the guy that did it. My cousin saw the guy, he knew the guy. So while my brother was recovering, my uncle and I took off to find the guy. My plan was to immediately take him out. My grandmother and family said not to. I was so furious I didn’t care about going to jail. It took everything I had to not go. I found out who he was. We went to school together. I promised that I was going to kill this dude. While I was planning it out, something happened to him. He got killed in an automotive accident. I was kind of upset that I couldn't do it, but I was relieved at the same time. At the moment, I really wanted to kill somebody. I never wanted to before. I was ready to commit murder. The other time my brother got shot, the same type of feelings took place. But that time, the shooter went to jail. That time too, I was talked out of killing the guy. My brother survived, but I am mad at him for putting himself in the situation of danger, and putting my in the position where I wanted to kill somebody. My brother got in to these situations because he was involved with some other men’s' girl. When I found out the truth, I was upset at my brother. Because of his actions, because of him having a big mouth, doing something would someone else's girl, he set me up. Maybe he was trying to act like me, because I do whatever I want. He tried to be like me, even though he doesn't look like me and can't fight like me. Even though I know the truth, I still would have killed them. Thank God, I didn't have to.

How did you feel

How did the other person feel they were my family, I felt good about them. we are all kids that is involved they wound do what I did so followed what I did. we have lots of fun. we loved one another.

Before the experience, I felt deep love for my brother. I was my brother's keeper. The other guys, I wanted to hurt them. I didn't care. My cousins and uncle were not trying to talk me down, they were waiting for me to pull the trigger. , My brother felt like he could do anything he wanted to, because I am his brother. Word passed about who I am. He rode my coat tails. So did all my other family members. They looked at me as the baldest one, the best fighter. My father always would evaluate my worth by how I could fight. Either I would win a fight or I would be beat up by my dad.

Conflicts
no conflicts.
My focus was on revenge. If you were going to do something like that they should do it to me, not my brother. Rage.
What happened before/ after
I always be the first to get to anything on the playground cause I was the fastest. after we get to the merry go round, I tell everyone to push it. then I tell them all like we got to do something more. I had an idea that we could put the teeter totter on there. so they said okay. and they all did it because I wanted to do it. since I am the one that initiated it, I am the first one on it. the first round, I didn’t fall off. the first time it worked, so I told them to push harder and harder, but then I fell off. I don’t look at myself as a leader, but they looked at me as a leader.

after that day, I didn’t change too much, but I was a little hesitant to do an off the wall thing like I wouldn’t grab the teeter totter again. like I had a sled that had a roof on it. I used to try and sled off of it, but after the teeter totter incident I didn’t want to do that as much. people still followed whatever I did, but I was more cautious than I was before

I just got out of military and had a job in the city and was working for two weeks straight. And just came back. , I felt like I should have been the one to kill that guy. He got off easy.

Identification
I was the leader in the incident and I was the leader afterwards. I didn’t do things that I didn’t want to do. most of the time people wanted to do what I wanted to do.
I began to think that my job is to fight everyone's battles. When I go back home, it’s the same. I don’t want to fight, but I will step up when people are dealt with wrong.
Pertinence
I don’t think it is a conflict. I always get hurt, but I am going to keep trying until I can get where I want. just a little more cautious.
I only had one way out of the violence, the addiction, the family demands. and that was to leave. At the time, I was really going to the other side, losing my morals, but it was getting to the point, where it was like what the hell am I doing.
Relationship
it only got more intense in terms of people looking up to me. it’s not that I don’t want it, but I don’t expect it. like one of the guys here said, you look like a drill sergeant and act like one. it isn’t fake.
No. My brother is mad at me for leaving, because he is angry that I left him by himself. They are all mad at me. My brother even wanted to fight me.
Pattern
I always set the pace. but sometimes I let others go ahead and do something first, then I can see if it’s okay. let them taste the water and drink.
A lot of them. We were at school one day, and this one dude, was bothering my brother. But my brother only stood up to him when I showed up. My uncle was playing tetherball and others started giving him shit, but then I came and beat them both up.
Responsibility
It is true. As I was doing it, I wasn't thinking like that. but now I see it.
My brother was trying to act like me and he got into trouble. He got arrogant. I never meant to be role model. Even my uncles looked up to me. I felt like I had to be there. I could have had a hand.
Willingness for Changes
I wouldn’t do anything different. but it makes me wonder why people look up to me, but I am not going to let anybody tell me what to do, but I find truth through the holy scriptures. I choose my ways because of how I feel not because of anybody else.
I am more focused on God now, and more convinced about my morals. I would confront my brother and let him know that he was in the wrong. The shooter should pay for his actions, but it’s not up to me to make him pay. I am a little more solid when it comes to if you are wrong you are wrong.

Lion,

2-3, Male, Alpha male, leader of his pack, very strong, laid back, focused Horse, 2-3, Male, Alpha male, very fast, high energy, outgoing, focused Tim- skinny 13 when they left, now its 12 years later male was teased a lot, was shy, wanted to play but was weak and skinny, last picked, good guy, liked to make jokes, making funny jokes to fit in, not teasing people Tom- fat 13, male never wanted to play, would sit on the side, instigator, always butting in, always teasing people, but not in the nice way, he was lazy, computer gamer

Conversation
One day the lion wakes up, first thing he does is scope out his territory so he goes out with his followers to survey the territory to make sure all is in place and no crazy things are going on. While they are doing that, a big old horse comes running through the middle of his territory with no fear, acting like he can do anything he wants, different from all the other animals who are afraid. But this horse, is the leader of his pack and just goes through confident. One time that he runs through the lion tries to stop him and asks him: 1. Hey, you running across my territory, you know that is not permitted or allowed." 2. You know, I hear that but I am trying to get on the other side of this land which is not your territory, and this is the shortest way to get there. 1. I hear that, but I don't allow no one to trespass without my permission and I am thing of this territory, so you are going to have go the other way. 2. Do I really need to ask you just to go over there, I am not bothering you, or your subjects. I am just trying to get on the other side. So I don’t think I need to ask you. 1. -the lion walks closer to get eye to eye and stares the horse down. What if I have to force you to go the long way, because you refuse to ask? 2. -the horse steps back. That’s a good question, let me think about that. the horse walks away and talks with his peers for a day. his peers look up to him and make him feel that they would think he is weak if he gives in the lion.so he tries running across but the lion catches him. 1. so you are back without permission. 2. I know you are the strongest, but I am the fastest. I don’t think you can catch me. the lion can’t catch him. but he goes to his tribe and they decide to set up a trap. when the horse comes back, he is caught in trap and surrounded by six lions. 2. I am just trying to get across. 1. I need to know why and you need to get permission. 2. the reason I do what I do is I have a whole crew that looks up to me and one of my female horses is in a bad situation, she is sick and having a kid, and if I don’t go get when I need to get, she might die, but I didn’t want to have tell you that. 1. I should just take you captive, but you have something I want. if you can bring me the soft plant that I want to make a comfortable bed, then I will allow you through. 2. I think I can make that deal.
there are these two boys that grew up in city. they were always picked on in school. from the time started school until they entered into middle school. Tim was this skinny weak kid and tom this fat and lazy kid. Tim moved to another city and tom move to the suburbs. Many years went by they have not seen each other for years. One day they cross each other’s paths. It was this big event they both where in and competed in. It was a body building contest. they both did very well. they both finished 1 and 2 in the competition. they did not recognize each other until the judges said their names. they could not believe it. they both had looked different from the last time they saw each other at the age of 13.They shook each other’s hand and was happy to. compete against one another.
Conflicts
Trespassing,

Lion has to show strength because he is the strongest and his leadership because of he doesn't someone else will challenge him from his tribe. Horse he was the fastest, but he had to be courageous to take care of his herd They were teased a lot, but then they were able to transform themselves, make themselves feel better about themselves. Now people are looking at them, it changed their whole outlook. And somehow they ended up doing it at the same time. They didn’t want to be weak. They were tired of being criticized. But they believed in themselves.

Changes
Communication. The horse, who almost got himself in a battle he couldn't win, he should have approached the lion first to eliminate conflict. That could have prevented danger. Instead of being all macho, he could have been more logical. Especially because that’s what happened anyway.
They believed they could become stronger. They believed they could be accepted. Tom, needed to change his behavior and his body. Tom didn't want to be fat, he didn't want to be an outsider that could only participate by talking trash. Tim, needed to train his body, he was already a guy that liked to play.
Identification
Kind of both. With the lion, I don't like no one crossing my path, invading my space. Just crossing me in any way without my permission because I have been violated before. So now, today, you can't cross me and expect me not to defend myself. And if you don't have a reason, you are going to have a problem. With the horse, I am very fast to be there. I used to feel like I could go anywhere, even in dangerous places. And people that would try to stop me, they couldn't catch me. I am going to do what the hell I want do, but you can't do that to me.

I used to work with these guys, and they told me you look like someone that don't take any shit. People sometimes think they can say or do something to me, but both times it came to conflict and I came out ahead. Alternatively, when there is a game playing, I cheer for the other team, angering everyone who supports the local team. When challenged, I explained that I was just having fun. It isn’t no fun when everyone is cheering for one team. I backed off and explained why I was doing what I was doing.

They used the gym to change, to help them deal with challenge When I was into training, there were other guys that wanted to be like me, wanted to change their bodies to become like me. I worked with them both.

Pertinence
I identify with the characteristics. A lot of people look at me like a leader, but they don’t know what I am like. I am learning how to build solid relationships over the course of the years because of addiction and being let down by my wife. I am fearful of being let down. I can’t let anybody cross me. I can let people in but it takes me longer than most people. Like I tried to get some phone numbers from some gentlemen here at the center, but I am not sure if trust in the process of relationship building. At the same time, I am going to talk to whoever I want, but I am not going to let anyone feel that they are my friend.
I am a lover of the gym. It wasn't about competition for me, but it was a place that I found friends.
Personal Changes
De-escalate. Recognize that not everyone coming at me is trying to cross me.
No.
Pattern
A lot of people don't cross me because they are aware of me. They know not to mess me. One time though, I used to go to school, and this one guy- I used to pass his house to go home. He told me I better not walk past there again. I got scared. He had a few brothers. The first time he opened his front door while we were on the sidewalk. The next time he was in his yard. The next time he was on the side walk, and we ran away. And I was scared to ever go by his house. Much later on, I fought him and won. I was scared as hell, but somehow I won.
I deal with people, like one time there was a trainer like me, and we both train on a high level. He is half my age, and the whole time he is like, man, you so strong, and I am like, you are so strong.
Responsibility
I was scared a lot when I was young. I did everything out of fear. I was scared a lot when growing up. Somehow I learned the ability to fend people off by fighting. I did what my dad told me and that was fight back even though I was scared. One time, I was threatened by some kids and ran home scared and forgot my siblings. My father, told me I should never do that, never forget my brother and sister, or else he would whoop me. I confronted them and ever since then I haven't been scared.
I used the gym to get stronger, just in case I need to deal with bigger dudes. No matter how big the guys is, I can knock a guy out in one blow. I don't want to use my strength to hurt, but to show that I am strong. I am like them because I changed through working out. Tom can run as fast as anyone. Tim, no one going to mess with. He feels like no one will mess with him. All three of us, we changed ourselves through changing our body.
Willingness for Changes
I don’t want to fight. I have quite boxing and wrestling. I want to use other means to de-escalate. I want to make things less intense. I want to defuse it rather than bring it on. Be reasonable more.
I want to start getting involved in other hobbies and I think that will help me build relationships. I never wanted to get involved in things to find relationships, but now, I feel like meeting people would be good. Meeting people would be a challenging thing in of itself that I would like to do.

Reflecting on the program as a whole, please share your thoughts and feelings about this learning experience.

I try to be as blunt as I can, I think this is strong. It hits on all points, the strongest and most accurate representation I have encountered.
