Prior to completing Skip Downing’s “On Course Self Assessment,” I was starting to realize one of my most sabotaging behaviors. I find it incredibly difficult to say a three-word phrase. When it comes to assisting others, I have no problem lending a helping hand, but I cannot tell anyone that “I need help.” In writing this paper I hope to recognize the roots of my problem and adopt a plan to aid me in overcoming this negative behavior. After I took the self-assessment and received a low score in the area of interdependence, I began considering options for overcoming my hesitation so that I may become a successful student. The first strategy is to learn that I cannot do everything by myself. Typically, I never ask for …show more content…
We cannot know everything, and we can all benefit from mutual helping relationships. I may need someone to explain something discussed in Psychology class today and that person may need the favor returned for English. Working together and helping others is important in almost every area of life. I do not need to feel ashamed for reaching out first. As a result of doing the assessment, I realized that I seldom request and often reject offers of assistance. A successful student would employ interdependence by actively seeking out mutually supportive relationships to help achieve their goals and dreams, while doing the same for others in return. I chose this topic because I do not want to be a struggling student! Interdependence is a key factor in being successful in college. In order to obtain a degree a college student must do well in all areas of their studies. To accomplish that, he or she must comprehend the subject matter taught and apply what they learn. If a student does not understand something and refuses to ask for help when it is readily available, they are only hurting themselves. Three little words can make all the difference. By asking someone who is more knowledgeable than they may be in a certain area, they could find the missing pieces that lead to total understanding. This will enable them to perform better on my assignments and to keep moving forward towards that college degree. College can be an
As a college student, interdependence has become a great part of my daily life. Interdependence is when two or more people depend on one another. Not being afraid to be interdependent has become a very useful tool in my college education. I am able to ask my professors or advisors if I have questions about assignments or classes. Tutors are on campus to guide me and give me the extra help that I need to better understand my assignments. Instead of being scared and allowing myself to struggle and solve problems on my own, I depend on them to aid in my success. There are also situations where other students or myself can work as a team to complete a task that involves more than one person. This relieves stress and allows me to break out of my
In everyday life people experience difficulties and problems that they feel they are not able to deal with on their own and need help with. The help that people receive to overcome their problems can be in many different forms. People may receive help in an informal way, such as having a chat to a close friend or relative, who can offer support and advice or they may seek help in a more formal capacity from various helping professionals, such as counsellors, social workers, psychiatrists, doctors, etc. For all of these professionals it is their
Plagiarism is using another’s published works and using them as your own ideas. This can be done intentionally or unintentionally based on the level of understanding a person has of the material. When a person researches a topic and knowingly uses information or phrases without giving credit to the original author, then this is intentional plagiarism. There will come times when a person will unintentionally plagiarize because they forgot to provide a proper citation or do not think that the ideas can be construed as another’s. In this student’s opinion, unintentional plagiarism is done because a person does not know the proper way to give credit and chooses not to even try to learn how to give such credit according to different styles of writing.
To be an individual with a helper’s heart is something that not everyone is born with. I am truly blessed to have been born with a servant’s mentality. To me, helping is using your abilities to better the quality of another individual’s life. Not only that, but I also believe that it is being present and available for anyone who may need it, even if the need is not immediate. Helping can be a wide variety of definitions, and it is not always performing a service; sometimes it is merely being there for someone to sit with them. Yet, helping others is not always easy, in fact, often, it is very difficult, especially in the field of psychology. As a counselor, the environment you work in may require you to assist people whom are there against

My interest for the Attorney Advisor position with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) arises from my longstanding commitment to constantly improve myself. I have always enjoyed legal research, writing, and the complexities of intellectual property. I have no doubt that my enthusiasm to research, my eagerness to learn, and my strong ability to communicate clearly, work efficiently, accurately, and quickly, will make me an invaluable asset to the USPTO. I believe these traits combined with my unique skillset, developed as a result of experiences working for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (Diamondbacks), Nike Inc. (Nike), and the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, Liability Management Department (AG Office)

Following the independent learner inventory task I have developed a more enlightened method of thought for how I will approach my future studies. The questionnaire has highlighted that I am strong in terms of motivation and managing my learning, but I need to improve how I reflect on my learning and make changes based on previous learning situations. I believe that I may be too targeted at the questions on the page and focused on achieving completion rather than developing a strategy to employ for how I would better approach the studies to both achieve completion and to also benefit future tasks . Going forward for me to be a more successful learner I will have to better develop skills relating to assignment or essay structures, delivery, learning
It is generally said that there are filled to overflowing with problems in our life. Without denying, it is necessary and of vital significance to ask other people for a favor. However, what is the most important is that we should have a sense that we ourselves are the persons who can be most useful to help us to fight with and overcome the problems. If we ourselves do not care about that and make no determination to overcome it, it will be in vain, no matter who helps us.

“How Can I Help” could be a useful tool for many helpers. It would aid a helper in asking the necessary questions surrounding the act of helping. Strength and power are gained once the helper can identify and confront his or her own questions, fears, and resistance. In fact, one can see that the so called obstacles are really just opportunities to activate the caring nature that is in each of us. This is not an easy task and takes time and practice to be fully implemented. However, the benefits to society will far outweigh the
Interaction adds to the learning that a student would not get if he was isolated. Collaboration with the peer group and facilitator motivates one to bring meaningful discourse to the discussion that will qualify each student as a scholar. Each scholar knows that a contribution must be made to reinforce the learning, trust, and maturity in the community.
