Hem And Haw Reflection

Within this essay I will be concentrating on explaining how an individual can implement reflection in their learning experiences. Applying skills of reflection to a particular learning experience such as induction week will be the main focus of this essay as it will convey the importance of reflecting upon the experience of working with other students.

In the book as in my personal life, there were two people with very similar environments yet their lives took completely different paths in the end. Their paths determined by the choices they made at different situations in their lives. Those choices explain who they have become and create the goals that they have set for themselves. The choices also opened up other opportunities that they each will have in their future. No matter what life may hand you always be careful with your decisions you make. Consider how this will affect me tomorrow, a week from now, or even a year from now and go with the one that leads to a better life for

Contrasting with this bleak representation is Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower. Parable centers around a multi-faceted, strong female lead named Lauren who shows herself to be a caring and capable leader throughout the novel. Lauren shows both intelligence and an inclination for leadership. Among her neighbors, Lauren is considered “smart and industrious” (Butler, 24). Lauren is proactive and plans for the future—she discusses her plans with Joanne and tells her, “We can get ready. That’s what we’ve got to do now. Get ready for what’s going to happen, get ready to survive it, get ready to make a life afterward. Get focused on arranging to survive so that we can do more than just get batted around by crazy people, desperate people, thugs and leaders who don’t

I don't think this would be an effective stratgey in keeping her students attention on the lesson. Because the student can appartently doodle in whatever way they like and their doodles might acutally distract from the topic of the lesson. However, if the teacher would've of ask them to use the paper and makers to write notes about the lesson or to dreaw one or more pictuers of the concept she wants them to

I do not recall learning about reflective practice in my undergraduate studies. Reflective practice according to Barbour (2013), “is the cyclic process of internally examining and exploring an issue of concern, triggered by an experience, which creates and clarifies meaning in terms of self, existing knowledge, and experience; resulting in a changed conceptual perceptive and practice” (p. 7). According to Barbour (2013), reflective process has many positive outcomes to help guide the nurse to become an expert nurse that can make on the spot decisions that do not interrupt patient care. I feel that reflective practice would have been beneficial to help guide me from a student nurse to a practicing nurse with critical thinking skills.

During this week’s readings there was several things that grasped my interested including the roles of the supervisor, symptoms and interventions with burn outs, abuse from clients, contradictory demands, as well as confirmation. The first one is the role of a supervisor, as I have mentioned before I feel that I have a satisfactory supervisor at my current field placement. I cannot say that I have always felt so confident with my previous supervisors, however Cathy has showed me hope as well as standards for my future supervisors and for when I become a supervisor myself. Something that Kadushin and Harkness mentioned in the readings

Many people can take a lesson from this book. People should not fear the problems that they are facing, that would only make it harder for the problems to be solved. Groups also must work together to accomplish most tasks, which would make most of our problems less frightening and people would have more confidence when going in to solve them. After reading this novel, I will definitely try to be more brave, and respect the ideas of my groupmates, as it will bring my team closer together down the

Before choosing this topic I had to do lot of research on this. I took me a while to understand this topic. I had three options to choose from and all of them were current events, but college athletes getting paid or not was the one that make me feel more comfortable. After doing research on this topic for couple months, I feel great about the topic. It was more interesting when you put the topic in proposal form and describe the topic about what you want to research and how you’ll present it. Faux interview made the topic even more interesting for me because I interviewed a person and got their personal opinion. Yes, I feel committed to the topic because it’s one of the current event that’s breaking the news and it is catching lot of people’s

Haw overcame his fear of change and moved into the maze searching for new cheese" As he started running down the dark corridor he began to smile haw didn't realize it yet but he was discovering what nourished his soul. He was letting go and trusting what lay ahead for him, even though

As a middle schooler, I have experienced success and failure. Sports in middle were not always good for me. In some cases I was the only one struggling personally. Other times it was my whole team and I that were struggling. Instead of giving up in these moments and just quitting the sport or blaming it on someone else, I tried to be a leader and help myself and others to get better.

Since the first story of the unit is about a girl named Maria who moved from Puerto Rico to New York City with her father. Maria is slowly transitioning to her new life in Spanish Harlem when her mother comes from Puerto Rico to offer her to move back to Puerto Rico. Throughout the story, the students are able to view Maria slowly transitioning becoming a New York Rican like her fellow neighbors. Additionally, a text that would work hand in hand with this story would be The Challenge of Graduating On Time for Newcomer Immigrant Youth in New York City High Schools. The article states how obstacles for newcomer immigrant youth to graduate from high school on time. Moreover, the students must read and annotate any information that resembles Maria’s situation or even their own experiences. Lastly, when students annotate and read the article they will have a group discussion, sharing all the differences, similarities, and disadvantages of moving to a new country.

Experiences are what I believe help shape each person and affect our everyday moves based upon individual experiences, beliefs, or goals. The experiences I encounter distinguish my views and principles about society, without these experiences life would be unfounded. Social networks are created through personal experiences within people. This leads to our value system, which is meant to be defined within our behavior, culture, or decision making. As a person that did not put much thought into what my values, culture identity, or goals were before college I believe it has been a big factor into opening my eyes as I have progressed throughout college.

In the book Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson, out of the four main characters, I most resemble the little person Haw. Right away, it was obvious I was not like the mice. I am a thinker. Sniff and Scurry reacted far too immediately for me. When the change happened, they were already out in the maze seeing what they could find. Change tends to affect me more heavily than it did the mice. I tend to use a combination of brainpower and emotion when I am looking for my Cheese just like Hem and Haw. What makes me more similar to Hem is the reaction to the change. When the Cheese goes missing, Hem experiences an intense emotional reaction. He yells and screams because he feels entitled to his Cheese. He had been enjoying the Cheese for so long that he could not imagine a situation where the Cheese was no longer there for him. Haw’s reaction is much more subtle. He was sad. The Cheese being at Cheese Station C was a measure of comfort for him, and without it he was left in shock. This is precisely how I react. I tend to count on all the constant people and situations in my life. If my family, girlfriend, car, apartment, or air conditioning were ever to withdraw their presence it would leave me in shock. Just like with Haw, it is not about me having the most powerful of any of the things listed above, but more about my personal comfort with the current situation.

Conversely, Haw is an optimistic character who anticipates and accepts change. After resisting change in the first phase together with Hem, he decides to follow his instincts and venture into the maze alone. Along with his adventures, he writes his experiences and observations on the walls expressing his values and beliefs as they undergo change. Most importantly, he has set himself a goal and continually visualizes success. This way it is easier for Haw to learn from his mistakes and persevere to achieve the expected goal which is to find the new cheese station.

Haw gradually but slowly started to understand that there is a difference between activity and productivity. He even thought that the mice had already searched for a new station with cheese and might have tasted it also. This made him realize that he and Haw did try to alter their methods or adapt to change and were instead resisting change. He put on his running shoes told hem to accompany him, on his journey to find to new cheese, Hem refused because he thought that by going back into the maze they would achieve anything and instead decided to not move from the station.
