How To Write A Self Reflection Paper

Hays (2008) discussed privilege and biases based on culture and how these privileges and biases can affect a therapist’s work. Having a healthy understanding of self-identity can help understand the role of privilege and biases. In order to help self-reflect, Hays (2008) presented the ADDRESSING model which includes age, disability (born with), disability (acquired), religion, ethnicity/race, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, indigenous status, nationality, and gender. This ADDRESSING model will be applied in this paper.

In this paper I plan to briefly review what happened during the counseling demonstration. Next, I will discuss two basic counseling skills that I believe I used well, and one that I struggled with. Finally, I will discuss the next steps I will take in order to improve my counseling skills.

Furthermore, Phillips, Peterson, Bakko, and Clark, (2011) completed research on promoting cultural competencies, chiefly with upper

The clocks at LIH appeared to be online and communicating to the WDM. I began my check to start data collection that is when I realized the clocks are not operating normally. I tried to reboot, initialize, and test both clocks though it appeared the clocks were in the process of successfully completing the task, it failed. Within the last two hours, I managed to get both clocks to complete a data collection successfully. I contacted Kari, LIH Coordination Center and request to have a TSO swipe their badge on both clocks located at the Checkpoint and Break Room, respectively.

It is quite clear that I am not a participative and also not an authoritarian leader because I stand between two of them as I score 12. The participative leader should have to get more than 15 and an authoritarian leader have to get less than 5 but as I have score 12, I can say that I am more of a participative leader not an Authotarian leader because I am more towards participative leadership style. The participative style refers to the teamwork approach and I feel that I have this characteristic more than any leadership style because I also like to do teamwork. I usually confer with group members before making decision so it means I have the quality of a consultative leader which means I also fall in the subtypes of a participative leader. But I can also be an Authoritarian leader when it will be needed. The Assertiveness is also a thing which describes my leadership style. I score 17 in leadership attributes Performa, how assertive are u? Form which I came to know I am assertive under the characteristics of an effective leader. Assertiveness is ‘referred to being forthright in expressing feelings, opinion, demand and attitudes’ (Durbin, 2006). The

The College of Charleston was my preferred college out of the colleges I applied to. A majority of the time this was a good choice. Then there are times when part of me thinks attending a different college would have been a better idea. Then again, it is only the first semester of my freshman year. Freshman year has a handful of requirements for classes, including the First Year Experience and the seminar that goes with it and many other general education courses. There were a good many choices to choose from for my First Year Experience class and The Gullah Community: Ethnographic Research in Gender and Identity was the one that stood out to me the most.

After five minutes, Ms. Zullo realized that the students were having difficulty making a start, therefore, she took time to address the entire class and have them, as a group, brainstorm ideas. Consequently, working collectively, the students were successful; once ideas were forthcoming, students began to make connections. The students were redirected to continue writing ideas independently. After approximately 10 minutes, the students were asked to stop and a new writing assignment was presented. Ms. Zullo told the students to explore an idea for new Beverly Clearly story including a title, a brief outline of what the storyline, and who the main characters are. The students were given fifteen minutes to jot down their ideas in their writing journals, after which they shared their ideas. During this time, I walked around the class helping students who raised their hands to ask questions regarding spelling, or who wanted to bounce ideas off me. The verbal descriptions students presented were far more elaborate that what they had actually written in their journals. Once the students had shared their ideas, they were given colored paper to fold in half to design a book cover for their book idea. It had to include the title and author and an

Well, I learned about this college when I mentioned to my guidance counselor about how I was applying to IUP and he said that this college would be a good thing for me to look into as well so I did. I then went home and checked into it more and realized that it would be an awesome experience and opportunity to go for. Throughout my high school, I have always taken advanced level classes to challenge myself. So I am experienced with honors classes and the challenge of them and thought that it would be a great idea and a good opportunity, if given the chance and accepted.

Even though this class was a requirement for my nursing school, I was interested in getting to know more about my health and how to live a healthy life. After the first analysis, I had several goals and things I wanted to achieve personally, however, the three most important ones were my water intake, eating healthy which includes eating more vegetables and more protein foods since my actual intake was below the recommended intake and finally exercising more to keep fit and strong. Exercising has always been a problem for me because I always think am healthy because of my size and weight, but I have had several incidences where I have been told by my doctor to exercise, so this class was an eye opener for me since I read a lot about exercise but was feeling lazy to start and kept procrastinating.

My advisor is Dr. Gary Goreham from North Dakota State University. I have been working briefly with him to discuss my thesis and ways to find research for my project through other courses. I will continue to work with him throughout my career in graduate school to obtain success.

Independent: Ever since I was a small child, I loved independence; I was always the child who refused to hold my parents’ hands in crowded plazas and adored exploring foreign locations alone. The moment my mom announced that my brother and I would have to stay at home alone while she worked at her part-time job, I immediately rejoiced over the new bestowment of responsibilities. By the time I entered 10th grade, I had more freedom than a lot of my friends in terms of curfew and financial spending, because I was independent enough to finish all chores and achieve my academic goals most of the times. Although there are times in which I burden myself with too much goals to achieve alone, I am constantly striving to find a healthy balance

In what ways are the data gathered from others (i.e. the data that serve as the basis of your Reflected Best Self Portrait) similar or different from your own perceptions of your best self?

I have always enjoyed writing, and I believed writing was a subject I was naturally good at. I turned in papers that were still rough drafts, I did not evaluate my sources, nor did I ever take the time to fully understand the prompt. It was not until my first semester of college, in my writing composition course, I realized that I had a lot of work ahead of me to be as good a writer as I thought I was. In the writing course, the students were required to compose several essays using different methods to help progress on the course objectives. The work in this portfolio demonstrates that I have used the methods of synthesis and evaluation of sources to advance my critical thinking skills and develop personal responsibility. Though I have

During the course of the quarter, I feel that I have progressed somewhat. I've gained a lot of knowledge on rhetorical strategies and how to present arguments effectively. In the writings I have written, I feel that each writing works towards meeting the course goals. Logos, ethos, and pathos were strategies and ideas we were introduced to (if not already in the past) and were built upon throughout the quarter. The knowledge gained over the course of the quarter weren't only those three types of appeals. Rhetorical strategies like proposals helped reinforce the course and using rhetorical analysis in different situations have become easier throughout the quarter. I believe that I have made sufficient progress towards becoming a better

I am now approaching the conclusion of my college career and starting to adjust to work life. This is a period of self-reflection and an attempt to put everything I learned into perspective. During this period of my life, I have been constantly thinking and contemplating my future. I feel very anxious yet nervous during this time while I am adjusting to this new stage of my life. When I was in High school my life was very structured, because I could be very dependent on peoples help and I obviously still lived with my family. When I went to college, I had to break away from that feeling of dependency and start the adjusting to adulthood. In college there was more responsibility and I started to become more independent. This was a crucial step in my life but choosing a career is going to be an even bigger step. It is a bigger step because; I have to start structuring my career goals and family goal for the future. At this moment all I can think about is my career, and how I can I keep improving myself for work life.
