Integrated Practicum Reflection Paper

As OT professional, I am delight with all the important policy successes that the advocacy efforts have had in the last two years. I realized the importance of it and how we as an OT professionals as a member could do to support this association. OT professionals had demonstrated crucial importance in mental and behavioral health work this show the importance of the professional in this kind of set. The OT professional is relating to any kind of rehabilitation in all the disabilities that demonstrated the extend potential in the future of this professional. I chose the article “Thankful for his son’s future, Al Roker thanks occupational therapy” that an emotional testimony that it was use at the Welcome Ceremony at AOTA’s 2017 Annual Conference & Centennial Celebration in Philadelphia. As a

This course can be of useful in my everyday activities of dealing with Nursing Home facilities, NYDOH and Department of Social Services. I will increase my knowledge of different approaches on how to distinguish issues for solutions to operational challenges and learn advanced techniques on processes I can use to enhance my productivity in getting our members approved for institutional

In my third and fourth week of the practicum, I have become more comfortable talking to my patients. These five days paved a way for me to actually be more confident and use my nursing judgement and communicate with my patients. I week four, I feel like I am starting to feel more like a nurse, what’s surprising is that the patients themselves, actually forget that I am a student. I did not even know that I had a powerfully voice. Every time I am educating patients, sometimes they are in the room with their family members, in the end I am not only talking to mom, but I am also educating the family members to. To my surprise, they all pay attention, and listen to me. They look up to me for answers. The best moment was when the night of the 27th, I helped another nurse with her C-section patient, I helped in getting her catheter out, and clean her, helped her walk (She was in bed for literally 5 days in labor and delivery, and fainted 3 times there). She was only 20, so her boyfriend was also scared, and it’s their first baby. We finally got her to walking. The next day, when I was coming out of my patient’s room for the first introduction after report change, this young man walked toward me happy, jumping as if he wanted to hug me, and all the sudden started telling me how his girlfriend is doing, how she is now able to walk, and doesn’t faint anymore. He was just thanking me of the job I did the night before. It was the happiest day of my life. Because my nurse was place on

“I have told you theses things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 14:13. “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your god; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10. Theses are the words that god has spoken. The lord christ has helped with so many things you may not know about. Have you hear of miracles he does the little miracles in life.

I learned a lot about myself this semester. I am still searching for who I am and who I want to become but with doing the MVV it allows me to not only think about these things, but also really answer the tough questions and get an answer on paper. Though it may not always be the most positive answer, I have to start from where I am at and try to mold and shape those into who I want to become and be recognized as. I started this course in a negative mind frame. I was holding onto grudges that were pointless and assassinate to survive in the Leadership Minor. It was a waste of my energy because at first it was keeping me from really diving in and enjoying the unknown of the class. I had a hard time speaking my mind in the big circle. I just sat there and listened for the first few weeks and the longer I sat quiet the more steam built up inside me. I felt as if even if I talked and said what was on my mind, it wouldn’t matter and the class would just brush over it like they had every other suggestion good or bad.

Most people would agree that “practice makes perfect”. That goes for anything one does, including in an English class. Throughout the semester I have grown as a writer. There are still things that I could of course work on, and get better at. But, as of recently I have become a better writer than what I started out as. Concepts that I have learned I can continue to build off of to become a better writer. Which is something I hope to do. Going into English 1010 I knew there were things that I could be better at. Therefore, I came into class with an open mind. This class has taught me how to use certain skills to write a well written essay. By using the learning objectives exemplified in the class I was able to write multiple well written

Every fourth-year teacher trainees will have to conduct practicum and will work under the guideline of their associate teachers and supervisors. The purpose of doing the practicum are to put training into practice, to become accustomed to teaching in the tertiary school settings, and to develop and expand each trainee’s teaching expertise and confidence. In the following paragraph, I will express what I have learnt from doing practicum to reflect on my past teaching strengths and weaknesses from the teaching practicum.

Being in theatre for my whole life has taught me a lot about myself and the world around me. You learn that there are so many different people and cultures in the world and how vastly different the are. As an actor we are continually putting ourselves in other people's shoes. This stressed empathy and a certain cultural understanding about context and timeliness. This leads me to think that I have a fair understanding of diversity. Diversity is acknowledging that there are an incredible amount of people that come from a plethora of backgrounds and have formed different cultural identities than the rest of the population. This sentence is incredibly vague, but diversity is also a vague word. Diversity in a sense means different, so it all depends on perspective. I look at Chapman as a diverse campus, which many would agree, but it is diverse from me for totally different reasons than it is for the person sitting next to me, or my roommate. This is incredibly important when you think in context of learning and in the American lifestyle. To learn effectively, academically and socially, you need to be exposed to a diverse population with diverse ideas to have a fully rounded education. The United States and the American culture was founded on the backs of diversity, which is a fact too often forgot. It is instrumental to the development of our country and culture that we recognize, respect, and nurture diversity especially in times of peril.

At a young age money, politics, and first world problems never occurred to me. However, as I grew older all of these things started to hit me one at a time. From when I started my first job at fifteen, this thing called “taxes” took money out of my check. At that time my mother showed me all of the bills she had to deal with such as, house payments, insurance, and car payments. My entire world was turned around on the subject. This led me to start caring more about America's crises and the responsibilities that come along with adulthood. After bringing my child into this uncertain, harsh world, this subject concerned me beyond belief. It was a cruel smack in the face from reality. Starting with the little things, this is how the 2017 presidential election changed my view on this country, and my view on the world in general.

My parents used to tell me that education was a privilege, not a right, and that I was fortunate to live in a democracy where I was legally entitled to my education. As I got older, partially because of this upbringing, I used to think the word privilege could only be applied to address the wealthy people of higher social hierarchies who were bestowed benefits and advantages from society, a true life of privilege. I never once thought that word could refer to me. I made that mistake during a conversation I had a year ago with my brother’s girlfriend, Sara. To put it simply, she is a bright and radiant twenty-four year old woman whom I admire profusely, specifically for her intelligence and wit which got her into Dental School. With regards to this, it is important to understand that she is Asian and of Chinese-ethnicity, and I am of Macedonian-ethnicity but considered Caucasian. That particular day, I started applying to universities and was talking spiritedly to Sara after-school about my hopes and ambitions; I told her that I wanted to enter the English program and potentially head off to Teaching College afterwards. She challenged me by asking if I had ever thought about Law School. In fact, it was something I had never thought about, which I told her. To emphasize her point further, she told me about how when she was in her Biology program she had never aimed academically higher than getting into Hygiene school, let alone Dentistry. The idea seemed ridiculous to me.

How did you demonstrate mutual respect for, rapport with, and responsiveness to students with varied needs and backgrounds, and challenge students to engage in learning?

Scrunch a piece of paper. Now try to smoothen the mess out. Does the sheet of paper return back to its original state? I’m sure it doesn’t. “Breaking someone’s trust is like crumpling up a perfect piece of paper. You can smooth it over, but it’s never going to be the same again,” said by an unknown author. In the year of 2015, my family hit its breaking point. An event no one expected, however, I foresaw. I knew at that moment everything from that point on would be different.

Coming from a small stagnant town, I choose to take the class "Jerusalem: Holy City of Conflict and Desire" in hopes of better understanding religion and the history of the Middle East. This class surpassed my expectations by vastly expanding my perspective on identity, politics, and human behavior. The religious conflicts and cultures I learned in Jewish 231 directed me towards an intended major in Political Science, International Relations, and Middle Eastern Studies.

This cultural model best suits a multicultural organization like CC where there are different people from diverse cultural backgrounds come together to achieve a common goal. The model focuses on the way people think, their behaviour and future expectations based on their relationship with others, time and environment. Trompenaars believed culture is a way a group of people solve problems. In this internship project, these dimentions are used to analyse CC and its diverse workforce in order to have a better understanding of their working relationships, their foresight, how they solve their day to day business related problems and how they arrived at the present level of understanding among themselves.

All over the world, there are more and more environmental catastrophes occurring and we are beginning to see the repercussions of our treatment of the planet. Even though there does appear to be some action being taken to reduce the amount of risks, we still continue to follow our traditional ways in a lot of aspects. Something that I have personally noticed however is that certain communities end up facing the worst of the repercussions when something goes wrong. It’s no secret that people in the United States are persecuted based on their racial background, but I never really thought about how environmental issues played a part in this. My main goal is to look into why people seem to not care about the impact environmental issues have on certain groups of people based on their race. I specifically want to look into how the indigenous tribes of America are affected by this since it has become a recurrent theme throughout American history to blatantly ignore the rights of indigenous peoples in America and that statement could not be more true when it comes to environmental issues. I am choosing to make this my area of focus because I have volunteered my services on one of the reservations and have seen first hand some of the hardships these people have had to endure.
