My Life Reflection Paper

People often look to divine interaction for guidance in life; those of religious faith pray and find comfort in a higher power having their best interest. People of faith often rely on their God or other divine subject of worship when making life choices and believe they make the best choice when considering the impact it will have on their faith. Their fate is in the hands of their God and their choices through life determine the outcome God has chosen for them. However, it is also believed that a higher power can predetermine one’s future and the decisions they make in life are all part of a fixed plan they have no control over. Fate has been interpreted differently throughout literature and while there is no clear interpretation of its intention,

I believe that fate was made up by people to find closure about their future; some people use fate as a way to justify their actions. It was an idea made up by someone to make them feel like they had a purpose. Most people believe in a religion and most religions involve them praising a “higher being,” and I think it is a possibility that there is no such thing as god or “the creator.” What if it’s just a way for people to explain how humans exist or a way to explain why things happen the way they

Aside from being told they are too young to have the disease, many teenagers who think they may have endometriosis are said to be crazy, as Ballweg says in her book, “A disease that will be chalked up to psychosomatic problems by some because they lack awareness about endo… one can understand why endo is very challenging for those with it, particularly teenagers” (Ballweg 241). In an experiment, 4,000 women were interviewed, and 61% were originally told nothing was wrong, where 69% of these were gynecologists themselves. More funding and research will lead to more awareness, and problems such as these can be avoided in the future, if the necessary things are done for improvement today.

I was diagnosed with Endometriosis in 1996; I was only 12 years of age. Doctors still believe that endometriosis is rare in preteens, teenagers and young women; I can prove them wrong in many ways. Therefore, they do not consider a diagnosis of endometriosis when preteens, teenagers and young women complain of symptoms like abdominal pain, pelvic pain and menstrual periods due to them being so young. On August 7, 1999, I went to my

I found your paper interesting and agree to that life experiences are also important. As a healthcare professional, I have worked with people from all educational level and found that the highest education and best performance does not go hand in hand. An example would be a registered nurse with Masters degree, who needs to call the Vocational nurse without a degree to insert an IV catheter. Conversely, education is also important. Between the same nurses, the one with Masters might recognize a patient crises when it comes to electrolyte imbalance and notifies the physician in a timely

Influence is defined as "the power to change or affect someone or something" by Merriam-Webster online. No matter how big or how small an influence is, it has the power to change the world for better or worse. In my lifetime, I have been influenced by many experiences and people. Life is a constant change because of influences. 4-H and my mom are the most dominant influences in my life that push me towards pursuing a college education.

Many activities are offered at Sidney High School. I have participated in numerous of these ranging from National Honor Society to basketball. An abundance of the programs I have been involved have taught me lessons on becoming a better student and member of the community. Teachers have come and gone, some leaving a large impact on my life. These experiences and relationships are ones that I will hold with me as time goes on. These teachers have influenced the way my life has taken shape. Being in all these activities does not only leave an impact on my life, but the community and school as well. They have taught me right from wrong and I believe I would not be the person I am today without many of these activities and/or teachers.

Invidious comparison and vicarious traumatization are two things that most people will experience in their lifetime. I know for I personally have experienced both during my 28 years of life. Invidious comparison and vicarious traumatization can both be damaging to yourself and other people involved. That is why I'd like to take the time to explain a few important topics on invidious comparison and vicarious traumatization, such as; how to stop invidious comparison, identify strategies that I currently use to avoid vicarious traumatization in my personal life, how those strategies will help me avoid vicarious traumatization as a human service worker and what strategies I could develop to avoid it as well.

Life is and always will be unpredictable. You want to go left, but life takes you diagonal right with an upward slant. Nothing is set in stone despite what you are sure is going to happen. It is like a game of baseball when you are sure that the pitcher is going to throw a fast ball at you, but instead throws the ball to first base and gets your teammate out. The complete opposite of what you were expecting because of your limited view. You were waiting and watching for the pitch which meant you were not paying any attention to the teammate on first base. “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” John Lennon said that. When you have this idea of what life will be and you follow it, the chances of it changing are greater than the chances of life being exactly what you expect. I had always thought that I would never make it very far in life. My view was limited to this very narrow field of vision that surrounded my life when I was young. You had to be smart, with a good family, and you had to be able to contribute something to the world. I did not have a future that would work out well for me because I was not smart and I could not contribute to anything. At least that’s what I thought for the longest time.

Procrastination. Laziness. Comfort. Everyone is faced with these struggles, and many tend to take them without question as they run through life.(Hook, Framing Start) It is often said that you should be meeting the minimum and you will be good, but in my work, studying, and personal projects I have found that doing the minimum will lead to minimal results for a minimal impact in life.(They Say, I Say #1) One practice I have begun to adopt and use in my daily life is the belief that anything is achievable, any vision, any idea, any dream, through hard work and the self-discipline to look at struggle and accept that there is no easy way out besides getting it done.(Thesis)

For someone currently studying at the Sauder School of Business, I am amazed that I got into this school. I have never taken a business course in my life (asides from learning a little about marketing during my yearbook course and from watching television), and my high school curriculum was centered on the sciences. All I knew was accounting since both my parents are accountants; I was also aware of how prospective accountants needed to obtain their Certified Public Accountant (CPA) certification and the existence of the “Big 4” accounting firms. Thus, I was fairly narrow-minded and just hoped to get my bachelor’s degree with a specialization in accounting.

3 years ago, I was in grade 10. Back then, my life and personality were gravitating around 3 main things: books, academics, and competitions. I never really took the time to think about “ME”, what only mattered at that time was academic accomplishment and recognition. But today, I am constantly thriving to be a better version of myself through reflections, readings, meditation, and yoga. Now that I am a 19-year-old girl, I see myself as a silent thinker and dreamer. I perceive the world as a black and white movie where positive thoughts, diverse ideas, and authentic selves give it colors and sound. Although I am often times quiet and reserved, I remember having a conversation one day with my teacher and he said: “You have the soul of a grandmother” Well, I believe that to be true due to some of the challenging experiences life has put me through and that has made me a stronger and mature person. And that is why I have also learnt the importance of always being kind and to spread love around you. If I am not going to school, most of my days consist of reading, watching documentaries, working on business ideas, learning German and playing general knowledge games. I also like to put myself in environments where I get to interact with people from different backgrounds. That always enabled me to learn a lot about myself and others. Five years from now, if I get to be asked the same question again, I am convinced that half of my answer will change too. Not only will I say that I

As a very small child I don’t remember too much, but the things that I do remember were seen through a child’s eyes that has made me the person that I am today and I will always have those memory’s with me until my last breath on this earth. In this essay I intend to show how my childhood and adult life to this point has influenced my life, my journey. By utilizing the adult development theories from this class I also intend on showing how they relate to my Life experiences and where I am today as an Adult student.

One's dream and aspirations to supersede in life must be stronger and greater than limitations set forth by others. The experience that were bestowed to me during my short life has elevated me to the woman I am today. Please walk with me as I give you the opportunity to see the world from my eyes:

This explains the beginning of my life all the way to the end of my life. My life from the beginning was very fun as I grew up living with my mom’s friend and my friend. But there were a lot of fights and I was very hyper back then. I have ADHD so back then when I was little; I was very hyper and wouldn't stop moving around the place. I always was annoying back then and never seemed to get my homework done at school.
