My Personal Journal Analysis

My week was long and a bumpy rollercoaster. I was sick towards the first half of the week which made my days drag. However, I remained energetic for my class because this week was Read Across America week. The school had a Dr. Seuss book theme each day. I dressed up and the kids dressed up. It was so sweet and we delved into Dr. Seuss. We discussed his stories messages, the rhymes, real words vs. made-up words, and connections to our lives. The only downside was that a handful of our students were sick this week. On Wednesday, our class started out at fourteen and by 12:45 we had eight students left. It made classroom management easier, but I missed the smiling faces of the absent students.

Pattern recognition helps to develop the skills necessary to develop a differential diagnosis. When seeing patients in the clinical setting, practitioners begin to recognize associated symptoms, health history details, and assessment findings that are related to specific system alterations. By acknowledging these repetitive patterned-like affiliations from clinical scenarios, we as learners can begin to transform our foundational knowledge to critical thinking, diagnostic reasoning, and differential development. According to work by Flott and Linden (2015), a positive learning environment can be supported by understanding "attributes" that support learning (p. 501). Hence, pattern recognition is an example of an attribute that will contribute to learning in the clinical setting for nurse practitioner students. Consequently, being able to mentally sort a group of symptoms, findings, and diagnostics that are related to a particular problem can help build an intellectual database of reference. As a result, these steps help students develop a diagnosis, differential, and plan of care. A reflection of pattern recognition, problem-based learning, and clinical experiences will be examined further to help substantiate the contributions to the learning experience.

The earliest memory of my writing is in 4th grade we had to do the weekend news every Monday and it was due at the end of the day. I first would write down bullet points of what I did, for example, if I celebrated a birthday with someone or hanged out with my friends then we had to write it by hand on notebook paper and it had to be at least a page long. I was always the quickest because of what I did.

Whether it was in class when your teacher asked you to write about an experience. Or even if you had a diary or journal when you were younger. Before I ever wrote a memoir I was always shocked about how much people write in their memoirs. I never thought I could write pages and pages about something I experienced. The first time I wrote a memoir I wasn’t expecting it to be long. I expected it to be around one page long. Once I started writing I couldn’t stop. It was like I was talking to someone and telling them about my experience. Suddenly I was remembering details that I didn’t realize I remembered. It was so easy to write it because I was telling my story on a piece of paper. When I was done my memoir was about five to six pages long. It was longer than I expect because not only did I talk about what happened I also spoke about how I felt during that

In this week’s journal we were assigned reading in the They Say, I Say book. The assigned reading was to teach us how to write papers in an argumentative form, either agreeing with a statement, disagreeing, or a little of both. As explained in our chapter often writers are afraid to argue a statement, based on the fact that they feel as if they do not have enough knowledge about the information. The question to be answered in this journal is, how do I see myself as an arguer?

Sitting at a crowded table surrounded by my friends roaring with laughter, I gazed out at the ocean. The glaring sun burned on my skin, and I was exhausted from spending the day at the boardwalk of the Jersey Shore. My stomach was growling, and all I could think of was how badly I wanted food. All of a sudden, the aroma of melting mozzarella and fresh tomatoes hit me like a train. I could hardly wait. The waitress soon came over and left the pizza on our table. I wanted to begin eating at that second, but first I had to take a picture of this beautiful creation.

Humans differ from each other. Some people like to change themselves in a better way, and other accept how bad they are. Your concern may be correct, but it doesn't apply to all kinds of people especially for the one that read this book. Writing journal help people to be honest and it's a way of discovering out new things about themselves such as strengths and weaknesses. However, people may lie about a bunch of stuff, so they don't feel shame in front of the reader, but deep inside their heart they know what the truth is. On the other hand, you may not notice the difference in the writer after his/her first journal entry; things may take an 180-degree turn when it is the finale. For instance, my first writing journal isn't similar to this.

A person’s thoughts, feelings, emotion, and beliefs often shape ones decision-making process. Other components, including perception, memory, introspection, and reasoning also assist in the formation of opinions, shape our knowledge, and transform an individual’s viewpoint (Feldman, 2003, p. 3). Perception is how one sees the world around them, the sights, sounds, smells, and other senses creates an understanding of the external environment creating a mental image and often places an attachment to it.

There are four major personal obstacles which I need to overcome on a daily basis, they are; Temporal Lobe damage, chronic pain, Attention Deficit Disorder, and Fibromyalgia. Over the years I have found ways to overcome what some would call disabilities, through constant determination, and prayer. The Temporal Lobe damage has caused short-term memory loss and recall issues. To overcome these issues when I am studying, I have to write down any thoughts the instant which they come to me or it will be lost in an instant. I have considered using a digital recorder, but they are not always convenient to use. To help me overcome the symptoms of chronic pain, and Fibromyalgia, I have to schedule my classwork during

Every journal entry that we did in class, I made sure that It was heartfelt. I gave real life experiences and my perspective on things. For the final presentation I used my journal entry that discussed performing masculinities. I wanted to do a performance that I felt where I could express myself more but also one that could incorporate my peers. I wanted to reflect on my childhood a little bit and how that had an influence on my adolescence years. I adapted my journal entry by creating a script that displayed the actions of what I discussed in my entry. I knew that we paired in trios, which was perfect for me because I was able to have a classmate play the role of my brother and auntie. I transformed it into a performance by breaking down

The week flew by. I felt a day behind almost every day this week. The climate was another difference during the week. I had more time in the classroom than I have had and I felt almost out of place. Our new assistant has taken on my responsibilities within the classroom. Therefore, I am searching for my role in the classroom. I jump in when I see a need or help students catch up their work when they do not finish. However, this week is different because I was not an integral part in the rotations.

I think I feel more abundance when it comes to say that since I began writing the journal, I noticed more what others do for me. One example is my parents who always ask me how I am and care about me in all aspects. I feel I have the love of my parents and that fills me as a person and as a daughter.

I was eight years old, all I could think about was my family. How was I gonna go to school? Would I lose my friends? Would I ever see my brother again? I would write about my family breaking up. My writing was on a piece of printer paper with pens, (I wasn’t allowed to have markers at my mom’s house). She wasn’t home much so I would write about the boys she brought home. How some of them had tattoos and some of them had cool, funky hair.

When I was about eight years old, my father got me my own journal and it meant the world to me. The day I got it, I went into my room and instantly started writing. I was so excited to finally have something where I could have all my thoughts in one spot. I would write songs and poems that came from my feelings. One specifically, was a poem I wrote for my sister when she was sick and when I read it to her it made her smile and giggle. She was younger than me, and the fact that I got her to smile made me happy. I used to write songs for assignments I

One of my best memories of writing would have to be writing about my parents’ divorce or my grandma’s death. I know that may seem depressing, but for me they are by far my best pieces of writing. It was a positive experience because I got great feedback from my teacher. On the other hand, I didn’t have the best experience with writing a research paper. I found myself getting too worked up and overwhelmed about it. For instance, one night my stress level hit the ceiling, and I couldn’t focus on my research paper, so I gave up and put it off to the last minute. Even though I got a good grade on it, I still feel like it isn’t my best piece of writing. My biggest influence on writing is all the crazy things that have happened in my life, whether it be good or bad. It makes my writing style more diverse, and it’s a good opportunity to reflect on my life.
