My Reflection

Reflection is a major factor in "developing self-awareness" to improve services provided to everyone around me, this is to develop my own understanding in realising the good and bad made previously. Moving forward with a better understanding, as well as rectifying the mistake whilst recognizing the good points, (Horton-Deutsch and Sherwood, 2008).

In my life I have experienced so much of the losses and sacrifices I endured through, but with all the hardships, I still live day to day retaining knowledge and seeing the world's secrets and beauty. In the 18 years I have been on this planet, I learned to

cowering over in self-pity, fear, and anger, I vowed to live life to the fullest. I threw myself into my studies and I have lived life day by day constantly reminding myself that everything is temporary; emotions, thoughts, people, and scenery. As time marches on, I realize that my attitude and mindset throughout this hiccup in my life has defined me as a strong, positive, and passionate young adult. As Shakespeare said, "The world is an oyster", it's up to me to make the most out of life in any situation and I am doing just

The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the contribution of reflective practice for clinical nursing. Reflection has been defined as a way for individuals to “capture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate” (Boud et al 1985: 19)

Every experience I have had and accomplishments I have attained in the past helped define who I am today. Everything I have gone through and have done in the previous years of my life molded me into the person I am today. Not only did they shape me into who I am but also guided me in discovering the potentials I have buried deep within me and those I never thought I had. These experiences and accomplishments often mold us into someone we never thought we would be. Looking back at my past, it was not all good. I regret nothing, however, for I know that everything in life happens for a reason – may they be good or bad. Without the challenges and hardships of the past, I may not be who I am today. Back when I was in elementary school, I always

I look at myself in the mirror in my room and I realize how much of a person I have grown into. Before I used to be this shy little girl that anyone could pick on. I was always nervous to talk out loud in class mostly because of the way I speak. Now that I’ve grown up, I’ve changed into a whole different person in that I have grown greatly.

Advanced practice nursing (APN) can be loosely defined as an area of nursing in which nurses are required to practice at an advanced level in a specific area of interest. APN extends the boundaries of nursing’s scope of practice and contributes to nursing knowledge, and the development of the profession (Canadian Nurses Association, 2008). In order to become an APN, the nurse must obtain a master’s or doctoral degree from an accredited university in an area of concentration designated for advanced practice nursing. According to Joel (2009), there are currently four major groups of APNs: certified registered nurse anesthetist, certified nurse midwives, clinical nurse specialists, and nurse practitioners. APN focus on

At the beginning of my ATS unit my career goals were to be successfully offered an interview and gain a position in bachelor of Medicine in 2018 and to explore other medical field jobs I can do by the end of 2017 so I know what other alternative options are available. My learning goal was to get four HD’s for my semester two units in 2017. Even though it’s too early to say whether I will be achieving my goals, I still have the same career and learning goals. The only difference is that the strategies I have for achieving them are different and I’m also more aware of the hurdles that I may have to face in order to achieve my goals.

When I began discovering the factors that shaped my development into the person I now am as an adult, It was easy to reflect on the positive moments I got to share with people. Yet the more impact things in my life that impacted me came from the moments where my mistakes affected others. My development forced me to recall emotional times from my childhood that began to sculpt my thinking an perception of myself. I was raised by two parents who both values hard work and perseverance.

When I started this semester I expected college to be like highschool but harder. I was wrong there are many things that I did not expect, and though I did alright this semester I plan on improving a great deal next semester. Next semester I plan on improving how much work I put into academics, how I plan on spending my money, and how I plan on improving my personal life.

In the reflection of the mirror, Alice stands a few feet behind me, just in the doorway to my bedroom, bedecked in my black dress and her makeup and hair styled, carrying her large cosmetic case. “All right, come sit down.”

During this second semester I have been trying to accomplish my goals from first semester. These goals include being able to write smoother introductory and conclusion paragraphs, maintaining an A in ELA 10, and improving my writing in any way possible. I took many steps to complete these goals. First of all, I maintained an A in ELA by turning in everything on time and turning in quality work. Second, I improved my writing by continuing to write often and using newly learned concepts in my writing. However, my last goal is still a work in progress. I have been working on my introductions and conclusions by trying new methods out in my essays. For example, in my Of Mice And Men essay I tried starting my introduction with a quote, which I hadn’t done before. In my opinion, I think I met my goals very well and followed the steps I needed to to become successful in achieving my goals. To conclude, I successfully completed most of my goals and got the results I wanted.

This course I took very seriously, because it taught me what I did not know with what I did

This lesson was the first one I did during practicum week and I thought it went very well. I did this lesson in the morning pretty much after calendar time. We had to wait a couple minutes for some of the students to get back from extra reading practice. When I went up to the front of the room a lot of the students got excited. Considering I was somebody new, they thought it would be fun for me to teach them. I first asked the students what long vowel sounds they have been working on and almost all of the students raised their hands. I was very proud of the fact that I did not have any trouble with names when I was calling on them. I started the lesson with those questions in order to get them ready for the lesson, it was a quick warm up in order to start thinking about what we will be doing.

This movie changed my outlook on everything. Sam is a man who has a mental disability and he got a woman pregnant. The woman took off when she gave birth and left Sam with the baby. Sam tried very hard to raise his daughter Lucy, but due to the fact that he had a mentality of a 7 year old, he had a hard time. He got help from her God Mom, Annie, who was also Lucy’s piano teacher later on. Sam’s friends, who had disabilities as well, helped him with Lucy.
