My Reflection In My Life : My Metamorphosis

What is Metamorphosis? In strictly technical terms, it is a change in the form and habits of an animal during normal development after the embryonic stage. For instance, a caterpillar would change into a butterfly, a tadpole into a frog.

Metamorphosis is a concept we are all familiar with, normally using the word to refer to the changes insects go through, specifically butterflies. (Hook) However, there is another idea of metamorphosis, that does not involve a caterpillar creating a cocoon. Humans experience metamorphosis throughout their lives, changing the way they act and behave. Metamorphosis is also experienced in the form of disguises, which can be used to serve many different purposes. (Discussion) This idea of metamorphosis is an important aspect of identity in mythological texts. (Thesis) In the Odyssey, Homer uses metamorphosis on the character Athena to help her fulfill her role as a mentor. Ovid’s The Metamorphoses also uses metamorphosis of the characters Io

The most obvious metamorphosis is that of Gregor. Throughout his entire life, Gregor has let other people make his decisions for him. The physical metamorphosis that he undergoes is the first occurrence in his life that no one in his family has told him what to do. This change allows Gregor to find his inner self and disconnect himself from the orders and hardships brought out by his family. By means of his transformation into a giant insect, Gregor has been released from his responsibility to support his family without having to assume the guilt of letting them down. He has also changed from the provider to the dependent. Richter brings up the point that the transformation of Gregor was not necessarily a bad one.

story. While he had expressed earlier satisfaction with the work, he later found it to be flawed, even calling the ending "unreadable." Whatever his own opinion may have been, the short story has become one of the most popularly read and analyzed works of twentieth-century literature. Isolation and alienation are at the heart of this surreal story of a man transformed overnight into a kind of beetle. In contrast to much of Kafka's fiction, "The Metamorphosis" has not a sense of incompleteness. It is formally structured

Within Sports Coaching Literature, it has been established that reflection is a generic term for intellectual and effective activities, in which individuals examine their experiences, in order to develop new understanding and intrapersonal appreciation (Knowles, et al., 2006). Research in this field has advocated reflective practice as an approach to professional development which positively impacts coaching effectiveness (Cropley, et al., 2012). This reflective report shall discuss, analyse and evaluate my own personal development throughout my first semester spent studying at UCFB, in order to develop new understanding and intrapersonal appreciation, and help explore my decisions and experiences, increasing understanding of

Starting my journey through college again was a big decision for me. Being a single parent of two children, a homeowner, and holding a stressful, full-time job left me with little free time. However, I longed to reinvent myself and find a way to advance my career. Meeting personal goals to further my education outweighed the guilt I felt, as my children were not young any longer. I decided to make advancing my education a top priority. Discovering that when I have a goal my follow through is definite, but it is not always easy. What I overlooked as I headed down the path to fulfill my educational goal, was that stress has real health consequences.

Metamorphosis is the transition in which a minuscule caterpillar blossoms into a stunning, enchanting and powerful butterfly. This process is synonymous to my long-lasting journey of shifting my beliefs from the depths of a pessimistic cesspool to the heights of enlightenment. In fact, there was a time in my life which can be considered my “larva stage”, in which I firmly believed that my social anxiety would be everlasting because I thought it was an incurable genetic defect. Constant reaffirmations of negativity from middle school have successfully plagued my mind and rendered my mind into a state of hopelessness. Fortunately, the introduction of high school despite what many associate it with, has led me to enter the “phase of a pupa”, considering its massive amount of opportunities to engage in social organizations. It wasn’t before until I attained the form as a “butterfly”.

“Metamorphosis” seemed to be about the characters in the story changing or transforming both through their appearance and personality. Gregor transformed into an insect and over time his personality began

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is a novella that begins with an absurd concept. A man wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect. While this concept for a story is certainly absurd, Kafka contrasts this plot with a rather dull, plain narrative. It may initially seem novel to explain a ridiculous situation in a simple manner, but this causes the novella to be quite boring.

As I began facilitating my scheduled students, a classroom teacher requested I also support non disable students not being serviced in the program including them in minor groups. Overjoyed with this innovative position, I knew instantly this was my calling to be an educator. The love of engagement of the lesson that reflects unambiguous communication between students and their peers, collaboration between teacher and student, motivation from students to students. In addition, I appreciated and accepted my newly found role, becoming euphoric when the Special Education Director employed my services in the summer of 2006. I carefully observed numerous effective and efficient teachers’ model positive curriculum lessons and strategies to students

Metamorphosis or the process of change can be utilized in a variety of ways. Some people resist metamorphosis because it offers them security, others embrace change as it means to experience growth. Metamorphosis can be a catalyst, it helps people who haven't gone through change, or for others who want to stay how they are, meaning their safe zone. Metamorphosis will give people a boost in life if they are suffering, which will help oneself proceed in a healthier way. Goethe embraces metamorphosis instead of resisting it, which leads to a more profound change.

If you walk continuously along a straight path, you will never be found again. But on a cyclic path, you come back repeatedly at the starting point and eventually cover endless distance, provided the energy and system remain intact. Interestingly, most phenomena occurring in nature favour a cyclic rather than straight path.

Henry Ford once said,” Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success.” I believe everything that happens in life happens at the time we take our first breath in the world. We typically get our greatest memories and our greatest successes at our life’s milestones. Some of these milestones include, graduating high school, attending college, getting engaged, and getting married. These milestones are what shape us into the person we are today.

So there I sat in my seat, either looked outside the window, or stared at my watch, watched the second hand running around and around, hoped that the moment that I have waited so long for will actually become a reality. I lay in my bed the night before we received the grade for our paper, stared at the ceiling feeling not only excited but also nervous about how I had done on a paper that I worked so hard on. I began talking out loud to myself “I know I did very well on it, I had to, maybe 54 points out of 60? Yeah, that sounds great.” I had spent countless hours working on that essay, I had been collecting many materials to support my topic and sorted them carefully, and then I spent a whole day to finish it. So I was confident about my paper and believed that this time I would have my highest paper score in my student life.
