My Reflection On My Job

During this class we took many assessments and I learned a lot about myself and what kind of leader I want to be. On your leadership potential I learned my behaviors are the same as leader, these are people who are opened minded, share ideas and values with the company and open to change in the organization. For another assessment t rate your optimism test I found out I am someone who is optimistic and I agree with the statement that people want to follow a leader that is optimistic, rather than someone who is pessimistic. Another assessment I took was called the 5 saboteurs test. There was a scoring grid and what each category means like BP-(be perfect), HU-(hurry up), PO- (please others), TH-(try harder), and BS-(be strong) I found out the my highest score is PO-(please others) and some characteristics include being happy when other others are happy, cares about other people’s needs, can have a hard time saying no, doesn’t like to annoy other people in the work place. Body language and verbal language include facial expressions and saying sure I can do that for you. For another assessment I scored a six which means I right in the middle between high and low resistance to change. I agree with this statement because I think for certain situations my resistance to change will be high or low. After taking all these assessments. I learned that as a leader why it is important to learn about yourself. These assessments can help you improve as a leader figure out your weak spots

Readers are aware of this ambiguity. Here the heaviest flashback thoughts and the short-lasting issue set up a continuing contrast throughout the poem, which enchants its effect.

However, I thought about the poems we covered in class and this poem called “The Fish” by Marianne Moore crossed my mind. I remembered that Professor Wagstaff, our English professor, who is also a poet herself, had mentioned in class that Marianne Moore is an excellent poet. We could all guess that the poem “The Fish,” is about a fish. Though, this poem interests me, not because how beautiful is the poem, but because how the poet wrote it. It was extraordinary and the words she used, left me with all kinds of

Reading chapter three was truly a thoroughly enjoyed adventure. In that, it was like a hunt, where the prize catch was a deeper understanding of word choice, word order, and tone. Furthermore, understanding the poets have a duty to words opened up new revelation as the poems in chapter three were read. Notably, the poet Gwendolyn Brooks stated that “I still feel that a poet has a duty to words, and that words can do wonderful things And it’s too bad to just let them lie there without doing anything with and for them” Poetry goes far beyond the simple rhyming of words, it is an art.

The excerpt from Kim Addonizio’s and Dorianne Laux’s book, The Poet's Companion was informative and lucid. As I previously noted in reading response eight, this excerpt felt less didactic and more like a hand-holding guide as compared to previous readings on creative nonfiction. I liked the authors’ emphasis on writing and reading being the only ways of finding one’s voice. The explanation of the elements of craft in the context of poetry was very helpful in recognizing the amateur mistakes in my poems. Moreover, the sample poems aided in clarifying any questions I had after reading the authors’ opinion on voice and style. I enjoyed reading the sample poems which

When reflecting on my experience writing, editing, and completing the culminating journal assignment, I found that it was fairly easy considering how this was an emotional, opinion based paper. This paper probably took me about three hours to complete because I had to thoroughly reminisce on what I had learned this semester. However, after taking a look over my journals, I found substantial growth in myself since the beginning of the school year. A specific challenge that I overcame when writing this paper was procrastination because I finished it as soon as I got it assigned. Additionally, I feel this paper highlights my intriguing flow and unique style of portraying ideas. Accordingly, I am most proud of how I elaborated on specific journals and thoughts throughout this paper. Overall, I hope to grow as a writer in the future by attending meetings at the writing center and asking teachers and peers for advice. In the end,

Over the course of the semester we have written multiple papers with an assortment of topics. Writing the various papers has expanded my writing skills because each paper required different skills to satisfy the requirements of the paper. Through the various strategies we have learned in class I have improved my writing tremendously through using clear and precise language, considering feedback, and incorporating and explaining evidence.

The last two years have moved quickly, and everything has changed so much! Lately, I've been in a funk, I've been unmotivated.. if you can believe that, seeing as I just launched my Spring Catalog, but I maybe uninspired is a better word? I have so many thing to write about however, if I'm not feeling it, I just cannot turn it on! It's not that I don't love my pending posts, it's just something is holding me back from writing in the manner in which I usually do and in which you are accustom to. Family life has been weighing on my shoulders and it's always disheartening when family stops being family but unfortunately, you cannot pick your blood line!

Bishop’s “The Fish” and Wright’s “A Blessing” are structured around metaphorical imagery to create balance between beauty that is known and unknown. Both poems intentionally begin and end with meticulous imagery for the reader to see through the story. Visionary insights of the speaker’s experience in each poem every step of the way builds the readers imagination.

Beginning at the line “Of any misery in the sound of wind” (8), the poem shifts from an ocular to an auditory manner. But towards the end of the poem, the repetition of words such as “sound,” “wind,” “listen,” “same,” and “nothing” play a prominent role in creating an empty ambiance for the poem. In both significance and sound, Stevens narrows the broadness of his poem into essentially a “Tabula Rasa,” which creates a neutral perspective for Stevens. But through this ordeal, Stevens creates a paradox that resonates through the second half of the poem. It is highly unlikely that the outcome of this ideological trial is feasible, let alone realizable, by an existent human being: it is logical to conclude that this entire procedure has taken place in the theoretical “conscience of winter” of a “snow man,” a being that is so overwhelmingly unemotional that it is immune to all human partiality. This paradox emphasizes the valuable aspect of the poem, as reading through the poem multiple times causes the reader to ponder questions that delves deeper into their psyche and the mind of Stevens. It also has a magical quality to it, as it provides a pleasant outcome that allows the reader to experience something that isn’t in the realm of reality, but more of an imaginative

The essay I believe that demonstrated my best work is essay number 4.In that essay I was able to express myself and share my believe with my reader. I was able to provide concrete evidences that support my claim. In my mind that essay could change someone's opinion on how they view the public school system. There were some minor grammatical errors in the essay but over the essay was excellent.

This is late, but i’ve been busy, what else can I say? Finding the balance between working on my writing, generating steady income, and progressing with creative projects has been grueling. However, It’s been a satisfying challenge. We all struggle and for the first time in awhile, I feel like i’m struggling for a good reason. But that’s a piece for another day, I digress.

In poems it is essential to be a creative writer. From exposing deep thoughts to giving humorous jokes throughout the sentence. As a Human being, we may have difficult times in understanding what is trying to be said. We may agree or disagree depending our viewpoints on life. One of my Favorite poems is “The Ballad of Sue Ellen Westerfield” By Robert Hayden. The type of poem that has some history and confusion. When getting the audience confused, it makes them want to know more and reread the whole passage again. Robert’s poem was a fresh new opening that brought an old dimension, his creativity to open the minds of others and look back to the past.

My personal mission statement is as follows: To be a positive and influential person in society while still being myself at all times.

Beginning the writing process, I established for myself a mental roadmap. I asked myself what I was trying to say, and what the goal or intent of the writing would be. Was I attempting to persuade my readers, or to be didactic instead? I considered the "how" part of the equation later, and honed each sentence word for word. The how part of the writing process was relatively simple compared to the question of what to say, and why. I had to imbue the paper with social commentary, for there was much to say about these readings.
