Personal Experience Reflection

On 08/20/2017 at 1002 hours FTO Wheeler #4361 and I responded to St. Luke’s Hospital emergency room entrance, on 3555 Cesar Chavez St., regarding a women in a hospital gown trying to break the caller’s vehicle window with a brick. Officer Wheeler and I were in full police uniform driving a marked patrol unit when we responded.

This reflection will discuss personal diffidence and how it has influenced my academic studies, including my practice within placement settings. Gibbs reflective cycle (Gibbs, 1998) has been utilised as it illustrates a clear structure for the process of reflection. To conclude this reflection will draw together the themes which have emerged and highlight a clear action for future learning that will be used in order to enhance my future practice.

After reading and reflecting on the letter I wrote to myself from freshman year, I am very embarrassed, but also very proud to see how much I have grown intellectually. Although I have changed a tremendous amount, some things haven’t changed at all and probably never will, like the fact that I hated reading the material for Human Experience and Imagining Justice. As I said in my letter, the class sucked, but after reflecting, I realize how much I have learned about myself from them. I think that Human Experience really helped me grow as an individual and find myself in the chaotic time of being a freshman at a college thousands of miles away from home. Human Experience and all my other classes here at Eckerd helped me put my life into

As a result of the traumatic injuries which I sustained on December 4, 2014, while working as a police officer and on duty, I am unable to perform my duties as a police officer in a safe and effective manner, without jeopardizing the safety of myself, my coworkers, as well as the public’s, which I took an oath to serve and protect.

I believe I can have a lot of respect for the players, the server, and its reputation. I try my best to be as respectful to others because I want to be treated with respect. I've always treated people with respect (except for minor toxicity in the past), especially on this server. I've loved this server since the day I joined back in 2014, I don't know what it is but I always wanted to apply for staff, and I think I'm old enough and mature enough to help the server now. When I first joined Arkham I was playing in other communities as well (soup pvp, potpvp, etc.) and I couldn't not only dedicate time to the server, but I was quite toxic then. I've gotten better over time and have learned to control my "toxicity" so that I could be a nice to new players as possible.

Throughout the semester we have gone over a lot of topics ranging from our short and long-term goals to our desired major and career choices. I have always had a general idea of what I wanted to do, and the only thing that has ever interested me was working with animals. But when I graduated high school I wasn’t completely certain if I wanted to major in veterinary medicine, so I came to school as an exploratory studies student. And when I first attended this class I didn’t think that it would really help me make up my mind and that it was filling up a foundational studies class that I could be taking. But throughout the semester I’ve come to find out that this class has helped me a lot more than I thought it would.

When interacting in a group setting, I tend to overanalyze everything by cause of being a highly sensitive person (HSP). Consequently, I am usually more aware of subtleties. This in turn, helps me to analyze concepts, behaviors, and needs –accurately. In other words, I tend to focus on finding answers that align with my observations, ethical responsibilities, and commitments -when needed. For instance, I will go above and beyond to accomplish successful outcomes, even if I have to work longer hours; my motivation relies on the organization’s success, helping others, and my personal pleasure of accomplishment. Also, I would demonstrate honesty and keep promises, trust and support, I am understanding/ empathetic, and have respect for all of the group members.

When I was at a young age I used to love writing with all my heart. I would write only about fantasy because it was my own way of getting out of reality. When I wrote my fantasy stories I would go so deep into my writing that I would not notice anything else other than the words flowing through my mind as I write. As I grew older my writing changed. I started to write about my everyday experiences and my thoughts all on one paper. I found this method to be relaxing and I felt at ease when I begin writing.

In the fall of 2012, I had to have two brain surgeries to fix a condition I had called Chiari Malformation, which basically meant that my brain was too large for my skull. The months that followed were some of the worst in my life, I can not even begin to describe the pain that came with the surgeries. But in retrospect, my situation truly was not as awful as it felt in that moment. After having my brain surgeries, I was left to sit around and watch TV all day, but in retrospect this time proved to be one of the better events that has happened to me. Sitting in a reclining chair, unable to move with my eyes glued to the TV was the time that I developed an eye for film technique. During this time my life became more than watching movies, but how the lighting framed the actors faces, how the camera panned across the background, even something as simple as how the layout of the scene played into the overarching work. This was when I first began to grasp that I had a passion for work in the computer field in terms of electronic design.

The writing I did this semester for Engl 110c has meant alot to me because I was able to pick a topic that has such a huge impact in my life. I was able to do the topic about Navy Wives, which has a huge impact on me. I recently became a navy wife a year ago and my life has changed drastically. I was able to share everything I wanted to about the life of a military wife through my writings, as well as share to my classmates about my topic. I really enjoyed creating my ePortfolio because I could come out of my shell and be me. I made a ePortfolio website that would be for military wives to read. I believe this website would be perfect for any military wife reading it. I was able to give tips and information on what it’s like to be a military wife, how to prepare for deployments and how to stay strong being a military wife.

Last semester, in one of my classes, I was required to write a letter to God. I do not remember the exact words, but I do remember telling Him that I do make a lot of mistakes and I struggle with issues that Christians should not be dealing with. I told God that I am not sure that I am the type of Christian that others should look up to. Although I knew the Word, I prayed often and never missed church, I still felt a void on the inside of me. I often compared myself to Hannah. I felt a barrenness on the inside of me and I did not know how to fill it. On top of the spiritual emptiness I felt, I also had to deal with emotional stress. When I started attending Regent University, I had several fears that tried to prevent me from proceeding. First, I feared my status as a double minority in a field that is predominantly male would prevent many doors from being open to me regardless of my academic ability. Secondly, I feared having a background in engineering and not biblical studies would put me at a great disadvantage in my classes regardless of my knowledge of the Bible. Whenever someone asked me a question, I would have an answer, but I was not sure if I gave the right answer because I was never licensed as a minister as a pastor. My role within the church was as a server. I cooked, I cleaned, I played with the children, I visited people, I hugged people, I sewed and I loved working with my hands. In fact, I was the one who usually served the pastors and I loved my work. In

On June 14, 2017 at 11:00PM, as soon as I arrived in the meeting, one of the 2nd shift member, Phi, handed me the operator awareness of the different way to place pallet on scale at the extruder. Operator awareness came out the same I was trained which was not list anywhere in the work standard. While the meeting continued, I noticed that one of the member looked at me abnormal, upset. I did not pay too much attention to that because I thought it was necessary to find out while everyone was in the building for only one reason which was work. Once meeting finished, I walked to the working area, Extruder, as normal. The work that day remained the same as what I had told my team lead the night before that it was not ready for my shift to start as what supervisor directed. In addition, none of the 2nd shift member returned back to work area. I clearly remember that supervisor, Don Miller, announced in the meeting on June 12, 2017 at 7AM that work schedule had change and the last 30 minutes of each shift should be for everyone to have communication to the next shift or clean. With that reason in my mind, I discussed to my work partner, Mynia, that I have told the team lead about the issue on our work area but I did not see the change. We still have no material ready to load up and they did not mention anything in the meeting. We were both agree to have Mynia went to ask our team lead, Germaine. About 5 minutes later, Germaine walked out from the meeting in order to find me which

NTRO I consider myself a member of many groups including my biological family, my church family, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) alumni, and George Mason University’s (GMU) Master’s in Social Work (MSW) graduate student cohort. My biological family includes my immediate family members, as well as my extended family members. While I do not see my extended family often, I do identify them as close family members, as we share many of the same values and traditions. Similarly, to my biological family, I identify my church family as a group I am a part of. Before moving to Virginia to begin the MSW graduate program at GMU, I attended a church in Chapel Hill, North Carolina regularly. I quickly immersed myself in the activities and mission of the church, and it became one of the groups I most identified with over the course of my four-year undergraduate experience. Over the past few months, I have found another church in Virginia and I am confident it will soon become one of the groups I most strongly identify, as the church is a place where people with similar beliefs and values gather together for a common purpose. While I no longer have strong feelings of group membership with my church family in Chapel Hill, I now strongly identify with the UNC-CH alumni instead. Despite being over two-hundred and fifty miles away from Chapel Hill, I feel a strong connection to my past classmates and all other UNC-CH alumni as a result of having shared experiences

I felt like i lost my identity. My goals, My sense of self and my struggles all started when I wanted to become an orientation leader for UWB in 2016, having passed the written and group interview phase; I had a goal to leave no student feel like they were excluded, I was thrilled that I was getting so close to be able showcase my commitment to new incoming students while providing genuine care. The day of my individual interview struck me, I nervously walked in that day with an unfortunate outbreak of eczema. Embarrassed, I looked away while talking, pouring my heart into my words but not using my brain. A few days later i got a letter saying I didn’t get the job. My inexperience, shyness, lack of confidence always followed me, reminding me that i was a disappointment. After many failed attempts to get a job due to my lack of experience, the stability of my life started deteriorating. In the winter of 2016 my girlfriend cheated on me, I forgave her only to be cheated on again. Close family members passed away while having friends end their lives too short. I didn’t have anyone to talk about my problems and my parents always expected me to be the perfect student. I was overwhelmed with pressure, grief, disappointment, and anger. I skipped classes thinking that there was no point and my grades were plummeting, my motivations and self-interest all seemed to slip away

Throughout life it is important to take time to reflect because it is so easy to become tangled in our worries, stress, and busy schedules. Reflection can differ depending on the individual. For example, reflection to one individual can be accomplished through attending mass and having time to pray to God. For another individual, reflection could consist of participating in meditation or yoga. No matter how it is done it can be beneficial to one’s health and well-being. Reflection consists of taking time to carefully think and so it is necessary to make time for it especially since we are so use to a lifestyle of constantly going and never stopping. Personally, I try my best to reflect each day. In order to make goals for myself at the
