Personal Philosophy Reflection

This notion again connects to the idea of searching for reality and to communicate within self. Education must teach young individuals to constantly be critical of self, and to communicate within their self-conscious in order to understand that everything that they do is not for themselves, or for the sake of others, but to serve something greater than us. At this point, however, individuals must understand that to some extent, there will always be failure. Humans are not born to be perfect, and therefore there is constant conflict between the ideal image and self. However, by being conscious that they are born to continuously follow the image of the ideal, it serves as a reason to be a better and greater person. In today’s society it is harder to teach young individuals of their consciousness because the world is ever evolving rapidly and these individuals are becoming a mechanism to serve the ideal of the society. It is important to teach with combination of freedom of thoughts and expression so that they are able to freely express and formulate their purpose. Giving freedom of thoughts could be risky, but by continuously developing one’s ideal with consistency, an individual is able to develop faith in reality and their self-conscious thoughts as well, so that they are able to effectively work on their

The essay demonstrates your ability to write clearly and concisely on a selected topic and helps you distinguish yourself in your own voice. What do you want the readers of your application to know about you apart from courses, grades, and test scores? Choose the option that best helps you answer that question and write an essay of no more than 650 words, using the prompt to inspire and structure your response. Remember: 650 words is your limit, not your goal. Use the full range if you need it, but don't feel obligated to do so. (The application won't accept a response shorter than 250 words.)

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.

My nursing philosophy is helping people in terms of humanistic care, that I discovered it when I was a fourth year nursing student. From my philosophy, I desired to be a family and community health nurse. Since I became a nursing student, I never considered that I needed to have a nursing philosophy to navigate my career. I practiced in hospitals about three years, which I got both negative and positive experiences. In particular, I figured out that working in hospitals persuade me to be a robot. There are three reasons that I discovered that I should not work in the hospitals. Firstly, I spent all my working time to do merely routine jobs, without any creative activities or critical thinking. A large number of patients in my responsibilities and timetable controlled me. Secondly, when I saw patients pass away in front of me, I had no emotional response any longer. I felt that it is a normal phenomenon. Thirdly, it is worse when I imagine that I have to spend more than 50% of my life, holding crying people, ill people, and patients at the end stage of life. I ask myself repeatedly what I want to be. I found my answer that I want to be a nurse who cares people with humanistic care.

Growing up I became accustomed to being in academic environments that were heavily populated by minorities. Due to this I was constantly surrounded by people who shared similar backgrounds and experiences as me. When I began my studies at the University of Maryland it was a completely different atmosphere. Coming into an environment where I was no longer surrounded by minorities made me feel out of place. Often times I would ask myself if this was the right place for me, but then I would remind myself that my hard work and dedication got me there. Still, I would have my doubts. During my second semester (Spring 2017) I met a couple of girls on campus who were members of SIA. As I began to talk to them more I quickly noticed their strong work ethic and all of their achievements. Meeting them helped me stop feeling out of place at school as I was able to meet more people with similar ethnic backgrounds as me. I admired their interest in creating a community of Latina empowerment. This is one of the reasons I became interested in joining SIA. Being in a place where the issues minorities face are often ignored makes it even more important to have organizations that focus on giving people the support system much needed in college. Another reason I became interested in SIA was through their events on campus. Members are constantly organizing events on many topic such as domestic violence and environmental racism. These events were interesting to me because they were on topics that aren’t often talked about. For example, when I saw flyers about their environmental racism event I became interested in doing my own research on these topics. Events like these are important because they help educate people on topics that are often overlooked. This made me excited to join SIA and be able to contribute to this.

As I started to improve, I felt that imagery and increase arousal was having a large positive impact on my performance. Therefore, it led me to have more motivation to keep having the imagery sessions. However, this time I wanted to try imagery from an external perspective, where I visualize myself from the perspective of someone else. It makes it easier to see the technique and the form of weightlifting. Like the previous sessions, I wanted to psych myself up and be cognitive specific by imaging the certain motor skills to get a feel for the movement. In my mind, I pictured myself as an outsider who is watching someone bench press. From my perspective, I could see the person’s overall form and body movement as they lifted the barbell up

Dr. Paul Farmer once said, “That’s when I feel most alive, when I’m helping people.” And that could not be truer for myself. I am fascinated and committed to improving the health of medically underserved regions spanning from my home within Appalachia and far beyond to international borders. Today as I write this, I triaged over 100 patients alongside nurses and medical students in the Dominican Republic; further learning what it truly means to become adaptable and use inter-disciplinary strength. Each member of our team in the Dominican Republic brought with us unique backgrounds, all of which combined to positively impact the lives of our patients in need. As an experienced EMT and emergency room medical scribe, I offered my knowledge of

As a small child, I dreamt of healing others. I carried around a toy doctor’s kit everywhere I went and would treat all of my stuffed animals with various cuts or “boo boos”. However, this dream I had continued to stay with me as I grew older, but the complexity of my dream began to change. I still had the mentality of wanting to heal others, but the reasons behind it began to develop and this can be shown through my personal philosophy. Defining my personal philosophy begins with incorporating my professional philosophy. I believe that my personal and professional philosophy is congruent in that I value the integrity of relationships, personal honesty, and truth when it comes to not only performing in the medical practice but in everyday interactions. In the medical practice, I believe that a solid foundation is built on forming quality relationships with the patients. This is why I believe in personal honesty and truth. In order to display these qualities in the relationship with the patient, it starts by having to deeply instill these qualities in myself. I believe that in order to fully understand a patient, I need to develop this empathetic and understanding relationship. It allows both parties to open up and see the true meaning behind their distress.

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.

My whole life I have wanted to teach. Ever since watching my kindergarten teacher write on the chalk board, create fun activities, and grade papers I knew I wanted to teach. My motives have changed since that time in my life. I want to teach because it brings me a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when I know I am helping another person grow intellectually and as a person. Whether it 's inside or outside of the classroom, I will try my best to help my students succeed.

Hello Grace, after reviewing the Young Professional Rubric and the Teaching Excellence Rubric then applying it to my own summer, I have come to the following conclusions.

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.

Many people would like to make a difference, not only in their own life, but in others’ lives as well. Deepak Chopra once said, “Everyone has a purpose in life…a unique gift or special talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.” All of us, at one point in our lives, have to make the difficult decision of the goals we want to work towards. We all have certain goals, standards, and expectations of ourselves. Not everyone will figure out what they want to be right away, and some will know from the very beginning. My journey began my senior year of high school.

For the past six weeks, I learned how philosophy has influenced the world globally. Learning that when human beings voice their thoughts with others, they receive a chance to change the world, especially if one person speaks one on one, one personage can change the world of one body. My belief in the power of language is strengthened by philosophy. This philosophy course has encouraged me to share my opinions that are not influenced by other peers or older adults, but to deeply reflect and research my beliefs and opinions. Looking at how philosophy has shaped the United States, I grant my thankfulness towards the Constitution, and the democracy and freedom we now have, compared to other countries.
