Personal Reflection Essay : Personal Aspects Of Work

While I appreciated that one of my peers provided feedback on my work, I feel that the feedback that was provided did not fulfill the assignment. My peer did not provide detailed feedback on my paper that could be adequately incorporated in my review and revisions. Most of the information that was provided as feedback were simply statements that reiterated what the prompt question was. Please see the below feedback provided to me by my peer.

When my advisor asked me if I wanted to take summer school the first thing I said was, “Yeah, I want to take English 101.” The only problem was that it started at 8AM and I usually worked the night before, but I thought I could handle it. I enjoy writing. I actually write in my free time sometimes, so I thought English would be no problem. For me, writing is either extremely easy or extremely hard. It’s easy for me when I don’t have restrictions from what I can write about. I can pick any topic and write it anyway I want. Writing was hard for me when I had to write about a topic I wasn’t an expert in. Maybe because I just wasn’t completely motivated by the topic. During English 101 I wrote a personal essay, informative essay, persuasive essay, and a textual analysis essay that made me really improve on my writing skills.

Knowing, caring, and doing is our school's motto or “mission statement”, as my 7th grade advisory teacher, Ms. Farris, would say. With this being the mission statement, it helps me strive to complete this mission. Over the course of the first half of this year, I have gathered pieces of work as evidence to show I met up with this motto. But before I continue to explain my work, I will clarify the definitions I have made while being in this school for four years now. Knowing means being able to notice what’s is going on around you and to have knowledge on the topic being able to explain it. Caring means that you’re actually showing that you care for what you’re doing by putting effort. Lastly, doing means that you’re physically doing something benefiting yourself or others.

One thing i feel strongly about is fighting against racism and discrimination .Racism has done nothing but bring us to hate one another, and fear. However the very idea of embracing our differences makes us feels too vulnerable for the majority to accept. Racism and slavery still unfortunately exist to this day.I do understand that many people may feel uncomfortable with the different cultures and beliefs.I on the other hand truly wish to do what is in my power to help people understand that differences make us unique in a good way. Learning different words in different languages is something have passion for; I would love to make people comfortable just the way they are especially in such a diverse school like Tennyson. You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty-Gandhi.This quote is makes me feel better about myself and makes me reflect that sometimes you will struggle with a group of people in life but that does not close your dose if someone suts you down.wrong things done by few cannot define the entire humanity.In this world i believe there is greater good by ignoring the terrible things done by bad people.

As the saying goes, we all have skeletons in our closet. As you get older you have more and more things in your past that you are ashamed of. There are two kinds of ways you can handle these regrets. The first one is the easiest, let your past mistakes consume you and fall apart. The other option is a bit more difficult, reflect on these mistakes and learn from them. For this assignment I will be discussing my own past, revisiting bad memories and reflecting on some of my mistakes.

Examining my Work, Play, Fit and Push planner for this week I started off pretty strong. Tuesday came and I slacked off a little because I started feeling sick on Monday afternoon and felt even worse Tuesday, so I got preoccupied on trying to feel better and didn’t work on the schedule I planned, besides doing homework and going to my final critique. Wednesday I felt better so I was able to focus on the schedule again, reorganizing my room as well as my bathroom. I want to be strict on myself following today since being sick kind of threw me off schedule and got me unmotivated. For the rest of the week Friday through Sunday I’m going to try to follow the schedule I have picked out since its little more laid back than the rest of the days. Besides the let back of not feeling the greatest I would say this week went pretty well and I can still finish strong this weekend following my plan.

In this chapter, Job refutes his friend, but he also praises God and acknowledges his power through this refutation. Even through the tension between himself and his friends is increasing, he does not curse God or turn away from him. However, Job still acknowledges his suffering. My pastor often talks about how there is a distinction between pain and sin. However, he also explains that our actions in pain can sometimes be sinful. Job models how one can experience immense anguish, but avoid sinning against God. Job also alludes to the concept of inherent human depravity when he states, “How can mere mortals prove their innocence before God” (Job 9:2). Even though Job believed his suffering was not the result of sin against God, he remained humble before God.

Life is made up of many different experiences, both good and bad. It is through these experiences that we grow and become the person that we are today. Whether in personal life, school life, or work life, we are constantly expanding our knowledge and ability. When one takes the time to look back at all the experiences they have lived through, they can truly appreciate where they have come from and how much they have developed over time. When I reflect on my own experiences in life, education, and work, I realize that I have every tool I need to succeed in the workplace.

In general, how successful was the lesson? The presentation was successful. There was a large turnout of 12th and 11th grade students as well as parents/guardians. The students and parents/guardians were engaged in the presentation and information that was being provided. It was also a great time to provide resources to the attendees, such as the HAAS counseling website.

The main goals for this project, as I said in my email last year, were to improve my work ethic, and create something I was proud of. I believe I accomplished both of those things, but first I will discuss the things that I would have done differently. Most importantly I would have captured more emotion in my photos. Not just more photos, but a wider range of emotions. I did capture some other emotions, but I had a lot fewer shots of them and therefore even fewer made it into the final project. I think that Braden purposefully wore a hat when I was taking photos of him, but I didn’t notice until it was too late. I would have worked harder to make him comfortable without it, but it took me too long to realize. I think I captured the main mood of what he does which is a sort of peaceful kind of work. He really seems in bliss when playing guitar and I was really able to capture that with the images I already took. As I continue to photograph Braden I will try to get more images depicting sadness, happiness, frustration, etc. I also wish I had more time with Braden. I took very opportunity that I had to take photos of him, and I shot at many different locations, but I am looking forward to photographing him during the school year when he is not gone with his family so much. This way I will have opportunities to photograph him in even more environments and doing more than just playing guitar. I will focus a little less on composition and more on the story, emotion, etc. I think

When first embarking on my college journey, my writing skills were not a salient topic of concern. I have always considered myself a solid writer, and have earned corresponding grades that reflected, while somewhat bolstering, my assumptions. As I enrolled in HNRS 103: Honors Written and Oral Communication, I felt that I would do well, and it would not be a course that I would necessarily be constantly worrying over throughout the semester. I expected to write papers and do written assignments regularly, in addition to give speeches and oral presentations.

I was a student at Prince Nora University (PNU) in the College of Education in Saudi Arabia. Most of my classes at PNU seemed challenging because of the limited number of qualified professors. In my first half of my study, we had foreign male and female professors from Egypt. The teaching methodology mainly used memorization and there were neither time to ask questions during the lessons nor time for discussions. I would copy a lot of notes after which the professor attended one or two lessons briefly to go over the notes and to give further assignments.

The focus and objective of this paper I believe can be summed up in one quote “you learn from the past, live in the present, and prepare for the future” – Thomas S. Monson. While writing this reflection, we are judging our pasts, thus hopefully learning from them, and applying their lessons to our lives today. Therefore, while applying its lessons into our lives we are preparing for the future and how these lessons will affect us down the road. While brainstorming and reflecting about this assignment I was able to pinpoint specific moments in my working life that have lead me to where I am today. During the remainder of this personal reflection I will be sharing some of the watershed moments that have led me on my current working journey.

To dive into this idea further, I decided it would be beneficial to get to know myself better and the desires God has placed within my heart through the completion of two personal reflection exercises. One of these two exercises required my response to the question, “If you could convince someone to pay you to do what you love, what would you be doing? What might this mean for your vocation(s)?” In answering this question, I started to wonder about my aspiration to be a chemist (currently, leaning towards forensics chemistry). I responded:
