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.

As an adolescent I loved to read; I was very good at it. So much that my entire childhood revolved around fantasy novels- The harry potter series being a main focus. There in my bedroom did I increase my general sense of literacy , and sparked my curiosity. Since reading had become a passion for me at the time, t was easy to read for hours on end. There did i advance to more complex stories, and greatly widened my vocabulary. Whether it was stories of princess and knights, or of the psychology of the brain, I was able to read and comprehend it. However, I realize now that I was basing m y literacy on my ability to comprehend fantasy novels, rather than academic pieces. I chose only to read writings that had interested me, rather than trying new things and experimenting with new subjects. Because of my perceived literacy, I had made the mistake of going into highschool with a honors class.

In today’s time, social work practitioners work with and within various organizations and communities often and the need for a small group or team is essential. These small groups are formed together to accomplish work by increasing awareness and skill within the participation of each member and leader. Some tasks that cause for a group to be drawn are some form of an instruction, an opportunity or a perceived concern. In the social work aspect, this group can affect broader changes for a client.

Daily Burn is essentially the Netflix or Hulu of workouts. I have been trying it out and this is what I think about the service.

When I arrived at the agency, the room was crowded and many people were waiting for their turned to be served at one of the several tables. The person that I interviewed for this assignment was Emily Hampshire, the coordinator of one of a program called 180. Emily has been with the agency for over a year and is currently the coordinator of the agency’s newest program. This program is a gang prevention and intervention program and was created for the local at-risk youth in an effort to prevent gang related crimes and help youth “change their life around”, as Emily mentioned. This program was created in collaboration with the local Police Department and the Mount Diablo Unified School District and in

Although many details of my career plan may differ throughout the process by taking place in a different order, they are thrived for each all the same. The plan for my career includes nothing more, but one purpose, by helping others and flourishing to make a difference. To be successful with anything, taking the risk of proving my ambition is inevitable. Starting off first gaining experience in the field of nonprofits, learning the development process will help with long term goals in the nonprofit industry.

The purpose behind this assignment from my own understanding is for a couple of reasons. One of them is to help improve and practice report writings/responses, while another reason is to express what we believe our strengths and weaknesses will be in this chosen career path. This assignment is beneficial because it will prepare us for future writing assignments in the program, and better understand how we will be graded. It will also help us reflect on what skills we think we can bring to the table, along with weaknesses we can improve on. It will be a useful assignment to reflect on my own personal strengths, and will be a beneficial tool to my success in this program.

My educational experience is one amazing thing I would never forget. My parents gave me an experience of a lifetime that I would never let go and continue to expand. It was a gift of a great education I could have tossed away but instead I took advantage of it and it expanded my intellect and made me more independent. As a young girl my parents always told me, they wanted a great educational experience for me. They said no matter what it took to get me into good schools, to have a great education they will do it. My parents worked very hard to give me the opportunity to be in private school my whole life since pre-school. They always told me to work hard, be bright and be bold. The educational level I had being in private school my whole life was amazing. What was amazing about my education level is that I was able to take all college prep. classes, I took an AP Spanish class, my teachers were always on top of us to hand in work in time, essays in my English class were based on a college level writing. It was amazing because my school expanded my mind more on a college based level.

As my first semester comes to a close, during this time I have obtained many new techniques and refreshed some old ones as well. I have grown a substantial amount in my writing and as a person from engaging myself in this course. Filled with excitement and reckless nerves, college was a new beginning for me and many others. Hearing all the stories and advice that people gave me it, really made me create a sense of what was expected to happen. My first class of the semester was EH 106 early in the morning. From the time, we entered to the time we left that’s when I realized everything got serious. On the first day of class, we received a thick syllabus with everything that we would be going over in the class. From the code of conduct to

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

I set several goals when choosing to study this subject. I chose three simple goals that I felt I needed to accomplish. The first one was to pass this class. The second goal was to write better paragraphs. The third was to gain more knowledge in using correct grammar for my writings. I also found that there were several challenges presented to me in this class. I had problems with drafting the thesis statement and organizing my essays. Although this class presented me with several challenges, I found that through work and proper research, I have achieved all of the goals I set for this class.

Finals are already here, man I can’t believe how fast the semester has flown by. Next semester I will be off student teaching. After that I will be the one in charge all alone in high school land. For my final project in this class I decided to do option B, to reflect on my Practicum, write about what I have observed as far as literary strategies, and instruction. Talk about what I liked and what I would do different if it were my own classroom. I guess the best way to start this off would be to tell you a little bit about my Practicum.

It has been my first experience to observe a lesson in a school setting since I arrived in the U.S. All I have seen in this mainstream classroom seemed to leave positive impressions about the interactions between the teacher and students. As a teacher, most of the instructional strategies carried out during the lesson were quite familiar, others were quasi new for me for the fact that the context I am used to is far different from this one I have observed. It is commonly agreed that teaching and learning have general principles shared worldwide that any teacher can adjust him/herself to any learning environments. However, the context in which those principles are applied makes a big difference in ways students with culturally and linguistically diversity receive an instruction.
