Personal Reflection Paper

Prior to designing the training program, fitness testing was completed. This tested the main fitness components that would be applied in physical activity. It was important that this was done in order to find my strengths and weaknesses

“The only limitations you ever have in life are the ones you put in your mind.” This quote by Napoleon Hill changed the way I have faced various obstacles and is one that I carry in my thoughts. It serves as a vivid reminder not give up at first glance or allow others negativity and limitations to steer my path. Instead, I learned to keep moving forward to surpass even my expectations and achieve what people believe to be impossible. Looking back at all my experiences, the goals I have accomplished and the lessons I have learned otherwise, I realize that many were thought to have been out of reach. Furthermore, I've been put down by others saying it would require more effort than I could provide, discouraging me from even attempting. However, when put through adversity and challenging situations, I was able to commit to a life-changing decision that has altered my life into something I never thought possible.

I wonder if everyone, despite their varying backgrounds from one another, has experienced “imposter syndrome” at some point in their life. There are numerous ways in which one can feel out of place, as I can firmly attest to. I feel like an outsider all of the time. Dating back as far as my early childhood, my personality and my interpretation of my personality, has lead me to believe that something is very wrong with me. Why am I so different from the outgoing and energetic people I see in movies and even in my everyday life? Why are there so many misconceptions about people like me, and why am I starting to actually believe that they are true? I can recall many experiences in my life in which I have felt inadequate compared to my

I would like to learn more about the topic of Personality in the class AP Psychology. Moreover, I would like to learn more about the topic of personality due to the magnitude of different things that can alter someone's personality interests me. Whether it be a tragedy in an individual’s family or a jubilant moment in his/her life, these moments have the chance of altering this individual’s personality. Also, I find it interesting that there is a plethora of different personalities such as whether an individual is social or not. Also, I find it fascinating how the media portrays different personality. That is why I like the topic of personality the best. If I had unlimited funds to conduct research in the field of personality, I would investigate alternate ways to assist people who are struggling with issues within their personality.

I remember giving myself goals and tasks throughout the day as a child. One of the earliest goals that I recall setting for myself involved showering and getting dressed after singing one of my favorite songs ten times. As aforementioned, I had to resort to singing because at that point I wasn’t able to tell time yet. However, I knew that setting and reaching this goal made time go fast and I felt happy. In reviewing the reading materials, I related to the main concepts of: emotional well-being and pursuing goals in innovative and positive ways as a formula for happiness; I appreciate the self-control theory and how it was linked to depletion of resources; and finally, processed my feelings about personal disclosure of persona on the internet.

For someone currently studying at the Sauder School of Business, I am amazed that I got into this school. I have never taken a business course in my life (asides from learning a little about marketing during my yearbook course and from watching television), and my high school curriculum was centered on the sciences. All I knew was accounting since both my parents are accountants; I was also aware of how prospective accountants needed to obtain their Certified Public Accountant (CPA) certification and the existence of the “Big 4” accounting firms. Thus, I was fairly narrow-minded and just hoped to get my bachelor’s degree with a specialization in accounting.

I am now approaching the conclusion of my college career and starting to adjust to work life. This is a period of self-reflection and an attempt to put everything I learned into perspective. During this period of my life, I have been constantly thinking and contemplating my future. I feel very anxious yet nervous during this time while I am adjusting to this new stage of my life. When I was in High school my life was very structured, because I could be very dependent on peoples help and I obviously still lived with my family. When I went to college, I had to break away from that feeling of dependency and start the adjusting to adulthood. In college there was more responsibility and I started to become more independent. This was a crucial step in my life but choosing a career is going to be an even bigger step. It is a bigger step because; I have to start structuring my career goals and family goal for the future. At this moment all I can think about is my career, and how I can I keep improving myself for work life.

When asked to describe myself, I am not solely a one-sided card, I am a decagon of collective interests and identities. I am: an eldest child, a sister, a Latina, a volunteer, a student, and a determined first-generation college graduate. Without one, I am no longer myself. Because of this, each side has molded me into the person I am today and as time goes by I will gain more sides to myself and continue to grow.

I believe being the youngest of two children has significantly shaped me into who I am and how I relate to people. I always had less responsibility than my brother and I am the more carefree, easy-going, and sociable sibling. Growing up I looked up to my brother and I still do. He is intelligent, hard working, and determined. I possess these qualities but not in the way my brother does. In third grade I was diagnosed with dyslexia, I had a difficult time with reading comprehension. I was able to read but I could not process nor understand the meaning of what I read. As a result, I relied heavily on tutors and learning centers in order to excel in school. Several years later I was diagnosed with ADD, I struggled with staying focused and processing what I was learning. I often felt discouraged and did not understand why I had such difficulties in learning things that seemed to come easily to others. This experience dramatically lowered my self confidence and how I viewed myself. It led me to question my abilities and I often felt timid. As I grew up and I began to experience new things, both bad and good, I consciously decided that I needed to shift how I viewed myself and the world. The book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People states that our paradigms, correct or incorrect, are the sources of our attitudes and behaviors, and ultimately our relationships with others (Covey, 1998). This shift in my thinking allowed me to value myself and my abilities and

I am about ten years old in elementary school. The foundations that will dictate the rest of our educational career are embedded here. We’re all beginning to become self aware, realising we are separate entities from the others around us, although we haven’t quite understood what that means. We have also begun to wonder what our private parts are meant for and why they come in two different sets. We’re told about these “changes” that we’ll undergo in the next years, how our bodies will change and how we’ll come to resemble our mothers and fathers. In a class of 30 you can pick out four of the girls whose bodies have already begun to morph into something entirely different. I’m not among them, but I wonder about what I’ll turn into when my body starts changing. I am thin and tall with very long hair, but I don’t feel very pretty and I’ve convinced myself that I am not human because if I was then I would like the other girls in my class. The adults around me tell me I’ll grow into myself which isn’t a concept ten-year-old me can fathom and so the adults probably just feel sorry for little ugly me.

I am Hoang Le Tri Cuong. I am a scholar who is studying at Saint Joseph's Institution (SJI).

When I came out to my mom I was feeling anxious and scared. She took it badly and scheduled an appointment for us to see a therapist to try and fix me . My family is catholic and believes who I am is a sin. I was misunderstood and judged for my actions and embracing who I was. I was still trying to process in a way to find happiness through all this. I wanted to express myself through fashion,hairstyle,sexual orientation. My community that identify myself with is the lgbt group. What connects me to this community is their diversity of sexual orientation,race/ethnicty, age. I believe that the community I am apart of encourages my individuality because I can count on support from this community with guidance. It has helped me to accept myself and to build confidence also to have a relationship with friends,family. For an example, My high school I went to encouraged me to be openly and diverse with the gay community. I developed friendships with people who supported and accepted me for who I am. Another example, I become closer with my cousin who was also gay. She helped me advice of how to communicate with my parents, to not be ashamed of the way I expressed myself, to stand up for myself.

“Teamwork makes the DREAM work” is the motto that Raquel Tellez, Service Chief II for the Community Counseling and Supportive Services a Prevention and Early Invention program within Behavioral Health Services (BHS), lives out every day with her team at the clinic and with her approach to client care.

I have lived in Unit 3879 for the past six months. For six months (possibly more because I have reason to believe the respondents followed me from my former residence in Maryland), the occupants (or their guests) of Unit 3893 and Unit 3881 are purposely being a private nuisance to me. They have been illegally monitoring and following me obsessively and in an intimidating manner. The respondents have also been shocking me with some form of technology, in a way that I deem tortious, offensive and demeaning.

Have you ever wondered what others may think of you or how you act with certain people? Within this paper , I’m going to explain how I see myself and how those around me see me as a person. This should be interesting in the sense that who I’ve asked to complete this with me are on two different spectrums of my life. I’ve asked someone who has known me since birth and someone who has known me for a short amount of time compared to the other. I’m going to expand on how my interpersonal communication skills are influenced by my personality traits.
