Personal Reflection Paper

In this paper I plan to briefly review what happened during the counseling demonstration. Next, I will discuss two basic counseling skills that I believe I used well, and one that I struggled with. Finally, I will discuss the next steps I will take in order to improve my counseling skills.

The clocks at LIH appeared to be online and communicating to the WDM. I began my check to start data collection that is when I realized the clocks are not operating normally. I tried to reboot, initialize, and test both clocks though it appeared the clocks were in the process of successfully completing the task, it failed. Within the last two hours, I managed to get both clocks to complete a data collection successfully. I contacted Kari, LIH Coordination Center and request to have a TSO swipe their badge on both clocks located at the Checkpoint and Break Room, respectively.

When I first learned about this assignment, I was a bit skeptical. Having to go to the same place every week and journal about my experience did not really appeal to me and seemed tedious. I was never really big into journaling, but after the first visit, I was hooked. After the first visit, I was amazed at how much of a relief it was to have nothing to worry about except the beauty that was right in front of me. Feeling the this sense of calmness wash over me was unbelievable.

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

It’s a day in mid-July right before my freshman year and marching band is about to start. My mom has the day off because in order for me to be in the band, I have to go to the doctors to get a sports physical. The nurse calls me to the back and tells me, “Okay Maryna, we’re going to weigh you and take your blood pressure.” I am super self-conscious about my weight especially when other people have to see the exact pounds, so hearing that and knowing I have to get on a scale in front of my mom and the nurse is the scariest thing I could ever hear. My heart is a train pounding down the tracks. As I took my shoes off to get on the scale I would think to myself, the nurse and doctor are going to talk shit about my weight, my mom is going to be so pissed about how much I’ve gained, What the hell is wrong with me? This is when I realized I have a poor self-esteem.

Emotions are feelings or thoughts that are hard to express to family or loved ones, the actual taught definition of the word emotions is “Emotions are processes shaped by physiology, perceptions and social experience.” (Lecture 3, Slide 3). When thinking about all the emotions an individual could have, two emotions that are difficult for me to express would be sadness and affection. When experiencing emotions from someone else it’s difficult for me to handle grief and anger, due to certain situation I personal had to deal with and situations I seen people around me dealing with. When looking back at my notes, lecture two, slide six has taught me how that there are major influences on us and that determines the relationships we have with

The individual that I am analyzing is myself , Hawa Conteh. I am a 22 years old female , who is from Gambia originally but has lived in the U.S. for majority of her life since 5 years old.

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.

Mrs. Nin encapsulated how I feel felt through the whole semester every time we were assigned a new project. From the first assignment to the argumentative paper, I feel like I have reflected on moments I already have lived through, but when writing about, I revisited those moments and really discussed the impact it had on either me or the world which led me to understand that specific moment in time better. Especially the argumentative paper because I learned something completely new— “poverty porn”— which was something I have grazed over years. This course, although, not easy has taught me to be more attentive to details but specially to details that seem insignificant but possibly can help me strengthen my argument from a different angle. Furthermore, the units made me reflect on the overall importance of a photograph and the impact it can have. I never spent time deliberating on what pictures really represents and how it affects people. I saw it in its simplest state of being a gateway to nostalgia, but alas I was wrong.

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 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.

My son, Ricky is now six years old and he has undergone many milestones and changes to be who he is today. All throughout Ricky’s life I have worked on his intelligence, morals, and social skills so he can become a valuable member of society. In regards to Ricky’s intelligence, I have worked on his ability to read and his sleep habits which correlate with his intelligence. In regards to Ricky’s morals, I have stressed the value of honesty and treating others kindly. Lastly, Ricky is practicing sociodramatic play and participating in recreational activities to gain social skills.

The person that I talked about for this paper was my grandfather, Richard Davidson. I wanted to talk to him because I didn’t know as much about his past and knew that he has strong opinions about the world and how it has changed. I also wanted to talk to him because I was interested in hearing how the world has changed from one of my older family members that grew up in the United States specifically as I was interested in seeing how much I could relate myself to what we talked about. There was also a perfect opportunity for me to talk to him for around an hour over thanksgiving break in person instead of over the phone. The main thing that we talked about was how he grew up going through World War II, and how much the world changed
