Personal Self 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.

It is virtually impossible for a team to be truly effective or successful without the individual personalities that make up the team taking the time to develop the best way to work together. Our textbook defines organizational behavior (OB) as “a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups, and structure have on behavior within organizations, for the purpose of applying such knowledge toward improving an organization’s effectiveness” (Robbins & Judge, p. 10). The benefits and deficiencies of personality that each person possesses should all be determined and strategically positioned to best suit the team or task at hand. As stated by Dr. Kahlib J. Fischer, “So it is important that you understand your own behavioral tendencies and the behavioral tendencies of other individuals if you really want to understand how organizations behave and how they should behave according to God’s purpose” (Fisher, 2006). For the purposes of this paper, we will take an in depth look at my personal inventory assessment results and provide recommendations for growth in corporate, spiritual and personal areas.

There is something very important an individual may develop after graduating high school, or for some, even after college. A life skill that is required sometime before someone is put into the “real world”, which is what most teachers would label as the start to earning one’s own income and live on their own. For most people, they may acquire this skill after graduating college or high school. For me, I developed this valued skill at a young age. In my household, I grew up with one brother in high school, a father, and a mother, a normal family. What’s different is that I grew up in an Asian family. In fact, I was the only one to be born in the United States in my family tree. What that means is that I have had to gain responsibilities at a very young age, one might say too young. My past is represented by many negative effects due to my ethnicity, but now I have found that the repercussions has caused me to develop everything I need to successful later in my life.

Throughout this year in college an important challenge I faced was getting through the two semesters of Physics that I needed to fulfill my pre-med requirements. Having last taken physics freshman year in high school and only covered very elementary material, I realized very early on in my first semester that this was going to be my most difficult and time-consuming class. As a result of lacking a solid background of physics from high school, I began going to office hours two to three times a week and staying on top of the material. I then began to give myself more than enough time to complete assignments so that I could go to office hours and conceptually understand difficult concepts such as Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, electrical circuits,

Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.

This paper reviews the in-depth findings of my personality assessment by focusing on certain areas of my personality and how these findings correlate to workplace behavior and preference. I will also review what I have learned about myself and organizational behavior that will allow me to better myself as a coworker and an employee. By discussing the information, I will be able to assess my strengths and weaknesses and evaluate how the Holy Sprit has worked in my life to help turn those weaknesses into strengths. Consequently, this information will allow me to see myself on a deeper level and evaluate my decisions in a unique way to determine how they may affect my coworkers and my career.

Independent: Ever since I was a small child, I loved independence; I was always the child who refused to hold my parents’ hands in crowded plazas and adored exploring foreign locations alone. The moment my mom announced that my brother and I would have to stay at home alone while she worked at her part-time job, I immediately rejoiced over the new bestowment of responsibilities. By the time I entered 10th grade, I had more freedom than a lot of my friends in terms of curfew and financial spending, because I was independent enough to finish all chores and achieve my academic goals most of the times. Although there are times in which I burden myself with too much goals to achieve alone, I am constantly striving to find a healthy balance

It’s 11:50 PM the night before a social studies project is due. I have just finished gluing down the last clean cut and perfectly centered piece of paper to my project board. I stand back and look at my work; everything is neat to my liking and the craftsmanship is impeccable. As usual, I probably spent triple the amount of time as my classmates to complete this project, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Oh, and I’m in 5th grade.

This self-assessment and Reflection Paper is about the questions on page 109. The main arguments are ontological, teleological, and ontological.

Fall 2015 semester was the first time in several years that I drove. I had serve anxiety surrounding driving as a result of a car accident. This affected my attendance greatly as I either missed classes from not being able to leave my driveway or was late from pulling over to calm myself down. I did not want my issues with driving to adversely affect others on the road, hence, I had to rely on family and friends to drive me when they could.

Invidious comparison and vicarious traumatization are two things that most people will experience in their lifetime. I know for I personally have experienced both during my 28 years of life. Invidious comparison and vicarious traumatization can both be damaging to yourself and other people involved. That is why I'd like to take the time to explain a few important topics on invidious comparison and vicarious traumatization, such as; how to stop invidious comparison, identify strategies that I currently use to avoid vicarious traumatization in my personal life, how those strategies will help me avoid vicarious traumatization as a human service worker and what strategies I could develop to avoid it as well.

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

Self-awareness can be beneficial to the structure of an individual’s personal growth, their relationship with others, and a fulfilling career within an organization. The multiple self-assessments located on the McGraw-Hill Connect website provides a series of questions related to numerous topics throughout the textbook that will permit me to know more about myself. This report will identify unique personality tools that will measure the extent of my character to aid in self-growth and possibly expand my career performance within my organization. And after answering these questions, as honestly as possible, I have gained further insight as to who I have become as an individual, how my personality affects my relationships with my

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.
