Professional Reflection

On 08/20/2017 at 1002 hours FTO Wheeler #4361 and I responded to St. Luke’s Hospital emergency room entrance, on 3555 Cesar Chavez St., regarding a women in a hospital gown trying to break the caller’s vehicle window with a brick. Officer Wheeler and I were in full police uniform driving a marked patrol unit when we responded.

NCSSM Residential and Online students must have a high level of maturity, whether living away from home or working daily without teachers or supervision. Please help us understand why you are mature enough to manage your own deadlines, schedule and academic interest.

Being professional in everything I do is very important to me. First and foremost, it is essential to be professional in the counseling aspect (AR –professional). However, I have found in order to be a respected, professional counselor, organization is crucial. The school counselor’s job description is so varied; he or she cannot do an effective job without this skill. We must constantly be on top of things because we work closely with so many people: students, teachers, parents, administrators, school-based mental health counselors, school secretaries, cafeteria workers, janitors, professionals outside of the school district such as DHS, other counselors and community leaders (AR –knowledge and Delivery). Fortunately, I have always been somewhat organized. However, I have learned that If I want to stay one step ahead of the game, I must manage work demands and prioritize my time to the fullest.

Overall, I believe that I appeared professional. For instance, I clearly communicated my thoughts/ideas and answered the questions thoughtfully. However, in my opinion, I appeared a bit nervous. Thus, I would certainly continue to practice my interviewing skills to ease my anxiety and nervousness and subsequently exude a more confident demeanor during interviews.

It has been a very interesting month in the Federal Aviation Administration. The month of June was full of excitement, experiences, meeting more and more people from different departments. I also did some researching in the FAA website to see where all the regulations are. I came across a very important committee it’s called the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee made up of industry and government officials. My role is very diverse in the Federal Aviation Administration. I am learning about the major issues that are affecting the airlines. How the Federal Aviation Administration goes about writing a rule is not as simple as it may seem. A person cannot just say lets write these rule and make it official. There

As a result of the traumatic injuries which I sustained on December 4, 2014, while working as a police officer and on duty, I am unable to perform my duties as a police officer in a safe and effective manner, without jeopardizing the safety of myself, my coworkers, as well as the public’s, which I took an oath to serve and protect.

Recollection of past experiences has proven to be one of the best teaching tools in existence. It is not just the reminiscing of the past that benefits us; it is the critical thinking that follows said reminiscing that is the most fruitful. Hindsight is 20/20, as they say, and much can be learned when reflecting on past situations. These observations, in turn, have the potential to guide our future decision making as well as our future actions. As I ponder the events and actions that have lead me up to this point, I have found that I have done much better at handling my workload and personal life simultaneously than I previously assumed I would. If all goes marvelous and I continue forward through this semester while maintaining my current work ethic, I postulate that I will finish this semester strong and continue to not only learn, but to fully integrate all of this fresh knowledge into my mind to be readily available for years to come.

I am very proud of myself for completing my master’s degree this past May. This is my highest educational accomplishment thus far. Also, I feel blessed for my job as a Spanish teacher at Jackson Elementary. Working in a Title I school district has given me the chance to develop new strategies and skills to meet of disadvantaged, at-risk students. Nonetheless, one of my aspirations is also to be an ESL teacher, so I can help English language learners and assist new immigrants with their acculturation process. Additionally, one of my goals is to obtain my Ph.D. with an emphasis in ESL so that I can be properly trained to assist my school district with programs to significantly improve the program for ELLs in my school

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 believe I can keep a cool head during difficult situations which allows me to think clearly and not worry. When my team sees this, they feel secure and are able to let go of the negative and keep moving forward. This leads to my team and I being proactive in starting new projects instead of worrying about something we couldn’t control.

During my first year of high school, I was held to a higher standard, than my previous

My involvement in research as an undergraduate has prepared me to overcome any challenge that I will inevitably encounter. In the lab, I stepped out of my comfort zone, and as a result I learned a lot, both academically and personally. I learned to take things in stride; to work step-by-step, little-by-little. When I read and write in smaller increments, rather than trying tackle it all at once, not only am I less stressed out and anxious, my understanding of the material improves greatly as well. Additionally, my critical thinking skills have greatly increased, not only as a result of aiding in the design and execution of various research projects, but because of the numerous research articles I have read. With each article, I had to

This week, I meet with my study group two times this week and we did a study guide for everyone to study from. Also, this week I frequently study each day and went to the library to study. I am little bit nervous about this test, because the information is so much, and I am having problem concentrating on the major and key concepts, however, I will have realized and focused on my test. This week, I visited Sandy and she showed me few tips how to tackle nclex question. Also, this week I hired a private tutor to help prepared for the test. Furthermore, this weekend, I will not work and eradicate going out with my friend and family. My goal for this week is to achieve 94 or above on this test. I went online this week and did several Nclex questions on quiz let and did a lot of practice test.

Week two and three were very interesting and eventful. The most impressive part was learning to use and work with the SCM. The system is a state of art and navigating through the system was educative. Any information you need on patient to help you complete your care effectively is precisely, focused and clearly documented in SCM. However, the second week I was still a little nervous and I chose to work with a client with less complex issues but curious enough to want to learn about heart sounds in a client with arterial fibrillation. I also wanted to practice taking pulses manually. My client was very cooperative, optimistic and determined to leave the hospital and go home. At the end of my shift I was so sure that he would be discharged the following day; but to my surprise; when I came back the following day, his countenance had changed, he spoke less and seemed uninterested in everything around him. During my six hours, my client had been moved at least four times from room to hallway then another room and back in the hallway before I finished my shift. This made me really sad and I felt helpless I could not help but wonder if this was the reasoning he was unhappy. I did my best to make him feel cared for and provided as much comfort as I could.

Throughout my writings in English 2201, I have become a better writer, where my work in both the Category 1 and 2 project shows my abilities. Each category was designed to help and develop my writing and I believe it did that. There were many process that took place while writing and I think it allowed for much improvement. Each part of my writing process played an effective part in having an overall successful paper during the semester.
