Reflecting Ordinary People

Interpersonal communication can be defined a number of ways, but it is usually described as communication between or among connected persons, or those in a close relationship. Over the past few weeks, I have really been able to examine my own interpersonal communication between and among the people I am connected to or have close relationships with. Prior to this course, I felt my interpersonal communication skills were above average and very effective. However, I have discovered there are many ways I can improve my interpersonal communications and relationships with others. Through the exercises conducted during this course I have realized that I need to work on my effective listening, perception of others and how my nonverbal cues can cause

The acceptance into the Governor’s Honor Program is my ultimate goal for the 2015-2016 school year.

In my lifetime, I have moved across a state, moved across the country, and gone to eight

Pawns are unusual because they move and capture in different ways: they move forward, but capture diagonally. Pawns can only move forward one square at a time, except for their very first move where they can move forward two squares. Pawns can only capture one square diagonally in front of them. They can never move or capture backwards. If there is another piece directly in front of a pawn he cannot move past or capture that

I am starting my sixth semester at San Antonio College. I am homeless and struggling with the reality that my choice to live on the streets is coming to an end because of the consequences of the decisions I had made that resulted with scars that were left on my face that could have been prevented and most defiantly can be prevented in the future.

In my most recent session of my college skills class, a little under a week ago, I took an assessment called ACT engage. Within seconds of submitting the test, it gave results that calculated my personal, behavioral and academic skills. These skills being measured are ones that are a necessity to a successful college education, such as: study skills, commitment, social connection, goal striving, communication, discipline, steadiness and academic self-confidence. These results are displayed in a graph, followed by written explanations of each skill and how much I am involved in each skill.

The church did things like go out to homeless shelters to feed the homeless, give out clothes and plenty of more things for the community. So I got involved when I found out some of my church members were going out to hand out bags to the homeless. I remember waking up first thing in the morning, the summer of my sophomore year and making my way to the church, making over 70 bags that were filled with personal hygiene items, food, clothes and gift cards. I helped them pack the bags in the church van and found a seat on the van; words couldn’t even explain how I was feeling! Nervous but excited at the same time, being the first time I ever experienced community service. Next thing you know the car comes to a complete stop to an unknown place I never seen before, the only thing I knew was that we were definitely under an old building, with a almond shape and horrible smell.

In this paper, we were required to write four pages about changes a peer could make to their paper. As I already struggle with finding changes in general this was challenging for me, yet I worked my hardest to try and find any high and low order concerns that I could for them. In the end this paper is all about helping push another person along and getting them to the place that they wish to be. As I looked through the paper over and over, I could hardly find any mistakes that needed to be fixed due to my skill level in this subject. After some time and little hard work, I began to pick up bits and pieces that could be changed within the paper. I made the notes that I felt necessary and worked to try and make the paper that best that I could for them.

Recently I did the volunteer service in the homeless shelters that Located in St. Francis House. I met many people there from both genders. From my conversation with them, I understood that they don't have any place to live just those shelters. No food or bed just the street. They are suffering from Hot weather in the summer and cold during the winter because those shelters are not enough for all of them, so some nights they sleep in the street.

The novel states that pawns can change the outcome of a match. Even with small pieces victory can be achieved. Any study of chess reflects on a character studies of its players. Those who wish to advance in chess fall back on research and games played by their predecessors.

Reflection is considered as a vital element of professional practice as it precedes to insight and then subsequent change in practice. The hypothesis of reflection is not new as it can be tracked as far back in the 5th century by the influential Greek philosopher, Socrates and to the 1930s primarily focusing on John Dewey’s work. Dewey is one of the founders of learning from experience. He theorised reflection as ‘active, persistent and careful consideration’ (Dewey, 1933) initiated by a specific situation which was opposing, perplexing or uncertain. One of its most common use today is coming up with a thought, an idea, or opinion made or an observation made as a result of concentration, suggesting in essence a way of thinking in which one looks back and meditate upon (Agnes, 2004).

The claimant’s motor movement appears appropriate, congruent with his visual coordination. He appears to exhibit no noticeable physical discomfort during the evaluation. His manual dexterity appears normal and there were no signs of tics or tremors. He appears to display mental fatigue.

The Research in Human Relations course guided me in the application mindset of my studies. Mindfully being able to break down information, from the statement of the issue to the analysis of data, to even an appropriate outcome that is beneficial to a particular field of study, is what this course promotes. Don Miguel Ruiz states in his novel, The Four Agreements, that we make different types of assumptions simply because we do not have the courage to ask questions (Ruiz & Mills, 1997, p. 68). This course enables students to not only want to ask questions but also build on their incoming knowledge with the tools to support giving back to the field and community. I long to give back through the power of research in my given field, and upon taking this course I feel empowered to do just that. The Research in HR course set a solid foundation for APA style writing, which has not only benefitted me through graduate school but will continue to benefit me into my career path. Today, APA Style sets the bar that is well respected in journals, books, and electronic databases (American Psychological Association, 2012). I found this course beneficial because much like each of my other courses, it further refined my skillsets for my pursuit of clinical administrative work and research on autism and speech in the field of speech-language pathology. Through each assignment, I became even more critical of the research I consumed. Being able to produce solid sources to help push my field of
