Reflection About Myself

Hays (2008) discussed privilege and biases based on culture and how these privileges and biases can affect a therapist’s work. Having a healthy understanding of self-identity can help understand the role of privilege and biases. In order to help self-reflect, Hays (2008) presented the ADDRESSING model which includes age, disability (born with), disability (acquired), religion, ethnicity/race, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, indigenous status, nationality, and gender. This ADDRESSING model will be applied in this paper.

What personal and professional strengths do you have that you can use and build on to create helping relationships with your clients?

The areas of productiveness in this session for me included the paraphrasing and minimal encouragers. Throughout this session I felt that my paraphrasing was clear and concise. It allowed the client to think about what he had said, while being able to provide me with feedback and allowed for the conversation to flow naturally.

The essay demonstrates your ability to write clearly and concisely on a selected topic and helps you distinguish yourself in your own voice. What do you want the readers of your application to know about you apart from courses, grades, and test scores? Choose the option that best helps you answer that question and write an essay of no more than 650 words, using the prompt to inspire and structure your response. Remember: 650 words is your limit, not your goal. Use the full range if you need it, but don't feel obligated to do so. (The application won't accept a response shorter than 250 words.)

As I started to improve, I felt that imagery and increase arousal was having a large positive impact on my performance. Therefore, it led me to have more motivation to keep having the imagery sessions. However, this time I wanted to try imagery from an external perspective, where I visualize myself from the perspective of someone else. It makes it easier to see the technique and the form of weightlifting. Like the previous sessions, I wanted to psych myself up and be cognitive specific by imaging the certain motor skills to get a feel for the movement. In my mind, I pictured myself as an outsider who is watching someone bench press. From my perspective, I could see the person’s overall form and body movement as they lifted the barbell up

I always thought of myself as a fairly talented writer. Throughout the years from elementary school to highschool I have always found it easy to write. With that in mind, I came into this class thinking that I was gonna float right through it and it would be easy. I never had though about how much more there was to learn and how much I could improve my writing. I have learned many valuable skills such as researching credible information, using critical thinking and rhetorical strategy, writing mechanics, analyzing and disproving counter-arguments, addressing specific audiences, and using peer editing in my writing process. With my progress throughout this class, I have developed into an exceptional writer which will

As a learner in business school, I have steadily found the appropriate way to learn about master of commerce and even in my future career after signing up for the course in MGMT-5050, that is, throughout self-regulatory processes. According to Zimmerman (2000), self-regulation is a cyclical process and it indicates individual’s ability to formulate thought, feeling and actions that result in gaining individual’s goals utilizing some information that an individual has acquired from previous performances. Since I was a science student in my Bachelor degree, it is completely difficult for me to study in a new area in Master of commerce and I was not sure how to study. However, throughout taking compulsory course in MGMT-5050 I have learned the business-based case analysis from others successes and failures in CAWs and the approaches to learn in business from the perspective of teams and competitive advantages in SDWs. I would like to use Zimmerman (2002) perspective as references and my experiences combine with Gibbs’ reflective cycle (1988) or Johari Window (Luft & Ingham 1955) to demonstrate an informed view of my learning to date and my development for the future.

Personally, I love being involved in service learning projects, and when I learned we were working with kids, I was very excited. A lot can come out of a two and half hour project, both rewarding and something to grow on. Unfortunately, I could not be in attendance for the duration of the event due to a conflicting work schedule. This was the biggest conflict I saw for myself. I had to choose whether to go into work, or to stay and fully participate in our activities. Another conflict that I happened to run into was what to do about returning the balls back to the intramurals department. Since I volunteered to receive and return the balls, I had to decide what to do with them after I had to leave. Austin willingly agreed to return them for me. I do believe that experiencing these conflicts and participating in a project like this we were able to see ethics applied, rather than understanding them within a reading or self-written paper. I did not expect there to be any surprises. I figured if we had the semester to plan how the day would go, the event would run very smoothly. Of course, there will be obstacles, but for the most part, it turned out how I imagined.

Communication is the delivery of information between multiple groups, it is very necessary to have effective communications in the workplace because everything people do at work results from communication. Work efficiency and productivity is the key to success in the workplace, they can enhance the understanding between employer and employee, and high efficiency and productivity come from effective communication.

Reflection is not only about pondering over past event and related to it emotions, actions, thoughts, or approaches, but also about interpreting everything for the purpose of learning from it and understanding it better. Reflection shall help individuals to challenge themselves, their behaviors, and feelings. The aim is to be more critical about own experiences and own persona, to think about person’s strong and weak sides (Paterson, & Chapman, 2013). To reflect on my feelings, thoughts and work during this module, the Gibbs’s (1998) Reflective cycle helped me a lot. It is made of 6 stages: Description – ‘What happened?’, Feelings – ‘What was I feeling and thinking?’, Evaluation – ‘What was good and bad about the experience?’, Analysis –

Throughout the semester we have gone over a lot of topics ranging from our short and long-term goals to our desired major and career choices. I have always had a general idea of what I wanted to do, and the only thing that has ever interested me was working with animals. But when I graduated high school I wasn’t completely certain if I wanted to major in veterinary medicine, so I came to school as an exploratory studies student. And when I first attended this class I didn’t think that it would really help me make up my mind and that it was filling up a foundational studies class that I could be taking. But throughout the semester I’ve come to find out that this class has helped me a lot more than I thought it would.

Throughout the semester, the most significant learning outcome that I acquired the most knowledge of it, was to undertake a self-regulated project to address my own linguistic need by myself. I learned to focus on one specific project, that I believed that it could have been helpful for me to practice and improve my English writing. Since the start of the semester, I was always understanding well the instructions given to us for all our tasks, such as the Personal Project Design or Annotated Bibliography.

For the course of my break I was let down a little by some companies I wanted to volunteer with. Instead I helped my family because of the position I was in during the holidays. Even though I didn’t help a wide scale of people in a community; I helped my family members. Even the smallest deeds I did for example, making sure my grandmother buys healthier foods and accompanying my dad to places to do errands made them happy. I made them happy regardless of me not being there for them throughout the year. I didn’t volunteer for the break, but I did give gifts. Spending time with my grandmother examples, encouraging her not to give up so soon, enforcing her to cook better foods, and change her diet. I helped my dad out by cleaning up, and

The time was 7:15a.m. and the day was Wednesday, September 13th, 2017. Sitting at home on my old, worn out, brown reclining chair, I casually sipped my morning cup of coffee pondering my strange and unfamiliar dream from the night before.[Parallelism & Balance] It left me with a feeling of curiosity at its similarities with reality, but then I reminded myself it was just a dream and that no one really meets god for he doesn’t exist.[Self Reflection] As I sat reading The Washington Post from my apartment on the sixth floor of a highrise in New York City, New York, my mind slowly strayed towards work.[Where] After looking at my physics phd diploma, I began fretting the long day I have ahead of myself at a secret lab in New York, where the old manhattan project took place; which was being repurposed for my research.[Irony] To alleviate the dread and despair I now contained, I came upon the decision to go on a walk before work.[Balance]

During Summer 2014, I took my first college course “Math 10: Elementary Algebra” also known as remedial math. However, ever since I can remember, I have always liked math and this seems to contradict how I started my college career. My interest in math goes back to second grade when I received a 100 on my report card. In Bangladesh, grades are believed to reflect one’s identity, so I took a greater interest in the subject thereafter. After moving to New York, I continued to enjoy the subject though the language barrier prevented me from fully understanding the “universal language.” My passion for math waned, yet never fully extinguished, until eleventh grade when I took geometry. I was fortunate to have a teacher who made the class more enjoyable than any math I have experienced before. It was then I entertained the idea of becoming a high school math teacher in the future.
