Reflection About Self Reflection

To tackle my goals this semester I needed to have a clear focus. Tackling my goals this semester has made me a stronger dancer. From the start of the semester, I have wanted to work on the continuation of my goals from the previous semester. In each class I have worked on finding ways to work on my goals anyway possible. Reflecting my work from the beginning of the semester until now, I have seen myself wanting to be more dedicated to my goals each class. The goals I had for the semester helped me to progress and I continue to work on the ones I struggle with. By having a strong work ethic and clear focus I have had a chance to work on all my main goals throughout the semester: musicality, fluidity, tension, staying lifted in the core, and confidence.

I got a 39 within UCLA Loneliness Scale on the textbook and I was surprised with my result because I did not know that my score has been this higher compared to other men scale which is average of 32. I did not feel any anxiety and fear when I took this scale in the textbook because I feel very confident with myself and relationships with other people. I always trying to respect other people during the conversations nor hanging out with them during a free time because they were always respect me as well all the time. Furthermore, I always listen to other people who needs advice because I want to help them with my experiences. Therefore, they could think that other people have hard times just like anybody else and it could happen to be anytime.

I am currently a student at the University of Texas at San Antonio for almost a whole semester now. I came to this school straight out of high school, not knowing what I was getting myself into. During my high school years, I was good at every subject except my writing class. Coming to UTSA, I knew I was going to struggle in my writing class, but that didn’t discourage me from not trying my best in the course. Going through the English program, I realized that I have some strengths and weaknesses in the class, and it encouraged me to do better. The essays I have written for this class demonstrate that I have developed a strong thesis, organization skills, and detail; however, I still need to improve on grammar, keeping the POV, and citing.

In 2013, an estimated 24.6 million Americans aged twelve or older (9.4% of the population) had used an illicit drug in the past month (NIDA, 2015). In 2016, about 3.6 million adults aged 18 or older received any substance use treatment in the past year, representing 1.5 percent of adults (SAMHSA, 2017). These numbers are not even taking into account any type of behavior addiction such as shopping, gambling, social media, etc. Strong of these numbers, as counselors we can see the importance to gain knowledge about drug and behavior addiction and its process. In order to have a better understanding of the process of change, we have been assigned to abstain from a substance or a behavior for a period of 15 weeks and to reflect about it.

Self-reflection is one of the most challenging aspects of writing. Rationalizing why I deserve the Top Graduate award is a humbling task, but I feel as though I can present a strong argument. Consequently, the goal of this essay is to inform the board of my journey at Park University. My selection to compete for this award has been an honor in itself, and will do my best to give you my credentials. However, before I begin, I will lay out a concise background on myself to help you understand a little about who I am.

My insights on cultures in the United States have changed quite a bit as a result of my studies this semester. I have a much greater understanding of ethnic groups, gender and sexuality issues, religions, and poverty. My new knowledge base will help me as I become more culturally competent and, therefore, more responsive to my future clients. I am anxious to incorporate my new understandings into my classroom and hopefully in a position as a school counselor.

This past semester in Modern III, I have found different things about myself in terms of shifting my movement vocabulary into something new. The somatic work in the beginning of class has allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and experience something new. Imagination has been a key factor in this. Three different goals that I have been working on this past semester have been keeping my abdominals engaged, my ribs to soften always, and allowing my transitions to flow smoother. As I mentioned in my midterm self-evaluation, I believe that I have come a far way from the beginning in the semester until now.

I enjoyed writing this essay. I feel like this is the first time I ever formatted as this. It was interesting to use a block quotation and close read and analyzed each part relating to each part of the story. I could sum up the whole meaning behind the conclusion so it was neat. I don’t mind what I will get on this essay because I worked my hardest to accomplish this essay. Also, this is the first time I tried this method so I am also anxious how well I will do.

According to the Keirsey Temperament workbook, my combined values make me a guardian. My knowledge, experience, dedication, authority, and reliability are strengths that make me a great leader. I choose to manage the recycling yard, public, and staff like any great manager would. In order for me to manage efficiently, I would like to improve a few things. I find myself to be very easy going, abrupt, and shy, and have come to realize these attributes hold me back. Aside from the areas that need improvement, the effectiveness of my strengths creates a healthy and enjoyable work environment.

Wherever there are people, there will be problems. Often times, the real problem lies underneath a myriad of more complicated issues. Only by discovering the actual dilemma, can an individual address the pervading issue. Through an appealing narrative of a person facing real life difficulties in his personal and professional life, The Arbinger Institute bring to light the undeniable way people betray their true self and undermine their own success. Through personal self-examination and application of the principles presented in this book, I have been able to make the necessary adjustments to view others appropriately.

I have been asked to write this essay as part of my assessment for the ILM Level 3 course that I am undertaking. This essay is to show my understanding of Leadership; the different styles of leadership and the effects it can have on staff. I am currently not supervising any members of staff but I aim to show how I have led in different situations. I am completing this course for my own personal development, as I would like to progress further in my career, now that my children are older.

The ingredients that form the foundation for human development, according to the relational developmental systems paradigm, are positive relationships with the divine, others and the world. Using the Christian doctrine of the Trinity as a model for God's ideal plan for human nature, this model integrates theological principles with developmental science and psychology to demonstrate a framework of human development that encompasses the many stages of life from infancy to late adulthood.

During the duration of this course and the numerous discussions initiated in lecture, I have been able to utilize the concepts proposed in class to further my intellectual development and thinking. While many concepts have been discussed in class, the topic of secondary witnessing was the one I could relate to the most. Just like Art Spiegelman, I am a second-generation witness to my father's life post-Vietnam war. I am a part of the generation that will continue to transmit my father's war stories to future generations. I am witness to the Vietnam war in terms of how it affected survivors, such as my father, even though I didn't live through that experience myself, tying in the concept of post-memory as well.

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.
