Reflection And Reflection Paper

August 28, 2017, the first day of my fresh and scary journey. My first day as a Colorado Christian University student, English composition online is my first class. Part of me is ready; part of me is ready to throw in the towel. I hadn’t even had a chance to turn a paper in, and the first assignment, a 5-paragraph essay had me thinking “you’re a crazy person for going back to school, it’s been 11 years since you had to write a paper. What are you thinking?” I told myself its 5 weeks (later I would realize actually 6) you can make it 5 weeks! Although I knew writing wouldn’t be my easiest subject, I knew I had to try my hardest. This class was condensed and hard, but effective and informative; I’ve learned so much, felt all sorts of emotions and know I can apply what I’ve learned in classes to come.

When I first decided to expand my education, it had been so long since I had been to school, and I was very hesitant. I talked at length about my decision with my husband and with his encouragement, decided to enroll but still was not quite sure which degree program to enroll in. I knew that this was something that I had always wanted to do since I obtained my Associates Degree in Nursing, but I did not have the courage, nor did I want to give up the time with my family and children. I second guessed my abilities and my knowledge because it had been so long since I had been in college. Now that my children are about to graduate high school and

On September 6, 2017, I were documented for an incident that involved a University Housing policy violation. I was charged with violating the University Housing Alcohol 1.2 policy. With my violation, came consequences. I met with The Residence Conduct Coordinator to discuss my actions and came to the conclusion that I would have to schedule a meeting with The Campus Alcohol and Drug Education Center (CADEC) and with that, a reflection paper.

Leaders are most effective when they are able to attain cooperation among all the members and make them feel the purpose of doing their tasks. It is important for them to research on the characteristics of high performance teams so that they also have it as their standards in leading their people. Some of the important activities that a leader should be good at are persuading, communicating, and motivating people (Tracy, n.d.).

I choose the following questions or reflections to research for my second paper in Theology 104. The first question that I chose to reflect on was, did Jesus need to be born of virgin? Yes Jesus, in my opinion, did need to be born of a virgin. If Jesus had not been born of a virgin, we possibly would have not known of his existence because in the Bible it say’s Jesus was born of a virgin this makes him a God-Man, he is both a son of man and the son of God. If God had been born only as a son of God Jesus would not been able to do the things that he has done.

Over the course of the semester, I have been fortunate enough to work with a student who is having difficulties when it comes to reading. My student does not have difficulties when it comes to hearing a word, but rather when he sees a word. My student has definitely benefited from one on one work with me as well as the additional help he’s getting from the reading specialist during their WIN (what I need) time. My student does not like to read because he knows that he is struggling and he is embarrassed about it. When my student goes to his WIN time, he does really well because the instruction is at his level and there are only two other students who are also on the same level there as well. Besides the current intervention, programs I would recommend are Direct Instruction: Reading Mastery, Letter Spacing, Wilson Reading System and the Lindamood program (LiPS).

I have great interaction with individuals from all levels of society, education and backgrounds. In the past, I have demonstrated that I can deal with highly sensitive issues (hostile and angry individuals). For example, my co-workers regularly request my assistance dealing with the public, and I help them prevent the situation from escalating to a public relations issue. Recently a claimant came to the office extremely upset. She wanted to file an Appeal because she disagreed on how the Processing Center (PC) calculated her back payment and issued the SSA-1099 with the incorrect information. After reviewing the actions taken by PC and her records, I determined that the letter sent by PC did not contain all the necessary information; it did not include the Worker’s Compensation and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) offset. I explained to her how the offset was applied and sent a request to PC for a detailed letter with the offset information. She understood and was relieved that I clarified how her benefits were calculated and decided not to appeal the decision. I also have the tact and sensitivity to deal with individuals from different social backgrounds and education levels. I am also fluent in Spanish and English, which gives me the opportunity to deal effectively with a wide variety of individuals, organizations and groups from different cultural backgrounds and nationalities. I was referred a claim that was previously denied because the claimant didn’t

“You will need surgery as soon as possible,” the physician told me. The disbelief settled in as the reality of my condition became concrete. Many patients go through grieving stages upon receiving bad news, and it is up to the physician to deliver it. Telling me that I have a burst appendix that has festered for a week is not what I would have liked to hear, but I knew that I was in good hands. Convincing the patient that they are in the best care should be the goal of all physicians. In order to do this, I will to show genuine sympathy, have the critical thinking skills needed to deliver appropriate judgments, and have a clear passion and dedication for the profession.

For me, moving to a college campus was a lot like moving to a different country. No one looked like me. Coming from a community with a large Hispanic population, I was accustomed to seeing people who were darker like me, who were shorter like me, who were darker haired like me, but in college I found myself surrounded by the complete opposite. Everyone was lighter, taller, and had lighter hair. Everyone fit in with everyone else, but I seemed to stick out like a sore thumb. The foreignness did not end there. Once I started interacting with my new community, I realized that we did not even speak the same language. Conversations revealed that everyone spoke in this other language that consisted of acronyms and Greek letters. A language I clearly did not understand. The longer I remained in these conversations struggling to keep up, the more apparent it became that this information did not come from the orientation session the university made all freshman attend. Rather, this information came from a different source: my classmates’ parents. Unlike me, my classmates came from households where getting a college education was the norm, not the exception. Their parents sent them off to college with a cheat sheet while all my parents had to offer me was a good luck card. Eventually, I was able to create my own cheat sheet and today, I can proudly say that I am fluent in college-speak.

I was given this case file in class but I have no idea what to do with this. I was partnered up with my table mate Katie. “I bet you all are wondering why you have this case. Well you are going to determine if your defendant should be guilt or innocence. And on monday we will go over your decisions. We will later write a paper in class on your decision. Any questions?”, Mr. Myers says. I see Kian raises his hand in the corner of my eye. “Seems pretty easy she was hang so she’s guilty.”. The class chuckles at his comment. I watch the Mr. Meyers take a deep breath and walk over. He takes the paper. “Explain to me the evidence you gained to make that decision.”. Kian swallows hard and looks away. “Exactly. Now make sure you explain your reasoning. Have a good weekend.”

Scrunch a piece of paper. Now try to smoothen the mess out. Does the sheet of paper return back to its original state? I’m sure it doesn’t. “Breaking someone’s trust is like crumpling up a perfect piece of paper. You can smooth it over, but it’s never going to be the same again,” said by an unknown author. In the year of 2015, my family hit its breaking point. An event no one expected, however, I foresaw. I knew at that moment everything from that point on would be different.

As I move through the society of today, it becomes increasingly evident that I face a plethora of stereotypes daily, whether those who burden me with them realize it or not. A majority of these come simply from my race; as an Asian Indian, I am automatically considered by nearly all to be intelligent. Yet a greater number stereotypes come from my disposition; due to of the amount of AP classes that I am taking, many believe that I am organized and must devote all of my time to school, but few of these actually ring true.

“One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always be true to yourself and never let what somebody says distract you from your goals.” Stated once by former First Lady, Michelle Obama. The leading female exemplar emphasized how knowledge was essential for development along with advocating for higher institution erudition. Education prompted me to opportunities, exposure to modern situations, and encounters with people from various ethnic backgrounds and perspectives. Throughout my journey of education, I felt unfortunate to receive certain aspects of my education due to being teased by other children, nevertheless fortunate to acquire my current education due to the content received where I am able to contribute to my community where I confronted challenges that expanded my skill and knowledge for the future opportunities essential to assisting the community with materials obtained by TASS.

On September 18th, 2017 my team member and I had a meeting with one of our clients. The client who is pro se came to the clinic for help with his filing documents, which he needs for his upcoming divorce hearing on December 12th, 2017. Since our client is the respondent in the case is very important that we have the documents to which he must respond to ready and filed before 60 days of the date of the trial. Our meeting was held so we could give our client the finished documents, which we had spent a week preparing. During our meeting our Supervising Attorney, Professor Harmon had to view the documents to ensure they were drafted properly and that we had everything we needed for our client. A couple days before we were to meet with our client we had a meeting with the professor to view our documents, after the meeting we went to work on making the recommended changes and thought that we were finished, however during our meeting with the client Professor Harmon did a final view of the documents and there were still a few mistakes in our documents that we did not catch, like I main bulleted points changing from numbers to letters and how our last page of two documents were two different fonts from the rest of the documents. Although had these errors been identified before our meeting with our client the mistakes would not have been a big deal since they were easily fixable and would not require much time, the mistakes were a big deal because

According to care.com, over two million children have a parent who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan. At the beginning of third grade, my father received a letter from the government stating that he would be deployed for almost a year in Iraq. Nine years later, it registers that this experience helped me grow in many ways. Not only does it prove out that what he did and what he went through made and continues to make such a large impact on me, but his being gone encouraged me to value the time I have together with people. Once you don’t have the opportunity to be it affects you in countless ways. Such a big event in my life showed me how much I rely on him as a father, a friend, and a teacher, but it also showed me that when things are difficult I am able to handle them independently.
