Reflection Of Learning In My Life

At five years old, I remember the catastrophic event that Louisianans know as Hurricane Katrina. Since I was so young at the time, it was important to get a perspective from my mom who had a better understanding of what was going on. As we talked, it opened my eyes to the struggles my family faced during that pause in time. Before the hurricane hit, my mom decided that it would be best for my siblings and me to stay in town with our great-grandmother who was because of her age. My aunt who had just graduated high school stayed with us as well. As the storm progressed, my mom witnessed trees fall from heavy winds and an electrical box spark fire. She mentioned the fear of not knowing what to expect was prevalent throughout the days of Katrina.

Within Sports Coaching Literature, it has been established that reflection is a generic term for intellectual and effective activities, in which individuals examine their experiences, in order to develop new understanding and intrapersonal appreciation (Knowles, et al., 2006). Research in this field has advocated reflective practice as an approach to professional development which positively impacts coaching effectiveness (Cropley, et al., 2012). This reflective report shall discuss, analyse and evaluate my own personal development throughout my first semester spent studying at UCFB, in order to develop new understanding and intrapersonal appreciation, and help explore my decisions and experiences, increasing understanding of

Throughout my life I have encountered numerous situations where I have learned important life lessons. While many of these lessons are cliche, each of them have truthfully made in impact on the way I live my life. Among all the lessons I have learned, seeing the positivity in everything is undoubtedly the most important to my life.

As far as I am concerned I learned the biggest lesson of the 21st century. A lesson that will polarized our next years in an unpredictable way. ‘Learning’ is not confined in a building, university, nor in a physical object like a book. Learning takes place inside us along the path. This is for me lifelong learning.this was my path to ‘unlearn’ an ability within

There is a lesson in every situation no matter if you choose to accept it or not. A lesson can sometime guide you in the right path that is needed in

Life lessons. What are they really? People of all ages and times have different definitions of them. For a young girl, something so simple as smiling at a stranger in a coffee shop and having them smile back can be the best lesson she ever learns. Readers in our age crave to learn something beyond their time and that will change their lives forever.

Life lessons can be found in stories that are written, for example “The Yellow Wallpaper” written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The main characters in this story is the the wife and husband. A little bit of background knowledge on this story, a young married woman and who is a new mother is being treated for depression. The story takes place around the late 1800s and the common treatment for depression was isolation and the story is about how she reacts to the treatment. Three lessons learned from this story is that one, isolation and being alone almost never helps someone go through depression well. Second, the person who is going through a struggle, often knows what is best for them. Last but not least the third lesson would be society should not

Reflection is thought by linking recent experience with early experience to promote more complex and interrelated mental models or patterns. The thinking involves looking for commonalities, differences, and interrelations beyond their superficial elements. The goal is to develop higher order thinking skills.

At seventeen years old, I have experienced more than most people at that age or even in their lifetime. My unique life experiences have made me the person I’ve become and caused me to grow up faster than I should have had to. My focus during strenuous times was to try to stay positive as much as possible. These experiences I have been told, provided me wisdom beyond my years.

In life, we learn new things every single day. We learn from people, places, and most importantly we learn from our experiences. The older we get, the more time we have to learn from impactful people, life altering experiences, and today's ever changing society.

The most valuable of all the lessons that I have ever learned in my life to date would be to think before acting. Often I would go with the flow only regretting I should had put in more thought in my actions. Likewise, making decisions before thinking or gathering information will lead to poor decisions or regrettable actions. So many examples come to mind when my actions could have been improved with more thought. Perhaps compounded mistakes in my decision making led to me realize I needed to put more thought before acting. Of all my experiences to date, I sometimes question why things end up the way they do. They only meaningful explanation to me is everything happens for a reason. Likewise, when things happen, they happen during that

There are multiple things that I have learned in my life that has helped me survive in society. I've learned how to communicate and have a conversation with other people. I learned how to show respect for myself and how to show respect to the people that I encounter on a daily base. I learned how to cope with the bad thing that have happened in my life. I've learned to never lose site of who you are as a person and only change who you are because you want to change.

This paper will examine several lessons and concepts which I learned from personal life-learning experiences. Three examples that will be addressed in this paper will

A life lesson is a statement that teaches a certain principle to an individual. Randy Pausch said, “Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.” What I learn from this is that sometimes achieving your goal is not what’s important. In other words it’s about the journey not the destination. When I reminisce on my family vacations I often find I will remember going to some restaurant, fair, or what have you, but I will forget about what happened at the destination. I can remember a conversation I had in the car going to the state fair but I forget anything I had said while I was there. I believe this is a very optimistic way of seeing things when the path taken isn’t a straight shot but instead a zig zag. For example, I wanted to swim a 500 meter event in under six minutes. I trained myself very hard and at the end of the season my time was 6:04. I had gotten very close to my goal and I learned I way to train myself to make faster. I can continue to use this training to eventually gain the time I want. I hope to remember this later in my life, especially while I am in search of a job. I realise this area of life is filled with much rejection but by thinking of the experience I have gained I hope I will carry on and find a job I will enjoy.

Most of life's situations are learning experiences. People can learn what activities are right or wrong for them by experiences these emotions in different situations. These learning experiences can take place at home, school, the workplace, or anywhere else. The three major experiences that have given me confidence in my ability to learn have all taken place at Penn State University.
