Reflection Of Self Reflection

This is my end of year grade 12 culminating self protariate. The project was to create two self portraits but to have them on one page. Initially, I did not expect myself to finish before school ended due to how long it took me to complete it last year. But by reflecting on what happened last year with my lack of time I was able to change my techniques up to fit the time span.

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.

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.

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.

During the presentation, the team adapted the demonstration method inside of welcoming, did not perform encouragement for the audience to join the movie night and help out the charity. The plain slides style did not provide secure engagement and visual appeal. Ticketing system explanation was made

There were two things I took away from the article, the first being finding out the root cause of where self-concept stemmed from. For example, according to the article self-concept is first shaped by our mother; we respond back with decisions or judgments based on our initial experiences from our first caregiver. "A child who had an unresponsive mother will act obnoxious or withdrawn so that people will want to keep their distance. Those with consistently responsive mothers are confident and connect well with their peers" (Flora). Evidently, this has always been the case, specifically true in a sense where our self-perception would be a result from how our

Going into this paper I really wasn’t sure what to expect. You do a lot more workshops then any English teachers I’ve had in the past. This also meant that I had to bring in a much rougher draft then I’m used to other people seeing. Letting other people read my paper in a raw unpolished state was a little bit nerve-wracking for me. Though, in the end, I’m really grateful for all the workshops and all the many different types of feedback it enabled me to receive on my paper

This is only the second class that I have taken since making the decision to return to college, and one in which I know has undoubtedly induced such a powerful personal impact, more so than any other curriculum I’ve studied. Reading the two books I was assigned required an enormous amount of self reflection and helped explain how certain occurrences shaped me into the person I am today, and taught me the necessary skills needed to elevate my understanding on the subject of biblical narrative, and how instrumental it is in developing my story. While both books discussed the topic of story, I appreciated how their different writing styles allowed me to gain a broader perspective on the subject in its totality. I took from Donald

Before attending the University of Rochester, I had never been exposed to a different culture other than my own. Actually, I had never been exposed to a demanding educational system, not even time management. Every single thing that I have experience since I step a foot in Rochester itself is new for me. Consequently, the CAS 145 course provided me with support which allowed me to be more confident in myself, it permitted me to view my surroundings and realize that I am not the only human being who comes with a weak educational background and is trying to find a rhythm in order to succeed in a prestigious university.

“You’re retarded, Tristin,” my classmate said to me as I sat in the corner of the classroom, unable to read the text in front of my eyes. As I sat there struggling, mocked by my peers, I withdrew further and further into myself. I had just switched schools, and this new environment I had been put into was hostile and unforgiving. My six year old self began to believe that what my peers were saying to me was true. I was stupid and there was no way to fix that. My grades started to slip, and I became more and more secluded.

After going to pre-school my motor and social skills peaked since I had never seen many toys and I began to play with toys and make crafts like putting a string on a mitten and make many friends, but I had more guy friends rather than girlfriends since I had arrived from Mexico and all the girls where mean to me. Fast forward to when I was four and five years old, not only was I growing and more energized but I had a new family with a mom, a dad. Now I was able to go to the park and ride my bike with training wheels and run around and play soccer I would make forts inside and outside of our small apartment. Later on, in Kindergarten I would play with my friends and work together to build puzzles and play group games and solve problems or learn new vocab words. Teachers would have in place many games and tasks for us to build our social and language skills. Such as jumping rope and seeing who could jump to 100 and learn to encourage our group, and we would play hide and seek and whoever's groups had more points would win. These activities helped me learn to work within a group and work in unity to succeed as an individual and as a group. But the main goal of speaking our mind and our emotions failed after the incident with my dad.
