Reflection Of The Work

Passion motivates people to strive to be their best and put forth everything they’ve got. It is imperative. The roles of a physician’s assistant such as diagnosing, treating, and building relationships with patients allows me to display my greatest strengths due how passionate I am about changing lives. The application of my specific skill set through my action plan conditions me into an eligible candidate for my future occupation in health

Many factors come into play when we assess the lives of both Wes Moores introduced in the short novel The Other Wes Moore some of these factors are the expectations that shaped each man’s life. “The expectations that others place on us help us form our expectations of ourselves” (Moore126) some people are able to help encourage free minded individuals that are able to discover for themselves how to better judge their actions in society for a more positive outcome. Expectations from others have a strong impact on the choices an individual makes, and both Wes Moore’s choices were strongly influenced by the expectations of their role models and mentors. Although, both Wes Moores lived in the ghettos of the east coast and encountered bad influences

Throughout “The other Wes Moore”, The Wes’ were faced with surprisingly similar situations that were handled in very different ways. These situations were key turning points in each of their lives and shaped them into who they are. Even though each Wes had hardships in their environment and faced many trials and tribulations, ultimately, their choices during these times are what produced each Wes. Because of their series of different choices that each Wes Moore made during their lifetime and the outcome of their choices, we are not just products of our environments, but also products of the choices we make.

The Other Wes Moore is an autobiographical novel that is told from the heart of author, Wes Moore, while showing an illustrative purpose. One section of his book, in the epilogue, shows Moore diving into a more personal note on the roller coaster of a life he has lived, thus far. He uses his tone and diction to reflect on how the environment people grow up in can influence the ways they act and to explain that the people closest to you can change the opportunities you may have later in life, while using imagery and parallelism to show that no matter who you are or what background you come from, it can’t restrict or confine you from doing extraordinary things.

In The Other Wes Moore, the author expresses the striking similarities between him and another man with the same name. The two men are so similar, in fact, that there are very few elements of their lives that set them apart, such as their family histories and personal choices. In writing his book, the author has several target audiences in mind, from young black men to young adults pursuing higher education and people in positions of power. Despite his multiple target audiences, the author has one overall purpose for his book: to show what happens when a person full of potential gives up hope. The story also goes further, showing the importance of both family history and personal choice in the shaping of a person’s future.

Wes Moore, writes how to find you own individual “Work,” we usually say find what you are passionate about, or purpose in life. He believes, how you deal with challenges and adversities, and what you stand for will often times set you on your journey to greatness or failure. Therefore, when you know what you’ll stand for, Moore states, “you will find your greatest joy, and you’ll find your point in being her in the first place.” (Moore, 2015) However, while on the journey Moore encourages life, enjoy the journey, have fun. The author states, “savor the little moments.” (Moore, 2015) One of my favorite parts in the book is when his grandfather encourages Wes Moore not to be afraid of being different. The author

This was the beginning of his failure. The juxtaposition of the two communities emphasizes their different approaches and its effects of both Wes’s, the author Wes forgiving community gave him second chances and paving the way to success for him while the other Wes relentless community wanted to force him to accept the reality of how hard it was to be successful. The other Wes Moore is a story using flashbacks to childhood, juxtapositions of communities and parallel plot structures of lives to explain the importance and influence of one’s community over one’s nature, the author Wes was nurtured to understand what it takes to succeed while the other Wes’ nurturing was harder to understand leading to his failing. The author Wes was helped by others that were being strict to him, and the outcome of the other Wes failed because his community was too hard on him and he failed to understand, and the author Wes succeeded in life through his forgiving community and his reliance on it to further guide him to success.

Wes Moore wrote this not to compare his life to the other Wes’ but to show how people’s entire

One of the great things about the “The other Wes Moore” is the simple retelling of two completely different lives. It is interesting how Moore does not advise but rather hopes that each person will develop their own idea and construct about what the moral of the story may be. And furthermore about how it applies to an individual’s life.

“It is unequivocally clear that leaders are not like other people” (Kirkpatrick and Locke, 1991, as cited in Northouse, P. G., 2016, p.22). I have always thought that I was not like other people; I see the world through a different lens. This difference, which sets me apart from my peers, has sometimes restrained my progress; however, after studying my differences and seeing them as strengths, I can now focus on these strengths that make me a unique, passionate, progressive leader. In reflecting on my leadership skills, I will analyze the results of the leadership questionnaires, as presented in Peter Northouse’s book, Leadership:Theory and practice (7th ed.), connect those result strengths with the

The essay I believe that demonstrated my best work is essay number 4.In that essay I was able to express myself and share my believe with my reader. I was able to provide concrete evidences that support my claim. In my mind that essay could change someone's opinion on how they view the public school system. There were some minor grammatical errors in the essay but over the essay was excellent.

In this essay I am going to reflect on my experience working as part of a team and the preparation on an oral presentation I had to do in class with people from different courses, as part of the Foundations for Practice in Health and Social Care module. Reflection is educational and is used as a means of self-knowledge and to develop using a process of feeling and learning by thinking about what happened and what could have been done differently. (Rolfe, 2011, p.8-12) I will be using the Gibbs (1988) Reflective Cycle to do this. In this model there are 6 different stages to look at to help structure reflection, the description of the event, your feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and an action plan. There is more than one model

In Wes Moore’s, The Work, an inspirational journey is told influencing society to discover their path to purpose by not only living a prosperous life, but how to live a meaningful one. In addition to sharing his profound measures taken through risk-taking, courage and service as a way to learn his life’s worth, Moore shares the story of family members and entrepreneurs acts of humanitarianism that contributed to this as well. Leaving his mark on the world, Moore successfully delivers a moral lesson: mankind is inevitably intertwined and weaving valuable teachings from all walks of life creates an individual’s path to triumph. Nonetheless, living a life of meaning involves existing for more than oneself, creating freedom to pursue happiness, success and truly live. Prior to reading The Work, I read Moore’s first book, The Other Wes Moore, of in which I consider an intriguing follow up of the first. In addition to attending Dr. Skye Paine’s lecture on one of the key concepts of The Work, passion, meeting and conversing with Moore at the diversity conference simply solidified and confirmed my ideologies of him. His humbly vibrant, inquisitive and welcoming character made both his story and persona open, illuminating and pertinent. In reading The Work, and agreeing with his creeds I did not gain a new understanding, but reassurance of my understanding.

Student’s as well as the ‘working class’ will be my audience. Students of privilege who no not what it’s like to truly be on their own; whether it be their parents assistance, or living on campus. Most students have not had to be fully accountable of their lively-hood. While their parents help pay their way through school. In my hope to show them how much of a battle thing’s would be without the help they receive. What it is like to work somewhere you would not chose otherwise, except to survive. As for the working class hope they will see how getting education pays off in the long run. How having a higher education would benefit someone in the working class. They could choose the job they would like to do. Instead of one that wears on the

Reflection is considered as a vital element of professional practice as it precedes to insight and then subsequent change in practice. The hypothesis of reflection is not new as it can be tracked as far back in the 5th century by the influential Greek philosopher, Socrates and to the 1930s primarily focusing on John Dewey’s work. Dewey is one of the founders of learning from experience. He theorised reflection as ‘active, persistent and careful consideration’ (Dewey, 1933) initiated by a specific situation which was opposing, perplexing or uncertain. One of its most common use today is coming up with a thought, an idea, or opinion made or an observation made as a result of concentration, suggesting in essence a way of thinking in which one looks back and meditate upon (Agnes, 2004).
