Reflection On Performance Reflection

Many students have had their own personal journeys into college. People experienced inspirations on their journey, whether it`s from a family member, mentor, educator or a personal event that occurred in their lives. In my journey into college I`ve been encouraged by many experiences in my life that has brought me to where I’m today. Various people have been a big part of my journey, giving me the encouragement I needed when I wanted to throw in the towel. For example, my mother, my educator Ms. Tynes and even my friends spoke life into when I thought school wasn’t meant for me.

I came to college knowing, that so much of what I was over the first eighteen years of my life would be put to the test. Not simply because I was a conservative, in a liberal environment, but because I would be faced with four years, in a place that was in such

I know that many students can identify to what I went through my first year and it would mean so much to me to reach out to those students afraid of what to expect and help them ease into this new chapter of their life. I will also offer an experience that many college students struggled with, which is learning to balance your overall health and well-being with a whole new load of responsibilities and opportunities. I will certainly never leave a student feeling alone because after attending orientation, every new student could say they already have one friend at Carolina: Kate

Coming in as a freshman with enough college credits to make me sophomore, made me feel out of place. I did not experience the freshmen experience like most freshmen’s coming into college because I had previously taken college classes during high school. I have already felt what it was like to be in college classes for the first time when I took dual credit classes. Because of that, I never felt any excitement during my first day at TAMUCC. There was not anything I did not expect coming in as freshmen. For example, I have already experienced the demanding college schedule, the mountains of homework, assignments, and tests, and first day of school feeling. When I learned about the Habits of the Mind in my freshmen seminar class, I realized that I was missing a few of them. I felt like I was least developed in the habit of openness and

What went well in all of the presented presentation; knowing the information, having an attentive audience, and presenting with confidence. Our first presentation was at the Red Apple adult center, we had props to help clarify the information. Information presented was descriptive to distinguish each section of the presentation. At the end of the presentation, we played a game called spine and show. The did very well by responding to all questions. When it all done and over, we received hugs and a lot of questions about stains on teeth. Another point that worked well during the

The third, oversaw creating a brochure, and lastly the fourth member would take over selecting, and prepping the meal as part of the demonstration for a healthy alternative dish that still connected to some of the traditional foods Africans consume. Once each person completed their part, everyone upload any slides and parts that they had to contribute, on blackboard. Along with the slides, each person also created their own lesson plan to go along with their work, including any references they used. Upon everyone completing their parts, our plan was to combine everything, but once we did, we realized we had to many slides and repeated information, so we condensed and deleted some of the information. We originally had around 45 slides and got it down to 30, giving us approximately 1 minute per slide. We had planned for each person to present the information they had contributed, but we decided to let two of the best speakers in the group present the PowerPoint, while the other two prepped and prepared the dish to demonstrate and serve to the class. Wes and Logan presented, while Clarissa and myself did the food demonstration and

The difference between mature college students from and immature high school student for one is their priorities. College students grow up and realize that the high school antics are prohibited. They have to take on different responsibilities that high school students probably haven't encountered yet. In college we practically become adults we have dues, fees, jobs, rent, etc. They pay for their education. They can't go out and party until the crack of dawn then turn in papers right in the class before. College students balance between

Freshman year, the year of many first; the first time living away from home, the first time being away from friends, the first time a student has control of their own learning. Freshman year requires a lot of discipline, but a lot of students do not possess this trait. The factors that contribute to the success of first year college students are social support, comfort within the college environment, self control,responsibiliy and positive self concept.

1. I want to be a school counselor because it seems like fun. As a school counselor you have many responsibilities but they mainly involve children and although I don’t personally like children they do seem to like me for some unknown reason making it easy for me to deal with them, and I like doing easy work. Counseling doesn’t really get paid to well but you can get summers off if you're good at negotiating though you don’t work you don’t get paid so you would have to find another job to keep you in your house over the summers. Counseling is not something that the faint of heart should get into because it is very possible that you could hear or see things that would

My first day at Wayne State University was one of the toughest, yet most exciting challenges I had ever faced in my life. Although it did not happen out of the blue, it was still as nerve-racking as learning to drive a car for the first time ever. As a high school senior, I always thought of myself as the smartest kid in my class. However, entering college as a freshman made me think that everyone was more intelligent and mature than me; I felt lost. I used to have such feelings when I started as a freshman in high school, so I already had an idea on how to deal with those feelings; I simply had to realize that every other freshman was just as nervous as I was and that I had to go with the flow and do my best just like everyone else.

For most Americans the traditional next step after graduating high school is enrolling into college. This causes an extreme pressure on high school graduates to continue on being a full time student whether it be from parents, fear of losing heath care, or watching friends go away to college. Many students to fall into the belief that quickly getting through the next four years of college to obtain a degree is the best way to lead to the beginning of career success and the next phase of their lives. However, dedicating oneself to a university is a task that takes extensive amounts of time with careful and precise planning, which most high school seniors do

We all decided to work on our own slides and then just put them together. We let each other write down their ideas on their own topics. We each made our own note cards and prepared by ourselves to present our designated slides. I was the one in charge to make the PowerPoint look presentable. Diana was the one to look for a good video to add to the presentation to make our point a bit easier to understand and Amy was the one that found the information about what pandemics vaccinations had help combat. Although we never really decided who was going to be the team leader I think Diana eventually filled in the spot because she was the one to tell Amy and me if anything had to be deleted or what we should add to make the PowerPoint

Each group will be assigned a topic to work on and present it as a group in a powerpoint format, that must not be more than 4-5 slides long., each presentation should not last more than 10 minutes

As a way to recognize areas of opportunity, I will request to have my next small and large group presentations video-taped. Video-taping the presentation will allow for personal reflection and recognition of strengths and weaknesses. I will ask a co-worker to keep track of how many ahs and ums I use and set a personal goal for eliminating these from any of my verbal presentations. I will also begin using the audience analysis worksheet provided in the textbook (Haynes, 2016, pp. 144-146). This advance planning will allow me to be better prepared for the larger group presentations. Allowing more time for practice and rehearsals will also allow for a more fluid presentation and perhaps even get me to move away from the podium every once in a

Throughout my lifetime I have listened to people reflect back on their college experiences and explain how college is supposed to be “the best experience of your life.” The summer after my senior year I use to try and imagine what my first semester was going to be like based on what I had heard people talk about in the past. After my first semester at NC State I realized that I couldn’t fully understand what college was like until I experienced it for myself. My first couple of weeks at Ohio State was rough and really tested my strength (mental and physical). I faced challenges and obstacles that I had never heard about in those past college experience conversations. All of a sudden there was no one to get me out of
