Reflection On Reflection

This reflective essay will be adopted from Rolfe, Freshwater and Jasper’s (2001) reflection model. This reflection is based on a case study that I have read and will be based on the intervention I have chosen to treat the patient. Mr. Castello was admitted to the ward for observation after a fight and sustaining a laceration to his right forehead from a beer bottle and extensive bruising and scratches to his left arm. Mr. Castello had a pre-existing chest infection, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), and asthma. Assessing, cleaning and dressing his wounds is an integral part of his treatment, as his DM can lead to delayed wound healing and increased chance of infection (Salazar, Ennis, & Koh, 2016). This could be successfully achieved through

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the contribution of reflective practice for clinical nursing. Reflection has been defined as a way for individuals to “capture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate” (Boud et al 1985: 19)

For the last six weeks in both mental and acute setting, I have reflected on events that I had met in each week. Now, I am going to identify essential personal learning outcomes from those events and will include personal awareness of strengths and weaknesses. Among the different models of reflection, I will use the Gibbs model of reflection which entails six stages such as description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, action plan.

As a middle schooler, I have experienced success and failure. Sports in middle were not always good for me. In some cases I was the only one struggling personally. Other times it was my whole team and I that were struggling. Instead of giving up in these moments and just quitting the sport or blaming it on someone else, I tried to be a leader and help myself and others to get better.

In this lesson there are multiple process skills, knowledge, and skills to be included and emphasized. When doing this lesson, I would be addressing the process skills of communicating, measuring, comparing, contrasting, organizing, and analyzing. Student would partake in communicating during the class discussion about frog calls, when the groups discuss and create their frog calls, and when sharing with the class the frog calls they made. Measuring would take place during the extension game whenever the biologist times and records the time it took the female frog to find a mate. Comparing and contrasting would be done in the “Guess who makes that sound?” game. The students will be comparing and contrasting the frog sounds to their prior knowledge and to each of the frog sounds. They do this to try and figure out what animals is making that sound. Organizing will be addressed through the KLEWS chart. The students will organize their ideas, wonderings, evidence, and the like into the KLEWS chart. Also, the students will organize their data gathered in the extension game. Lastly, students analyze the observations they made during the entire lesson and that information was written in the Learning, Evidence, and Scientific Principle columns of the KLEWS chart. All of these process skills I will emphasize and guide the students through. Skills addressed in this lesson were communicating skills and engineering skills. Students need to know how to communicate in order to

My view of inclusion has become stronger since the beginning of this course. This course has helped me put into words, what I have been feeling for quite a while. The idea and the concept of inclusion was identified and defined. It has helped me realize that inclusion is a lifestyle that must be chosen by advocates of individuals with disabilities. Inclusion is not a privilege, but a right, to all individuals with disabilities. That right is not just in the classroom, but in society as well.

This semester has been busy, I have written four papers. Scoring better than I thought I was capable of. St. Edward’s University was not my first choice, because I knew that St. Edward’s focuses on their student’s writing skills. The only reason I applied was because my mom wanted me to. I got waitlisted at my first choice and then my mom thought my second choice was to far, so here I am at a University that requires more writing from a person than anyone has ever done in my life. Reading and writing are not my strongest subjects, I am better at math, chemistry, anything with numbers.I set foot at this school with the thought that I was going to fail or just barely pass Rhetoric and Composition. I was going to take it in the a university that its goal is to improve the student’s reading and writing skills. The truth was, I expected to dread the class. On the first day of class, a man in his early 40s started screaming at the 14 kids in the room. He is different than the teachers I had before which is refreshing, his name is Professor Braun. It’s November and this is the fifth paper he has us writing, it is a reflection on my writing from the beginning of September to now. From Untitled Paper #1 to Are you Certain of Your Own Truth Paper #4, I am able to see a big improvement such as there are less careless mistakes, my ideas are more developed and carried throughout my papers, and there is a more concise support and analysis in my papers.

In the beginning of this course, I was very anxious. Then day-by-day, I started to feel comfortable in our class environment. Throughout this whole course I came to know about many new things that I want to mention in this reflection.

This was our first lesson that we start our journal and I decided to climb the first wall to start. I climbed up ¾ of the way up the wall and didn’t have enough energy to pull myself any further. I was shaking the whole way up and could hardly hold on. I found it difficult to switch sides constantly and to trust the people belaying. I didn’t feel safe and the fact that Lauren, who was belaying, wasn’t paying attention. I told her multiple times to get rid of the slack. I was also climbing with Olivia Fiso and she was nice and friendly.

Reflection is some kind of thinking and of learning. By reflecting we learn from an experience which takes place in our everyday life. Sometimes reflection will show your mistakes, fears, your weak and strong points and also your prosperity. Proper definition of Reflection is that it is an active process of observing one’s own experience so to look closer at it. Before one learns from an experience, the individual will first make sense out of an experience so to have a meaning of the experience. There are two types of Reflection which are the Reflection learning and reflection practice. Reflection learning engages in reflection for the simple and clear goal of making learning out of the process of learning. The reflective practice

                       In the short story “A Retrieved Reformation” by O.Henry talks about many things. For example: Honesty is the best policy, love can change everything, or even sometimes you need to sacrifice yourself so the ones you love can be happy. But something the stuck out from the story was no matter what you do, you can’t change that past. What this is basically saying is that if you do something you regret, you can’t turn back time and change what already has happened, and it’s true. What you as the reader will read next is that the author O.Henry gives explicit detail on what Jimmy Valentine has done in his past and can’t undo.

This semester, I was fortunate to have enrolled in this class as it allowed me to learn a great deal of beneficial information. This course allowed me to improve my critical thinking skills since the course required us to analyze and reflect on the behavioral and biopsychosocial challenges within the LGBTQ community. I decided to take this course because it caught my attention to learn more about the LGBTQ communities. After taking this online course, I realized that it had made a significant change in my life. Before taking this course, I admired and respected those who are part of the LGBTQ community but after learning more about their struggles and history I feel less ignorant about the subject and respect them even more. I enjoyed every single piece of information that I was provided throughout the progression of the course. The entire course was filled with attractive topics that caught my attention each week. I enjoyed receiving feedback and reading about other’s experiences and thoughts on certain controversial subjects. I think that after completing this course, I have expanded my overall knowledge of many topics within the LGBTQ community and I have a different approach to the subject.

Most of the writing curriculum I've taken and completed was through the community college. As I entered Northern Arizona University my assignments mainly involved working with multiple choice quizzes or working with numbers. On occasion the writing material involve to write short paragraphs. Recently within the last year I am now starting to write essay papers again. To name just a few of my past writing courses that I've taken are Lost tribes and buried cities, humankind emerging, Introduction to Ethnic Studies , Introduction to public administration, and now this current course Public Sector Communication Strategies. For the lonest time I've tried to achieve a degree in Business. I envisioned myself running a business or owning one some day. Now those visions have changed a bit. Recently this spring I made the decision to change my field of major. I've decided to finish my degree in Public Administration. I have no regrets since I have always served for my community however, I've realized several of the courses I'm required to take involve learning more about our government, the history and analyze in writing what I've read and learned in my own words. It's been quite the experience, and I feel as if I have to start fresh and reiterate what I've memorized in grade school. For instance, learning how to write an essay paper, discussing the topics, and grabbing the readers attention are just a few examples. There is a saying, when you haven't practiced doing

In deal with the Two Natures of Christ’s Person, I have found that there are a lot of people past and present that still have some sort of an issue with the subject of God and Jesus Christ being one in the same. According to McGrath,” Irenaeus of Lyons on the Trinity" that God the Father is, "uncreated, who is uncontained, invisible, one God, creator of the universe." (McGrath, p. 157). And according to scripture, “I and the Father are one” John 10:30 KJV. And there are many, many more scriptures that I will quote as we go along. Now I understand the argument of not fully understanding how can God who is completely divine and not of this world, be the Son of God. And Jesus Christ who is the son of God, that was born of a woman (I left out the virgin because of another argument) conceived by the Holy Ghost. Walked among us, grew up, ate, lived in this land as we have, yet was without sin, holy, powerful, and God in the flesh. Okay, I can certainly see why the question came about. So, let me take a swing at the discussion at hand. The Bible is a Prophetic Book, it is filled with divine language, definitions, and mysteries. So, to be able to understand and answer many of the questions of this book, one must have a spiritual discernment. According to scripture, “Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth, not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged by no man”. 1 Corinthians 2:13-15 (KJV). So, then now let me also point out that being saved,or a believer does not mean the same thing as having a spirit of discernment. No, not at all, for this is a gift that one must receive from God the father. Again, scripture says, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning”, James 1:17 KJV. I could go on all day about the scriptures but I will add in this
