Reflection On Reflection

Whenever climbing, you can put yourself in life-threatening situations. A newspaper article said, “The climbers who fell into the crevasse had slipped on their descent down Emmons Glacier after hiking to Mount Rainier’s 14,411-foot summit....” This supports the idea that climbing can be quite

Remember: staying focused on climbing (rather than not falling) will help keep your mind calm and focused during a difficult process. And if you get tired during the ascent, try to find a safe place to camp and stop for the night. There's no shame in this: it can actually safe your life!

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 climber has one place to go, to the top, this is an opportunity to prove everyone wrong, and smash all the lies people were telling him. In the poem, the author writes, “They tell you to never look down\The average climbing rope is 50 meters long\And rated by the numbers of falls\It can withstand\Because\It is expected that you are going to lose your grip”(2-7).This shows that no one believes in him. When the author writes, “it is expected”(7), he implies that everyone else thinks that. When Michael Salinger writes, “But not your fingertip pain\Trigger loaded cams\Sway at your waist\Like a cluster of colored pendulums\Picked one by one\Inserted into fissures and cracks\Then left behind\As if they were antique keys\Poking from an attic’s trunk\And you look up\ Because you’ve been warned to never look down Feeling for imperfections in the rock\Facilitating enough friction “ (20-35). The setting, a cliff, is creating a physical challenge as well. The climber is having fingertip pain because the cliff is so rough and jagged. The challenges in the poem “Ascent” by Michael Salinger, are not like the challenges in the story Same Sun

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.

Climbing a Mountain was written after a class period where we had a class conversation about personal narratives, we conversed about how our story should be a significant moment in our lives and how it affected our lives in the long term. It took a long period of time to figure out what I wanted this piece to be about, but after a lot of thinking, I thought about this significant story. My intention for this piece was to make it seem like this hill we were hiking up was a huge task and a huge risk. The intended audience for this piece is specifically related to a individual who is getting ready to face a change in their life. While writing this piece I struggled with active and passive voice, however I am most proud of the strong voice of the

Advanced practice nursing (APN) can be loosely defined as an area of nursing in which nurses are required to practice at an advanced level in a specific area of interest. APN extends the boundaries of nursing’s scope of practice and contributes to nursing knowledge, and the development of the profession (Canadian Nurses Association, 2008). In order to become an APN, the nurse must obtain a master’s or doctoral degree from an accredited university in an area of concentration designated for advanced practice nursing. According to Joel (2009), there are currently four major groups of APNs: certified registered nurse anesthetist, certified nurse midwives, clinical nurse specialists, and nurse practitioners. APN focus on

During the first few workstations, I worked with Bridie one-on-one. While I was working with her, she would cough and sneeze without covering her mouth. When this would occur, I would state to Bridie, “Cover your mouth.” Bridie does put her fingers and hands in her mouth and nose, which she is directed to do the following: “Go wash your hands” or “Put on sanitizer”. To prevent other students and staff members from getting sick, Bridie was directed to clean her hands. Sometimes, she would refuse or start to whine, but was redirected to complete the teacher directed task without whining. The health of Birdie, health of the students, and the health of the staff members is imperative and is always a top priority in the classroom. (Standard 4)

What is the influence one classroom and one teacher can have on a person's writing? The answer being “a lot” because being a part of one English class my sophomore year made it possible for me to understand more about writing and the skills needed to achieve at the process. The teacher that I had such great communication with that year not only made it possible for me to understand what I was doing wrong, but how I could fix my problems. Without changing my writing from the past, I would still be stuck with essays and papers that lack flow and structure. Writing is such a great skill that is strongly needed in the field I wish to study and eventually one day work for in the future. While to some English and writing may not be important,

In the final days of this semester, one tends to look back at the work done over a difficult and long three months. In the case of this English composition class, reflecting on completed essays has allowed me to analyze the development of my writing over the semester. Although this semester consisted of only five essays, it has become apparent to me that my writing has improved in many aspects throughout the semester. One general example of this improvement is the vocabulary, where simple vocabulary in the first essay had become more complex by the final essays. Additionally, I also believe that my writing has become more reflective of my actual voice and opinions, an improvement considering my first essays were best described as vague.

Another type of communication barrier is the listening barrier. Listening is harder than you think. You have to become an active listener. You need to pay attention to what a team member is saying. If you do not pay attention in meetings, then you may look like you do not care about what others have to say. If you are trying to focus on when you can jump into the conversation, it may make you seem unable to relate to others around you. Once George came in to see me, and I was working on the financials. I knew he had come in, and I thought I was listening, but I need to get the reports done. He spoke to me, I must have answered him, but when I finished. I thought back to why George had come in, and I could not remember. So, I had to go and ask George what he had asked before which was a little embarrassing. So, I had to figure out how not to have this happen again.

Climbing the first ten or fifteen feet of the face was alarming, but so was the thought of the ridicule I would incur from my daughter if I did the make it to the summit, so I chose to up rather than down. I have been told that I tend to over-think things and I must have been doing that before I started my climb. I observed that climbing the face would not be a casual process but a detailed operation which required careful examination of each possible climb foothold or handhold, developing a mental climb plan based on the observations of the holds and adhering to, or modifying when required, the plan during each step of the climb. Since I am more of a crawler rather than a rock climber, and I am more disorganized than organized, this was very

We don’t know what Cory is doing above us, but we’re so cold it doesn’t matter. Renan starts climbing, then I follow. We’re all still roped together, so it’s crucial that none of us fall. The rope is supposed to be secured to the mountain to catch a fall, but mortal predicaments like this happen often in mountaineering. When there are no good anchors, your partners become your anchors, physically and emotionally. You must trust your life to their judgment and ability, and they entrust their lives to yours. This is the code of the

Heart pounding, shallow breath, darkness, and then finally... the sun broke through like a trophy waiting to be given. We climbed the Duomo right after we climbed the bell tower. Imagine climbing a 20 story skyscraper - that's what we did. But we didn't do just that.
