Reflection On Self Reflection

To tackle my goals this semester I needed to have a clear focus. Tackling my goals this semester has made me a stronger dancer. From the start of the semester, I have wanted to work on the continuation of my goals from the previous semester. In each class I have worked on finding ways to work on my goals anyway possible. Reflecting my work from the beginning of the semester until now, I have seen myself wanting to be more dedicated to my goals each class. The goals I had for the semester helped me to progress and I continue to work on the ones I struggle with. By having a strong work ethic and clear focus I have had a chance to work on all my main goals throughout the semester: musicality, fluidity, tension, staying lifted in the core, and confidence.

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.

Self-reflection is one of the most challenging aspects of writing. Rationalizing why I deserve the Top Graduate award is a humbling task, but I feel as though I can present a strong argument. Consequently, the goal of this essay is to inform the board of my journey at Park University. My selection to compete for this award has been an honor in itself, and will do my best to give you my credentials. However, before I begin, I will lay out a concise background on myself to help you understand a little about who I am.

My insights on cultures in the United States have changed quite a bit as a result of my studies this semester. I have a much greater understanding of ethnic groups, gender and sexuality issues, religions, and poverty. My new knowledge base will help me as I become more culturally competent and, therefore, more responsive to my future clients. I am anxious to incorporate my new understandings into my classroom and hopefully in a position as a school counselor.

This past semester in Modern III, I have found different things about myself in terms of shifting my movement vocabulary into something new. The somatic work in the beginning of class has allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and experience something new. Imagination has been a key factor in this. Three different goals that I have been working on this past semester have been keeping my abdominals engaged, my ribs to soften always, and allowing my transitions to flow smoother. As I mentioned in my midterm self-evaluation, I believe that I have come a far way from the beginning in the semester until now.

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.

For the purposes of this reflective piece, I have chosen to adopt Gibbs reflective cycle. Gibbs conceptualises the reflective process as a cycle which begins and culminates in the development of an action plan for future practice. Gibbs (1988). I personally felt that Gibbs offered a more comprehensive technique than Kolb, for example, who has been criticised for being too narrow and underdeveloped (Heron & Pym, 1974). Referring to the Kolb Cycle, Graham Gibbs, argued: "It is not enough just to do, and neither is it enough just to think. Nor is it enough simply to do and think. Learning from experience must involve linking the doing and the thinking." Gibbs (1988).

The human identity provides individuals with a sense of self, and by examining one’s identity, questions such as “Who am I?” and “What is my background?” can be asked. While both questions don’t fully allow one to recognize who they truly are, they provide a useful starting point. Additionally, as one ages and experiences what life has to offer, the puzzle of one’s identity can be pieced together. Though the events of life have the potential to reinforce one with a positive sense of identity, they can do the opposite as well. When children are bullied, they feel worthless, for their identities are treated as such; conversely, when an individual is promoted at work, their identity as a hard worker is commended. In summary, our actions and

Looking back on my past work a few prominent subjects are very apparent to me now, such as; the self-portrait, the autobiographical in art, performance and the body. My work’s autobiographical in the sense that it’s been inspired by my experiences and influenced by my environment and social surroundings. The self-portrait is a re-occurring theme in and there are works that I’ve made where I was literally in the work, acting as the performer or artist. These are themes I spent a great deal of time researching for my thesis artwork titled: Open Studio: A Phase in Six Years of my Art Education, which was exhibited at the culmination of my MFA program in 2014, which was a life-sized reproduction of my graduate studio space and a true-to-scale wax self-portrait of myself occupying the space.

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

As I finish my first semester of college in Chico, I now realize how much I have changed over the past three to four months. Coming here was a huge adjustment, but the town, people, and classes I have taken are amazing. The classes I took this semester, especially the U-Course, had a very big impact on who I am as a person since I got to college. The class required me to reflect upon myself, making me realize how much I was changing throughout the course. I can now interpret how much I have learned about one’s self identity, sustainability, and the four general education student learning outcomes.

As one gets older in life, it 's easy to look back on life to see what you did right or wrong. For many, self-reflection could be a great way to see one did wrong in life, and help them change path for a better life. The problem for self-reflection is It 's a flawed process. People are bias in their own thinking, and can 't really nail down the error in their ways. The best way is to get a set of eyes that is not your own. A person that can give you critical advice that can help you make the right changes to live a happier life. Throughout the last couple of years I have observe a person changed as a human being that seem to have no hope for anyone else. A person that going through the cycle of life, but is stuck in his ways and can 't seem to get out of. I am following the person of Jason Saechao, a person that seem to have no drive in life, and is stuck with anger.

Over the years that I have been a student at Henry Ford community college, I have learned and embraced the best thoughts that have come to nourish my writing skills. Writing has always been one of my strengths and areas I have dreamt of perfecting. However, as I began the semester, a lot of questions rang my mind about the goals I anticipated to accomplish. I was a bit anxious that I was going to learn a new writing style, the MLA. Thus, I thought of the differences I would experience in this style of writing compared to the previous ones I have learned. All in all, I was happy that I was learning a new subjecting the area of writing. The semester formed the culmination of my most learning experiences in the field of writing compared to other writing classes.
