Reflection On The New Year

Something that I think I have accomplished this year is my improvements on my benchmarks, literature, and nonfiction overall scores. I have improved my scores on all those subject by about twenty percent each. I would say that is an accomplishment for this year.

My list starts with finishing the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) program at Carrington College. I completed this course in April 2012 and moved a step ahead in my professional aspirations. Earlier I used to plan and dream for my life solely, but in September 2016 I got married to the man of my dreams. Now I got a company to pursue my dream professional and personal life. In such a short age, I am the proud owner of two homes. I made a solid move by buying these materialistic assets as constant cash is flowing from one house as rent. I also successfully passed NCCPT certification to become a personal trainer and got my certification in February

Everyone on the planet has a goal set in life, but only a handful attempt to improve to obtain their goal by studying the subject their goal is in. In my English class, English 101 this quarter I was astonished by how much I had progressed as a writer sharpening my writing skills and also learned a lot about writing that I hadn’t learned before. In my writing portfolio for this quarter I had to write an autobiography essay, a research essay, and this reflection essay to develop my writing skills better. The writing assignments were fun to do because it challenged me to work on essays of different styles that were new to me. The essay assignments helped me grow as a better writer that gave me the self-confidence and skills to take on the world on my own.

Everyone has accomplishments, People experience them young, old and all inbetween. A main accomplishment in my life has been starting for the varsity lacrosse team here at Clackamas High School. Along with starting on my high school team, as a sophomore, I also was invited to play on some of the best club teams in Oregon. During these experiences I have grown as a person, began working harder, and learned you can’t always control everything. With determination you can do anything you set your mind to.

Furthermore, as a writer and reader, I have my goals that I set out to achieve to become better. An example of a goal that I have for writing is to start adding more evidence in my paragraphs so that the structures of my paragraphs become more ‘juicy.' Another goal I have for my writing is to have better grammar and higher vocabulary. Having better grammar and better

My proudest accomplishment is graduating college within four years. I was the first person in my immediate family to finish my bachelor’s degree within four years. I hope my accomplishment will serve as a model to my younger family members.

Happy New Year! How are you? I just wanted to update you. I applied for jobs through Americorps and landing one in Pittsburgh with a Non-profit called Higher Achievement. We are an affiliate to a national program. Higher Achievement aims to help middle school scholars from the Hill District and Homewood areas, prepare for High School and for placement in advanced programs and or top tier schools. I was hired to help recruit mentors for the scholars and create programming for alumni of Higher Achievement. I told my supervisors about my interest in communications and they offered me the opportunity to be affiliate Brand Manager and of course I took it! I'm happy to be getting my foot in the door. I hope you're doing well and looking forward to

I have never been an excellent student and perennially struggled with English, Math, and Science growing up. These subjects would cast a pall over my day and school work. Anxiety would well up inside of me which often resulted with me passed out across my desk sleeping through parts of class. When I would return home at day’s end, I rarely completed my homework. When I did try to complete homework, it often ended in tears of frustration or the hurling of a book across the room. Taking this class has helped to quell a portion of that anxiety and frustration. It was a grueling class, seemingly impossible at times, but taking this class has given me the confidence to know that not only can I finish the class if I work hard but can also excel! Writing is something that I will exercise throughout my college curriculum and my life. It will help to convey my ideas to the instructor, peers, bosses, and co-workers. In my college curriculum, it will also show my instructors that I’m learning the information provided and how to apply that knowledge appropriately. It will allow me to complete assignments, discussions, and reports, and I will also apply writing in basic communication when necessary.

These last few years have actually been the best years of my life. They were filled with success, new relationships, and happiness. My involvement at school and in my community had a major role in the above listed.

I have such a sense of satisfaction despite the fact that I did very little in the way of what I would call “meaningful” contribution. JWW suffered an unusual year due to unforeseen circumstances and a number of preparatory tasks generally included

Graduating in the top ten percent of my high school class last May is something I am happy I was able to accomplish. I am proud I was able to accomplish this because it was a goal I had set for myself at the beginning of my senior year. I am also happy that I was able to pass my 2-14 Life Insurance license. Passing this test is something I am happy because it is an accomplishment that not most 18 year olds can say they have done.

When the clock hits 12 on December 31, it marks the beginning of the New Year. It is the time when resolutions are made and people are charged with new spirits. It fills the atmosphere with optimism and buoyancy. New Year is celebrated in every part of the world as most countries follow the Gregorian calendar. People around the world follow their own tradition and customs to welcome it, which add to the variety of celebrations. What remains constant during this time though is the ringing of church bells, honking of horns, blowing of whistles, and shrieking of sirens. Tasting exquisite wine and food and indulging in dance and enjoying the fireworks have become a common part of the New Year celebration around the world.

“To play a wrong note is insignificant; To play without passion is inexcusable”(Ludwig Van Beethoven). This year I have made many realizations and improvements to my musical abilities. Between practicing hard for County Orchestra, District Orchestra, and just regular orchestra, I have made many discoveries and improvements to my talents. Also, I have grown as a person from the struggles and obstacles that I have had to overcome. While at times frustrating, it taught me valuable life lessons while still being enjoyable.

The Movie New Year Baby is a documentary directed by Socheata that delves into the Poeuv family’s past of fleeing from Cambodia during the reign of the Communist, Khmer Rogue and how it has affected their family, despite living in America. I would like to focus on Kear Poeuv who is Socheata’s mother. Poeuv created an artificially, normal life while coercing her family to live a lie. Kear reflects the opposite of the Chinese Existential principle as the mother does not confront conflicts that have arisen in life and deal with them directly. Kear’s response to her conflicts that have arisen can relate to Skinner’s personality theories of how past traumas can affect future behaviors

The New Year is upon us once again, ready or not. This holiday seems to me the one that provokes the most thought and reflection, which is a good thing really. We all need to assess where we are in our journey of life and make adjustments. For the Christian, this is especially important. Ephesians 5:1-2 reminds us to "Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." The past year has been a great learning year for me in the area of relationships. I 've learned a lot about myself, others, and especially about how much God loves ME! Some of what I learned was very disappointing as I saw so much selfishness in relationships. I know that I am guilty of it too sometimes, but I just recognized it more, and saw the repercussions many times. Those consequences are painful and the effects are trickle-down. It has made me really think about Love a lot more and how Love as God intended it to be should be evident in our lives ALWAYS, and not just when it 's convenient for us. God spoke to me about His Love through my dog, Tracker. Yep, this is the Tracker story that I 've been meaning to put out there. This isn 't exactly how I thought I 'd convey it to everyone but as time has passed and I think about it even more, I know without a doubt that the truth that God impressed upon me that night is what is most important about the story. Tracker is an
