Reflection Paper For Science

One of the most fruitful professional development opportunities this summer was the training program offered through the National Library of Medicine’s National Training Center, PubMed for Trainers. The 4 part course provided an in-depth look at PubMed, new tools and search strategies. The training included an additional instructional design component in addition to being exposed to the logic and methodologies used in PubMed will enhance my teaching of the platform. The training and the instructional design are going to be invaluable heading into the Fall semester. The instructional design sessions have guided and refined my upcoming library instruction sessions for nursing and exercise and health sciences students. It has reinforced me

Allow time to work and encourage them to draw their own illustrations. This will help them connect the image building with comprehension and to reinforce the concept of visualization.

This week at Bridge House things are not running so smoothly. After returning from a long weekend I notice a change in the client ratio. Some clients was discharged over the weekend, resulting from unappropriated behaviors. I found the challenge to be the coed residential setting. This setting for some takes the recovery focus away. Individuals begin to form intimate relationships, and lose their focus. They become once again unable to make importance decisions for themselves. As seen with the two clients who decided to leave the program together, and the other two who got caught having imamate contact. I truly think that a rehab setting should not be coed.

During my first semester attending Auburn University, I took an English Composition class. This course taught me many things not only about necessary writing skills, but also many things about myself. The class also showed me how important it is to research and embrace unfamiliar subcultures and communities. English Composition required me to produce three papers –two of them I am very proud of. Throughout the course of writing each assignment, I developed a connection with the subject matter of each piece. I believe I have learned what is expected of a college level writer. All of the skills I have acquired from this course have molded me into an adequate writer and a well-rounded student.

Considering all of my lessons this semester, my main strength would be modeling the lesson for the students and praising the students with positive reinforcement. I feel as the students remained engaged and they were always willing to participate, which allowed them to meet all of the objectives in my lesson. I was impressed with how well much the students remembered and understood from my lessons. I presented the instruction and goals for the lesson prior to beginning the activity. During the lesson, I frequently asked the students questions in order for the students to remain thinking as well as focused.

Most people would agree that “practice makes perfect”. That goes for anything one does, including in an English class. Throughout the semester I have grown as a writer. There are still things that I could of course work on, and get better at. But, as of recently I have become a better writer than what I started out as. Concepts that I have learned I can continue to build off of to become a better writer. Which is something I hope to do. Going into English 1010 I knew there were things that I could be better at. Therefore, I came into class with an open mind. This class has taught me how to use certain skills to write a well written essay. By using the learning objectives exemplified in the class I was able to write multiple well written

It is  finally the day, final registration at the college. As I sit there waiting to pick my classes, I saw a lady teaching a little girl how to play a game of cards. I always had my mind set on teaching and I knew that picking a grade to teach was going to be a tough decision. As time went on I planned on teaching a high school grade in history, I even had a teacher cadet class where I shadowed a freshman history teacher, helped with the class, and even taught two lessons.

Since the beginning of the semester, my writing has changed and evolved to accommodate and sustain longer essays. With longer essays, there is more room for in-depth analysis. Further analyzing a topic has led me to findings that I did not know existed. As I continue to write, I uncover addition and superior methods to approach my writing to the benefit of me and therefore, my audience. Throughout the semester, I have incorporated techniques to further my narrative throughout my writing.

I spoke at length with Mr. Rife on 7/5/17. He reports that his pain level remains at a 7. He reports taking his narcotic pain medication twice a day. He said he is going to physical therapy. They are working on Isometric exercises and also heat and ice. He has a home program to follow. He reports he was able to attend his son’s wedding out west. I explained to Mr. Rife that my co-worker Chris Callahan would be meeting him at his next appointment on 7/10/17. The following is the update from Ms. Callahan:

This has been one of the most useful, interesting, and difficult tasks that I have taken on so far, but has proven to be transformative in all aspects of my daily life. At the beginning of the semester, I was asked to create a long-term goal to achieve. A goal that was not too easily accomplished, but also within my capabilities. I chose to lose twelve pounds in the remaining twelve weeks of this semester. I do not believe that I would have been very successful in accomplishing my goal had I not taken this class and learned mental training strategies. Not only was I able to successfully complete my goal, but I surpassed it. I also noticed that my performance this semester improved from last semester. These skills have proved beneficial to me during one of the most trying semesters I have had so far in school. The three main strategies I used were: Setting a specific goal, utilizing a buddy, and having the ability to increase and decrease my arousal to achieve the optimal psycho-physiological state.

Pablo Picasso once said, “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” The more I come to know God day by day, the more the quotes means to me. As a freshman in college, it can be very intimidating to be expected to just know what I want the rest of my life to look like. However, having an idea of your skills and how they can contribute to your purpose to serve God, can help a great deal. What do I have that I can essentially give away? Becoming an elementary teacher has always been my primary goal in life, and based on my skills and talents I feel this is where God is calling me to glorify him most. At this point in my life, my God-given talent, that I know of, is to work in the lives of younger children but due to the resources I’ve been given throughout the year, I know that God is much bigger than my own comprehendible knowledge.

During my time as a toddler, I enjoyed being thrown into the pool by my dad and learning how to use my small arms to dog-paddle back to him. There were times when my movements were not enough to keep me from descending, which caused me to become overwhelmed with angst. That was usually my dad’s cue to jump in and save me. This is when I first learned the basics of trust, kick-starting a new concept I used to always believe in. I began to have faith in my father, thinking he would always be there for me.

Everyone remembers that one teacher. The teacher who was their favorite. The one teacher who they, as a student, looked forward to each and every class lecture. Through all the dry and tedious class presentations, these teachers woke the class up with their animated passion for what they were teaching and the unmistakable desire for their students to learn. The purpose of this reflective journal is to discuss this week’s assignment readings while connecting how this information will improve my skills related to clinical teaching.

Five things from the book that I find interesting are anxiety disorder, depression/major depressive disorder, sexual harassment, suicide, and panic attack. All five of these subjects I have chosen because, as a female in the 21st century, I have experienced every one of these emotions at least once in my life.

"Strength and Honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come." Proverbs 31:25, one of my favorite bible verses to keep me encouraged. Especially in reference to the trials and tribulations that I've had to endure and overcome in my lifetime. One thing I've learned about life is that it has no favorites and we cannot control how it will play out. However, we are in control of the way to react to adversities and your life begins to change the day you take responsibility for it. I was raised in a 1 parent household with a single mother working full-time who had graduated with her Master’s degree. The bar was set high for the expectations of me to follow in her footsteps but by the time I was 17 years old, life had already began to take its toll and I had moved from my mother's home. My father was capable of being in my life and taking responsibility but he was incapable of showing consistent love in ways that didn't have a negative effect on how I viewed him. At times, I felt my mother was incapable too but I was understanding to her circumstances and frustration of raising 3 children on her on. It wasn't until a few years ago that I was able to identify and analyze that I had developed some resentment towards my parents and begin on a journey towards self healing. I had wasted so much time feeling bitter, unloved and incapable but became skilled at masking my emotions. Although I knew deep down I didn't want to feel those emotions, I didn't know how to change
