Reflection Paper

There are multiple reasons I am where I am today and why I’m going where I’m going. I have struggled in school ever since I can remember but without the people that I have had in my life I wouldn’t where I am today. But as I will talk about the teacher have played a huge role in the reason I am able to be where I am today.

I have learned that I am stuck in a style that does not work well. I continuously go to the same conflict responses when involved and need to learn how to change and adapt.

On September 6, 2017, I were documented for an incident that involved a University Housing policy violation. I was charged with violating the University Housing Alcohol 1.2 policy. With my violation, came consequences. I met with The Residence Conduct Coordinator to discuss my actions and came to the conclusion that I would have to schedule a meeting with The Campus Alcohol and Drug Education Center (CADEC) and with that, a reflection paper.

So, there is no doubt that my fellow comrades taught me a vast amount. I learn that it is better to listen than to always talk. My fellow classmates would always tell me I would talk too much. That was the honest truth and something I had to accept. They taught me that what I have to say is not always more important than what they have to say. This forced me to listen, and surprisingly I learned more in 10 minutes of listening than I would talking for hours. My classmates also taught me about accountability. When I said I was going to be there I was there. For example, for drill we had to pick two drill days and we had to be there. If I missed out, my peers suffered. Being me, I could not let someone else suffer because of me, so I learned how to be

I have learned more about myself by exposing myself to different experiences. By doing so, my implicit biases, stereotypes and prejudices toward other groups have changed. I have found myself stepping out of my normal routines, which has given me a better understanding of people who are different from me and have led me to see how the stereotypes I had come to be. I have also learned more about myself by keeping those biases that I have in mind and taking the proper steps to correct them. Also I have learned that I must create change when working with or being around diverse groups.

The impact of my styles in terms of interpersonal relations, and group activities I have come to realized that my results were very accurate towards the way I have conducted my life. I have been directing people around me just because I hate to see potential in people or in a project that hasn’t reached its peak or see that it’s heading in the wrong way. I like to take the lead as well as make other people aware of my actions and involve them within our progress so we all can work together.

viewpoints. Over the course of the class I felt a change in myself in the sense

In many undergraduate courses students engage in different kinds of group projects. One of the advantages of the group project as opposed to an individual one is that it gives an opportunity for students to work as a team for a period of time. When students conduct group projects, they usually allocate the tasks among the members. Whether the students work with partners or in a group co-operation is very important. This is one of the aims in undergraduate projects since in the real world people often work in teams to achieve common goals. The group members have to accommodate their own interest with that of the other members of the group, and compromise and negotiation skills are needed for smooth and effective group functioning. Us students have to externalize our thinking and communicate with group members effectively.

Mattie J.T Stepanek once said ‘Unity is strength… when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.” Working together promotes good teamwork and more skillful students. Allowing students to work in groups for projects gives them the chance learn how to problem solve, develop much needed skills, and prepares them for the real world. Overall, allowing students to work in groups promotes better learning and a brighter

Without it nothing would get done. My group wanted this final project to be one of the best videos in class. When we all got together to come up with the idea of the video, we just knew our terms, but did not have an idea we all agreed on. It was not until we took out a notebook and started writing ideas down that we started to get our group dynamic together. We made sure everybody expressed their idea and gave their pitch on the video. While we filmed the video, everybody gave their view on how each scene should be filmed. However, it was not a stressful experience we all joked and laughed throughout making the video. This group experience made me realize that group projects can be fun. They do not have to be a horrible process, we just have to communicate and make sure everyone feels

I have participated in a project that failed. I have been involved in group projects numerous times since 5th grade; this project was my first and last failures. For different reasons, I disliked group projects because there are one or more who do not participate but when it’s time to present the assignment, they act as if they contributed. In the other hand, I have also participated in a group I enjoyed working with from the beginning to the end. A long time ago, I participated in a group project in 8th grade. Our teacher divided my classmates and me into groups. The assignment was to read a novel, write a research paper, and present by using visual presentation tools. My group and I, we were assigned to read “Lord of the Flies.” I could

Over the course of the semester, there has been numerous amount of areas where I believe I have improved in comparison to high school. What has helped me in my writing is the writing class and the in-class writing workshop. The writing class that is located in the Kremen education building has helped me with my writing greatly because in the writing center the person in charge teach us lenses and we apply those lenses to the writing, draft, or reading that someone brings in. The in-class writing workshop has helped me because other students get to read my writing. This is helpful because I get feedback from many students and they let me know what needs to be fixed. A new tool I have been using is They Say I Say. The book is very helpful because of the information and examples it provides such as the templates. I have been applying the templates into my essays and I have seen a significant difference.

I have learned many aphorisms, or lessons, throughout my life so far. My family, friends, teachers, and pretty much everyone has taught me something in one way or another. These lessons usually come through in a change in my life. One change important to me was getting a job. This job has given me a positive learning experience (for the most part) and an education of working with others. Well, here’s what I know about going to work.

My father is a proud vintner of the United States Army who dictated twenty five years of his life severing our country. Growing up as a child, and not understand that life was so subjected to changes. I remember asking my father why we have to move from place to place; having to deal with going to new school making new friends all over again, and leaving old ones behind was not a pleasant feeling to me. My father informed me that travel broadens the mind. As me now developing into young adult who enjoys traveling whenever fined to time

Dive into the perils that is writing. All of us have been writing since we were young. Throughout this semester of English, I have learned how to write in APA, and I have learned how to use every detail possible to extend and expand my essays. The literacy narrative essay, research essay, and annotated bibliography have all been essays I have written this semester, and each one has been a different challenge.
