Exam Essay
In the last few months, I’ve grown a lot. My writing abilities have improved, I’ve read books that have changed my opinions and beliefs, and I’ve learned to work as a team with other people.
Throughout the school year and the semester, I’ve read books that all seem to challenge my own moral code and my opinion on issues presented in the world today. Most of my reading material this year has been higher level nonfiction. Through the books I’ve read, I’ve learned a lot about myself as a person. The pattern in the reading material is rather clear: they all involve social and global issues that are rather controversial in nature. They involve issues that people try to avoid in casual conversation because the topics, more often than not, lead to arguments and disagreements. One of the most influential books I’ve read, I am Malala, has greatly influenced my opinion on the global issues we are facing with terrorism and has inspired a passion for the right to education. Full Frontal Feminism by Jessica Valenti and How To Be a Woman by Caitlin Moran have allowed me to develop stronger opinions of issues like abortion, the gender pay gap, and doubly standards that are present in society today. Many of the issues I’ve come to think heavily on are ones that I had not had a very strong opinion

With the 100s of pages I’ve written I’ve learned a lot about myself and my writing abilities. I think I’ve grown more because of the weekly assigned pages more than I did for any of the assigned pieces I’ve written this year,The weekly five pages of writing ranged from nonsense to my deep philosophical thoughts on life. Because of the excessive journaling I’ve done, I’ve witnessed more growth in myself as a writer than I’ve ever seen. In the past, I’ve struggled with getting my thoughts on paper. My brilliant ideas weren’t ones that I could get down on the page and it

I’ve learned to integrate the essentials of baccalaureate education into my current practice by setting professional goals for myself and learning that I’m in a proficient level of nursing in my current practice as well as what it will take to reach expert level. I also learned how the use of evidence base practice is necessary for this changing healthcare environment and how nursing leadership can help through advocating for policy changes or new policies. The continuous changes in the healthcare environment have also created special populations who require a particular level of care. Also learned how important critical thinking is when it comes to developing a focused plan of care based on evidence along with the necessity of advocacy in

Reflecting back on my experiences from my Writing 39C (and Writing 39B) class, I can acknowledge the changes and evolution in myself as a writer. In my Week 1 Self-Assessment, which was written at the beginning of the Writing 39C course in reflection to Writing 39B, I mentioned that one of my central strategies in my writing process is focusing on the pre-writing. My pre-writing process includes strategies such as brainstorming and outlining. I mentioned in the self-assessment that I would “pick up the strategies I have learned and continue to use them in the course of Writing 39C”. With that, I carried the strategy of pre-writing over to Writing 39C knowing that research papers would require a plenty amount of pre-writing. A method commonly used in research papers that I have gained experience in from this course is creating annotated bibliographies which I would consider a part of the pre-writing process. Annotated bibliographies assisted me in my writing significantly by helping me feel better prepared and giving me groundwork for starting my research paper.
My classmates provided me with many great recommendations in order to improve my resume. To be honest, I felt like my resume was poorly constructed because it was the first time that I created one in my life. I knew that I had a lot to learn, and so I was open to hearing any criticism from my peers. They provided me with a lot of recommendations, most of which I agreed with. One of my peers recommended that I need to look up some of the resume templates online in order to find one that looks more professional.

When I first thought of what I wanted to do with my life after college, the first thing I thought of was helping people. The next step in deciding what I wanted to do with my life was to exam how I could accomplish this goal. I started pondering and I was thinking about how much I love to take care of my body. Health care and personal hygiene has always been an important factor in my life. So I decided to major in Health Science. With this major, I will be able to further my education in ways to be healthy and possibly learn how to help others. I decided that being a health physician or nutritionist was something that I was really interested in. This is where communication studies came in. I figured
Before the main discussion of the reflective journal, the author would firstly like to identify that how the “organisational wellness” subject affected her. In the beginning, the author chose this subject due to the reqirement that she must choose six units of third-year level to complete her degreee. And she didn’t have any knowledge about this subject before she decided to choose it. When she attended the first lecture of “organisational wellness” , she only has abstract and vague concept of the unit learning objectives. After the ten weeks’ learning, she has clearer and better understanding of herself and she has known some important concepts which should be considered when addressing the wellbeing problem in the workplace.

When I complete Hillsborough Community College, I plan to further my education at a four year University. At the end of this course I hope I learned how to write a professional resume so I can have a better chance on getting a full time internship somewhere. I hope to become more efficient with
Throughout our journal days, that took place every other Friday, I found myself writing about topics I would have never thought of before. I was able to uncover the writer within me. In my journal, I wrote a variety of different poems, short stories, and lessons I have learned in life. As I was writing, I had a constant feeling of relaxation and peace of mind. My mind seemed blank, yet full of so many idea. The journals gave me the ability to explore my potential as a writer and allowed me to flourish in my creativity.
Writing has always been something I dread. It’s weird because I love talking and telling stories, but the moment I have to write it all down on paper, I become frantic. It’s almost as if a horse race just begun in my mind, with hundreds of horses, or words, running through my mind, unable to place them in chronological order. Because I struggle to form satisfying sentence structure, it takes me hours, sometimes even days, to write one paper. It’s not that I think I’m a “bad writer,” I just get discouraged easily. Needless to say, I don’t think highly of my writing skills. When I was little I loved to both read and write. I read just about any book I could get my hands on, and my journal was my go to for my daily adventures. Although it’s
This kind of honesty doesn’t allow God in my words. The words are never constructive or instructive but always destructive and based off biasness or judgements instead of truth. But it is so easy for these words to fly out. And whenever I bite back my words, I act like it was such a huge accomplishment. Like really? Since I didn’t say an ignorant and hurtful thing, I get to pat myself on the back? But I guess in a society so heavy on entitlement we aren’t challenged to realize that kind words aren’t something that we should be congratulated for but rather something that is a must. Matt 12:36-37 says, “ “ and is a reply to the self-righteous and prideful Pharisees. This verse shows the incredible weight of each word we use. I have heard this message or things similar time and time again and have seen the hurtful affects first hand so why do I keep falling into this pit?
