Reflective Paper Outline Psy/202

When I sit back and consider the significant events in my past, the important aspects of my life, and my future goals, the underlying theme is my appreciation for life’s struggles, people who help you through them and how they make you who you are. Throughout my entire life I have experienced the joys of accomplishing tasks and the sorrow of hardships, but no matter whether they were good or bad experiences they all helped to shape who I am today and who I will become tomorrow.

An older man sits on the side of the highway holding a sign that says “hungry please help.” A man sitting a few cars ahead of you in a white BMW throws a can of soda at the old man and yells “get a job!” Another car cautiously gives the man some change, and the old man replies by saying “God Bless You!” As I pull forward I tell the man to meet me at the gas station just across the road and I will buy him some dinner. He is extremely grateful and slowly makes his way across the road. We both go in the service center and I allow him to get what he needs. We both pick several items and then I pay for them at the counter. The older man thanked me a thousand times and made his way to front door to sit just outside and enjoy his

In my essay topic I will be discussing my view on (G.A.S) P.N.I. illness, stress and coping. The topics covered in my paper will be based off of my own personal experiences with correlation to Chapter 14 “Stress, coping and wellbeing” and their connection to my own personal experiences.

Every experience I have had and accomplishments I have attained in the past helped define who I am today. Everything I have gone through and have done in the previous years of my life molded me into the person I am today. Not only did they shape me into who I am but also guided me in discovering the potentials I have buried deep within me and those I never thought I had. These experiences and accomplishments often mold us into someone we never thought we would be. Looking back at my past, it was not all good. I regret nothing, however, for I know that everything in life happens for a reason – may they be good or bad. Without the challenges and hardships of the past, I may not be who I am today. Back when I was in elementary school, I always

I catch myself daydreaming on a daily basis if i'm on the right road to a bright and successful future. The choices i’ve made leading up to high school have been good so far. Of course there has been years where i messed up but i stayed on the right tracks and didn’t drop out or give up. Throughout the years I learned what i need to improve on and I will make sure that those things get improved.

But even as I work on obtaining skills and finishing my high school work, I will also focus on the big picture, and not get so wrapped up in the steps to get there that I forget where I am going. The most important question I’ll ask myself in the future will be about who I loved, and if I truly impacted the lives of those closest to me. I hope to have inspired them to dream big and work hard by doing that myself, and I hope they will talk about me the way I talk about some of my biggest heroes like Laura Sandefer has, Robert Bakhshai has, and Abigail King.

As Bryan Clay has mentioned, I too believe that “I was blessed with certain gifts and talents and God gave them to me to be the best person I can be and to have a positive impact on other people.” My gifts make me unique. Therefore, I plan to take advantage of them. Many individuals claim that they are going to “leave their mark.” Yet, in the end, they don't seem quite capable of living up to their own statement. I, however, am eager to venture off and prove that I can live up to my commitment. I am the type of person that is willing to go the extra mile, and I know that God will bless me enough to get me through all the hardships that may come my way. I am prepared to engage in my future, and I am certain that I will not let myself down. I

I would like to believe that each individual reflects upon how they can become a better person the next day. In reality, I understand that not everyone thinks this way. And even those who do will not think like this every day. When examining one’s life decisions, it is important to reflect upon where one has come from and where one aims to go. In my own personal life, I aim to become a clinical social worker to aid in the relief of those who have suffered. More specifically, I would like to work in urgent care, hospitals, and hospice in order to help those with physical conditions understand the ramifications of their decisions and have as much peace among the chaos in their lives as possible.

The way I imagine it, no matter what age or stage you’re at in life, looking toward your future is a daunting task; which is how I currently feel. Sitting in the bedroom of my parent’s house, thinking about the future that lies ahead of me, I’m simply taken back. The days of the calendar come and go, a semester of school ends while another begins; life transpires before you like a Broadway play. But sometimes we have the opportunity to step back, and take a look at our own life and where we stand within it. This moment came to me recently while sitting in class, my professor, speaking of our future, told us to “wrap your soul around it.”

The emotional me is different everyday. Sometimes, I can be pessimistic or optimistic but I try to think positively. I think showing love is a good thing and I show love by checking in on the person, helping them, and being kind. I believe that showing hate is a bad thing and we should act kind even in bad times. I express joy with smiling and laughing. I convey sorrow by changing my normally joyful and excited

I hypothesize that professors who are knowledgeable and passionate about the material they are teaching will be prepared and ensure students are learning the material. I also hypothesize that students who have taken the Psyc 250 course will recommend the course to other CSUB students. The variables of the study were a level of passion, preparedness, explanation of material, knowledge of instructor, instructor involvement, a level of preparedness of instructor, homework assignments, the speed of lecturer, and instructor availability to assist students outside of class. The inspiration for this study came from the desire to know whether a professor’s knowledge, passion, and deliverance would increase a student’s learning abilities and increase the likelihood for students to encourage other peers to take the course.

My personality has changed a little bit since I was little, but I am still the same person that I was when I was little. My personality type is an ENFP so I am 22% Extravert, 9% intuitive, 41% feeling, and 44% perceiving, and it has been proven that you only change a little bit as you grow up. That is why Nurture plays a bigger role in our life. It is the

There are many things that I wonder about the future. To start off, I wonder what kind of job I would get. For instance, like I could be a doctor, vet, or maybe not a vet because I am allergic to cats, or a scientist, teacher, etc. Do you/ I finish college and graduate. Did my goals happen and come true? Do I make more and new friends and better ones? I also might explore all around the world to find new things that I haven’t before? I just am wondering so much and what is going to happen in the future. Do I follow my dreams of having a job, house, and a car? Is that too much to think of? Do I stay myself no matter what happens? I have so much to ask you, but when you read this in the future, I might remember writing

I get compliments all the time for being so reliable and optimistic. Although sometimes I do have bad days and I act total opposite of my normal personality traits, the people who surround me know it is very rare. Once again I want to be optimistic and believe everyone thanks I am reliable, outgoing, thoughtful. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or bad thing to believe, but it keeps me and everyone surrounding me very happy. You could say I liven up the room when I walk in.
