Term Two Reflection They say time flies when you’re having fun, I guess that’s true….I was too busy messing around with my friends and slacking on my work, I didn’t realize that it was already time to start a new term. As I look back at my last term, I had some successes but I start to wish that I never slacked and messed around with my friends and actually did my work. Because if I did what I was supposed to do I would’ve been able to understand more of my work and get a lot more stuff done. This semester I plan to be more successful. During the term, I gained more knowledge about culture and different varieties of cultural perspectives. I learned how to write narratives, poems, and arguments about the topic. The embedded assessments in unit 2 definitely challenged me in many ways. Determining the meanings of words and phrases, writing arguments to support claims, and writing arguments with evidence and valid reasoning to support claims are also some different techniques I was able to learn during the last term. These are all strategies I am able to use further on in my education. …show more content…
I have a strong work ethic because I am productive and I work at a fast enough pace which helps me manage my time and complete my assignments. A weakness of mine is getting distracted easily. I love to communicate with my friends which is usually the reason why I am behind because I lose focus and stop paying attention. In Language Arts, writing an essay was another weakness of mine because we never got the opportunity to do peer responses and revise our work; but I was able to demonstrate my understanding of figurative language when it came to writing. Another strength of mine which helps me in Language Arts is time management because it helps me keep track of my work and complete assignments on time. These are some skills that are necessary for me to succeed
Over the past two weeks I have acquired 5 new schools. All of which are located in District 15. The DOE’s PreK For All program begins this school year, and thankfully, I was able to have the District 15 PreK director agree to implement the Sanford Harmony Program at her four sites. P.S. 676 has also agreed to implement during the 2015-2016 school year. I am in the process of rescheduling trainings that’s were scheduled during the first two weeks of school, due to the holidays. My first public school training on the new material will he held on 9/14/15. I am looking forward to trying out our new training PowerPoint and material.
This motivates and energizes me in way that I can’t really describe. One of the weaknesses that are listed I can directly relate to. Impatience with other people’s inefficiency is defiantly a weakness of mine. I recall a time when I was working with my brothers. We were trying to get cut pieces of wood loaded onto my dad’s trailer. I wanted to get it done fast so I was trying to organize my brothers to get it done quickly and I noticed that my younger brother was going at a very slow pace and would frequently stop and wait. I didn’t like what I was seeing so I let him know right away that he needed to pick up the slack. After some time I realized that he wasn’t going any faster than he was before and I was growing very impatient by then so I ended up yelling at him. I realize that I try to come up with the most efficient and effective ways of doing things and try to have other people do it the same way and if they don’t I can lose my temper and that is a very recognized characteristic of an ENTJ.
2) My second weakness would be time-management which is connected to my first weakness. I sometimes feel like I am able to squeeze tasks into a limited and unreasonable amount of time. This occasionally results in me being late for meetings
Considering that I want to go into the medical field when I’m older these skills will be very important. You can’t be scared of certain situations or let your emotions control you. If you do let your emotions control you it will be very difficult to complete every task needed of you. As you have strengths there are also weaknesses following. Some of my very weaknesses are decision making and physical wellness. First decision making is one of my worse skills because I always have to think of the outcomes if I choose a certain thing in my life. Sometimes I often feel very embroiled while thinking about the outcomes. There could possibly be good or bad consequences of anything that I choose to do in my life, even if it includes going to a party, studying with friends, or even getting into a relationship. All of these actions will have consequences no matter what you do. Physical wellness is another weak spot of mine because I have always had problems with my weight considering my past and everything that I have had to endure in my life. I have had many ups and downs and I and the kind of person that works out off and on all the time. Usually I try to work out in the summer, but I’m very remiss when it comes to working
My strengths and weaknesses as a student would honestly have to be to just stay quiet and not get many friends only have one or two the rest just keep as your acquaintance increase you would need to use them for anything else. Outside of school have as many as you would like but inside of school only have two more than that is too much and would tend to cause drama. That’s something I definitely learned the hard way and would most definitely say is my weakness, not knowing when to stop. As for a strength, it’s most likely having a creative mind and courage to keep going regardless of
I am flawed with many weaknesses but I am also equipped with many strengths as well. My strengths consist of being an organized and hardworking. Science and history are two areas I excel in. Science is one of my strengths because I can learn about a range of topics and be able to see how they all work in a sense. History is another strong point I have mostly due to the fact the past is
Coming into the TLCS CURAM program, I did not know what to expect. The potential changes abounded and I wasn’t sure what was possible in seven weeks. The charge of “Adapting the small groups to bridges” was difficult since I had minimal knowledge of bridges. I thought I would be reading through the small groups and updating the details, or that Dr. Miller would have specifics in mind. After a meeting with Dr. Miller, I learned that I had full rein over what I wanted to do with the project, and the idea to add an orientation session was born.
For new students, you have now been at RVEC for a month, how has your experience been thus far? What are your likes and dislikes? What are your favorite classes, your worst classes, and why? What is different about you experience at RVEC than it was at your previous school? Is RVEC what you heard or thought it was going to be?
During this semester, one of the biggest challenges I struggled with had to do with the way I was managing my time. If it was not for the time management project, I would have not realized how much time I waste spending time with friends and doing other activities instead of my studies. I discovered that this was the primary reason why my grades
My strengths are my self-confidence, determination, organization, and ability to prioritize. Balancing an overloaded school schedule, upwards of 24 credits in a semester, maintaining excellent grades, raising a toddler, and volunteering are demonstrative of my greater fortes. In terms of weaknesses, public speaking has always been difficult for me, as well as networking. I have branched outside of my comfort zone, engaged in volunteer opportunities, student organizations, and clubs as an effort to improve upon this.
The most hardest one to work on has to be peer resistance skills. I usually sometimes give up very easily, for example when I can’t get a problem right and I keep trying, I would give up and guess. I have been working on it about a couple weeks, and it had improved by doing problems until I know it is right.. I still believe peer resistance skills is my weakness since I usually keep going back in forth about giving up and not giving up over simple things. Usually when something very upsetting comes up, I usually get upset a long period of time. Coping skills is difficult to deal with too but easy to make a solution for. For example, you can knit, read, listen to music, talk to friends, and etc. These skills are really hard to handle but I think I could make them into my strengths if I work hard and believe in myself.
My strengths include living a highly motivated life style, having a high work ethic, dependable, flexible with hours, patient, understanding, and my communication skills. One of my weaknesses that I have been working toward is managing my time more efficiently. Since I have bought a planner and using it actively, I have been very efficient and have been managing my time effectively.
The strengths I have: being efficient and organize. I have to have everything a particular manner before I write, perform, or do almost any jobs. Occasionally this can cost me lots of time. The weaknesses that I have are a perfectionist and impatient at times. I was used to working at a substantially faster rate than those around me. Sharing information and interacting with others is when I learn best. Understanding my weaknesses assists me to plan methods to conquer them when I am doing tasks and socializing with others. I must be kinder to myself and less strict about matters being merely so. I also need to be more delicate and comprehensible of others who tend not to take up my perfectionist styles. I also should be patient with people who take longer time to work. Since I have got a tendency to delay works when I do not feel like doing anything, I, therefore, need to create a regular schedule with integrated rewards and times for learning and acquiring assignments done.
The unit that was the most significant for me in Language Arts this term was the Shakespeare term. I love to perform, so showcasing my abilities was a major plus in this term. I also love to analyze old literature, so I got to work on that as well. In Social Studies this term, the project that was most significant for me was the Industrial Revolution debate. I performed poorly on the last debate, so I saw this one as an opportunity to do better. I did slightly better on this one. My greatest challenge in LA this term were probably the annotations on The House On Mango Street. I did them pretty well in the end, but they took me about an hour per page, and sometimes we had over four pages to read and annotate. In Social Studies, my greatest challenge was probably the causal loop diagrams because it took me a while to understand them. As a speaker this term I feel I 've progressed a little bit more in classroom participation- things like reading out loud and participating in discussions. I 've also slightly improved at public speaking.
My greatest strength as a student is my perseverance. No matter the difficulty of an assignment, I choose to give it my all until the end. For example, a challenge I have faced several times as a student is working with uncooperative peers. With such a difficulty, I choose to stay calm and compromise ideas with others to solve the problems. Nevertheless, if the problem is not resolved I will continue to work on the assignment until it is complete with the my best work. I have noticed that I am not discouraged by such problems, but instead use these complications as learning points in my educational experience. However, considering my strength I have a promising weakness to balance out my work habit; I am a
