Scout Reflection

In When We Fight, We Win by Greg Jobin-Leeds it says that “comparison can block compassion both for others and for ourselves.” I agree with such statement; I think that listening is a skill you learn throughout time. One can pretend to listen without really getting anything out of the conversation that one is having with that other person. In the Compassionate Listening workshop, I got to do it with Rachel Kurland and I sit and listened to her talking about the moment her friend treason her. I tried to understand her plight, why would she not cut that friendship off, I understood she loved her friend, however, I could not resist bringing my biases to our conversation. I asked myself, why is Rachel, such a good, loving, and smart person,

Chris McCandless, the subject of Jon Krakauer in Into the Wild, was not insensible or ill-equipped, but rather he was going out into the wild to locate the genuine importance of life and to perceive what it resembled to live out in the wild all alone. Chris was an incredible good example for children the whole way across the nation; since he was attempting to experience his fantasy and do what he believed was appropriate in the wild and would not tune in to what anybody instructed him to do. Chris McCandless was an adoring and minding individual who esteemed for all creation and needed to make tracks in an opposite direction from the general public and live allowed to locate the significance of life.

I have been reflecting over the Battle of Shiloh for about a week now, and I think that I can finally write my feelings. This battle is very important in the war so far. I am extremely proud of my soldiers for fighting this surprise attack. Man, none of us were expecting it! I was such a proud general those 2 days. My men fought as hard as they could, but unfortunately some people have to die. Since I have had a lot of time to think over this battle, I have come to the conclusion that this battle is the most important so far.

Reflection is a major factor in "developing self-awareness" to improve services provided to everyone around me, this is to develop my own understanding in realising the good and bad made previously. Moving forward with a better understanding, as well as rectifying the mistake whilst recognizing the good points, (Horton-Deutsch and Sherwood, 2008).

I do not recall learning about reflective practice in my undergraduate studies. Reflective practice according to Barbour (2013), “is the cyclic process of internally examining and exploring an issue of concern, triggered by an experience, which creates and clarifies meaning in terms of self, existing knowledge, and experience; resulting in a changed conceptual perceptive and practice” (p. 7). According to Barbour (2013), reflective process has many positive outcomes to help guide the nurse to become an expert nurse that can make on the spot decisions that do not interrupt patient care. I feel that reflective practice would have been beneficial to help guide me from a student nurse to a practicing nurse with critical thinking skills.

Since I was unable to help the children with their understanding of the new concept, I spent extra time going over it with them again. The students began to connect previous knowledge to the new concept using descriptive words, sensory words and emotions. As they worked in groups, they were able to think up different points of view for different characters. They played with creativity while giving human characteristic to objects. Students showed a good understanding of the material. One group in my first class gave me a great idea. As they stood up to share the point of view of a specific object, they did not tell us what object they had until the end of their writing. This made the class guess what the object was. I noticed all the students attention became more focused on what they were saying as their brains were churning. Since this was such a fun experience, I decided to continue it with my next couple classes. I was pleased with the outcome of the second lesson and how much the class not only learned from this lesson, but also how much fun they had doing

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the contribution of reflective practice for clinical nursing. Reflection has been defined as a way for individuals to “capture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate” (Boud et al 1985: 19)

When I applied to volunteer at Camp PALS, I had no idea how much my life could change in one week. PALS is a camp for young adults with down syndrome, but it is so much more. It provides an immersive experience where individuals with down syndrome and their peers can grow and create transformative friendships. PALS exceeded my expectations and ignited my passion to work with people who have special needs.

During my time at ALC, I’ve learned a lot from my peers. Prior to coming to this course, I thought I had a good understanding of how I projected the attributes and competencies of a good NCO on subordinates, peers, and my leadership. However, after discussions with my classmates about the qualities of a leader, seeing how they react in different situations, and the feedback I received from my peers about my performance has shown me a lot of areas that I can improve in as a leader.

My ITO team have allocated slots at Camp Buehring IOT support driver's training for 176th ENG BDE. However, this afternoon only 11 personnel showed up out of the 20 slots reserved. Attached, I've highlighted the reminder scheduled training please, provide command emphasis to ensure these seat are being utilized by the designated personnel.

One idea is that prior to a lesson, I would have them write down everything they have heard, or think they know about that topic. For example, if I am teaching about the American Revolution, I would have them make a list of everything they know, or think they know, about the topic. They will keep their lists, and as we go through the material, they can elaborate and add details. Also, they can rule out any myths or misinformation they have written down on their list. At the end of the unit, they will make a new list from memory and see how much they have learned. Another activity for the same topic, the American Revolution or another historic event, is to have them write an essay about the significance of that event on their current life.

As we begin to wrap up this semester, I reflect on all the learning and achievements I have obtained thus far in the program. Throughout this semester, my communication and relational capacity has grown, driving me to break out of my comfort shell. At the beginning of this year I had wrote a letter to myself, outlining three goals that I wanted to achieve. The three goals were: work with a palliative client, become more assertive, and to integrate family care into my practice. I began the semester off in acute care, on the medical floor. During the second part of the semester, I was assigned to be in the first group of students to start the Trail Outreach Nursing. My new placement has created a new goal of increasing my communication

Mayville Middle School has provided me with many opportunities to be knowledgeable, self reliant and confident.  One opportunity that had a personal impact for me was the week at Camp Anokijig in sixth grade.  Camp Anokijig helped me learn and understand important life lessons such as, living without my parents, keeping a schedule, eating,  and  taking care of myself.

After revision and revision I perfected my think aloud lesson plan and was very confident going into this lesson and was very pleased with the outcome! I feel as though the students learned from my lesson in many ways. I know they learned from this lesson because they were using sentences with the new words they learned about. They also were telling other friends who did not get to participate in the activity about frogs and the facts they learned! It was awesome!
