Self Analysis Reflection Paper

Erik Erikson composed a theory of psychological development that was composed of eight stages. Erikson’s theory focuses on how personalities evolve throughout life as a result of the interaction between biologically based maturation and the demands of society. According to Erikson, “Each stage of human development presents its characteristic crises. Coping well with each crisis makes an individual better prepared to cope with the next.” (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2013, p. 314) According to Erikson’s eight stages of development, I have only been through six of the eight stages.

The presentation indicates the results of PAMS, which reflects to my own, and others’ perceptions towards my management skills. To be honest, before attending this class, I am very proud of my past performance and even self-definite to be a manager at the age of twenty-three, and as my boss/father would say, that I am "being the right person doing right things and in right ways", though most often trying to be as humble as possible while wearing workout clothes to our small office in DTC. However, after finishing the Personal Assessment of Management Skills (PAMS), as well as comparing the result with the reports from the PAMS Associates (one current employee and one past coworker/good friend for the survey) and with the average of the

Throughout this year in college an important challenge I faced was getting through the two semesters of Physics that I needed to fulfill my pre-med requirements. Having last taken physics freshman year in high school and only covered very elementary material, I realized very early on in my first semester that this was going to be my most difficult and time-consuming class. As a result of lacking a solid background of physics from high school, I began going to office hours two to three times a week and staying on top of the material. I then began to give myself more than enough time to complete assignments so that I could go to office hours and conceptually understand difficult concepts such as Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, electrical circuits,

This portfolio shows how I have grown as both a reader and a writer; enhancing my research skills and be able to convey them in my own words. As a reader and researcher, I was able to find the evidence through research I was looking for to support my argument. When I start off writing, I first start to write by simply answering the questions, then I slowly add on to those answers furthering my statements. By going through my own notes, evidence, even personal experience to provide a stronger argument. I also really rely on my reader's interest, bringing up interesting facts about the topic that many might not know to keep my readers attention. I also ensure these interesting facts stay on topic, but are interesting enough for the reader to

I have used the feedback to deepen my learning and improved the learning product I submitted by listing and understanding what my instructor have given me through our discussion about the homework assignments. I have taken that information constructively to make sure that the paper I will be submitting is concise and sound conveying the information properly in the APA format making the submitting assignment free from grammatical errors to best of my ability. For example; the instructor and I discussed about submitting an APA style paper with in-text citation and properly referencing my paper. This discussion helped me more conscious and aware about submitting my writing assignments in the APA format. Also, the discussion helped me to organized and structure my paper given it a consistent flow throughout the paper.

First, the physical self on the medicine wheel consists of how well one is meeting their physical needs. Fulfilling these needs helps to maintain a healthy body and consist of adequate oxygen/air quality, water, food, exercise, rest/sleep, shelter, and clothing. (Eden & Golanty, 2004; Mussel, 2005). Personally, due to where I live and my socioeconomic status I can fulfill these needs. However, I do not because it is difficult to find balance in my life. On most days I do not consume enough nutritious food or drink enough water. Instead, because it is available, I eat a lot of junk food which causes me a lack of energy throughout my day. Another deficiency that affects my energy level is my lack of sleep. I get enough rest throughout the

I am now approaching the conclusion of my college career and starting to adjust to work life. This is a period of self-reflection and an attempt to put everything I learned into perspective. During this period of my life, I have been constantly thinking and contemplating my future. I feel very anxious yet nervous during this time while I am adjusting to this new stage of my life. When I was in High school my life was very structured, because I could be very dependent on peoples help and I obviously still lived with my family. When I went to college, I had to break away from that feeling of dependency and start the adjusting to adulthood. In college there was more responsibility and I started to become more independent. This was a crucial step in my life but choosing a career is going to be an even bigger step. It is a bigger step because; I have to start structuring my career goals and family goal for the future. At this moment all I can think about is my career, and how I can I keep improving myself for work life.

My journey through, Religion and Personal growth was very informative, insightful, increased my perception, and I did a lot of self-reflection while taking this course. I experienced the greatest learning starting with what religion meant. I always felt God’s presence when I prayed however, learning that religion is the fear and awe one feels in the presence of God’s sprit was an amazing moment for me. I now understood why worshiping God had such a profound effect on me since childhood. If you sincerely from your heart give God love he always love you in return.

When I came along, we were comfortably in the Edith Street home. By Black standards of the time I lived in relative luxury, though I never had my own room, and slept on the pullout couch in the living room most of the time I was growing up.

The concept that one person is better than another based on unchangeable characteristics is a frivolous yet extremely prevalent doctrine that is accepted and conserved by a great number in our society. Race, class, sexuality and gender all determine ones privilege and power which, for me, has had a direct link to my own self worth. I have categorized myself habitually and have either increased or decreased my self confidence in accordance to my class, gender, sexuality, and race.

I have had the opportunity to meet people of many different backgrounds. In this paper, I will talk about two individuals with whom I had the pleasure of working with as a case manager at a behavioral health agency in the Greater New Orleans area. Before I go into detail about my experiences, I think it would be important to identify myself. I am a black female, in my early twenties who identifies as heterosexual. I also do not have any mental or physical challenges and grew up an upper middle-class family. Working in a diverse community has impacted my perspectives of people and groups in a positive way that has allowed me to be more aware and respectful of people that are different than me.

“Independent and free thinking takes life long commitment for each of us. When facing contradictions and misunderstanding, just remember we can always make room and coffee for all of us.”

In high school, countless obstacles are thrown your way that can decrease motivation, happiness, and overall mental well-being. Jobs, dating, friendships, and other high school normalities can have a substantial impact on a student’s life as well as their motivation to maintain favorable grades and perform well in extracurriculars. These have the power to diminish a person’s self-esteem and even induce harmful tendencies or thoughts. In response to these unfortunate realities, I continued to remind myself of those who built me up during my life as well as those who tried to bring me down. This mentality helped keep myself on track with where I desired to be when I graduated. During the process, I even learned that people or events that damage or pain you, can become one of your greatest motivators.
