Self-Reflection

I have been serving in the Army for 18 years. I did four years in the Marines. I am currently working in Fort Drum as a Sergeant Major. My job is Infantry.

To tackle my goals this semester I needed to have a clear focus. Tackling my goals this semester has made me a stronger dancer. From the start of the semester, I have wanted to work on the continuation of my goals from the previous semester. In each class I have worked on finding ways to work on my goals anyway possible. Reflecting my work from the beginning of the semester until now, I have seen myself wanting to be more dedicated to my goals each class. The goals I had for the semester helped me to progress and I continue to work on the ones I struggle with. By having a strong work ethic and clear focus I have had a chance to work on all my main goals throughout the semester: musicality, fluidity, tension, staying lifted in the core, and confidence.

I got a 39 within UCLA Loneliness Scale on the textbook and I was surprised with my result because I did not know that my score has been this higher compared to other men scale which is average of 32. I did not feel any anxiety and fear when I took this scale in the textbook because I feel very confident with myself and relationships with other people. I always trying to respect other people during the conversations nor hanging out with them during a free time because they were always respect me as well all the time. Furthermore, I always listen to other people who needs advice because I want to help them with my experiences. Therefore, they could think that other people have hard times just like anybody else and it could happen to be anytime.

I chose to base my studies on J because we shared a lot in common; we are both Christians living in a predominantly Muslim country. He is eleven years old. His parents are Jordan nationals who have lived in Bahrain for at least two years. J goes to school at Naseem International School where I work. The school offers PYP programs. Lessons are conducted in English; however, Arabic lessons are also offered per week. Majority of kids in this school are Muslims most of whom are Bahrainis. Other nationalities making the student population are Saudis, Lebanese, Jordanians, few South Africans, and other Arabian Gulf countries. Teachers are a mixture of nationalities. Some of them are Arabs, others South Africans, while some are Europeans.

Since have taken an interest in this job I started researching. Growing up in Texas, we were always very supportive of the military. However, I never really knew what it meant until I started researching and figuring out what makes America so strong. All the story's lead back to the military. What I learned from story's people from the military have told , and are still telling is that serving your country can leave a legacy. It can also impact your country forever, which is very clear. The most shocking thing that I discovered was that people would not say that they did it for personal gain but for the people. It shows the dedication that they have to this country, and it is

I am currently a student at the University of Texas at San Antonio for almost a whole semester now. I came to this school straight out of high school, not knowing what I was getting myself into. During my high school years, I was good at every subject except my writing class. Coming to UTSA, I knew I was going to struggle in my writing class, but that didn’t discourage me from not trying my best in the course. Going through the English program, I realized that I have some strengths and weaknesses in the class, and it encouraged me to do better. The essays I have written for this class demonstrate that I have developed a strong thesis, organization skills, and detail; however, I still need to improve on grammar, keeping the POV, and citing.

I am a currently a veteran of the United States Navy. I served on active duty for 12 years. During my 12 years of service, I earned an Bachelor’s of Science in Healthcare Management through Southern Illinois University. While I was in the military I had the opportunity to be the president of the Morale Welfare and Recreation program for my command. One of the most rewarding collateral duties I was a part of. While on deployment I coordinated parties, movie nights, game nights and other fun things to help boost morale. I really enjoyed seeing people interact and have an enjoyable time with their military family while away from their real family.

Hi Colleen, You have explained about self-reflection in nutshell. Nice post. I was fortunate enough to go to library and read journaling in autobiography of the historians and leaders of the country in school age. The single bit of their message used to be thought provoking and enriched with practical values in human life. Reading of those literature taught me to be disciplined and led me to travel in pathway to success. You mentioned that Journaling is one of the great way to do self-reflection. That is true, everyone might have experienced the same. I encourage the journaling for the younger ones to begin with, so that self-realization, actualization take place to identify our strength and weakness in difficult times. Personal and professional

I have had the opportunity in the military to develop a diverse range of career skills and work experience. Upon entering the military, I knew I had one goal, and that was to help Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airmen. After graduation from residency in 2010, I had many incredible opportunities

Social work education enables professionals to explain and define clients’ experiences, problems, and issues. The levels are micro, mezzo, and macro. For example, the micro level consists of age, gender, income, health, spirituality, emotions, and cognitions. The mezzo level includes neighbors, co-workers, local economy, resources, church, family, and work. The macro level refers to politics, economics, community, culture values, history, government services and resources, discrimination, and oppression (Rogers, 2016). Social workers use these levels to conceptualize clients’ problems (Rogers, 2016). These external analysis, overlaps and interact with each

I joined the Active Duty Air force back in 2006. Since then my experience with the military has led me to encounter many different people coming from all parts of the world. I have deployed to Djibouti, Africa where I had to be respectful of that counties customs and courtesies as well as work cohesively with all branches of the military because it was a combined joint-task base. As a dental assistant in the Air Force Reserves I became experienced within a continually laborious, multi-specialty military dental facility while demonstrating a welcoming and kind attitude. I’ve served many patients from prisoners to Generals and I treat all of my patients with care and respect.

I have been blessed to have led a highly fulfilling career over the past 22 years. The Air Force’s standards of conduct and performance have helped me mature into an adult while creating lasting memories along the way. I have had the opportunity to make significant contributions to my country that offer a sense of pride and personal achievement. My current duties allow me to directly contribute to the Air Force and Joint arena on an almost daily basis. Joining the Air Force helped me to realize I had undertaken a task bigger than myself.

During the presentation, the team adapted the demonstration method inside of welcoming, did not perform encouragement for the audience to join the movie night and help out the charity. The plain slides style did not provide secure engagement and visual appeal. Ticketing system explanation was made

I plan to develop rapport with myself and work on learning how to avoid seeing crises as insurmountable problems, which refers to a person’s being able to accept the fact that highly stressful events happen, but you must learn how you can change the way you interpret and respond to these highly stressful events and learn to develop certain characteristic to overcome and improve your physical and mental abilities for future predicaments. My research study showed that working with yourself. (The American Psychological Association, Para.4)

“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure” by Colin Powell. This school year, I have my ups and downs both academically and personally, from taking many tests like the AP exams, and SAT, to some of my family members dying. Both of these were such hard activities that I had to go through. This year, I have become a better person, both inside and outside of school, and improved my character from all the events that have happened.
