Self Reflection

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 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.

George MacDonald conveys an attractive soul struggle with God in his poem, Obedience, moreover, there is an awareness of the soul on a narrow road leading to divine light, as a faithful follower abides in God. Possible MacDonald recalled the scriptures, “The world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever” (1 John 2:17, English Standard Version), and in John 15:1-17, the vine and the branches, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me” (John 15:4, ESV).

“Father God I herewith ask and receive, by ‘the salvation faith of Jesus Christ availed redeeming and enthroning grace and truth’ of you Father God. My being led throughout my impending slavery to rulership transformation journey, by the indwelling Holy Spirit presence of you God’s leading and teaching. I thank you Father God, for your indwelling Holy Spirit’s leading and teaching me. To faithfully come out of every enslavement, and enter into the rulership. Of growing and extending to other increasing

In 2013, an estimated 24.6 million Americans aged twelve or older (9.4% of the population) had used an illicit drug in the past month (NIDA, 2015). In 2016, about 3.6 million adults aged 18 or older received any substance use treatment in the past year, representing 1.5 percent of adults (SAMHSA, 2017). These numbers are not even taking into account any type of behavior addiction such as shopping, gambling, social media, etc. Strong of these numbers, as counselors we can see the importance to gain knowledge about drug and behavior addiction and its process. In order to have a better understanding of the process of change, we have been assigned to abstain from a substance or a behavior for a period of 15 weeks and to reflect about it.

The first chapter, Following Hard after God, talks about how though we try to stay on the right course and follow God, there are many distractions in today’s world that can make us veer from the path. The only reason that makes us want to pursue God is that He gave us the urge to do so. God is a Person, and in the deep of His mighty nature He thinks, wills, enjoys, feels, loves, desires and suffers as any other person may. In making Himself known to us He stays by the familiar pattern of personality. He communicates with us through the avenues of our minds, our wills and our emotions. We must take personal responsibility for seeking Christ, and not rely on pastors and teachers. The lack of mighty longing after God has brought us to our present low estate. The stiff and wooden quality about our religious lives is a result of our lack of holy desire. Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted.

This is a great verse of Scripture to lift the heart in praise and worship of God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It make me think of the Triune Godhead, and how it is for our benefit that God sent Jesus to atone for our sins, break down the barrio that separates us from Him, not only did Jesus Christ carry out the mission that God ordained; He sent the Holy Spirit to keep us, guide us in all that Jesus had taught, and that God’s will be done.

Self-reflection is one of the most challenging aspects of writing. Rationalizing why I deserve the Top Graduate award is a humbling task, but I feel as though I can present a strong argument. Consequently, the goal of this essay is to inform the board of my journey at Park University. My selection to compete for this award has been an honor in itself, and will do my best to give you my credentials. However, before I begin, I will lay out a concise background on myself to help you understand a little about who I am.

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

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

While many profess not to care what others think, we are, in the end, creatures who want and need to fit into a social universe. The ability to intuit how people see us and how we communicate with others is what enables us to authentically form relationships. Interpersonal communication is a “distinctive transactional form of human communication involving mutual influence, usually for the purpose of managing relationships” (Beebe, Beebe, Redmond, Geerinck, & Wiseman-Salem, 2015). By exploring the strengths and weaknesses of my communication skills, it will enable me to learn more about myself which in turn can positively influence my relationships in both personal and professional settings.

In the summer of 2015, I interned at the Office of Community and Population Health at Montefiore Hospital. My job was to support the Project Manager with the various projects they were working on by assisting with data collection and conducting research. I helped gather research regarding the healthy food options in local delis in the Bronx. This was a beneficial research experience for me because I was able to discover my interest in public health and eventually, I chose community health to be my major. This internship allowed me to experience conducting research by connecting with the community directly, as well as developing analytical skills.

Remember that time you felt passionately about something. An exciting desire to do or be something of your pure uninfluenced interest. Now do you also recall that time of doubt and criticism of yourself? But why? Why are we so quick to dissolve our own dreams and aspirations? In three key points, I will attempt to decipher this psychological anomaly called self-limitation and we can overcome its filters. Why this topic is important to me is because it is something I certainly struggle with and it is something we all have experienced. It is what holds us from becoming more than we can be and more than we want to be, which end the end is happy.

From the ripe age of four years old, I was told I was smart. I had just tested out of Kindergarten 5 which was a shock for my teachers as they thought that because of my age I was not emotionally ready. Because of this line of thinking, the administrators contemplated on whether or not to let me skip to first grade. My parents were furious and even put me in a new school for a little bit. However, eventually the school consented because I did after all pass the test. From then on, I knew I had something to prove. I had to prove that my age was not a determining factor on whether or not I would continue to prosper academically. It was from that moment on, I would always be held to a higher standard academically. It was at the moment my journey began.
