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.

This is my end of year grade 12 culminating self protariate. The project was to create two self portraits but to have them on one page. Initially, I did not expect myself to finish before school ended due to how long it took me to complete it last year. But by reflecting on what happened last year with my lack of time I was able to change my techniques up to fit the time span.

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.

I love to help others win. I love watching others have success and helping to contribute to that success. I work well and cooperate with others. In my current position I occasionally face opposition and conflicts on how a process should be carried out. If my idea is not implemented and another idea works better I can get behind it one hundred percent. I have not always been this way, but I have learned to let matters slide that do not really matter one way or another. I promote the best possible outcome for everyone involved. I work with many different elements of our organization; moreover, I interact with many different types of people and personalities. I cooperate well with everyone, and I have been told this by many people on multiple occasions. I believe this is a strength that will propel me to succeed in any role.

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.

I display a strong dedication and commitment to excellence. I am able to use my expertise to raise the quality and quantity of work. I am consistent in my work performance and accomplishment. I make some errors, but I always try to correct them and learn from the mistakes. I work hard to improve quality in my work.

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.

This past semester in Modern III, I have found different things about myself in terms of shifting my movement vocabulary into something new. The somatic work in the beginning of class has allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and experience something new. Imagination has been a key factor in this. Three different goals that I have been working on this past semester have been keeping my abdominals engaged, my ribs to soften always, and allowing my transitions to flow smoother. As I mentioned in my midterm self-evaluation, I believe that I have come a far way from the beginning in the semester until now.

I’m reliable, honest and conscientious. I complete work that has been given to me and do not leave it for others to pick up. I put 100% effort into any task given to me. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and spending time with people, listening and demonstrating a genuine care and interest in their wants and needs.

For the purposes of this reflective piece, I have chosen to adopt Gibbs reflective cycle. Gibbs conceptualises the reflective process as a cycle which begins and culminates in the development of an action plan for future practice. Gibbs (1988). I personally felt that Gibbs offered a more comprehensive technique than Kolb, for example, who has been criticised for being too narrow and underdeveloped (Heron & Pym, 1974). Referring to the Kolb Cycle, Graham Gibbs, argued: "It is not enough just to do, and neither is it enough just to think. Nor is it enough simply to do and think. Learning from experience must involve linking the doing and the thinking." Gibbs (1988).

As a learner in business school, I have steadily found the appropriate way to learn about master of commerce and even in my future career after signing up for the course in MGMT-5050, that is, throughout self-regulatory processes. According to Zimmerman (2000), self-regulation is a cyclical process and it indicates individual’s ability to formulate thought, feeling and actions that result in gaining individual’s goals utilizing some information that an individual has acquired from previous performances. Since I was a science student in my Bachelor degree, it is completely difficult for me to study in a new area in Master of commerce and I was not sure how to study. However, throughout taking compulsory course in MGMT-5050 I have learned the business-based case analysis from others successes and failures in CAWs and the approaches to learn in business from the perspective of teams and competitive advantages in SDWs. I would like to use Zimmerman (2002) perspective as references and my experiences combine with Gibbs’ reflective cycle (1988) or Johari Window (Luft & Ingham 1955) to demonstrate an informed view of my learning to date and my development for the future.

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

Peoples appearances in todays society is based upon the clothes they decided to wear that morning, the hairstyle they spent hours on doing and the hours that they would never get back deciding what pattern would look cute to wear on the outside of their skin, bedazzled with sterling silver. With no anticipation of being stereotyped people continuously repeat these actions in the purpose of self satisfaction or expression. The two articles referred to in this essay provides personal experiences of the causes in self reflection decisions in addition to a medical perspective on why sometimes the risk outweighs the rewards.

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.
