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.

For this I also took the challenge of learning everything I could and build on my knowledge. Throughout my life there has being several achievements that I am proud of just like any other person but their is one I am most proud of. It was a little before high school that I made a major decision that changed my life forever, my life took a new course.. It was one of those situations that you never expect, I had being accepted to this new program in the district called Early College Academy. This program gave the opportunity to students to be able to take high school classes while taking college credits, with the opportunity of getting their Associate’s Degree with their high school diploma. This was not just a great opportunity for me but it was also a gift, the district was paying for my higher education. As I set myself in this journey I grew up mentally and started to act as a college student, also, I learned to be on top of my classes and go a mile further in what I did. Although, I also encounter new struggles, for example, I was expected to pass a college level test when I was barely starting high

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 face little challenges every single day, but that's a part of life; that's just how things are. The most important things in my life are my grades, family, and friends, so naturally, my struggle involved one of these things. This year was particularly hard for me in school, I was a sophomore taking four AP classes. I thought it wouldn't be as bad as everyone said it was going to be - it turned out to be all right, except I had little free time. Because of this, I struggled in AP Language. I didn't give the subject enough attention and did not try hard enough. Three weeks before the end of the semester, I had an A-. On the very last day of the semester, my grade was a 95% A. In order to get it up to an A, I had to work with a great amount

What I consider to be my biggest accomplishment this past school year is finally persevering. What I mean by this is that when I wanted to drop my Spanish class because “it was too hard” or when I wanted to move home because “I did not like living in a small town” instead of doing either of these I persevered through these issues and overcame what felt impossible. Through both of these struggles, I learned that no matter what, you cannot give up on your goals and that everything that happens to you throughout your life is a lesson. With both of these lesson in mind, I have begun to persevere through my struggles and look for a positive side to all of life’s situations. These lessons also made me realize some things about myself. I never realized

Throughout high school, I made sure to challenge myself. I played all types of sport, joined various international school trips, became a member of Student Council and the National Honor Society, and ended my high school career with seven AP classes. Consequently I met the triumph of my dreams, with the influence of two magnificent people. My dad is the hardest working man I know, who has taught me determination and grit. My mom, a woman with her own personal learning struggles, taught me to never give up, to stand back up no matter how hard I fall, as failure is the ultimate way to gain experience and knowledge. I would not have succeeded the workload without

On paper, my life may appear to be an average, uneventful life with no real experiences to shape who I am as a person. However, I can firmly say that while I may still be young, high school has taught me many life lessons and helped form me to be who I am today. High school has been a series of highs and lows, with many successes and some failures. Before I reached high school, failure was a foreign concept to me, I had never truly experienced what it meant to not succeed at something in the first attempt. This was a hard lesson for me to learn and accept, but I can now see late in my senior year that these failures helped me grow into who I am today. Along with the growth brought on by failure, I also began to treasure my successes more, and feel a sense of accomplishment in my achievements.

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.

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

There were two things I took away from the article, the first being finding out the root cause of where self-concept stemmed from. For example, according to the article self-concept is first shaped by our mother; we respond back with decisions or judgments based on our initial experiences from our first caregiver. "A child who had an unresponsive mother will act obnoxious or withdrawn so that people will want to keep their distance. Those with consistently responsive mothers are confident and connect well with their peers" (Flora). Evidently, this has always been the case, specifically true in a sense where our self-perception would be a result from how our

Self-reflection; defined as the capacity to exercise introspection, and willingness to learn more about one's fundamental nature and purpose, has become a recognised aid in personal progression. Providing us with a subjective view on how we gain our accomplishments, equally, how we overcome obstacles faced in the process (Mezirow,1990). Zimmerman (2002) suggests it is necessary to analyse our behaviour to consider our strengths while attempting to understand our weaknesses. Given, when correctly utilised such practice encourages us to strive towards our desires. As a result of such studies, self-reflection is encouraged throughout society as an aid to support our advancement in a range of areas; personally; in education; business and mental health; cognitive learning therapy, are just some of the areas self-reflection is propagated. Notably, there can be an uncomfortable feeling around ‘self-reflection’ however; this is a process that on an unconscious level the human being applies thousands of times a day. Although, when one is not aware, they do so without being able to reason with their judgement, in turn, not providing the guidance necessary to apply ourselves appropriately. Therefore, many studies support the need to consciously reflect in multitudinous areas of our lives on a regular basis. (Grant, Franklin, & Langford, 2002). Throughout this essay I shall focus on self-reflection to plan my career, how when applied, I have found it beneficial in the past and
