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.

“The disciples were afraid of their former persecutor and would not let this strongly gifted new Christian join them” (Stevens, R. Paul) Often in our neighborhoods, we see non believers as lost people.

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.

Overall, I would classify myself as a generally healthy person. After going through the reading from the chapter, I can identify that some of these healthy characteristics are benefits of my environment and family history, while others have been established based off of promoting personal health. I know I personally avoid risk behaviors whenever possible, including smoking, using drugs, eating unhealthy foods, and consuming alcohol. Moreover, I take many preventative measures thanks to having a health education and knowing my family history, such as performing breast cancer checks and wearing sunblock daily.

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

Early in the education process in becoming a clinician, I learned that understanding my own values and morals as well as my own biases are important in order to clearly conceptualize a client. I found it important to be self-aware of how the developmental, cultural, and familial aspects of my own life impacted my skills as a clinician. Working with adults, I felt I was able to decipher from my own views that I carried from those of my clients. I was at ease understanding that our views may be different but neither one view was wrong. Engaging in psychotherapy with children demanded a different type of emotional strength in me than when doing therapy with adults. I felt that my strengths and weaknesses as a clinician shined through

During the duration of this course and the numerous discussions initiated in lecture, I have been able to utilize the concepts proposed in class to further my intellectual development and thinking. While many concepts have been discussed in class, the topic of secondary witnessing was the one I could relate to the most. Just like Art Spiegelman, I am a second-generation witness to my father's life post-Vietnam war. I am a part of the generation that will continue to transmit my father's war stories to future generations. I am witness to the Vietnam war in terms of how it affected survivors, such as my father, even though I didn't live through that experience myself, tying in the concept of post-memory as well.

Looking back on my past work a few prominent subjects are very apparent to me now, such as; the self-portrait, the autobiographical in art, performance and the body. My work’s autobiographical in the sense that it’s been inspired by my experiences and influenced by my environment and social surroundings. The self-portrait is a re-occurring theme in and there are works that I’ve made where I was literally in the work, acting as the performer or artist. These are themes I spent a great deal of time researching for my thesis artwork titled: Open Studio: A Phase in Six Years of my Art Education, which was exhibited at the culmination of my MFA program in 2014, which was a life-sized reproduction of my graduate studio space and a true-to-scale wax self-portrait of myself occupying the space.

I always thought of myself as a fairly talented writer. Throughout the years from elementary school to highschool I have always found it easy to write. With that in mind, I came into this class thinking that I was gonna float right through it and it would be easy. I never had though about how much more there was to learn and how much I could improve my writing. I have learned many valuable skills such as researching credible information, using critical thinking and rhetorical strategy, writing mechanics, analyzing and disproving counter-arguments, addressing specific audiences, and using peer editing in my writing process. With my progress throughout this class, I have developed into an exceptional writer which will

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

My first week at university was a stressful one, not only because I had to come to grips with my new study units , but because I was thrown a huge curveball via my Research and Professional Development (RPD) seminar. Being told that I had to stand up in front of a group of people I didn’t know and talk about myself was terrifying. I was anxious when I arrived at the seminar, and I was nervous about what the other students would think of my presentation. However, I volunteered to go third so that I could get it over and done with. Looking back now, I feel this was a mistake . During my presentation, I spoke too fast and my voice was shaky, which obviously told the class I was nervous. Also, my presentation didn’t last very long, and I seemed to focus more on my weaknesses than strengths, which would not be good if I used this presentation for a job interview. I believe volunteering to give my presentation early was a mistake because the others around me had the chance to listen to multiple presentations, hear the feedback given and were then able to improve their presentations during the class.

“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.
