Self Reflection
Section I: Introduction
My name is Theresa Laquita Williams. I was born in Palatka Florida but I now reside in Zion Illinois with my husband. I am in my second year at the College of Lake County. Upon completion of my Associate of Arts degree I am planning to transfer to a university to get my bachelorette degree in social work. When describing myself I would say that I have a strong love for people of all color. I am very friendly, outgoing, free hearted, creative, and a big dreamer. I am always thinking of ways to generate money. Some of my best qualities are helping people. The neighborhood kids call me Mrs. T. and I am always passing out little treats to the kids in the neighborhood. My worst qualities as a person

My mother was outgoing, very talented and excellent in everything she did. She was the lead singer in the church choir, head majorette, and she always could bring a positive into a negative situation. She was free hearted and double love for her grandchildren she was a wonderful mother. My dad was a hard worker he is the patriotic in the family Deacon in the church. My father is excellent in reciting poems and he also has a very good memory. Both parents come from a strong Christian background. There haven’t been must changing when it come to my father he is still going on strong but have became a great missionary. He was recently awarded Mr. Busy Bee of his church as well as Father of the Year. My mother passed away while I was in my second semester. When it come to the parenting style I would say they fall under Authoritative parenting they had reasonable demands but the demands were enforce always explain their rules and restrictions. They were sensitive to the needs of the children. I am the Authoritative parent. I am the one that is in control but I also have respect for my children it is most important that my children understand the reason for the rules and why they must comply. Even though I am flexible and demanding I do value their opinion but I am the one that is in charge. I am a single mother of three children two girls and a boy which are now grown adults. Their ages are thirty-three (33), thirty-two (32), and
While I appreciated that one of my peers provided feedback on my work, I feel that the feedback that was provided did not fulfill the assignment. My peer did not provide detailed feedback on my paper that could be adequately incorporated in my review and revisions. Most of the information that was provided as feedback were simply statements that reiterated what the prompt question was. Please see the below feedback provided to me by my peer.
With the activities centering primarily on perspective in Chapter 5, I found myself enjoying the text. When writing the lifeline, I saw the variety of experiences that have shaped who I am emerge. At first glance, it seems as though I have gone through the most transitions during the last 10 years of my life, moving to new states, starting new jobs, etc. However, taking a closer look, I realized the transitions before then were perhaps just from a different perspective. I married, had children, and started to establish my own identity separate from my parents. Overall, the pattern I see is one of continual growth, being open to new opportunities, and taking paths leading to expanded learning. Socially, my web showed numerous relationships; however, there were several dissonant ones that gave me pause. I realized I often spend a lot of energy on those relationships, which is draining. The importance of balancing the resonant and dissonant relationships became very clear in the exercise, giving me a broader perspective.
The areas of productiveness in this session for me included the paraphrasing and minimal encouragers. Throughout this session I felt that my paraphrasing was clear and concise. It allowed the client to think about what he had said, while being able to provide me with feedback and allowed for the conversation to flow naturally.
Providence when not divine ,it is foresight' was a thought that was always haunting me from childhood,little knowing that later in my life the writer in me is taking its shape.At times I thought why I could not solve problems academic as well as personal by using the same kind of thinking which we used when we created them ,as my greatest problem was what to do about all the things I couldn't do anything about.

Over the course of my lifetime in the real-world and the academic classroom, language has played a significant role. Attending Spanish classes throughout my high school tenure into my first semester at Quinnipiac University has enabled me to expand and develop my communication and reasoning skills in the Spanish language. With this genuine self-reflection, I will discuss my capabilities and experiences regarding language learning, regarding the Spanish language course
It would be amazing to be accepted into EcoQuest, and I hope that after you read this you think it would be amazing to have me in EcoQuest too. In the application form you asked everyone applying to comment on these things: our relationship with nature; our relationship with other students; our ability to work independently and make responsible decisions; how we maintain a healthy & active lifestyle; and our academic effort. In the following paragraphs I will address these items.
Once this course had commenced, I came up with the idea of painting a person’s reflection to represent the theme of self-image. Throughout the process of experimenting with different types of paint, I decided to work closely with watercolour as it was a media that I found enjoyable. I aimed for an experience where I developed the knowledge of working with watercolour, which became more realistic through researching the artists, John Lovett, Roisin Cure and David Stickel. Through investigating, it was explored how the use of different techniques such as; using bright colours, can cause the viewer to have an emotional response. These artists had a large impact on the
The purpose of this, my reflective essay, is to consider the journey I have taken to develop and create both the story research task and the story task. In the first task I was tasked to do an in-depth research on a topic that was trending or perceived as popular with a wide and varied audience. Accordingly, this would be a topic that could be seen to span a range of Social Media and established news sources. Then, in the second task, I was required to create a well-structured article based on the topic and crafted to meet the well-established journalistic standards of an established periodical, such as Time magazine. I now regret not adding an image to both support and establish the storyline. If correctly used it would have become
Whether you are the CEO of a huge corporation or you manage a small business, if you are in a leadership position at any company, one of the keys to your success as well as the success of the company is self-reflection. Often, this self-reflection starts with understanding why you do things a specific way and working to change your habits and attitude to allow yourself to be more successful.
As I just came out of our prayer centered worship night my heart cried out. These feelings will soon fade by the time this article actually post, but I feel like I need to reflect on it. I cried for the first time not about my lacking of faith, school, boys, or friendships, but the darkest parts of me that I try so hard to hide. Those demons that I have fought long to fight off, but sometimes they come creeping back. I reflect on the past week and the news of suicide that destroyed my small town.This is something that occurs daily,but when you can actually put a personal relationship to the name it changes things. I think of all the times the Lord pulled me from some dark places and how easily not so long ago those headlines could've been
The activities I completed during the course of this semester expanded my knowledge on teaching towards equity and diversity. Assignments such as the autobiographical essay and cultural experience report gave me an opportunity to document the things that I learned and will influence my performance as a future educator. Working with a group to explain our assigned part of the RME and traveling to Paterson for our community study report exposed me to different perspectives on how I want to identify as a teacher in the future. Learning how to apply diverse forms of literature such as the haiku showed me how to include diverse forms of learning into my class. The experiences from class developed my awareness and understanding of truly teaching
“Writing is something you do alone. Its a profession for introverts who want to tell you a story but don’t want to make eye contact while doing it” -John Green
Before this module, I was nervous about will I be able to get a placement. Or even how to apply for a placement? Although I had a general knowledge about CV, I didn’t know that CV must be tailored for each company you are applying for. I just had one CV which I used for everything. But now, because of Management Skills module, I am more relaxed as I have a basic understanding about how to apply, tailor CV so it meets the requirement of the business and what employee look for.
It’s my first week. I’m stressed, I’m anxious, I’m overwhelmed. Am I in over my head? I can’t help but think I don’t belong here, that I’ve made a mistake. It’s freshman year, and I’m two days in. I was so eager to get here, and after only two days of class, I start doubting myself. Know the feeling? I couldn’t wait to get away from home, I was ready for this, I could taste the freedom. And yet, here I am, jolted into self-reflection, questioning if I was truly ready. I had no idea what I wanted to study, what career I wanted to pursue, or even how to make it through the next week. My college transition truly tested my perseverance and resilience, however, it all paid off when I stepped foot in my first psychology classroom.
