The Problem Of 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 chose to base my studies on J because we shared a lot in common; we are both Christians living in a predominantly Muslim country. He is eleven years old. His parents are Jordan nationals who have lived in Bahrain for at least two years. J goes to school at Naseem International School where I work. The school offers PYP programs. Lessons are conducted in English; however, Arabic lessons are also offered per week. Majority of kids in this school are Muslims most of whom are Bahrainis. Other nationalities making the student population are Saudis, Lebanese, Jordanians, few South Africans, and other Arabian Gulf countries. Teachers are a mixture of nationalities. Some of them are Arabs, others South Africans, while some are Europeans.

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.

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.

Hi Colleen, You have explained about self-reflection in nutshell. Nice post. I was fortunate enough to go to library and read journaling in autobiography of the historians and leaders of the country in school age. The single bit of their message used to be thought provoking and enriched with practical values in human life. Reading of those literature taught me to be disciplined and led me to travel in pathway to success. You mentioned that Journaling is one of the great way to do self-reflection. That is true, everyone might have experienced the same. I encourage the journaling for the younger ones to begin with, so that self-realization, actualization take place to identify our strength and weakness in difficult times. Personal and professional

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

My insights on cultures in the United States have changed quite a bit as a result of my studies this semester. I have a much greater understanding of ethnic groups, gender and sexuality issues, religions, and poverty. My new knowledge base will help me as I become more culturally competent and, therefore, more responsive to my future clients. I am anxious to incorporate my new understandings into my classroom and hopefully in a position as a school counselor.

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.

Wherever there are people, there will be problems. Often times, the real problem lies underneath a myriad of more complicated issues. Only by discovering the actual dilemma, can an individual address the pervading issue. Through an appealing narrative of a person facing real life difficulties in his personal and professional life, The Arbinger Institute bring to light the undeniable way people betray their true self and undermine their own success. Through personal self-examination and application of the principles presented in this book, I have been able to make the necessary adjustments to view others appropriately.

I have been asked to write this essay as part of my assessment for the ILM Level 3 course that I am undertaking. This essay is to show my understanding of Leadership; the different styles of leadership and the effects it can have on staff. I am currently not supervising any members of staff but I aim to show how I have led in different situations. I am completing this course for my own personal development, as I would like to progress further in my career, now that my children are older.

The ingredients that form the foundation for human development, according to the relational developmental systems paradigm, are positive relationships with the divine, others and the world. Using the Christian doctrine of the Trinity as a model for God's ideal plan for human nature, this model integrates theological principles with developmental science and psychology to demonstrate a framework of human development that encompasses the many stages of life from infancy to late adulthood.

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
