Week1 Week 1 Reflection

with going back to school. Because I knew, firsthand, how important a degree was, I

Bible also. I became a Christian, and I was baptized at seven years old. My minister at the time, Charles

To begin this reflection essay I just want to say that this year has been ups and downs like a relationship. I start off on a good path then I go in reverse like driving a car. I’m not trying to be lyrical I’m trying to be rhetorical if you know what I mean. In the beginning of the year I’ve struggled with academic vocabulary, sentence fragments and much more that I can’t possibly remember. In fact, I got through it like a maze so lost In the beginning but at the end feeling accomplished. Capitalizing my I’s was one of the struggles I always had. Now It Isn’t a big deal for me.

Out of the depths of pain and sorrow, the believer's heart cries out: "I trust in you, O Lord: 'I say, you are my God."' (Psalms

As a white Australian with Anglo-Saxon heritage, I truly believed that I had no race, ethnicity or culture. These were only things that people of colour and foreign languages had. In the first tutorial I could not articulate whom I was, where I had come from or why I didn’t completely understand anyone who was not as I was. I have no connection with religion or spiritual matters making it extremely difficult to understand the impact of what happened when there was a culture here in Australia before white culture dispossessed them. My life previous to being asked the question ‘Who am I?’ I would have responded saying I was ‘normal’. Even writing this reflection was difficult to begin because I have never really

This past week was a very important week, as my group and I filmed most of our sports documentary scenes. And although we have not finished yet, I think we as a group were more effective and focused on our work than we were last week. Before we started filming, I reserved two different locations for my group: the outside field on Monday, and a classroom on Tuesday. I did this after talking with them and making sure that this would be in their interest. When I brought my soccer ball the next day, I was expecting that we would get the whole class period to film. That didn’t happen, and I was reminded once again that you should always plan for setbacks. In addition to reserving space and bringing equipment, I explained Newton’s Laws of Motion

This week I spoke with Ms. Ward about getting re-appraised since I got a “1” for not “Checking for Understanding” and a “2” for “Students actively participating in lessons activities” even though every child actively participated minus the child that was in a desk away from his classmates for some minutes due to his behavior (we just did not have dialogue back and forth as we would have if it were a review or lesson being taught since they were taking a test.) In addition to that, we already reviewed the content that we were being tested on and it was sent home to study before that day (please view the message that was forwarded to you by Ms. Ward and is also attached to this message.) As a result, she decided

I was not able to earn a grade above 90 because my reminiscence lacks description and I focused more on plot rather than imagery. First, throughout the story, I did not focus on one situation but have multiple plots. “ My best friend, who is one of the experienced football player” (line 5). Was referred in the beginning of my story, then I transitioned the story to myself, “ I was ready and determined to grab the ball.” Instead of giving background information about my friend, I can focus more on one moment. Next, in the middle of my story, I did not have enough description. “ As we continued to practice, I grew comfortable with one handed catch, so I decided to try something more extreme” (line 7-8). I could add more description about what

Communication, whether in the written or verbal form, has always been an enigma to me, especially when it came down to scientific communications. However, this module trains us to do just that. Basic structures of an essay as well as the requirements for a good speech - such as confidence and an interesting starter - has helped enhance my abilities at conveying ideas. The module also teaches me how choice words can affect what I am trying to express as well as the tone in which I adopt. It also emphasizes on techniques used to communicate scientific concepts and findings in an entertaining manner.

During this week, I failed to learn much from the physical ASAM 100 class since I was not feeling well on Tuesday and Thursday’s class was canceled. Although I was not able to learn from the physical class, I was able to learn from the work that we still had to complete over the week. The writing of the WNA, the discussion questions, and the feedback from the discussion questions all helped me learn.

Everyday I give thanks to my Father above. I say a prayer for my loved one always. I ask God to always keep my other family members safe and healthy. I thank my father for all the good in my life. I pray that He guides me to continue becoming closer to Him too.

Let me first start by saying I can not believe that we only have two more weeks of this class it has flown by. Myself personally I have not felt any more loss of energy then I usually do. In the SNHU you leaders video this week I found that Amelia Manning said it best for me when she said, " It took someone telling her she couldn't do it, thus making her want to prove them wrong." I am the same way If someone tells me I cannot accomplish something it makes me go the extra mile and push myself harding than more to accomplish it.

A time when my time management skills were not up to par, would be last week's “weekly reflection #1” when I completed it in bare minimum time. I could've done a great deal differently on that assignment, if I'm being entirely honest, but the best change would've been to actually check this part of canvas every once in an eternity. Probably would've saved me the five years I lost to the momentary stress, I swear, I never thought college would’ve been like chain smoking. To reply to the question “What will you do differently?” the answer is simple, I'm going to stress about stressing; seems legitimate. This can't possibly go wrong.

As I am preparing myself to close the doors of this chapter and open the next chapter in life, I can not help but cry at how amazing the Lord has been in my life. Through all of my struggles and disobedience, the Lord never ceased to show me His Love and Mercy.

My career goals are greatly influenced by my daughter, Lilliana. She gives me so much
