Workplace Reflection Paper

When I first decided to expand my education, it had been so long since I had been to school, and I was very hesitant. I talked at length about my decision with my husband and with his encouragement, decided to enroll but still was not quite sure which degree program to enroll in. I knew that this was something that I had always wanted to do since I obtained my Associates Degree in Nursing, but I did not have the courage, nor did I want to give up the time with my family and children. I second guessed my abilities and my knowledge because it had been so long since I had been in college. Now that my children are about to graduate high school and

As a believer in Christ grows they become more aware of the gifts that they may have been given by the Holy Spirit. It is up to us to use the gifts for the right reasons. We are to allow God to work through us to edify the body of Christ. I see a lot of so called Christians these days using what is supposed to be a spiritual gift to use for ministry of the local church using them for self-edification. They are looking to see how much praise they can get instead of how much pleasure God will get through their service. We as believers need to be able to discern between what a spiritual gift is and what virtue is. A spiritual gift is related to the ministry of Christ and a virtue is related to our character. It is very easy for someone to blur the line between two and get confused. Our spiritual gifts are not the same for everyone, where all who believe should show the fruit of the spirit. To some believers the Holy Spirit gives the gift of serving, teaching, administration, and so on. But in the end it is not what spiritual gift we have but how we use it; this is what makes the difference between edifying the body of Christ or oneself.

As OT professional, I am delight with all the important policy successes that the advocacy efforts have had in the last two years. I realized the importance of it and how we as an OT professionals as a member could do to support this association. OT professionals had demonstrated crucial importance in mental and behavioral health work this show the importance of the professional in this kind of set. The OT professional is relating to any kind of rehabilitation in all the disabilities that demonstrated the extend potential in the future of this professional. I chose the article “Thankful for his son’s future, Al Roker thanks occupational therapy” that an emotional testimony that it was use at the Welcome Ceremony at AOTA’s 2017 Annual Conference & Centennial Celebration in Philadelphia. As a

This EER period is out of the normal cycle due to my crossing the threshold for Tenure. I am truly excited that the Department is reviewing me for this honor. Mission Sierra Leone has given me the tools that I will need to succeed in the Service and I am grateful to both the Department and the Mission for the opportunity to begin here. During this abbreviated cycle, my team and I have worked very hard on many challenging projects over an unprecedented transfer season that exchanged 80% of the Department of State (DOS) personnel at post. To facilitate this season my team and I planned far in advance and were able to not only make smooth transitions but also make significant upgrades to our infrastructure with minimal disruption to customers.

Our whole life is based upon the choices we make. These choices are crucial parts of who we are and how we live, but a big part of decision-making is your outlook on life. Your mentality plays a big role in how you dissect your decisions. Meaning that if you’re feeling down it’s likely to make cheerless choices, but if you’re feeling happy your decisions are in all likelihood found to be euphoric. Our mentality can take us to experience things we never believed possible. When it comes to fate I believe that because of my very own experiences our fate can be changed by changing our outlook on life.

I spent my life in school having troubled on understanding the learning in English when I moved to America. I started to have some troubles with understanding and knowing a different language (English) in this country and also having a problem with communication with other people who speak English. It took me through the process to know and understand English when my mind was focused and understanding my native language Chinese Cantonese. There are some moments that I accidentally pronounced something wrong while I’m trying to learn English. I somehow accidentally mixed some ideas with grammar along with English and Cantonese when I realized it was totally different. My ability to learning and reading at school somehow still become an problem in English. People in special Ed. said that I had disability. By the word disability I thought that only disability only people who handicapped or on wheelchair. By learning a different disabilities I learned that my disability works and struggles only the part of the brain function rather than a physical part than some other people who are disabled. There are some issues with my English I had to get involved with more support with teacher aides who specialize ESL (English Second Language) to help me with understand and improve my English. I also had to get involved with special education in school so that they could help me with my English language easier.

A particularized experience of both world and mind or conscious experience is essential to being human. In my case, there was one crucial experience that has greatly transformed me. One turning point that mold the person I was meant to become. Today, I would like to talk about it. This changing event was moving abroad to a different country at a young age. Although moving to a different country generally broaden people’s perspectives, in my case, this experience also subverted my personality and forged my individuality.

As I reflect on this project, I have discovered more strengths than weaknesses. Compared to simply taking an exam – which could be passed with memorization – this project required critical thinking and the application of theories to real-life examples. Despite the occasional imperfection or discrepancy, the positive aspects of the project made it very useful for reinforcing and retaining the information that was learned throughout the course.

Every parent’s goal in life is to protect their child and try to raise them the best way they can. Some parents will go the extra mile just to see their kids happy. My parents are very religious people they are the kind that goes to church every Sunday and volunteer to help the church with fundraisers and what not. My parents had very strong conservative beliefs and were very strict, with me being their only young child and only daughter. Their views on marriage were very strict as well they believed if a woman wanted to be with a man they would have to get married and have kids and the man must provide for the women, also typical Hispanic traditions. That was how my mother and father were brought up and that is how they wished to see me. They always tried to depict their faith in me from a very young age to serve God and never sin. As I grew up in the new day and age I never agreed to the way my parents lived I felt like I can be my own woman and decide what I wanted to do with my life. I learned a valuable lesson about Faith and family when my parents disowned me for running away from my house to move in with my boyfriend.

Writing has never really been one of my strengths. Even in high school, when I took an AP English literature course, I did not enjoy writing papers if need be. Since I did not fancy writing papers, I never really developed a systematic writing process. I would write the paper last minute and pray for an A, but college doesn’t work like that. When I came to college, I placed into music classes first so that I could develop those skills, thus leaving my core classes (including English) on the backburner. Although I do not regret this decision, having a two-year gap between English classes made it difficult to get back in the swing of things. Instead of spending hours practicing instruments and music theory, I was faced the challenging task to shift gears and spend a majority of my time behind my laptop. How was I supposed to manage this new workload?

I think we tend to push religion away from the public arena because today’s society and culture has made it taboo to talk about Christ. Even though it has been taken out of context, the separation of church and state is a prime example. While most schools in my area allow prayer there is still the risk that non-Christian students may bully or even shun their fellow classmates for who and what they believe in. We as Christians accept everyone as they are. We may not approve of their lifestyle or life choices, but that is where we are given the opportunity to witness to the secular non-believers. That is when we as Christians see our true calling.

I was living in a apartment and had a bedroom in the basement. And so, my room was in the basement. One day, I had pulled 50lbs weight at work and so after I got home, I had issue breathing in my basement. In fact, I couldn't breath or yawn properly. It was weird, but it was getting better and so i went to bed. But I couldn't sleep due to breathing and I kept turning and tossing around. And so I started thinking about if I was rolling my back and crossing my arms the way vampire sleeps in the coffin. I started looking up at the ceiling, trying to sleep and then suddenly i felt like I was frozen still. I can not move my legs or hands. I tried everything to move my arms free but I felt like I was submerged in molasses. I began to panic every time I had those movement.

The environment I grew up in availed me in building my confidence and being proud of who I am as an individual and in the classroom. I was the first in my family to be a U.S. born citizen since both my parents immigrated to the United States in the late 90’s from Ethiopia, a country in Eastern Africa, where education is unfunded and the country as a whole is mainly undeveloped.

It has been a challenge to balance all the areas of my life since I became an online student. Each day, I struggle to balance my full-time job, my personal life, and my schoolwork. I work as a supervisor’ Aid at parkland Hospital. Monday through Friday, I leave at 8:00pm to make the hour and ten minute commute from my home so I can be on time. My job is multifaceted. I over bed tracking while make room intake for their patients, nursery, L&D recovery, and L&D delivery. Most of my job, though, is focused on administrative duties. With all these responsibilities, my work day is a full, and I often don’t have time to take a break before it is 6:30am and I begin my commute home. Even though my workday responsibilities are done, my weekday responsibilities often make me feel as though my day has barely started. I have two teenaged son 13and 15, so I spend much of my morning getting out to school, dispensing advice, helping with pick out clothes , and occasionally providing a shoulder to cry on. Our dogs, cheese, poppy, Daisy also needs attention. I start my dinner early so that I can rest for work every night the whole family by 7 PM, after cooking I am responsible for cleaning the house. As if this weren’t enough, I am responsible, I pay bills, and I must also complete my coursework. Though I like my job, I would like to help animals, and I love helping people. So, I enrolled in Penn Foster’s Veterinary Technician program. I find it very hard to complete schoolwork and my other
