I read some of the chapters from these books and the two articles because after completing about two years in family based, I started to realize that as I was attempting to become a more systemic thinker, I started to lose sight of the unique contributions that individuals bring to the family and relationships. I loved the masters program at Eastern University in Clinical Counseling as it has prepared us for understanding individuals at a meaningful and deep level. However, I only had one class
Reflection: I enjoyed writing this essay. I feel like this is the first time I ever formatted as this. It was interesting to use a block quotation and close read and analyzed each part relating to each part of the story. I could sum up the whole meaning behind the conclusion so it was neat. I don’t mind what I will get on this essay because I worked my hardest to accomplish this essay. Also, this is the first time I tried this method so I am also anxious how well I will do. I learned great deals
Reflection is not only about pondering over past event and related to it emotions, actions, thoughts, or approaches, but also about interpreting everything for the purpose of learning from it and understanding it better. Reflection shall help individuals to challenge themselves, their behaviors, and feelings. The aim is to be more critical about own experiences and own persona, to think about person’s strong and weak sides (Paterson, & Chapman, 2013). To reflect on my feelings, thoughts and work
As an undergraduate student at the University of Central Florida, I learned a great deal about how societies generally function and how laws and policies can affect individual members of a society in unique and significant ways. With low-income families not investing in their educations past high school and lacking proper knowledge of how their governing laws and regulations work and are enforced, they often fall into predicaments that could be avoided if they just had someone to point them in the
Walking into the stadium, my heart racing, I prepared myself to take on one of the biggest challenges of my life. The stadium lights blared onto mats as the 20,000 people in attendance made their way to their appropriate sections. As the youngest in my category, I braced myself for the assessment ahead of me: I would compete in the Taekwondo World Championships in hopes of earning a medal for my academy. After hours of competing, my academy returned home victorious with five gold, four silver, and
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
Recently, I have been on a journey of self-discovery, trying to find my own personal beliefs in life. Within this Philosophy class, we have discussed the existence of God(s) and the soul, which has made me even more curious as to my stance regarding this topic. I have adapted the “Religio Original” which to Europeans and the Greek represents the beliefs and customs of the original religion of that country, dating back to the time of Zeus and the titans. This is a Polytheist religion, believing in
Summer of 2016 wasn't made special because I traveled far from home and explored new places, in fact, it was quite the opposite. For three exciting months I worked as a volunteer assistant lifeguard for the Ventura County Junior Lifeguard program. I was recruited to aid professional lifeguards in conducting and supervising one thousand 7 to 17 year olds as they were taught water skills and ocean safety. I myself had been a part of the program for 7 years and had always looked up the assistants.
One Saturday morning, in the waning weeks of the 8th grade, I walked into a local museum with a handful of classmates and our history teacher. In our arms, we carried large cardboard displays, and in our minds, naive hopes alongside cynical expectations. Entering the main hall, we awkwardly shuffled through crowds of students and rows of tables until we found our designated spots. I found my name printed on a card and I placed my project behind it, in between two others. After ensuring my tri-fold
“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. Being
