Reflection Paper Essay

As I was trying to figure out the perfect way to sum up this semester, I stumbled upon this quote by Steve Southerland, “I believe in process. I believe in four seasons. I believe that winter's tough, but spring's coming. I believe that there's a growing season. And I think that you realize that in life, you grow. You get better.” This quote really spoke to me because this semester has not been a walk in the park. As a class we all went through some ups and downs. We were challenged in a number of

This semester, in HPE3200, I worked with students at the KSU Play program, Kennesaw Elementary (KE), and Big Shanty Elementary (BSE). Within the Play program, my student, Troy, was a student with special needs. Troy lives with autism; therefore, he requires a more complex set of teaching skills, behavior management, and instructional strategies. However, while working with Troy and other students in the Play program in contrast to those at KE and BSE, I found the challenges offered me growth as an

When I signed up for this class, I never thought it would change anything about myself. This class has allowed me to think differently, and view people in a new way. It has provided me with tools for the future in parenting, career, and relationship. I learn most of these tools in chapters five, six, seven, eight, ten, eleven, and twelve. In these chapters I learned how learning, memory, thinking, personality, psychological disorders, and many other psychological topics can shape how someone perceives

relationship with God, that they continued to spread the gospel as Jesus had taught them. He developed relationships with people that were known to be thieves, liars and criminals. He taught us how to work among non-believers and that our life should be a reflection of our relationship with God. We think that it is hard for us to integrate our faith into our careers today, but we do not have to give our life for the freedom of our faith. When compared to the stories in the Bible, we have a great deal of advantages

I chose assessment #10: Authenticity Scale (Biswas-Diener, 2010, p. 122) for my assessment. Between this current quarter and the last, I pushed myself beyond limits on another section of the Appalachian Trail. On the morning of day number 3 out of 6, I snapped a selfie of myself as I crested a ridge line on a bald (treeless ridge line with unlimited views). The photo was unique and looked manipulated with a filter due to the glare from the sunrise burning through thin patches of fog spilling over

Over the course of the semester I felt challenged in several aspects of my writing during each paper that was assigned. Having the freedom of choosing my own topic and being able to focus and gain and thorough understanding of it throughout the course of the semester made writing truly enjoyable. Given all of these difficult assignments I believe that I have grown as a writer as a whole. Going through the process of writing a rough draft, editing that rough draft several times until the final product

Within my time in Child Protective Services, I had experienced a consistent amount of lying, which to me was a new experience. I was forced to adapt by listening to, two almost completely different stories, then pick out the similarities, and fill in the blanks. There were several times when a couple would lie for one another but have stories so far off that it was obvious neither were being truthful. We also had a family rehearse a story so that all of their stories did match one another’s but the

- I met with K. Beam before we left on our two- week fall break to discuss working with her for the coaching practicum and what she was interested in working on with her students. - I observed K. Beam’s class and met her students. K. Beam introduced the topic of the class writing their own book using the program “Student Treasures” from scholastic. The goal is for students to write their own book that will be published. Students had to brainstorm a topic for the class to write about and then write

from that process has helped me become a better writer in this class, but also others. This freedom has enhanced how I think when I write. For instance, when I would write a paper a year ago for English 11 I would just type away with little regard for my wording as long as the topic was recognized and supported throughout the paper I was writing. Now, at least I would like to think, my essays are more concise and coherent. My writing over the course of the semester has gotten to be more about presenting

studies class, this course was my introduction to many of these ideas and theories. After learning about the principle of educational psychology, I now realize we are surrounded by them in everyday life also how applicable they are. In this synthesis paper the three conclusions of how psychological theory relates to learning are “the use of extrinsic rewards in today’s classroom are overused and an emphasis on intrinsic rewards is needed”, “challenging student with support and guidance in the classroom
