The Practicums: A Career In A Profession

Show More
The practicums have definitely helped in some of the shaping towards the direction I think I would like to take in the diverse world of recreation. I experienced times where it became clear that there were certain professions I would and would not like to have. This was very eye opening because there were times when I was really overjoyed by being there and some other times where I just participated because I wanted to gain the experience and it turns out it wasn’t for me and that’s okay. Overall, I’d say I’m more interested than ever pushing forward and learning from these opportunities because a career in this profession is something I’m hungry for and I’m extremely excited to see where I end up. All of the visits gave me a different perspective …show more content…
Each of these practicums allowed a different side of my compassion and empathy to show for others in ways I thought I was able to hide and that’s pretty neat. I also dream of a world where people can be at peace with one another and enjoy life to each their own and live and embody community ideals because people can’t do it alone. The idea of helping others and servant leadership has something that sprouted naturally and completely organic and I don’t have to try to care about others and most of the time I have to pretend that I don’t care so I don’t feel everything for everyone because that’s exhausting. At Deception Pass State Park, a Park Ranger showed up and answered a few questions and I was so amazed at his kind spirit and generosity to help the environment and educate others on how to keep our parks safe and friendly for everyone that I couldn’t help but contemplate taking the route to becoming a Park …show more content…
I also had a hard time on the practicum visits when it came to speaking up and asking questions and so I had a hard time standing out and making my presence known. However, I think I have a lot of strengths when it comes to working hard and with other people depending on the setting. I think I want to head down the path of becoming a Park Ranger and I would need to start exercising regularly again and get prepared to take a thirteen week course and so on. My plan for entering the profession would include physical, mental, and a lot of outdoor experience before I could try to enter to

    Lady Buds Mission Statement Analysis

    Since attending Spelman College, I have evolved as a person mentally and socially, especially in my efforts regarding volunteering and the production of social change. Before attending Spelman and joining Lady Buds, a mentoring program for young underprivileged girls, I understood to a degree, how social change impacts people and their communities. However, after being a part of Lady Buds, my understanding of social change vastly increased, specifically how it affects the communities within Atlanta and on a larger scale our society. Upon entering Spelman college, I knew I wanted to be involved with a mentoring group, and while there was a multitude of groups to choose from, I decided on Lady Buds because their mission statement resonated with my goal before entering Spelman College.…

    AP Physics Personal Statement

    Education has always been a part of my life. Long before my first day of kindergarten, my family’s love of learning has heavily influenced me. My maternal grandfather told me stories of people in places long ago with the same excitement and joy when I was five as he did when I was fifteen. I savor every moment I spend in my Uncle’s living room, their cozy furniture and reading lamps a mere practicality, while the books lining every shelf stole the spotlight. At nearly every stage in my elementary schooling, my mom inspired me to persevere and fought alongside me.…

    Practicum Experience Paper

    For the disability ministry project, we were asked to choose a practicum experience where we shadowed or spoke to someone helping someone with a disability. For my project I chose to spend some time in the class for disabled children at the high school I graduated from. Throughout the glimpse of time that was allotted for this particular practicum experience I learned a lot of exciting things about disabilities, but also made some disconcerting revelations. While spending the day at school I was able to interact with the students, teachers, and overall staff of the high school; gaining insights, perspectives, and forming thoughts on everything I had witnessed. From start to finish, my day back at school has left a lasting impression on me.…

    The Credential Society: A Literary Analysis

    Possessing the necessary skills in order to be a valid member of society has always been important in an individual's success in their society. The credential society, a society which educational merit, such as degrees and diplomas, determines the eligibility for a person to work (Macionis, 2000), takes this belief and constructs the perfect system around it. In theory, this practice seems like the perfect way in which to run societies so that the most capable people are put into positions of work. However, when it comes to putting this theory into practice, the theory becomes muddled and the expected results end up becoming skewed. In the science fiction dystopian novel, Legend by Marie Lu, the corruption of the established credential system shows how the system can keep social classes…

    Self Reflection In Counseling

    An exercise in class allowed me to understand my own reasoning for helping others as well as what may be my own selfish reasons for seeking this profession. For example, at one point in the exercise, I broke ground into my own self-assessment and found insight that I was partially seeking the profession for money and for my savior complex. I felt that this observation of myself showed that I was overall, functioning normally with both healthy and minimal unhealthy motivations. Another concern that came across my mind is when I have a…
