Gifts Assessment Reflection

Decent Essays
As I sat down to take the gifts assessment test I was not very excited about taking the time to do it. However, I made it a point to take this assessment with the attitude that I was going to be completely honest and forthright. I took a similar test in the past for a secular job I was applying for. Immediately upon not receiving the job, I called the office of this particular company to investigate why. They proceeded to tell me that the test results came back and they felt I would not be a proper fit for the position applied for. Thus, I was not exactly enthusiastic to take this test since my experience was one that caused me to believe they are flawed, and my opinion is I know what my talents and abilities are and how they should be

    Looking over the directions on how to complete the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment it sounded like another psychological analysis into our minds to track the way we think (Anderson, Clifton, & Schreiner, 2006). It reminded me of a test given by major companies to a candidate for an available position to see what made you tick or find out if you would steal from them or go postal on the whole company. But to my surprise I actually learned something about myself, things that came natural to me to the point of not really paying any attention to them. According to this assessment my top strength is Strategic which does make sense to me when I started to review the results printed out on my report.…

    Back in middle school, I was a part of National Junior Honor Society (NJHS). We were the largest class to be inducted into NJHS.

    One of the first task that I undertook as the president of the UCLA’s Mortar Board Honor Society was to reinstate our chapter’s academic scholarship program. The large scope of the project required me to exercise fiscal responsibility and employ innovative methods to reach our fundraising goal of 1000 dollars. While keeping up with my academic and research responsibilities, I applied for multiple grants to fund our community service projects. By delegating tasks such as sponsor recruitment to specific members, I ensured that everyone felt an integral part of this project. Thanks to grant fundings and rigorous outreach, we actually surpassed our fundraising goal.…

    To function as a community, people must collaborate and work together. As a member of society, I find it is very important to help the less fortunate in the community and do everything possible to advance ourselves as well as others. The finest citizens in a community value helping others over helping themselves. To me, the National Honor Society is made up of people who share these values with me. My first experience with community service came when I was just at the age of 9.…

    Introduction The family assessment is developed to assist the social worker in cultivating a therapeutic relationship approach to care. The use of the assessment tool provides an informative approach of care for multiple cultural backgrounds that a social worker may come into contact with while providing services. Clark, 2002 states, “A succinct knowledge of trans-cultural or multicultural setting within the healthcare realms is helpful in bolstering efforts towards attaining the primary care role of therapy. Thus, while providing services in the increasingly multicultural settings, social workers should try to refocus on providing culturally competent care, fully customized in suiting the target patient’s own traditions, cultural values,…

    Hi, Joyce, I enjoyed reading you appreciative inquiry post and your two provocative propositions. The goal to educate the entire staff to include everyone, the receptionist, health coaches, nurses, and physicians, is a great one as it is a challenge to educate that many people effectively. Furthermore, I appreciate the provocative proposition to increase communication and understanding of the information. From my understanding, your statements interrupt the status quo but were welcomes as the appreciate inquiry looked at the positive side, building on strengths (MacCoy, 2014).…

    Founding Impact, a non-profit organization with the goal of educating youth on social issues and innovation gave me the opportunity to truly strengthen my leadership skills. Working alongside like-minded individuals, I was able to meet the unfulfilled need of a youth-led social justice initiative both in my school and the greater community. Millennials are consistently proving to be the most socially conscious generation and having youth-led workshops and discussions on social justice issues would further nurture this spirit. Although many of the issues I aimed to address were global, there was an unmistakable need to address pressing issues closer to home. My school's Breakfast Club was severely underfunded and the staggering amount of students…

    When interviewing a child it is necessary to ask appropriate questions that are age appropriate for the child.
