Personal Narrative: My Portfolio Reflection

Great Essays
My portfolio results clearly show that although I currently have an adequate health status, I need to work on my social domain of health more than the other domains. According to the portfolio results, the physical domain of my health contributes to the most of my wellbeing. Having full energy, no limitation due to a physical health, and acceptable physical functioning are the reasons for my physical wellbeing. However, since the physical health varies dramatically by age, I need to exercise more so that I can maintain my wellbeing in the future.
My emotional and spiritual wellbeing lies in an acceptable range; however, I need to improve their status more. I can easily get frustrated from very simple things like losing a pen, so I need to work on controlling my emotion. The mental domain of

The negative consequences of loneliness along with the barriers that this can make in my way of achieving my goal are the motivations that force me to change my behavior. My goal is to become a scientist, and I know very well that it demands the highest dedication and energy. If I get depressed, there would be no way for me to focus on my goal and achieve success. However, changing behavior is not going to be easy at all. The tendency to be alone is part of my characteristic, which I unconsciously follow it. It is extremely difficult to change a characteristic that has been with me for many years. Because it is a mental problem, it does not have a guaranteed way of addressing it. My plan to change my behavior is all about putting myself in a situation that I will be forced to interact with other people. This can be participating in group-based sports such as soccer or becoming a tutor. Moreover, my plan should cover from at least one to three years if I really want to see its effect on

    My experiences over the last six years living in NYC have shaped me into the approachable and compassionate person I am today. I have been immersed in a melting pot with many different culturally and economically diverse populations. These unique experiences have broadened my horizons and allowed me to gain valuable communication skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I searched out opportunities to give back and help the people in my community both in volunteering in hospitals, educating high school students, and interning in private practices.

    This project was one that I found to be very interesting being that I never actually paid much attention to stocks, how they functioned, or what the purpose of investing was. Every day and throughout the days, I would look forward to seeing how my stocks were doing and thus I would find myself getting frustrated, excited, and so forth about the changes. First, the reason why I stayed with my last four investments is because they were generating growth (profits) at a stable rate, although at times I would also see losses. Additionally, in Alphabet Inc. (GOOG), I felt that with Google Inc., reorganizing into a new corporate structure of eight separate companies headed by Alphabet Inc., and how it was investing its profits back into new, risky…

    It seems that as a librarian, I have participated in a somewhat watered down version of bibliotherapy. I had never heard the term before reading the articles. I am always in awe when teachers come to me and ask for books that deal with social topics for use in their classrooms. It seems a book is their first “go to” when addressing difficult issues. I quickly learned to search for books that dealt with topics that would help children cope with the challenges and difficulties of life to add to our collection.…

    I believe my final portfolio reflects the course goals and requirements very well. Over the course of this project, I feel that I have defined my own professional identities. I have learned what it means to be professional, and that even the smallest details can make someone look unprofessional. I believe this course was very valuable in the context that it helped me understand what type of things make someone look professional from resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn, interviews, etc. There were many small details that I didn’t recognize before, that I now understand from listening to my peers, teacher and real reader.…
