Personal Narrative: My Reflective Feedback

Decent Essays
I appreciate receiving constructive feedback, since this criticism is valuable for me improving from my mistakes. Recently, I had been a leader of a group with whom I had worked on developing a new soda brand, for our entry in the Coca Cola sponsored, World Series of Innovation Competition. Being leader of this team, I encouraged my team to be open and give me their best suggestions. In this process I received positive criticism for my approach in leadership, feedback that I can apply to become a better leader. My group informed me that I took too much initiative to complete the unfinished tasks of some participants, rather than encouraging them to do this work themselves. Since this experience, I am now utilizing my team according to their

    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. I even traveled with the organization Medlife, setting up a medical clinic to provide basic medical care and education to people in the poor and underserved communities surrounding Lima, Peru.…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

But I would gladly give you a printed 8 x 11, arial, black and white, 5 font size, unstapled copy in exchange for a Jackson. A little more if you want it signed.…

    Instead of making me more confident of my decisions as a leader, I began to wonder why nobody could think of any improvements. I knew that I would not always make the right choices and relied on the members for advice. If nobody offered suggestions for improvements, I interpreted it as people not caring enough to participate. Challenges are a valuable way for me to improve both myself and the team as a whole.…

    The seven self-assessment quizzes I took were sustainable marriage, parenting style, relationship connectedness, how strong is your relationship, domestic violence, love, lust or a loser, and energy vampires. I was shocked and perplexed with the results of the sustainable marriage, relationship connectedness, and how strong is your relationship. The scores on the sustainable marriage and relationship connectedness were a little low however, I scored very high on how strong is your relationship. I felt as if one of the assessments was low they would all be low instead of 2/3 of them being low. With that being said, there is no doubt my wife and I have a strong relationship.…

I was improved and more focused writer than beginning of the semester.

    This assignment really had me reflecting on my life as I grew up until now. I have never done this so it was an interesting time for me to see how my life could be extremely different. Many people are born with life altering situations and pull through life unaffected, and still grow up with support systems as strong as the one I came from. As I put myself in the shoes of someone with a disability I realized life would have been significantly different for me if I were born with a disability such as being born without arms. This activity really opened my eyes and showed me that people will find a way to make life comfortable no matter what situation god gives you.…
