Reflecting-Activity
In our group today activity we discussed which book we will be reading for our presentation. The hard part challenge our group faced was that we all had similar choices in the books we wanted to choose. Three people choose how children succeed and two other members choose will power. This activity was challenging for the group because our professor suggested that one or two of choose a different book in order for the group to have a variety of books being read with the group. The easiest part of the challenge for the group member was when we had to explain our reasons for choosing a specific book.

I have less anxiety and fear. As far as developing professionally, I heave learned that I should try to not be nervous when I am joining a group because mostly likely after I spend more time with my group I will feel appreciated and comfortable. My strengths as a group member is that I am always willing to start a conversation. I believe this is a major strength within the group because it helps breaks the eyes to any fear or nervousness that might have been felt within the group. Another strength I have is that I am extremely good at making eye contact with my members. I make sure I put all my focus on who ever is speaking to that they can know that I am interested in anything that they have to say. My weakness as a member group is that I tend to forget things easily and I need to have thing repeated to me. I feel like this is my biggest weakness because I feel like it rude to have people repeat thing more then

    For this assignment, my group’s topic was Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and how it is prevalent in the novel, ‘Speak’ by Laurie Hall Anderson. My responsibility was to do the facts and statistics slide and to do the two characters that experienced/influenced PTSD slide. While working on the assignment, I did run into some challenges. The biggest being that it was hard to find facts and statistics on PTSD that were Canadian and relatively recent. I ran into this issue because many websites that I found focused more on America, on worldwide facts and statistics, and the information was quite outdated.…

    For me the activity of working as a group especially with other individuals who I have not worked with or talked to before was a good learning experience that had both positive and negative outcomes using Driscoll’s model of reflection as a frame work to elaborate on how I interpreted what happened, what impact the situation had on me and what I will do in the future if presented with a similar situation (Driscoll and Teh, 2001). We were required to do a 10 minute presentation for a health promotion project that we developed. I decided to work with other individuals who I didn’t know and have not worked with before as I believed I would be more productive and respectful if I worked with people I didn’t know very well. For the first tutorial…

    I recently attended a group observation at Project Point of Light in Shippenville, Pennsylvania. The overall experience was a positive one. It was very interesting to talk to the members and hear their sides of the story. They truly are just human beings and I believe that meeting with them and having an opportunity to talk to them has somewhat changed my view of sex offenders overall. Though I am still confused by their behaviors, which is somewhat difficult to overcome, but I am more understanding of who they are because they are only human and they know they have made a mistake.…

    This class has served to enlighten and increase my understanding of the distinctions between Pastoral Care, Counseling and Crisis. Before taking this class, I lumped these categories all together as pastoral care. As such, my reactions towards what I deemed pastoral care was very negative in that I felt ill-equipped and was way too intimidated to handle what potentially seemed to be a day to day pastoral care overload. The first eye opener came when I read about the distinctions between pastoral care and pastoral counseling.…

    Overall, I was extremely happy with the effort my group put into this project. In terms of attending the group meetings, everyone was present and participated in the discussion. The first meeting took place on a Sunday afternoon at Baruch and the second meeting took place on a weeknight in the form of a Google Hangout. The times and places of these meetings alone displayed every group members’ commitment to the project, effort to accommodate for scheduling conflicts, and effort to ensure they are contributing their fair share to the group regardless the time or day of the week. At these meetings, we discussed ways to engage the crowd and critiqued each other’s slides and presentations.…

    Individual Reflection Paper As humans, it is within our inborn nature to interact and cooperate with others. This is due to the fact that no one individual is perfect and capable in all ways. We are able to complement each other’s inadequacy through working as a group, hence this is why collective efforts often made things easier as compared to individual effort. While working in groups, we will experience changes in group dynamics and processes.…

    I have been taking this class for nearly three months. During three months, I learned a lot about small group communication, especially the group climate and interaction are going well in our group. Our group works well on building and keeping positive attitude to our assignments and supportive climate. Each group member devotes to create an atmosphere that our group is the best group. For instance, our group member Erik and Jo always said some words of praise and encouragement, such as “we are really a good group”.…
