Reflection On King's University

Improved Essays
In reflecting upon this course, I feel I have grown personally and spiritually in many ways.
As each new discussion topic came about, I could see and feel how I was gaining knowledge which has helped shape my viewpoints for ministry work. Through collaboration with my professor, Dr. Greasley, classmates, and other fellow students at The King’s University I learned what my strengths and my weaknesses are. This has lead me to develop a plan to strengthen my weaker areas.

In my discussions, readings, and written assignments, I learned the importance of maintaining professionalism and an open, obedient mind. This experience will serve as a reminder to fill in the lacking areas as I continue on my educational journey. While,

Furthermore, this helped me to gain insight and see things clearly in a spiritual way.

The major assignments specifically the mini practicum helped me to apply my theories and what I have learned so far in school. It has helped me to obtain applicable knowledge and skills by performing in an actual work setting. I am happy that The King’s University requires their students to undergo such

My mini practicum exposed me to the real environment of a particular organization. Thus, adjusting myself and mingling with others is a must to cope with different standards and attitudes of individuals in particular fields of an industry or organization. Consequently, the mini- practicum was a bridge to enhance my skills in communication and technical activities to help deal with different specialized people of their expertise.

For me the practicum program that I will complete during my junior and senior year will provide me an opportunity to go through actual methodologies of a specific job. In effect, the workplace becomes a development venue for me as a student trainee to learn more about my chosen field and practice what I have learned from my school. I feel as a student I can bring fresh ideas into an organization. Given the opportunity to converse my mind freely and without fear, I may be able to contribute significantly in brainstorming sessions or research and eventually help improve the organizations productivity.

I feel accommodating practicum trainees can truly be beneficial not only to the trainees

    In terms of processing the course teachings, I found the Handbook for Transformative Learning difficult to retain at times. Although this is a topic of great interest to me and the current context in which I serve; the material has often caused me to gravitate more towards The Adaptive Leadership textbook by Heifetz. All things considered, I believe that the development of the Synergy paper actually presents the student and pastoral leaders with a unique opportunity to shape the destiny of the local church and the AME denomination by virtue of two major advantages at their disposal. First, the availability and accessibility of successful nationally recognized experts in the area of Adaptive Leadership and Transformative Learning. Having a full arsenal of proven experts present during our first semester at Payne Theological Seminary caused a hunger in my spirit.…
