Reflection: My Three Vignette

Improved Essays
Reflection Choosing my three vignettes was fairly easy I was reading through them and these three just stuck out from the others because they are the best vignettes that describe me what i do and how I try to act everyday.I started re reading each vignette and seeing if i could make each one better so i started adding to each one to make them more complete. During my time writing these vignettes i have learned so much about myself, I have learned first how i got my name and what my parents want me to behave because of the name they game me. I also learned about what's truly important in my life, one thing is family and friends, I noticed that i'm always with either my family or my friends and i have to make it so that we can't continue having these loving relationships. The other important thing in my life is sports, through my whole life sports have always been there for me fro Baseball to track to football and now Basketball I have always had something to participate and a way to …show more content…
My first name came from a book that my mom read when she was a child, she doesn't remember the books name because she read so much as a child but she remembers the name and the description and she just loved the name. The Gaige in that book was as strong as a Lion and powerful and handsome. Which is a perfect description of myself if I do say so.
My middle name is Mychael, My mom also chose this name but it came from a slightly different origin. She got it from a Canadian priest who helped save people after 9/11 sadly he died though. My names show what my parents expect me to be when I grow up. They want me to be kind and holy, Have enough money to survive and thrive in this world. They want me to live my life thoughtfully and passionately and do what I

    Skylar Barbee, A name this is both Feminine and mescaline. Although it is more commonly used for a boy and spelt “Skyler”. My mom says she got my name from a movie called “Good Will Hunting”, but she has always liked that name. All in all I do like my name and think it fits me, especially “Barbee” as many say because I have the blue eyes and blonde hair just like barbies do. With having that as my last name, even though spelt different, people commonly think I just call my self that or that I am just making it up.…

    My name, Jenna Lee Wood, is a traditional Southern double name that comes from my mother's side of the family. After a brief interview with my mom, I learned that my first name comes from the 1980's soap opera, "Dallas". My parents loved the name Jenna from the start and knew that if I was a girl, I would definitely be named Jenna. The real struggle came with the middle name, because I was the first girl of my generation of the Wood's; everyone felt that I absolutely had to be named after the Wood side considering it was an abomination that my first name did not automatically come from said side. The only 21st century name was Katherine, so my name would have been Jenna Katherine-…

    Reframing Reflection

    Journal #7: Reframing When I came across the topic of reframing in this week’s readings, I immediately thought of myself, and the way I tend to handle difficult and/or stressful situations. Unfortunately, when something doesn’t go my way, I tend to become irritated and ask myself why I have such bad luck. Recently, however, I have noticed myself reframing issues, even when I had never heard of this as a topic before reading chapter 10. For instance, in the beginning of the school year at USC, I was denied a waiver for the USC health insurance plan, which ended up costing me $600. I was initially pretty angry that I would have to pay this amount, because I did have insurance, just not insurance that qualified to allow me to obtain a waiver.…

After being enchanted by Darwin’s research and brilliance, I never once doubted that phrase. Like any enlightening and thought provoking book does, however, “Survival of the Sickest” by Sharon Moalem, revolutionized my view of science and biology. This book must be read by anyone who has any interest in themselves or the world. Dr. Moalem explores the complex relationships between evolution, disease, and longevity in a way that begs the audience to never be content with our knowledge of medicine and biology.…

    My research assignment became problematic due to my weakness of correctly citing my work. I think the time that I spent in the WRGT 101 class was more than helpful in terms of the knowledge that I absorbed in regards to searching and gathering material for a topic. The topic that I selected for my paper was how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Initially, at the start of the paper, I believe myself to be highly knowledgeable on the subject but I walked away from all my research with a plethora of new information on my topic.…

This thought of pressure and stress has caused me to become unmotivated when being motivated is the key element to reading and writing. I had it set in my mind at which there was no purpose behind literacy. I just saw it as lines smothered together and people would proclaim them as “literature”.…
