Self Reflection And Analysis

Speaking of my health, it has seemed to be getting worse and worse each semester despite taking all the vitamins necessary and eating extremely healthy. This past interterm I lost around 10-15 pounds as I contracted gastritis, which is the inflammation of the stomach lining and esophagus. I had a few trips to the hospital due to vomiting of blood and the inability to keep down my food. I now have to take three medications in order to keep my stomach from flaring up again. I am just starting to keep all my food down without complications and remain around ten pounds lighter than I did last semester. Earlier I mentioned that I believe my mental health has taken a hit. Well, I noticed more than not I find myself having panic attacks when it …show more content…
Unfortunately, I proved myself wrong and dropped it as you know. I struggled with mustering up the confidence in order to share my thoughts in presentations. The task proved too daunting and my anxiety involving public speaking kicked in before the first assigned group presentations, which eventually led to me dropping the class. Of course I regretted the decision as I missed out an opportunity to critically discuss and expound upon a historical presidential election. Nevertheless, my lingering anxieties of speaking in front of class still remain, leaving much room for fear for this upcoming class. I looked long and hard over the class syllabus and noticed quite a bit of presenting and I would like to know if you would pray for me regarding this issue? In addition to this prayer request, do you happen to have any suggestions that would help me push away this fear or deal with it the best I can? Hopefully I learned from my failures from your previous class and that this semester goes much smoother. It has been a struggle of late and I thank you for reading this, God

    This piece of literature is a self-reflective analysis which aims to explore certain aspects of my learning, development and focus on any challenges encountered while working collaboratively as part of a team. Self-reflection is a critical nursing skill that will aid in the development of my professional practice, helping me to recognise my strengths and weaknesses, thus becoming potential learning situations (Sherwood and Horton-Deutsch, 2012). In order to help me structure my reflection, John’s (2009) Model of Reflection will be used to facilitate my learning through group work and this is based around Carper’s (1978) four fundamental patterns of knowing: empirics, ethics, personal, and aesthetic patterns. These aspects will be discussed…

    Bianka Personal Reflection When I first got assigned to ENGL 1301 I was quick to assume that the class was just going to consist of a lot of reading and taking a quiz at the end of each reading material. After reading the syllabus, I was honestly scared of proceeding with the class. I am not good at writing whatsoever. It is easy for me to think of what I am going to write about, but difficult to begin the writing process.…

    It has been one month into the semester since the break and it has just been quite intense, but I think compared to last semester the pace is understandable. After the first semester ended and with New Year’s just passing, there was a lot of self-reflection and evaluating of what I needed to improve on, to start doing, to stop doing, etc. Even as I go day by day in semester 2, I see things that I need to make adjustments in and make little improvements on in order to make myself a better student and a better person for the massage therapy career. Despite the fact that I felt like I achieved the goals I set for myself last semester, I know there is always new things to learn and things I can build on from my previous goals. So in addition to…

    I enjoyed all of the articles in a way but the one I enjoyed the least was the one I found most beneficial. Shitty first drafts taught me that it is okay to write like an elementary school child because it helps to get all the thoughts out. There was no need to be embarrassed because it’s just a rough draft, why try to make it perfect?. Before I read this article I thought my rough drafts had to be perfect or close to it and that is the reason why I had such a hard time getting started on the essay or even writing an essay. The other three articles I didn’t find them beneficial in any way but interesting.…

    Introduction Dwight D Eisenhower once said, "The art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it," is my philosophy on how I like to lead my people. For both my military and police career, I use this mentality when directing those who work for me. I have personally seen the results of my employees doing things because they want to do it and not because it's a requirement of their job. The satisfaction of teaching your folks and watching them grow throughout the years is a feeling of great accomplishment. Leadership Behaviors…

When I think about giving an elevator speech, it’s like rushing to give my babysitter instructions as I am walking out the door to get to…

    Self-reflection is the capacity to exercise introspection and the willingness to learn more about the self.
