Summer Reflective Analysis

Improved Essays
I am now half way through with Summer Session II and the transition between high school and college has been exciting, but also overwhelming. A few differences I have noticed between my high school classes and my college classes are the size difference, the diversity in students, and the faster pace. In my high school, the average number of students in each class was about 25 to 35 compared to my biggest class now at about 200 students. Additionally, the students in my class before were mainly Hispanic, but now everywhere I look I am able to see people of different cultures and that is something that is so important to me. The reason for this is that, while I did not grow up in a diverse area, I believe that growing up around different people

This paper will compare and contrast these various discourses within the Middle Years (Years 7 – 9) and Senior Years (Years 10 – 12) contexts.…

    Reflective Analysis Case Report Component Paper Worldview is responsible for how we think and how we make decisions on a daily basis. It is a “set of assumptions, presuppositions, unconsciously held but affect how we think and live” (Cosgrove, 2006, p. 20). It is imperative to understand that every person have their own worldview.

    In the article “Is College Worth it” the writer provides surprising data stating that people who decided to attend college and graduate are more likely to help reduce the financial strain on society. Hrabowski author of “College Prepare People for Life” emphasize that by enrolling in college, students can learn and develop vital skills, which can later be used to help contribute to their communities (260). While college not only helps individual develop new skills, it provides excellent rates of return. Owen and Sawhill author of “Should Everyone Go to College” mentions that the rates of return by attending college is significantly better than those with only a high school diploma, therefore, the benefit of attending college and earning a…

    Introduction Definitions of intelligence vary among scholars, theorists, and laypersons, due to its multidimensionality. However, intelligence typically involves an individual’s ability to learn from experience and adapt to the environment in which they live. I believe that the construct of intelligence should encompass an individual’s ability to effectively communicate in both written and verbal form, to think logically, and to express creativity. Two intelligence tests in which I recently had the opportunity to take and score included the Shipley Institute of Living Scale-2 and the Wonderlic Personnel Test.…

    Joining the New Visions program was one of the wisest decisions I have made. When nurses that I shadow at Unity Hospital express how jealous they are that they didn’t have a program like this when they were in high school, it reminds me to take advantage of this opportunity that not every student receives. I am confident that when I graduate college, I will be able to recollect this program, and how it led me to be successful. I will reminisce about the long hours dedicated to each college-level assignment in determination to receive a grade in the high 90’s, or that moment when I witnessed a five pound baby be born from a cesarean delivery, or even when I stood next to the operating table observing a total knee replacement surgery, while the surgeon and nurses took the time to teach me about what they were doing--an opportunity that not even college nursing students were able to see. Every assignment I completed, conversation I had, and person I met, has transformed me into a more educated and open minded student.…

    Stephanie, I too found this assignment to be difficult as I evaluated my personal skills and development level over the last 17 years in this profession. You would think by being a nurse for 17 years I would be on the expert level. However, had you asked me this 2.5 years ago, I would have likely agreed with being an expert, I worked a total of 10 years in a psych residential facility for at risk youth. In that specialty field, I did consider myself to on an expert level. Since moving back to the medical aspect of nursing little over 2 years ago, I feel I am back to a proficient stage in this area of specialty.…
