U-100 Reading Reflection

Decent Essays
This particular reading was very useful; it actually helped relive some of my anxiety as I approach my U-100 meetings. It helped me learn about the art of helping. Therefore, by doing this reading and learning about the different aspects of being a helper, I was able to feel more at ease with myself. It made me realize that been an helper is a life long journey and one needs to be less self critical when we face certain obstacles during or development as helpers. Furthermore, the reading offers ways in which we can accelerate our progress as helpers. However, the one thing that stuck with me after doing the reading is that we need to trust the process and not allow mistakes and self-doubt to negatively affect us. Additionally, like I mentioned

I believe that I will be more cautious as to form an opinion based on just what the outer appearance is. In addition, it taught me that life is a copulation of events that continue to form and shape us to deal with challenges in the future.

    Finally, I thought that the way the book was formatted was excellent. It really gave you a good idea of the different steps in the process, although I feel like that if it was a little shorter it would be better. I say this because even though the author explained herself in a great and detailed way, it was very long. Sometimes when I was reading, I got a little bored and wanted to move to the next event in the…

    Through my courses, I have learned about research being done that involves generating and processing large sets of data, which require the assistance of outside facilities such INBRE, and have noticed a growing demand for people who understand the techniques necessary to process such data.

    In my life I have always gone above what was expected to help others, whether I am holding a door open for someone coming in or giving someone a smile that may make their day.

At this time I started with medical assistant being that I would be able to help many people with such things like making an appointment, recording what is needed for the physician to care for the patient, or taking someone’s temperature. While these are a great way to help patient’s further education would allow me to help patients even more.…

He wrote the book after constantly hearing frantic conversations over where to attend college.…
