Reflection

As everyone talks about how amazing the Technology Management Program is at UCSB, I could not agree more and now fully understand what they mean and thoroughly enjoy these classes. I am excited to be able to apply our TMP 111 speaker’s ideas and advice to my day to day life in the present as well as influencing my decisions and choices for the rest of my life. The thing I enjoyed most about the speakers were their ability to relate back to us college students, and provide a realistic example…

Jointing AFJROTC has changed my overall attitude of how I view the Air Force. It has allowed me to get a better insight on how things are run in the Air Force. AFJROTC has allowed me to build my character and leadership skills through structure, discipline, activities and community service. AFJROTC builds character and leadership through discipline and structure. AFJROTC does so by creating a certain set of rules with certain punishments if you don’t follow them. This class helps you learn that…

Watching the videos on the learning to learn taught me a lot not only about what I was doing wrong but also how these things in the videos would be able to help me in my future classroom. Along with making myself more successful with some of the ideas and skills that were presented in the videos I learned that there are many things that I can teach my students, that I was never taught, that will help make them successful in their school and personal careers. One of the biggest aspects from the…

The department of Children and Families (DCF) is a strength-based agency that works to protect children from neglect and abuse. Working with families to build a rapport after removing the child could be challenging for a worker. It is essential to use the proper skills to build a working relationship by building rapport; gaining trust and caring for your clients. Working with children requires sensitivity, empathy, compassion and a love for children. Throughout my internship I realized just how…

The other day, my daughter came in to my study room and asked me for help with her homework. We negotiated that while I’m writing my paper, write down all your problems and I will help you when I will be done. What we did “negotiation” this is what we do on a daily basis, numerous time we are negotiating and are unaware of the fact that we are negotiating. “Negotiation is a process by which we attempt to influence others to help us achieve our needs while at the same time taking their needs into…

Reflecting on my emotions for the past week, I can say I haven’t really improved. I still feel the same sadness, the same lack of motivation and an even higher level of stress than I was experiencing last week, due to midterms. It seems like everything is just pilling up, I feel like my days are no longer purposeful, I take forever reading and finishing my homework, and since I take long I get discouraged and start questioning myself, by asking “Am I smart enough to be here or “why am I even…

Murderball is one of the most revelating sports movies that has ever been created. It begins with the introduction of all the participants for the paralympic rugby team for the United States. The movie Murderball shows the passion and enthusiasm the players have for the sport. But at the same time, is able to show that they, as men, are no different than any other human out there. The players are susceptible to love, loss, and the competitive attitude that comes with sport. In the reading, “From…

Examples include: • As a medical student, I gained valuable teaching and supervising skills through a unit ‘Doctors as teachers’. This unit enhanced my understanding of adult learning which was invaluable when creating presentations for various departments and different audiences as a junior doctor. I have completed a number of case…

Developing this mindset for working with attention-deficit students has been an interesting process. Reading the books entitled Nowhere to Hide and ADD/ADHD Behavior-Change Resource Kit, as required by this class, has opened my eyes and heart to the challenges and rewards of working with these students. The mindset that has evolved through this learning process is to focus more on what the students can do and to maintain a positive attitude. I feel that it is my responsibility to help students…
