Reflections

Through the past eight weeks my view of theology has changed significantly. From my prior reflection essay I discussed theology as a word I could associate with my father and his theology degree he had been seeking to finish. After taking this course I realize that the word theology can be associated to much more and I can also have my own views and ideas as to what things might mean. Through the course I enjoyed the in depth study from start to finish and found it easy to start due to us truly…

As I sit typing this reflection, I’m always looking for things that can hinder my progress. As I resume to finish up the last few of weeks, I will aim to proofread all my material more thoroughly. Since studying my writing skills, I plan to make sure that my grammar and punctuation are in check. Going through my short stories that have been created, I will choose the one that…

This documentary took a close look at patients in the ICU and the decisions surrounding their care when their prognosis is not good. In total I spent about two hours completing my learning opportunity and the reflection assignment. I chose to review this film because the description looked interesting. It also relates closely…

Aly Daniels Journal #1 Thoughts from the Week: The week seemed to take forever, once I entered the classroom. However, the favorite part of my day is the end of math, right before I leave for the day. This is my favorite part of practicum because it is a time when I actually get to work with, help, and interact with the students. This week was especially amazing because I helped a student who normally becomes frustrated during math. When I began helping this student she kept telling me that…

Number seven, reflections of grief, July 6th, 2016. I've become adapted walking on glass. The trick is to trade lightly and put each foot each down carefully before putting any pressure on it. If I don't flinch I can make it through but on this path of shattered glass I sweat a lot and hope the rivulets will not compromise my feet causing me to lose my balance. Going through grief is walking backwards, living backwards and just now I'm finding that I bring up Peter to remind my girls and I of…
