Reflections

After viewing the Attachment in Infancy & Toddlerhood Wikipage, it made me think about my own attachment to my mother based upon my behavior as a child described to by my parents. I displayed a very explorative and joyful demeanor when I was near them. I vaguely remember being very upset at only a few years of age upon being separated from my mother.

What I know: This is my fourth reflection paper. By now, I know that OJT in the BED is something I'm used to already. It doesn't give me shivers anymore like it used to. It is now part of my normal routine. Aside from this, I also discovered that knowledge is nothing without experience. Thus, no matter how nerve-racking stepping outside of my comfort zone is, I know I need it to become better. The more I practice doing things that scare me, the better and easier it becomes. In my experience…

college presidency in the 21st century. The second point concerns his personal approach to the presidency, and the last is related to the issues arising from external accountability.
