Reflections

classes, I came to a realization of my race. Like hundreds of times before, I entered the dimly lit restroom connected to the cafeteria of my elementary school; but, instead of exiting the restroom, after washing my hands, I caught a glance of my reflection. And, in a small, scratched up mirror, I, for the first time, saw myself — or, at least, I finally saw my melanin in contrast to the pale skin of my peers. Despite growing up in a Black and Brown city, with Black and Brown teachers, I was…

exception of my junior year where I took on the challenge of taking AP Composition and Language. During my AP class we focused on writing argumentative essays and two other types of writing. The other three years, we wrote one to two page essays on a reflection of novels that we read during the year. If we met the basic criteria (introduction, three body paragraphs, conclusion and stayed on topic) then we would mainly get an A. I would say that a few of my strengths in reading would…

supervision and as a mentor where I have used aspects of Transactional Analysis to achieve carefully planned professional supervision. This has helped to explore how emotions and personal feelings affect practitioners thinking and practice. This type of reflection can enable practitioners to ‘feel’ their work. This in turn has allowed for reflective dialogue and debate to take place with my supervisees. I now adopt a person centred, solution-focused approach and a ‘no blame culture’, which…

Journal #4 (Reflection: Allyship and Action) During Psychology 251, I learned that an ally is typically a member of advantaged social groups who uses social power to take a stand against social injustice directed at targeted groups. Social power for certain groups is inevitable in today’s society, and although unfair, it is important for these groups to be able to use their voice for the reason of good against the power of oppression against the social injustice directed at certain targeted…

sports and the media. I was also aware that race is not in our DNA. If I’m being honest, I thought these few facts that I knew was enough. I never stopped to consider that learning about diversity is a lifelong process that requires a lot of self-reflection, empathy and perspective taking. This essay brought up so many points that I had never considered before that made me realize that I am still unaware of many facets of…

The Campus Discovery Reflective Responses required students to go out of their comfort zone to explore various aspects and tools on campus that are beneficial socially or academically.

For my research and reflection essay, I have chosen the Warlpiri. The Warlpiri are a cultural group comprised of approximately 3,000 individuals located in Northern Australia. The Warlpiri participate in a traditional lifestyle in which hunting and gathering is the preferred method of obtaining food. The majority of the Warlpiri also reside within extended family structures and chose to live and sleep outdoors (Bavin, 2012). I found the Warlpiri to be well-suited for this research question due…

A reflection of this eight weeks journey in Foundations of Autonomous Practice has showcased the different facets of what makes us a better and responsible clinicians- from identifying our core values to enabling our decision-making as a diagnostician in the realm of disablement. As we are about to disembark from our trip we are faced with another challenge; we are to traverse the great divide between research and our patients. Fortunately, a bridge has been built to enable us to cross that…
