Reflections

I learned a lot of things while doing the Creating a Nation project. I learned about the checks and balances between the branches and how no one branch was more powerful than another. In my opinion this was very ingenious. No branch could have more power than another branch. During this unit I learned a lot about the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation allotted a lot of power to the states and less power to the central government. The central government had to ask the states…

During this week at my agency, I indulged in the following activities which includes; attending the team meeting, observed, sat in for intakes, med-checks as well as carried out a family therapy session. The first client scheduled for this week did not show up for session, but her mother called the agency stating that she forgot their appointment and rescheduled. On the other hand, my young client who is diagnosed with ADHD showed up for intake with her mother. Even though the agency already…

After the one-week break, I am glad that we got back to normal therapy sessions. As stated previously, Kenosha is a kind and talented doctoral student but I cannot make an emotional connection with her as a client. On the other hand, you are so important for me both as a teacher and therapist. In fact, since the begging of this semester I am most reactive to you in the group. The last session made me thought about your role and importance for me. Throughout the seven weeks, group provided me a…

I feel honored with the chance to be considered as a student for National Honor Society and hold the value of the four pillars high in my individual standards and behavior. I am excited to see what the this organization and its developed goals change in this upcoming year. A correct understanding of the overall mission of the National Honor Society is noticeably aligned with the goals I set personally. NHS is meaningful to me because it is a great organization for me to be able to improve my…

The concepts I have learned in this course will not only help me in my future work, but have also given me extremely useful life knowledge to apply to my personal life. I think it’s important that every adult has an understanding of auto and workers compensation insurance. Then as far as my future career in business, the concepts of general liability and property insurance are sure to apply whether I choose the finance or risk management route. The first concept in this course was commercial…

Throughout the semester I have learned many things while in English 102 like for instance how to construct an argument, how to properly cite sources and develop a personal stance on certain topics that I am passionate about. While in this class I have developed my own “freestyle” type of writing, because many of the units were very opinionated it allowed me to actually voice my position on things that I felt needed attention drawn to. I believe that my writing skills have improved as far as me…

The most effective professional session that I attended was ten hour multiday training session on Kagan Cooperative Learning Strategies. These sessions were led by two Kagan coaches who presented their material to classroom teachers, specials teachers, and related service providers. This session was effective because the session leader provided activities that were engaging for everyone that was in attendance. The session leader also provided modeling of how to use the strategies. She also made…

During week five in my practicum, I volunteered to help out the administrator. I believe it is important to know how every area of the hospice work or at least have an idea. I learned about how organized files of employees, place orders, payroll, etc. I had previews experience in management, but it was in a restaurant, so it was good to see how an office is run. In addition, I practiced to do the social workers' reports and put them into the computer system. Now, I am confident I can complete…

On my last speech, I discussed why I believe elite college athletes should be paid. I was very satisfied with how my speech went. I was able to improve on my speaking because I worked on the body language portion of my speech increasingly, I was more confident going into the speech, and I feel I persuaded my audience to agree with me. As I prepared for my speech, I worked on my body language and vocal variation. On my last speech, I was docked points for lack of vocal variation, eye contact,…
