Reflections

Throughout the following essay, I will talk about my reflection on the development of the key skills that I gained during my first academic year that I believe to be the most valuable assets that an entrepreneur needs to accomplish. Moreover, these accomplishments that I acquired during Organisational Behavior and Academic Professional Skills modules have prepared me not only for my next academic years but also in everyday life. During these modules I enhanced my writing skills, time management…

Leadership Philosophy In the effort to create “a new wave of experimentation and advancement” (Senge, 2013, p. 11) within the STEM curricula at OCTC in this Action Research study, my leadership philosophy is guided by Senge’s (2013) disciplines which are building a shared vision, personal mastery, team learning, mental models, and systems thinking for effective leadership within a learning organization. Building a shared vision is sharing pictures of the future with the members to decide on a…

Kierkegaard begins the The Present Age by stating that the present age is “one of understanding and reflection, without passion, momentarily bursting into enthusiasm, and shrewdly relapsing into repose” (1846, p33). I will begin by exploring what Kierkegaard meant by ‘passion’ and ‘reflection’. Kierkegaard sees passion, in contrast with reflection, as a desire to engage, to participate…

The lake seemed to stretch on forever as if the mountain was slowly draining into it and creating perfect copy of itself. Halfway across the world from my home in Massachusetts, the wilderness of New Zealand reached out to me. The hours before had been full of adventure as my father and I had trekked to both the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers. The final trip had not even been part of our plan, but as we drove through the quaint mountain town of Fox Glacier a blue sign signaled the route to the…

afraid of finding love or even if he happened to be in a relationship he would tell his partner how much she means to him and not hold it in. I think Mr. K will be more opened in expressing his feelings. The two additional feelings and meaning reflections that could apply to Mr. K’s statement • You are experiencing regret for withholding how you felt about your wife • You are broken inside and depressed about your failed relationship. Loretta (homeless woman) 2. Client:…

As the world fades around me into a gray mist, I struggle to catch one more breath. I gasp from the muscle cramps and unintentionally breathe in water. In a last feeble attempt, my arms twitch and fail to bring me to the surface. Instead, I drift within the current and my eyes dim while glazing upward towards the water’s surface. My body surrenders to the mercy of death with the expelling of tiny air bubbles. They caress my face in a playful motion. Then as my body begins to sink, the remaining…

Article Review Traditionally, professional development for teachers has been provided in the form of training sessions, consultants, and observation cycles conducted by a master/mentor teacher. Teachers can often have negative reactions to this type of observation model, as it can make them feel like someone is coming in to tell them what is wrong with their practice. Alternatively, peer observation is a newly emerging form of professional development, where two teachers of similar skill level…

Because I have been there and done that, although my most painful memory involves floundering about this way and that, desperately wondering when someone would love me enough to make me human in my own eyes. Now that I think of it I think my favorite reflection if my past was the day I learned to rest my identity in Jesus. I knew that day that I would never again yearn for approval of men…because I had chosen to accept the love of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I of course cannot say that…

The methods I could use to optimise clinical feedback experience INFORMAL FEEDBACK I find this a very useful way of establishing a feedback routine with a preceptee, because it can be given during or immediately after a performance of each specific task(2). When offered at the time of an act or shortly after(1,8,10), a learner can still recall the incident, therefore validating the reason for feedback. Burgess and Mellis have stated that feedback has the greatest impact on students’ behaviour…

For my first performance response, I saw Anything Goes at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre in Fort Myers, FL on February 17th, 2017. At this dinner theatre, Will Prapher produces and owns the theatre. With his compony titled Prapher Entertainment, Prapher produces such productions in Florida as well as Pennsylvania. This production was a comedy and a love story all in one. Billy, the protagonist, loved Hope, who was engaged to Evelyn. All the characters interact on a cruise ship that was going…
