BaFa BaFa Reflection I believe that everyone has felt like an outsider or felt like they didn’t belong at least once in their lives. During this simulation it brought back many memories where I’ve felt like an outsider. For example, with me I felt like an outsider when my family decided to celebrate Christmas with people from my church like three or four years ago. The reason that I felt like an outsider was because the way these people from church celebrated Christmas was way different from the way my family has always celebrated it. I felt a little uncomfortable and out of place. Usually my family would first have a big dinner and after dinner we would walk around with a baby Jesus doll around the house praying and singing. Then we would sit around …show more content…

I learned that with myself I tend to judge others fairly quickly and I know that I do that and I have actually been working on that talking about it with some of my friends. I also learned that I struggle a lot communicating with others who I do not really know or who are different than I am. I can be a very shy person when I’m around people I barely know and I know that with the career I’m interest I’m going to need to start getting use to talking with people I barely know. I think a great way to start that is in college making new friendships by starting up a conversation with a person I would normally not talk to. Another thing that I have learned is that I also have a hard time understanding others and why they do the things they do. It’s sometimes difficult for me to really understand why people act the way they do and what their culture has to do with the way they act and because of that I tend to judge them because I do not fully understand. This has also made me realize how others judge those around them. I see it every day when I’m on the bus going to class or heading back to my

ASAM 100 has been one of the most insightful classes I have taken in college—so far! Through this class, I was able to learn a great deal about my culture and about myself as a person. In retrospect to my first “Why ASAM?” essay, I still believe that it is important for everybody to learn about their culture sometime throughout their life. I was able to learn about various topics such as: the issues of my culture, the traditions of my culture, how others view individuals of my culture, and more. Throughout this class, I learned about the Model Minority Myth and its effect on individuals of Asian background, I learned about issues that other Asian Americans faced through the video, Asian American Voices, and I learned to grow as a writer.

I personally believe that the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is currently the most important. For me this was a difficult choice because the CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) and (Department of Homeland Security) are also incredibly important, especially with the difficulties our country is facing today. I do feel, that SAMHSA, being the “umbrella” agency for other services, is in greater need to provide proper care for those affected drugs (especially, heroin) and mental illnesses. Drugs do not discriminate. They can damage anyone’s life, regardless of age, financial class, or ethnic background.

I learned what it took to be successful, that I couldn 't just go through the motions. I learned one of the most important lessons of my college career thus far, and it is this- in order to be successful here (at Texas A&M), you must immerse yourself in every lesson, every lecture, every class. Everything must be 100%, and not a second should go to waste. Each moment is a moment to learn and to better yourself and your knowledge. There will be concepts that you just don 't understand, and when that road block is reached, immediate action must be taken; there 's a commonly spoken line that I never really listened to until recently, and that line is, "don 't be afraid to ask for help!"

Antwan, the way you stuck to the story line with interweaving moments of internal reflection in your memoir was very effective. I could imagine the thoughts rushing through your head at each main part of the memoir: seeing the cops in the parking lot, seeing the blue lights in the rearview, waiting on him to come back to your car with your license, and sitting there on the curb reflecting back on everything that had just happened. Even with the back and forth between what was actually occurring and what was happening in your mind, your piece had a good flow without any large jumps in time. This definitely helped me as a reader understand exactly how the night really went. I felt myself wanting to know more about you as a person separate

While reading Deaf Again, I couldn’t help from thinking, how I would have treated Mark through elementary school and high school. I was amazed when he said that he was so used to reading people’s lips and didn’t even notice he was deaf. I know that when I try to read people’s lips without hearing their voice it is very hard. It’s crazy how we take advantage of sound in our everyday lives as human beings. I know that I could not imagine not having the ability to hear sounds of the world.

Reading Reflection Paper #1 The intersection of race, family, war torn experience and cultural diversity have played a crucial role in shaping many Hmong Americans and their acculturation to American society. With the racial tension that has long grouped Hmong students as part of the American model minority stereotypes, this has hampered Hmong students’ success in K-12 schools, and it is long overdue for academic discourse in order to propel Hmong students’ educational success into new heights. It is no longer acceptable for school district to accept the model minority stereotypes and ignore the fact that Hmong students has long struggled and underserved in public schools.

This psychological assignment requires us to break a social norm. In my case, I decided to break an appearance social norm. I thought in something weird, but at the same time really funny. Therefore, I entered to my little walking closet and I took the most brilliant and extravagant high heels shoes that I found to wear them at a place when people usually used flip flops.

I now understand that I can not expect perfection, but only my best, and that failure will push me to do better. After my academic life became easier and more managed, other areas of my life started to fall into place, which is so refreshing now. I set such high goals for myself, not yet understanding that my expectations were subjective rather than objective, and now I have come to realize that as long as I do my best, and not someone else's best, the outcome will be just

It started with the fourth daily prayer, and then the women had supper and activities downstairs, while then men ate supper upstairs. It was a potluck style gathering, the women were chatting with friends, the children were running around loud and crazy. The food seemed ethnic and authentic, and I loved every minute of it. Even though I was enjoying myself, I felt the tendency to just stick very close to the sister that I had connected with originally. During dinner I talked with others that were at the table.

The Process of Reflection The process of reflection is central to clinical supervision. Launer (2003) describes external and internal factors in supervision whereby clinical practice and sharing skills are external and reflection is an ‘internal conversation.’ Brunero & Stein-Parbury (2008) discussed the effects of clinical supervision in nursing staff and argued that self-reflection generates a sense of self-awareness and knowledge to the individual. Supervisees or students may be asked what happened during a clinical event, how they felt, the implications of their actions and what they would do differently if faced with the same situation.
