Human Services Essential Function Skills Assignment.
Below is my reflection regardless my three weaker skills according described in the assignment on December 16th, 2015.

Goal 1: Communications and writing legible with proper grammar, spelling and punctuation.
At the time of this writing I have not a complete perspective how my grammatical ability has progressed. During my winter break from WCTC, there has been no need to practice or engage into academically activities both for personal reasons as well for professional purpose. At my practicum site, it is not required to do a lot of documentation other than an incident report. I believe, therefore, that my skills have neither progressed nor regressed. As example certain nouns and verbs that can be easily interchanged is the noun “belief” vs the verb “believe”. Another simple but easy error I need to watch out for is replacing letters with similar sounds, for example “s”; for “c”. I find myself doing this in the …show more content…

Trust personal judgement and be aware of strengths and weakness.
Each person, how rough and tumble he or she might appear to be will become more aware of their abilities and capacities. Many moons ago, I was employed by a large and international printing company I have experienced that it is easier to criticize and scrutinize someone on a regular bases. Been part of that environment I know the feeling of being subject to that ridicule. Sometimes these experiences of than still are breaking through the surface of my confidentiality while relating to other people. As well as becoming involved in mental health has worked as a healing balm. Even though I continue to learn and grow while separating positive critic from negative influences. The experience that I related earlier about time management in an “industrial kitchen environment is a good example negative self-chatter.

The Youth and School Resource Officers School Resource Officers (SROs) are sworn police officers trained to serve and protect the community. As such, they have a duty to serve and protect schools within their jurisdiction as part of a total community-policing strategy. Research has shown that the youth with healthy relationships and “protective factors” have a reduced chance of becoming involved in serious delinquency. These “protective factors” include adding school resource officers to school campuses with the growing number of at-risk students. It is important for schools to have SROs because the SRO’s role on school campus is keeping students safe and supporting the education mission not only as law enforcement officer but also as a teacher and a counselor.

They help to build and promote a supportive and active community within their residence hall and across the campus, and offer support and guidance to their residents. This aids in making Geneseo feel more like home and a community rather than simply a school. RAs enforce Geneseo and Department of Student Life rules, while also being a more easily accessible and less intimidating resource to other students in need of help. I want to be an RA so that I can become more involved in the Geneseo community in a positive way, by helping and representing other students.

Giving it some serious thought I came to conclusion that being attracted to the human service field is a gift. I have always received great satisfaction from helping others. In reflecting how I have learned my values, morals and perceptions that I believe, have help in showing me the insight in who I am and why I have chosen to be in the human service field. When I take inventory of myself I feel that I am a very confidant, opinionated, sociable person. I also see myself soaring like an eagle reaching the prize because much have been imparted in me so failure is not an option.

The person can either take it to heart and help them become a better person at what they are doing, they can just brush it off and not listen to what is said, or thy can listen to it and be hurt and stay hurt by it. Most criticism is usually for the benefit of the person, but at times people may take it in the wrong way and think that they are being made fun of or mocked. People need to find a way to use the criticism to help them become a better person and to not take it as a negative thing meant to hurt their feelings.

First of all, I had the opportunity to interview Kim Bartells who’s a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in Michealsen Health Center and learn more about her role as a social work. Before I started interviewing Kim, I asked her if it was alright with her if I recorded the conversation and she said it was fine with it.

At the start of my freshman year, literature and language had no interest to me and I feel as though my writing reflected that. When it came to learning how to improve sentence structure or understanding the author’s purpose I was disengaged and didn’t completely grasp key concepts that would have improved my writing ability. But as my time in high school has gone on I’ve come to better understand how important it is to know these skills and that has made a huge and very visible difference in my writing. And because of that writing has become an outlet of personal expression to me as opposed to just being an obnoxious part of English. Three years ago, my writing was weak in terms of grammatical errors.

Taking Basic Life Skill Classes Taking basic life skill classes in high school is an ideal way to prepare students for living on their own. These classes not only help prepare students for living on their own, but also gives them a feeling of confidence in their abilities. A survey of 165,000 students found that only forty-six percent felt confident and positive about their readiness for college and their careers (Leal). Academic classes do help prepare students for the coursework college brings, but it does not help students face the reality of life after high school. Students sit in classes like physics, English, chemistry, and math that have little to no use outside of school.
