Intellectual Perseverance Reflection

872 Words4 Pages

In looking back at the questions from the first refection activity I believe that I am most successful at intellectual empathy. I consider myself to be someone who is very empathetic to others. In the past few weeks we 've had some very tough announcements at Kimberly-Clark and a lot of the team has had to really come together to be supportive of each other. I made the decision to take the voluntary severance offer and to leave at the beginning of May and my co-workers were very upset. They made it very clear that I 'm the positive one in the group who keeps everyone on the up and up. While it was heartwarming to see my friends emotion and feelings for me come out at the same time is was very sad and difficult to think who will fill this void? I guess I played a bigger role than I thought I did. …show more content…

I believe that Intellectual Perseverance is the trait that I would say I still have an opportunity for improvement. As mentioned above, I want results and I want them now. This course i 've had to read and read some of our text to understand some of the theories that were presented. It really makes you think so at times it has been a challenging to slow down and refresh. I will say I really like the discussions we 've had in class though. I 've been challenged and questioned by some individuals with different beliefs than mine so that has been interesting but in a positive way.

Chapter one, entitled "The College Essay Is an Argument", in "The Humble Argument" by Roy K. Humble states: that a proper college essay should be a cohesive, easy to understand dialog of contrasting views, that begins with a simple yet important question, and collection of evidence; then ends with a well thought out answer based on said evidence concluding with the student writer's personal thoughts and feeling about the question, the evidence, and the answer. Roy K. Humble concludes that if a student writer takes these necessary steps as part of their writing process they will most assuredly have written a complete argument, a true College

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE Emotional intelligence can be defined as “the capacity for recognising our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationship” (Poole and Sewell, 2007). This attribute is strongly linked to managing relationships and can play a significant role in team working. Having empathy for others during my teenager years, and always being the one people chose to talk to made me think I scored high in that attribute. However, after experiencing the leadership & employability group project, it seemed I had mislead myself confusing having empathy with what emotional intelligence really is. Blumenfeld et al.

Perseverance is the determination to push through the trials and tribulations fate has thrown to test strength. Throughout my life I truly believe I was tested through adversities and my triumphs made me perceive the difference I could make not only to my community, but also to the people I have crossed paths with. Hard work also plays a role in my life as a willpower to pursue higher dreams and to not settle for mediocracy. Being born and raised in a third world country, me and my family didn’t always have everything we wanted nor the opportunity to change our circumstances. Nevertheless, we had each other and we were more than content.

Psychology is defined as “the scientific study of the mind and behavior” (Introduction to Psychology, 2015). Psychology provides an overview of biology and behavior, sensation and perception, learning, memory, intelligence, language, motivation, emotion, abnormal psychology, and therapy (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 1). Because psychology allows for a better understanding of how the mind and body work, this knowledge can be beneficial for any field of study or career. The theoretical and practical understanding of the basics of psychology can help with decision-making, critical thinking, stress management, time management, better understanding of others, improving communication, and even achieving goals and objectives, all components that allow someone to be more successful throughout their life. Throughout this course I hope to gain a greater understanding of historical and theoretical perspectives of human behavior and development (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 2).
