Learning Log #8 Last week, I had a little of everything. My agency gave me the opportunity to attend an Aggressive Replacement training on Monday and Tuesday. I found the training really interesting and helpful. I learned a lot of skills to help students working with their anger issues. On Wednesday, I went back to my placement and work on some cases I had pending. Last week, I did a home visit with the speech therapists to get some signatures; however, the student’s mother was not home. On Wednesday, I decided to go again, and I finally got the signatures. On Friday, I had to fill out a CPS report for the first time. Honestly, even though I knew it was something I had to do, I cannot explain why I felt bad. I am glad I had
I was devastated that I had to possibly get some of my summer taken away, or re taking the same grade and not going to high school on time. I mostly was just so embarrassed that I had to go through that and not have it easy like others. I then realized that I couldn't give up so easily I needed to just pick myself up and think positive. I knew that I could do it I had to I couldn't just sit for the rest of the year and retake the year. I started to pick up my slack and do what I had to do to pass the 8th
In the beginning of fall of 2016, I got a job as a medical assistant. It’s long process to get this sort of job, at least with the University of Utah so when I finally went through the orientation, lab training, computer training, and community clinics I got to work and realized there was, even more, training. Every clinic has its personal preferences and rules, so I had to start from scratch with the training I already had. As soon as I got therenoticeI was a given a quick tour of the clinic and given all the rules, passwords and regulations. It was already too much to handle, but I was memorizing as much as I could. I can’t always function under pressure, but I tried not to let my nerves get to me.
My clinical week was emotional and physically draining this week. I enjoyed being the lead on Thursday because it gave me the opportunity to stop and observe. The nurses and the CNAs were very stressed out, and I clearly saw the effect on the patients. For instance, one of the CNAs asked me to help her with an occupied bed change. I was excited. However, she kept passing a bunch of comments of how hard nursing is and how she did not want to be old. I did not acknowledge any of her comments. Perhaps she thought she could express herself (as a result of her stress) in front the patient since the patient was non verbal and could not understand. I felt very bad. I was very uncomfortable and sad. For me, it doesn’t matter whether the patient
Week two in clinical was much better. Things ran more smoothly, I saw my strength and weaknesses. I still need to work on my nursing notes and some procedures. But as for time management; which was really hard for me to get together. I seem to be doing better at it. I think now I'm still nervous on starting procedures such as IV therapy or certain dressing changes, but I have a good clinical instructor that makes me feel like although we shouldn’t make mistakes, it is ok to learn from them when they are made. That doesn’t make me feel more anxious or nervous. I am also seeing how our theory class is relating to clinical due to us going over acid-base imbalances. Its hard to not learn and dump especially with how I had 6 months out of class.
Today was an easier day. I was talking to the caseworkers about experiences that they had in the past. I rarely talk to other caseworkers in different programs and I wanted to know what their experiences were. One caseworker told me that she went into a house with rat traps all over the floor and she did not want to be there, but she needed to visit her client and get information from the client’s mother. I knew right away if I was her I would have left the home because I am terrified of rodents. She said that she sat on the couch and she was talking with the mother when she noticed something run across the room. As she was telling the story I scrunched up my face because I knew it was a rat that ran across the floor. She said that it was indeed a rat and the rat got trapped in the trap.
First, making sure I got there on time, using public transportation for the first time and figuring out how to work in a new office setting. The work environment is one different than any other that I had worked on before. Additionally, I was nervous before I began my first assignment, having never done anything law related in the past. However, after the first week I got into a routine and understood how to go about my assignments. Each week I start off Monday and Tuesday working on weekly reports and gathering information for forms and information that must be complied for each coming week. However, by Thursday and Friday I have accumulated other assignments that help my supervisor with something she is working on for a client or for the office. Each of these assignments vary from time to time. Sometimes I will be working on gathering information about a law for Mindy to apply in a case she is working on; other times I will research something that benefits the office finding information that she needs to
There has definitely been a lot of stressors that have shaped me into a better professional and educator. I have overcame being displaced in a temporary room with little to know supplies for 3 months, being interim Head Teacher for 1.5 months while still performing all my Teacher Assistant duties, training and working with 2 new staff as well as personal issues going on as well. I have overcome everything. I believe now that I can tackle whatever life throws at me. This quarter, I believe that I became a better educator by increasing my abilities to individualize learning and development, being more focused on how children learn instead of what they learn, and learning techniques and practices I can put into effect next year as an educator. I definitely feel like a better educator after learning from this program. I have the ability to be patient when children are having negative behaviors. I have grown into a professional improvising in situations, and I definitely have a lot of knowledge about how children learn. The best part of my experience has been working with other professionals that I now call colleagues. I realize that networking with other agencies is the best way to accomplish goals for children. I have learned so much from working with people outside of Head Start and my other practicums. I have full confidence in my abilities to teach and educate children, as well as administrate. With my education, and experience I know that I am now a quality educator and can perform any job with
Throughout my final ten weeks at my placement, I have grown and overcome so many obstacles. I have accomplished a wide range of skills since the beginning and have been improving on them as I gained experience. At my placement as a student nurse, I have gained a lot of confidence, skills, knowledge and experiences that have helped me act and work in a professional way. All the experiences I have had during the ten weeks of my student years have helped me in shaping me into a professional.

With prom weekend just ending, graduation was the next event to look forward to, and the class of 2015 were ready to check out of Cypress Falls High School. The loss of motivation was common as the end of our high school careers were approaching slower than ever. The feeling of excitement and anticipation were running through every soon to be graduate’s heads except for mine. I felt stress, anxiety, and worried. Why? Well I wasn’t one hundred percent positive that I was going to walk across that stage, which led me to go talk to my counselor. As I walk into the office, Ms. Boutte, my counselor is having a conversation with another counselor. She looked intimidating but spoke very softly. Hearing her voice gave me a sense of comfort. As their conversation comes to an end she states,
I started cutting classes and hanging out with the wrong crowd. I was behind in all my classes my freshman year. Mrs. Lippold changed my perspective on life, she was my photography teacher as well as my friend. This woman improved me during my sophomore year. She had told me how she seen my file as she does with all her students to try to get to know them a little better and noted how I missed consequently numerous days of school. She told me that was going to change and this year would be different. I remember after class she took me with her to my counselor’s office and demanded my schedule be changed. She made him take out my lunch period and replace it with zero period, so that meant I started school at 7:30 in the morning and would leave
The past few weeks of my internship has consisted of more meetings. We have had our first School Support Staff Team meeting, which will now be held every other week. Our SPARCs group has also begun, and that will be every Thursday afternoon. SPARCs is a group of 7th grade girls that meets to learn about life skills of coping with trauma. We have also had a CFTM at the school, as well as a meeting with a potential McKinney Vento family. On top of this, I have begun to be more proactive with the school attendance. Instead of just running the reports, and sending out the 3, 6, and 10 day letters, I have started to look for trends in students. I also discovered a way to find a different kind of report through power school that can show us who
When I was first entering high school as a 9th grader I didn’t get to choose my classes, so I ended up with all normal classes and a dance class. When I saw that dance was on my schedule I immediately didn’t want to go, good thing we didn’t do anything on the first day of school in that class. On the second day of school there was a placement test for the kids who didn’t take one in 8th grade, a.k.a. me, I was hoping that all my regular classes changed and maybe dance too, it was a big inconvenience to me. After the test I went to lunch, then, lucky me, dance. The second day we didn’t do anything at all, I officially declared that the class was boring. Day three my regular classes got changed to advanced, but my schedule didn’t really change, I still had dance. Day four hit me upside the head,
The past year has been a personal quest to dissect and examine various aspects, memories and situations of my life. For a couple years now, prior to starting this Master’s program, I felt that I wasn’t living my best life and that I had some feelings and memories that seemed to be holding me up. The past year has been filled with narrative therapy and lots of healing work. I believe that each of us carriers our own stories filled with triumphs, tribulations, and just mundane events; but that these stories have shaped who we are, how we interact with others, how we form and maintain relationships, and how we cope with change or hard situations. My story, like a lot of others, has some triumphs, tribulations, and a lot of mundane events. I’ll share just a few incidents in my life, which I believe to have greatly contributed to my worldview and the person I am today.
This story takes place no more than a week ago. My day started early, I had woken up around 6 in the AM to go to school. My first period class was at Clearfield high school, as it is every B day. I take a veterinarian assistance class there and it is very fitting for the type of career I would like to pursue, as is my internship, but that comes next. I had left that class 10 minutes early like I do every day, because my next two periods are an internship in Farmington at the Bayview animal clinic. Today was my first day at my internship; I had spent the last few weeks preparing at the school for this day so I was very excited but nervous too. At this internship I will basically be shadowing the vets and vet techs. Like helping to clean, grab animals, observing procedures and surgeries, and do anything thing that they ask of me.
