Final Project Reflection
The group project turned to be an amazing first time experience for me on working as a member of a team for organizing an event. I find it safe to say that it would not have been possible if I were on my own. Each effort from the individual group member made it possible to create an event that I could never imagine at the start of the project. Through this project I have learned what actually working in a group is and how amazing things can happen if many hands and heads are working together. This project taught me about how someone whom you cannot expect anything from can turn about to impress you the most. Of course every project has a tough part to deal with and we faced ours too. One of the hardest parts in this …show more content…

Another difficulty we faced was time management, because most of us were not experienced enough and had not organized any events before, some of us really thought we could never make it on time and that we had very little time for the task at hand, nevertheless we never lost hope and we never gave up, we pulled everything together at the very last moment and thus brought up an event which could not have been more successful. Events, no matter big or small, I believe it can bring a lot of difference and can change the whole course of a place that could include our entire campus. However, contribution from each member is mandatory and as this was my first step towards bringing a change, I believe I can do more if I take part in more events that are held inside our campus or outside. I was taught through my role, on how to persuade people and invite them into an event, roaming all around the campus and trying communicating in a persuasive manner to different people was a great experience, also, for the very first time I made an advertisement for an event and I felt very good once I saw my posters all around the campus, these were few of the handful things that I learned through my role that will become handy in the

  • Senior Capstone Reflection Paper

    1112 Words  | 3 Pages

    Since this past summer, I have been working with Wilson Workforce and Rehabilitation Center (WWRC) to create a project for my Senior Capstone Project at Shenandoah Valley Governor’s School. This project has been incredibly influential towards defining my current outlook on my potential future and career in Engineering. In an effort to expand upon what I have learned at SVGS through an Introduction to Engineering class, I wanted to use the programming skills that I have obtained to wire, design, and program a new sensor and create something to assist the patients at the center. Therefore, I have collaborated with the physical therapy department and am currently working on a motorized wheelchair sensor device. This sensor will act as a warning

    During this class, there have been many influencing factors that are associated with my career development. Both environmental and external factors have impacted my career development in various ways. The first would be that I am limited to the amount and type of work I am able to perform because I am only a college student. Obviously, a company is not going to be paying me for a salary position when I am only available to work twenty or so hours a week. I am also limited as to what type of work I can do because I do not have a lengthy list of work history. Where I live also constrains my abilities to work elsewhere as well because I have decided to go to a four-year university in Tempe and traveling to the other side of the valley everyday is just not feasible. That does not give me a lot of mobility, just because there are not enough hours in a day. Future external factors that I could foresee influencing my career choices would be where I end up deciding to live, whether it is an apartment or the purchase of my first house. An apartment would give me a little more maneuverability than a house because it would be easier to break an apartment lease than a home mortgage. Having a family of my own in the next ten or so years could also drastically alter my future career decisions. Depending on the circumstances, I might have to forego my dream job and get one or two part time jobs just to support my new family. Each year as I get older, I gain more and more experience both in life and in the workplace, which can make me a more desirable worker to a potential employer. However, there comes a point in time in every ones life where that becomes untrue. For example, my parents are both in their mid 50’s and say all...

  • Reflection Paper #2

    713 Words  | 2 Pages

    In class today I was able to finally able give my presentation. I really wanted to get it completed today because one, I did not want it hanging over my head for another week and two I really enjoyed the topic. It is interesting to see how far we have come within our field, and it also shines a spotlight on how much further we have to go. Reading some of those excerpts of how soldiers with PTSD really got to me. Even while I was presenting I felt my emotions rising and, I’m not sure if it was noticeable but I had to pause at points just to gather myself. I eventually completed the presentation and I was pleased with the amount of questions the other students asked. When I went to sit down, another student said something to the effect of: “great job, presentations are always so much better when the person is passionate about their topic.” I smiled and thanked them of course, and suddenly felt really good about what I was doing. My passion is the other side of my pain. My trauma will always be a part of me, and it is likely that it will continue to affect me for years to come. However, if I focus on channeling my experiences into a passion to learn and help others, at least what I have been through will not be for nothing and I will be able to ascribe some sort of meaning to it. It’s interesting how such a simple gesture can have such an impact. I was able to leave the class feeling good about my choice to study trauma, and honestly I kind of needed that. I have had so many doubts about what I want to do professionally and those doubts begin to really take a toll on me. However, this experience allowed me a chance to move my reservations to the back burner, if only for a few days, and focus on something positive for...

    In regards to the lessons we learned about being involved with community building projects, the most important lesson we learned as a group was, making sure the values and goals you have as group are the same as the ones represented in the charity you picked. This is important in a fund raising activity because it improves your motivation and adds an element of passion. If a group is fundraising and drawing up all these reports for a charity that they do not think is making the community any better than it currently is, the group is not going to have enough motivation to finish the fundraising. We were motivated by the goal

    In order to evaluate my role within the group, it is important to identify what makes a group. A group must firstly consist of more than three members, “Two members have personal relationships; with three or more there is a change in quality” of the personal relationship. (Bion 1961, p26) The group must have a common purpose or a goal in order to succeed. Having now completed my group work task, I can look back and reflect upon the process that my group went through to get to the presentation end point.

  • A Summary of My Community Service project

    For the Immaculate Conception School I did many events. First for the I.C.S I helped to set up with two of the Junior High Socials and ran one of the games at the Halloween party. Through working with our school I learned valuable skills of teamwork and leadership by working with others and being a role model. I learned how to work with others successfully by learning my way of solving a problem might differ than my peers and when we think together we can come up with very effective methods to solve problems that would normally be very difficult. I also learned that when a group is cooperating and working together they can accomplish their goals very quickly and sucsesfully. Also while I was running one of the games at the Halloween party I felt a sense of responsibility to act appropriately in front of the children so they would have a good example to follow.

    While reading chapter 1 of The American School and chapter 3 from the Educational Foundations textbook Why Teach? I was able to reflect and come up with many different questions, comments, and concerns about the reading material. Chapter 1 out of The American School textbook talked about thinking critically about history. The main points of this chapter were how to interpret school history, the purposes of educational history, globalization, racial and ethnic conflict, and themes in American educational history. While reading this I was able to reflect back on the past, and think about how schools were run years ago. Schools have changed very much over time, and this reading really made me think about different issues that schools had. The

    Before Economics 210, I really had no understanding or a slight background in how the economy works and how it fails. One of the major fails being the housing market crash leading to the 2008 – 09 recession. I had heard a great deal about how it was “bad,” along with how many people lost their jobs, but no one ever really went into depth of why it was bad, and maybe I guess I never had the curiosity or interest to ask until recently. Throughout this class, we’ve spoken about things from the first chapter to the 22nd chapter that all explain a little bit about the financial crisis. Now that it’s the end of class, we’re able to put everything together into one to understand the financial crisis at full, from the opportunity cost in in chapter one, to the aggregate demand curve in chapter 22, everything has been adding up.

Moreover, group work taught me how to manage time, how to divide work equally and improved my listening skills.

    In his book, Learning and Behavior, Paul Chance and Mark A. Krause (2008) states that positive reinforcement, according with Skinner, occur whether the emergence of or the increment in the intensity of a stimulus, follow a behavior. This stimulus is known as positive reinforce and its main function is strengthen the behavior that come before it. Positive reinforcement is also known as rewarding learning because reinforces often tend to be rewards, but Skinner did not like this way to called it. Skinner argued that even though people are rewarded through this process, it is important to keep in mind that the behavior is reinforced. So, when we called it rewarding learning, it makes more emphasize in the reward instead of the behavior which is strengthened. In positive reinforcement not everything that we considered as reward are so, as something which are considered as aversion, are reward. In the same line, Pierce and his colleague (2004) states that although positive reinforcement often include consequence such as food, praise and money, it cannot be considered as reinforces until...

    As a young student, I went to several different schools, both public and private. I went from schools with populations ranging from 50 students to 2,000. Class sizes varied, depending on the amount of kids in school with me. I can recall my smallest class size as 16, and my largest class size as 35. All these different environments helped to shape my understanding of schools and develop my philosophy of education. Both school and teaching is about growing, learning and changing together.

    Doing the group project gave me an opportunity not only to learn about the topic that my group chose, but also have interactions with others when doing interviews and group work. This process helped me understand and experience real life’s working environment and prepare for my future career. The project also strengthened a thing that I considered important in my life: I could not judge people by my own values; sometimes, I had to put myself into one’s position and context to understand them and their behaviors.

  • Exploring Faith: A Personal Journey Through Pascal's Wager

    1138 Words  | 3 Pages

    Pascal’s wager states “even under the assumption that God’s existence is unlikely, the potential benefits of believing are so vast as to make betting on theism rational” (Saka). This was the most influential philosophy to me throughout the course. When the subject of theology was brought up in class, I was nervous but also intrigued. I was born into an uncommon kind of household with two atheist parents. My family celebrated Christmas and Easter but we never made any holiday directly about God. For the majority of my adolescence I identified as an atheist without any knowledge of any religious beliefs except the most prominent basics of Christianity and Judaism. My parents did, however, express to me why they thought religion was bad. I was told it was just an excuse for fighting, ignorance, control, and that it was all fantasy. They always allowed me to make my own decision on this
