Recommended: Reflect on the development of own communication skills, noting areas for improvement

It was great talking to Daniel this week and chatting about some common issues that we have been encountering regarding understanding NVC/CC as well as the challenges of integrating it into our own lives. I found connecting with someone about these struggles was extremely helpful to fill my need for understanding and to not feel as anxious about starting on the road of NVC/CC. Previous to CIRCLE, NVC and CC did not appear a lot in my life and still doesn’t (yet :) ), especially in my relationships with my family. Often, individuals in my family place blame and judgement on others, while not taking responsibility for their own actions, creating an unhealthy atmosphere filled with violent communication. Also, I have noticed that we complain about other individuals in the family instead of nonviolently and openly communicating. Additionally, we often put off getting closure after disagreements, which is another form of violent/dirty communication. I can only speak for myself, but I believe that for this stems from some of the statements brought up in the reading, such as “They’re never going to change … so this is pointless and “I’m scared”. Although, reflecting back on my friendships, I think that there were some areas in my life where aspects of CC. For example, my best friend and I have increasingly started honest dialogues …show more content…

Because it was my last year at camp, I was feeling sad and overwhelmed. I also had a lot of emotions about an instance of violent communication with a counselor, which combined into me crying. Greta was extremely helpful by empathizing with me both verbally and nonverbally during a time when I felt vulnerable, confused and emotional. Due to this experience and the impact it had on me, I am excited to see the difference I can make at camp by utilizing the tools of

A further breakdown of my score is as follows: Group Discussion-26, Meetings-26, Interpersonal Conversations-24, and Public Speaking-24.

    She expressed the honor and privilege it is to pour into the lives of young ones especially those lost and trouble. LaToya emphasized how sometimes you are not playing the guidance counselor but their mommies, which really highlighted the compassion and genuine caring concern for her students. Which provided me with the reminder that your career pathway should not rely on socioeconomic factors but more of a view of where our heart and intentions lie. Additionally, we discussed her schooling experience while pursuing her master’s degree, she had self-doubt with questioning her abilities just myself, however, what eradicated the negativity is experience gained through interning as well as faith. We closed with words of empowerment and motivation instilled in me to further continued education for master’s degree and licensure just as herself.

This is why the attribute is a camp counselor to advances in identity exploration, especially since it allows them to try out roles where they experience being a role model and having some

In this novel, Ehrenreich breaks down her adventures as a low class, low income worker and all the things she must do to survive in such a demanding economy. Each journey throughout this book was broken down into three main parts. Firstly, we take a stop in Key West, located at the very end of Florida.

We see her take life into her own hands when she picks up a job as a waitress in town.

  • Reflective Reflection

    This reflective essay will lay emphasis on one of the learning needs I have developed during my two week taster placement in hospital. Reflection helps an individual build upon their skills and makes room for self-criticism as he or she can contemplate upon actions and make relevant changes (Taylor, 2000). I will be applying the “What”, “So what” and “Now what” model of reflection by Driscoll (2000) in this piece of work because it is a more coherent and comprehensible approach to follow when writing a reflective account and is also an easier guide to writing reflections. The learning need I chose to reflect on from my learning plan is having a better understanding of diabetes and the 6 basic medications used in treating the condition since it is a common illness on the ward I am have been allocated on for my first placement. The timescale set for achieving this objective was by the end of my two week placement that is from 27th January to 9th February and I achieved it with the help of a host of factors. In this assignment, all the names of the patients and wards have been omitted and indicated with letters and numbers for confidentiality reasons as stated in the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) code of conduct (2008). The paper will primarily touch on the type 2 diabetes and furthermore on the achievement on my learning need.

My goal is to get the class, younger adults, and anyone interested in being apart of cheerleading or a team, to see my experience of being a cheerleader. Cheer has provided me with an unlimited amount of benefits such as building my self-esteem, providing me with leadership skills, giving me the opportunity to build relationships, and helping me find my best friends.

  • My Pursuit Of Perfection

    643 Words  | 2 Pages

    I had an amazing time and made many new friends. I was inspired to apply, and become a Junior Counselor the next summer. I have never worked so hard on an application, but in my mind I knew what my goal was, and I was willing to work as hard as I could to achieve it. The work paid off, because in February I received a call and heard that I would be a Junior Counselor at RYLA 2015! My emotions soared. JC’s are supposed to be confident, strong leaders who are the best version of themselves at all times, yet there I was, terrified. Those imperfections and anxious thoughts raced back, and I didn’t believe in myself enough to know what I could do. But that changed starting July 25th, the first day of RYLA. In one short week, my confidence skyrocketed. The transition from childhood to adulthood within me was crystal clear. As a JC, I led a team of twelve teenagers, from all over Colorado. I grew close to each one of them, while learning about their stories and lives. I know that each one of them changed me in a way that I will never forget. Throughout the week we hiked, attempted all sorts of team building exercises, created cheers, and improved skits and dances. Through each moment I felt my leadership skills build, and I watched my team bond closer together. My favorite activity was called, “personal achievements”, where we all shared about adversities we had
