Mid-Term Reflection

Half way done


1. Understanding: I am one that has never had that much confidence in myself or independence. This is one thing in my life that I believe hinders me in doing the best that I can do.I am afraid of confrontation and afraid to ask questions. Someday I will overcome that and move past the fear.
2. Practice: Once we start our practicum I will be able to reflect on this more since nothing has really been put into practice.
3.Understanding: I believe this will also grow once we actually get into the classroom at Apache. I feel as of right now my knowledge on the subject is very little other then sign language, but I feel will grow once we get into the classroom.
4.Understanding:I do believe that my prior experience in life, having been to Thailand, working in a pre-school, ect. will really allow my growth in diverse students as times goes on. I feel like this is an experienced learned process which will get better with the years.
5.Reflection: Being that I have been to Thailand, i feel that after this trip any of my biases on anything in life has been diminished. I feel like any biases that I had completely left my body the second that I stepped into a refugee camp. Everyone should step foot into a place such as this.

So far this semester, I believe that I have participated in all that we have done in class, completed all the assignments that have been assigned, and have not missed a class or have not been late. For that reason I do believe that I deserve an A this far.

I have been somewhat lost this first part of the semester, not knowing exactly what needs to be done in all my classes, so for myself I am going to get a huge planner to write everything down and try and start to manage my time a lot better with work and with school. I need to stop procrastinating and get things done.

The only thing for me that would help aid in my learning process, (which it is not about me) but just thinking, is having a more structured time line when it comes to assignments and class schedule. I am one that has to have everything in order, and without order I am lost.
