Babpa Bafa Reflection

BaFa BaFa Reflection I believe that everyone has felt like an outsider or felt like they didn’t belong at least once in their lives. During this simulation it brought back many memories where I’ve felt like an outsider. For example, with me I felt like an outsider when my family decided to celebrate Christmas with people from my church like three or four years ago. The reason that I felt like an outsider was because the way these people from church celebrated Christmas was way different from the way my family has always celebrated it. I felt a little uncomfortable and out of place. Usually my family would first have a big dinner and after dinner we would walk around with a baby Jesus doll around the house praying and singing. Then we would sit around …show more content…

I learned that with myself I tend to judge others fairly quickly and I know that I do that and I have actually been working on that talking about it with some of my friends. I also learned that I struggle a lot communicating with others who I do not really know or who are different than I am. I can be a very shy person when I’m around people I barely know and I know that with the career I’m interest I’m going to need to start getting use to talking with people I barely know. I think a great way to start that is in college making new friendships by starting up a conversation with a person I would normally not talk to. Another thing that I have learned is that I also have a hard time understanding others and why they do the things they do. It’s sometimes difficult for me to really understand why people act the way they do and what their culture has to do with the way they act and because of that I tend to judge them because I do not fully understand. This has also made me realize how others judge those around them. I see it every day when I’m on the bus going to class or heading back to my

    I also learned that my friends could be an excellent resources if they were in the same class as me. Another challenge this brought was being around people so much older than me a lot of the time. For example, all of my parent's friends were around their age so I would be surrounded by older adults a lot when I was younger. This posed a challenge since I was just always around people older than me, and that rubbed off on me. I feel that this caused me to be more mature from a younger age, which has its pros and cons.

  • Asam 100 Reflection

    1167 Words  | 5 Pages

    ASAM 100 has been one of the most insightful classes I have taken in college—so far! Through this class, I was able to learn a great deal about my culture and about myself as a person. In retrospect to my first “Why ASAM?” essay, I still believe that it is important for everybody to learn about their culture sometime throughout their life. I was able to learn about various topics such as: the issues of my culture, the traditions of my culture, how others view individuals of my culture, and more. Throughout this class, I learned about the Model Minority Myth and its effect on individuals of Asian background, I learned about issues that other Asian Americans faced through the video, Asian American Voices, and I learned to grow as a writer.

    Reading Reflection Paper #1 The intersection of race, family, war torn experience and cultural diversity have played a crucial role in shaping many Hmong Americans and their acculturation to American society. With the racial tension that has long grouped Hmong students as part of the American model minority stereotypes, this has hampered Hmong students’ success in K-12 schools, and it is long overdue for academic discourse in order to propel Hmong students’ educational success into new heights. It is no longer acceptable for school district to accept the model minority stereotypes and ignore the fact that Hmong students has long struggled and underserved in public schools.

    While reading Deaf Again, I couldn’t help from thinking, how I would have treated Mark through elementary school and high school. I was amazed when he said that he was so used to reading people’s lips and didn’t even notice he was deaf. I know that when I try to read people’s lips without hearing their voice it is very hard. It’s crazy how we take advantage of sound in our everyday lives as human beings. I know that I could not imagine not having the ability to hear sounds of the world.

    I personally believe that the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is currently the most important. For me this was a difficult choice because the CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) and (Department of Homeland Security) are also incredibly important, especially with the difficulties our country is facing today. I do feel, that SAMHSA, being the “umbrella” agency for other services, is in greater need to provide proper care for those affected drugs (especially, heroin) and mental illnesses. Drugs do not discriminate. They can damage anyone’s life, regardless of age, financial class, or ethnic background.

    Antwan, the way you stuck to the story line with interweaving moments of internal reflection in your memoir was very effective. I could imagine the thoughts rushing through your head at each main part of the memoir: seeing the cops in the parking lot, seeing the blue lights in the rearview, waiting on him to come back to your car with your license, and sitting there on the curb reflecting back on everything that had just happened. Even with the back and forth between what was actually occurring and what was happening in your mind, your piece had a good flow without any large jumps in time. This definitely helped me as a reader understand exactly how the night really went. I felt myself wanting to know more about you as a person separate

Regarding the patients of the hospital and their families, I learned how to show compassion and generosity towards strangers that have been stricken by misfortune. An important life lesson that I have acquired throughout the year is that when being involved with volunteer and leadership experience, the greatest reward is not being paid in money or recognition, but being paid in love. The people you provide service to may forget what you said and did, however, they will never forget how it made them
