Jocelyn Chan Ms.Heaney, Period 5 English 3-4 Honors 20 January 2016 Expected School-wide Learning Results Yearly Reflection During the past school year, I have exhibited qualities of a Champion of Scholarship in the following ways: As a Critical and Creative Thinker: I have received and evaluated information for my classmates in my English class so that their work can be developed to a better or well organized format. I have also received and evaluated information in my geometry class for instance my homework or when working with a team in a problem. I have identified problems and formulated solutions in my geometry class and in my chemistry class which was difficult but …show more content…
Heaney when she talks to the whole class I feel like she is only talking to me because I am looking at her and listening which makes me even more focused on the person. I have articulated ideas and thoughts clearly when someone is explaining to me or when I am about to say something or before I action. As a Collaborative Worker: I have developed interpersonal skills by trying to make friends and talking to strangers in school that of course are in my class and by entering the teen entrepreneur academy in summer that led me to do presentation better than when I was in 9th grade. I have valued individuals ideas when working in a team or when debating in class or outdoors for example in my dance class and English class I have valued my classmates ideas in how to structure the steps or how to create a do what chart. I have contributed to a team in all my classes for example in my geometry class we students have our teams to work with and as well in my Spanish class that lets us communicate when we do not understand a lesson. As an Empowered …show more content…
Also by being organized with school work and my personal life. In personal behavior I remind myself to try my best and not to give up because it will not be any ones else fault but my own. In role modeling I have tried and will even try better to be a role model for those younger and older than me so they can say I admire you you are an inspiring living being. I have shown Integrity: In words such as not telling lies nor to my family, friends, and teachers. In actions such as always looking someone to their eyes when they are talking or when I am talking I always do because not only does it show respect but it also lets me focus on the person. In decisions I try to make the correct choices that I will not regret a minute later after I have made the decision. I have demonstrated Servant Leadership: By giving my time to those in need and helping others who just need someone to help them. In addition by giving advice to others for example my friends. By being a good follower to those doing the correct choices and those who make the wrong choices but are fixing
Mihika Garg Ms.Panes English 1A, P4 22 May 2023 Script Although English 1A was just a little part of my high school journey, I believe that it had a prominent impact on my abilities and on me as a student overall. I discovered my love for reading and writing again. I never genuinely liked writing before but after this English class my writing skills have grown and I have found how expressing yourself with words can be so valuable. From reading, I learned lessons that I may have never learned unless I had experienced them.
When I think of leadership, I think of it as a skill that not everyone can develop. For me, it took numerous times of being a follower or a leader, before developing this skill and form the type of leader that I wanted to become. The particular leadership experience that I’m most proud of would have to be leading my high school wrestling team. I started off the season by enthusiastically creating an atmosphere that new members of the team would feel welcomed and strengthened the bonds I had with veteran members.
By volunteering at my local church and helping with local service projects, I have realized the commitment and perseverance it takes to lead by example. At my local church I continue to help with the organization of my youth group. After speaking at church staff meetings for several months we made it our goal to improve the youth group by ensuring that children and teens of all ages were included and had an opportunity to participate. I was able to create a system where teens who attended high school were paired with a middle school individual of the church. This provided a sense of inclusiveness and made the youth group more enjoyable for everyone.
Through volunteering, I realized successful leaders exhibit perseverance and are self-disciplined and that servant leadership is not a specific style or skill but rather, it is about (a leader’s) behavior and actions, that are adopted over the longer term. As a leader, it is important to understand the organizational mission, values and long-term vision, whether one is working for the organization or a volunteer of it, to effectively and whole-heartedly serve the organization. This experience showed me the areas in my leadership, where I can improve upon. I recognized the importance of listening to others and what a vital part it plays, in building strong and successful relationships. I also recognized, that I tend to want to nurture and care for others, and while that is important, it is also important to recognize when an individual may not welcome that and that is okay.
Teams are groups of people who come together to reach a desired goal. In my life, I am part of many teams like in soccer, school, and my family. From these teams I have formed my belief about the importance of working with others. I have recognized that a team player is a person who can form good chemistry, can contribute to a team, and can help their fellow teammates. I believe that from my experience in soccer, school, and with my family, that being a team player is essential for success in life.
At competitions with team events, I organize my team’s approach to the problems, delegating tasks to various members and motivating them to complete their assigned task, all while working on my own problems. In addition, I participate on Chicago’s selective All-Star Regional Math Team. My involvement in scholastic bowl includes my position as my team’s captain. I take responsibility for the team as a whole and lead the team at all
Making conversation with the kids everyone else ignores. Letting that young lady know she dropped her wallet. Returning that young man's phone he left on the table. Studying day and night and going above and beyond with whatever is thrown in my direction.
Through the course of this class I have been exposed to number of new ideas and concepts that I was unaware of. Many of these ideas play out in my everyday life which has given me a chance to experience them and observe them. Know that I have been exposed to the Ideas I can look back over my life and point out were some of these concepts played a major role. One concept that has been present in my life and played a major role in not only my life but many other people even shaping many people's future is racism. Hensil defines racism as discrimination on the basis of race (Henslin 245).
Having a solid foundation growing up creates a path to success. Growing up my parents taught me how to conduct myself. my first impression is a lasting impression when meeting people. Respecting others goes a long way in America. Treating people the way you want to be treated is a golden rule, I try to exercise this rule daily.
During my junior year of high school, I was a member of the Bridgeport FFA Agricultural Issues Forum, a competitive speaking event in which a team of three to seven students composes a fifteen-minute presentation over a current issue in agricultural industries that describes every standpoint (even if they are conflicting) on the issue, and professionally answer educated questions about the issue, without clearly advocating any one side. My team and I chose the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed redefinition of the term “waters of the United States” in the Clean Water Act to be the issue in our presentation. And, although our presentation remained neutral, we were all personally against the EPA’s redefinition. Because of this, we were somewhat anxious when we performed our presentation for the senior policy advisor for agriculture of EPA region six, Eugene Thilsted, and his associates. We weren’t worried that our presentation was too one-sided, for we included equal amounts of substantial information for both sides; however, we were unsure whether they would agree with the validity of all the information, for some of the information we found was given in different manners depending on the bias of the source.
An experience at my practicum agency that I had to manage my prejudiced/biased thoughts, feelings, or reactions in order to work effectively with an individual really only had to do with me as being a person observing. I was riding along on a drug and alcohol counseling appointment and the AODA counselor asked what I thought about sponsorship and what it meant to be one. I really was trying to not be a part of the treatment but my supervisor mentioned I had been talking to the client frequently about the 12 steps. I told him what I thought about the position of sponsor and what it means to the individual. I didn’t tell him where I got my information from or how much research had been done in the formulation of my stand/belief on the subject,
For example, if my mentee needs guidance with a subject I am unfamiliar with, I am motivated to think outside the box and be resourceful in order to work together and master the skill needed to be successful in the task at hand. In addition, outside of school I volunteered on a weekly basis with Canadian Young Judaea as a member of the organization’s youth
Ex. I consistently try to help my team members complete their assigned tasks. For example, I offer coverage for shift tasks, when a fellow employee need time off work. In addition, I assist my fellow co-workers with completing tasks that sometimes run after their scheduled hours, like ONLC and reservations. Another example of my teamwork skills is the Craigslist revamp.
I have made it a priority to implement self-care into my life, whether it be having a bubble bath, going for a walk or just sitting alone for five minutes. I have also remained loyal to myself by taking the negatives out of my life, whether that be thoughts, or people. Forgiveness- Throughout my life there have been hardships that have come and gone, I have noticed that holding on the anger and frustrations of these events have given me more stress than the actual events. I will show forgiveness by allowing that person or people back into my life, with some circumstances.
Before I came to Ashesi, I did not know anything about servant leadership so I would not have been able to tell if I was practicing it or not. However, looking back on my life, I can point out some things I did which can be described as servant leadership. There was a time back in Senior High School
