Public Speaking Self Reflection
Public Speaking Self–Reflection
COM/128
May 11, 2014
Public speaking has always been very hard for me, I've never been the type to stand in front of an
audience and speak or do a presentation. No matter how many times I've done presentations I've
always get nervous or shy and always forget what I rehearsed. In the military I was training Nco,
everytime we had a new marine check in to our unit or are shop. I would be the one to give them
and the A presentation on what is expected of them and also give them information about the unit
and our shop. In my opinion the Marine Corp prepared me for public speaking, especially if you
where lower rank and your senior enlisted would throw you to the wolves and send you up there to

What do you want to accomplish in this course?
Whether I like it or not I been given the opportunity to talk to large crowds like a squadron or just a
couple of people in the class. My problems have always been the same getting shy, anxiety, and
even sweating. Learn to analyze the size of the audience, I want to be able to captivate my audience
and overall I just need to find the confidence in myself to do it.
How would you plan to improve weak areas to accomplish your goals? Overall no matter how many
times I do a rehearsal or practice I always get stage fright. Stage fright is my weakest area I have
done rehearsals and private or with one or two people but when it comes to the bigger picture I
always freeze. I need to learn to speak with confidence and try to get the audience involved instead
of rushing the presentation or speaking very softly so no one hears me I need to be able to let the
audience know that I am confident and the information that I am sharing is worth their time to listen

Self Reflection Paper On Identity
Identity Self–Reflection I, Oscar, was born in the city of Santa Ana, El Salvador, the second of 5
children of a very poor family. I was raised in El Salvador up to the age of 15 years old. Due to a
civil war that devastated the country and its people, I was forced to depart and try to find a better life
in other horizons. I arrived in Los Angeles, California where I found myself in a different
environment. Living in a mostly Hispanic neighborhood, where people spoke Spanish, but a lot of
the words I could not understand because there were slang words from different Hispanic countries,
and some other ones were a mix of Spanish and English. It was a mixture of cultures and languages.
Soon after my arrival, I was enrolled at a white majority high school, Ulysses S. Grant High School
from where I graduated in 1983. Then I married my wife Gladys, our wedding service took place in
the oldest Catholic Mexican church in the city, and our reception took place in Chinatown. I already
had my two daughters and was working full–time when I started to go to school at the Los Angeles
City College, where I earned an Associate's Degree in Liberal Studies. By the time I enrolled in the
Army, I was already 32 years of age, my assignments have taken me to Korea, Kosovo, Macedonia,
Europe, Iraq and Afghanistan, and have been stationed in four different states in the continental
United States but visited 34 states and almost all Europe. In the military, I worked as a construction

A Reflection On The Self Identity Essay
Mirrored Self Is the person I claim to be, actually me, or is it just the person that I will be one day?
My entire life I have been asked the quintessential questions, "Who are you?" or, "Tell me a little
about yourself?" But there are several problems with these key questions; people never give the
god's honest truth. It is as if there is a social norm to reply by saying, "
I am an ambitious person,
who also enjoys having fun!" or something in close comparison. Now, after marinating in the
awkward conversation you just had, you think, "If only they knew the real me..." or, "Who am I
really?" My true identity was not randomly picked out of a hat, or given to by a fortune teller; I am
who I have allowed myself to become. To begin, there are several biological factors that have
created my self–identity; without my ability to alter or change. Miraculously, I am the youngest
member of a packed Caucasian household. Being the youngest, I have been the most sheltered and
protected in the family. Growing up with 5 brothers and sisters allowed me to mature much faster
than I had to; when paired with an older sibling, you had to behave like them. On the other hand, my
mother always saw me as the baby of the family; the one needing the most amount of love and
attention. Having such a strong mother and son bond led to several life changing circumstances. I
was protected from contact sports, I was more emotional than the others, I picked up feminine
niches, and I saw females as friends

Personal Reflection On Group Work
Personal Reflection
"Group work is a form of voluntary association of members benefiting from cooperative learning
that enhances the total output of the activity than when done individually".
Working in a group can be very difficult at times. Different people with different views may not
always agree which one another. Throughout the various task I played the communicator. I made
sure everyone was on track on what we wanted to do. I also made sure people was okay and happy
in the role they was playing in the group. My group worked together in collecting ideas from one
another and making it into one. My feelings about the group process was a little mix at first but, at
the end I felt like we actually brought it together. Beginning of the group member were all over the
place and had no direction, when we were able to take a breather in just think ideas started to flow. I
felt like that took the communicator to make it happen. By reinsuring the other group members that
everything will go smoothly if we just don't overthink everything. The things I will have done
differently in the group was to use my time wisely. I believe because we were on a time frame, I
tended to rush things just to say okay where done. Also, more support and trust at a point of time I
was kind of second guessing another idea
. I feel that you have to have trust in your group member to
make it effective.

Reflection Paper On Self Awareness
Learning about myself is always something I appreciate and enjoy; because, these objective
evaluations help me understand myself in a way that inspires growth; the questions and structure of
the assessment resonated with my true feelings, inciting reflection, and making me more transparent.
Dissecting my personality type has improved the understand of myself and others, allowing me to
appreciate my strengths more, and improve my weaknesses. Self–awareness is a powerful
mechanism for evaluating individual, group, and organizational dynamics in and way that is
enriching and positive. Becoming a better, more Christ–like version of myself is my passion; this

Values an Attitude Insights Being my best at being me, is a liberating attitude, and has galvanized
my determination to focus on the values, attitudes, and insights that are most significant;
subsequently, this focus constrains me to cut improvident expenditures from every area of my life
and thinking, deciding, as the McGraw–Hill (2016) assessment asks, "What are my core values?" (p.
2). Receiving and evaluation of high, on a scale of 8–10, in both achievement (10) and self–
direction (9), the assessment deepened my resolve that my ultimate core value is to cultivate a more
Christ–like attitude to guide my life, superior to all other desires. Genuine success in this regard
dictates that I have full reliance on His intrinsic and extrinsic strength and control. Accordingly, love
is my highest value; and, I accept there will always be room for improvement; this is the essence of
my trust and risk taking, knowing I will fall short, but striving to excel none–the–less. Motivation
Insights Discovering what motivates my communications has been an extraordinary and interesting
process. Candidly answering the questions of the evaluation had fundamental, intrinsic impact when
considering why I sometimes engage as I do, and, revealed an element of subconscious fear which
motivated certain extrinsic behaviors. Angelo Kinicki and Mel

My Self Reflection Paper
Ever since I was a young girl, I have been drawn to writing. It helped me make up for the lack of
creativity that I had in other areas. Although I have gotten a lot of writing practice in, I still seem to
let plenty of errors slip by without being aware of it. I want to become a better writer with each
paper I write. Therefore, in order to further progress in my writing abilities, I want to address my
current strengths, weaknesses, and goals for the future.
I often lack the confidence to clearly communicate my strengths in any area of life, but more
specifically, writing. However, after looking at the grades on my most recent paper, I am able to see
more clearly what my strengths consist of. I noticed that I tend to always get the points

Besides that, I have a few other weaknesses, and small punctuation errors are one of them. The
amount of times that I have made a comma or colon error is hilarious, yet slightly discouraging. I
am working hard on improving these errors and trying not to let them get to me as much as they do.
I do, in fact, have a few goals for the continuing semester of Composition One. I desire to work on
my pronoun agreements, which I know I can find in The Little, Brown Compact Handbook on page
240. I also want to become better at my word choices, as I know that a lot of them are non–
descriptive and somewhat basic. I know that I am capable of accessing plenty of resources, such as
the Thesaurus, to help me come up with better adjectives to place in my papers. It is simply a matter
of taking advantage of those resources to help me achieve that success. I also will become better at
adding transitions, and I intend to practice them at home whenever I have the chance. I know how to
use FANBOYS and HOTSHOT CATS; however, I struggle with identifying where they would fit
best in the paper. I look forward to getting better at these goals as I continue through Composition
One. My draw to writing has really been beneficial for me throughout my seventeen years of age. I
have been able to use it to express myself more than any other art medium. Now that I am able to
identify my strengths, weaknesses, and goals, I can progress towards becoming a

Reflection About Myself
During this Semester I have written six essays, and all of them were a little different. All of them
had a different purpose in writing and required a different skill too. There are things that I did both
good and bad in writing all of these essays. The first essay that I had to write for this class was a
Self–Assessment essay
, about my writing career and how the four basics have been involved in my
life. This was a more personal essay about myself, while I have also had to write some essays about
a feeling that I had, and also one about a specific topic. There were several different essays, and
ways that I had to write them. The first essay I wrote, the Self–Assessment, was about the four
basics and how they have been in my life and

I chose dedication because I knew that it was something that I could write a lot on. This was my
favorite essay to write in the class, mostly because the topic was something that I could write a lot
on. The best part about this essay is the way that it was written, it was very easy to read. Also the
way the opposing views and examples worked well in showing how what I said was good. The
ending could have been a lot better, there was not much of a conclusion to it, and it was weak
compared to how the rest of the essay was. Also, I tended to have some very long paragraphs, and
then some smaller ones too. I need to work better on making sure that all of the paragraphs are
closer in length and how to try and limit writing on one specific topic (paragraph) and learn how to
move onto the next.
After that, there was the Research Essay, and I chose to write on concussion in football. I chose to
write on this topic, because I have always been interested in this. I explained what a concussion was,
and how people get them and what to do when you have one. I also talked about the new changes or
ways that the sport is making to help prevent concussions. I liked how the essay flowed and it was
set up. There were things that I could have done better in the paper, and one

Being a teacher is not an easy task as many people could think. To be a teacher does not only imply
to know the subject to be taught, it also includes being willing to constantly improve oneself
integrally, as much as updating the resources and materials one uses in teaching. Reflecting and
analyzing over and over again the best way to teach to learn and how to make students to extend
what has been learned. The many hours spend in the classroom will never be enough to plan lessons,
prepare materials, review pupils tasks and exams, as well, all the administrative requirements one
has to cover for whatever institution we work. Besides all this a good teacher, a professional one,

It has not been easy but challenging and interesting. Unfortunately in this present job I have no
colleagues, institution authorities or supervisors, which means anything I do in the classroom hardly
ever provides me any feedback of what I am doing. Except of course for the eventual commentaries
I receive from my students and the annual performance evaluation. Therefore I had this urgent
necessity of obtaining some refreshment and reviewing of what I am doing in my classroom. I need
to make a stop to reflect about how effective my teaching is. If the things I am doing are adequate
and suitable to take my pupils to achieve their goal to communicate in the target language. Teaching
in this context was at the beginning of the journey a frightening and stressing episode, first of all
because I did not know anything about mining, geology, finance and accounting, just to mention
some and not to make myself look like a complete ignorant. Secondly the atmosphere in a corporate
has nothing to do with the informal ambience in an elementary school and thirdly but not least
important, the students expectations and perceptions are not the same. Thus, I had to remake myself.
Everything started when I was invited to work with them; I did the typical searching about the
company and the leaders, anyone would do for that first good desirable impression one wants to

Essay about Self-Reflection: Writing Composition
I have always enjoyed writing, and I believed writing was a subject I was naturally good at. I turned
in papers that were still rough drafts, I did not evaluate my sources, nor did I ever take the time to
fully understand the prompt. It was not until my first semester of college, in my writing composition
course, I realized that I had a lot of work ahead of me to be as good a writer as I thought I was. In
the writing course, the students were required to compose several essays using different methods to
help progress on the course objectives. The work in this portfolio demonstrates that I have used the
methods of synthesis and evaluation of sources to advance my critical thinking skills and develop
personal responsibility. Though I have

I was able to interpret the different type of impact the subjects experienced and then I was able to
give a potential reason to why the impact on the subjects was different. In a more recent synthesis
essay, called "Ashputtle and the Rough–Faced Girl", I wrote "Ashputtle is given clothes to heal her
emotional wounds" (Tharwani 2). In the story, the author does not reveal the symbolic relationship
between the clothes and Ashputtle's emotional wounds; I had to critically think and recognize this
symbolic relationship. I feel I have significantly improved my critical thinking skills to a point
where I can confidently call it one of my b strengths in writing. However, I improved my critical
thinking skills by not only writing synthesis essays, but also by evaluating sources to use in those
essays. Another method, evaluation of sources, further progress my critical thinking skills and
helped me develop personal responsibility. When writing essays, quotes are a great strategy to prove
a point. However, finding the right quotes and as well as deciding if the source of the quote is
reliable might be a challenge for some people; this was not the case for me. In one of my essays,
called "Shocking Results", I wrote "Jerry Burger, a psychologist, points out that 'follow–up

Reflection About Self Compassion
Self Compassion and love are two things everyone needs to discover. When you discover the true
concepts and apply them to your everyday life your outlook on life can be transformed. Using the
concepts from the book "Self–Compassion" by Kristin Neff, I will discuss the idea of self–
compassion and provide examples of my life experiences and strategies that I have used. Then I will
use the concepts from the books "Lovability" by Robert Holden and "Whatever Arises Love That"
by Matt Kahn to discuss the idea of knowing how to love and be loved. I will share my fears, doubts
and difficulties about love and provide examples of my life experiences and strategies that I have
used. Lastly, I will reflect on how I have changed and developed as a

I decided to try something different and retake the questionnaire and answer the questions as I think
I would have answered around the age of 20. This time I scored a 2.43 which indicated that I was
low in self–compassion when I was in my 20's. I do not believe that age necessarily makes you have
more self–compassion however, for me I have changed through the years as I practiced many of the
ideas in the book and grew. Although I scored in the range of high self–compassion it was on the
low side of this range which means I can still improve my self–compassion.
Life Experiences When we focus on our shortcomings we tend to focus all our energy on our own
feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. We then feel like we are the only ones who feel this way and
nobody else has gone through what we are going through. If we feel unworthy we separate ourselves
from others, we isolate and feel all alone. Unfortunately, the more we feel imperfect the more we
isolate and the less we feel like we belong. When I got sober and started attending AA the feeling
that I was not alone and that I belonged to a group who understood what I was going through helped
me to stay sober. It is amazing how feeling like you belong and that you can be yourself with no one
judging you, can heal your negative feelings about yourself.
Having compassion for others also means forgiving those who have hurt us.

Self Reflection On Entrepreneurship
In this assignment I aim to self–reflect on my personal entrepreneurial skill.
According to the Cambridge dictionary self–reflection is 'the activity of thinking about your own
feelings and behaviour, and the reasons that may lie behind them'. Self–reflection is a crucial part of
development, one of the reasons for this is because self–reflection enables you to review yourself. It
then becomes easier for you to evaluate your performance, this can be used to make improvements
for the future.
Entrepreneurship
The Oxford dictionary define entrepreneurship as 'The activity of setting up a business or
businesses, taking on financial risks in the hope of profit.' An Entrepreneur consists of an individual
who is both creative and innovative; I believe an entrepreneur is an open–minded individual; this
enables them to think of creative thoughts and ideas that they can use to set–up their own
business/businesses. In order to put these creative thoughts and ideas to good use they also need to
be innovative. The 'Business Dictionary' states that Entrepreneurship is 'The capacity and
willingness to develop, organize and manage a business venture along with any of its risks in order
to make a profit.' This supports the fact that as an entrepreneur you need to be willing to take
calculated risks, with the aim of prospering and therefore meeting aims and objectives. An
entrepreneur needs to be able to handle taking a loss; an entrepreneur would usually learn from this
to enhance their skills so that less mistakes occur in the future.
Self–Reflection is crucial for development (Kolb, 1984)
In my previous education institution, a reflection was undertaken in teamworking. We worked as a
team and set–up a project for a talent show. After we accomplished this we handed out
questionnaires to our audience (to gather feedback on how we performed); we were then able to use
the distributed questionnaire to gather more knowledge and understanding on various methods that
we could improve for the future.
Hobbs and Kolb are authors who have a strong belief in reflecting on your work. As an entrepreneur
this is crucial as it enables you to find any errors that you may have made to then rectify them. An
example of this is when I

Reflective Essay On Self Esteem
Self–acceptance is an extremely prevalent issue that numerous people struggle with. It is one of the
hardest to surmount, for it is something I still struggle with to this day. Overall, my journey is a
working progress as it will perpetuate to have its downfalls to test me. Like many of my generation,
social media has played an excessively paramount role in our lives, both negatively and positively.
Sources of harmless entertainment have also unintentionally encouraged self–judgment. Be that as it
may, my perspective has been widely opened unexpectedly through a speaker's presentation as she
showed us how to recognize our self–worth. Confidence and self–esteem are hard to acquire for
some, but it should not be a quantity you divest yourself of. Self–acceptance of all insecurities and
doubts is paramount since every individual has a unique beauty that should be cherished in order to
pursue a life full of love and jubilance.
During my sophomore year in high school, we had a Career Day with several guest speakers. They
had split us up by gender, the girls stayed on the right side of the school while the boys stayed on the
left. We could not enter the opposite sides considering we had presentations concretely for each
group. As the boys had speakers to discuss the development of a gentleman, we had speakers
addressing topics relating to makeup and on how to be a lady. Towards the end of the day, my
friends and I decided to choose our last presentation randomly. As we entered the room, there was
this resplendent woman with a surprisingly cordial atmosphere. She addressed us as if we were her
own children; you could sense the love she had for positivity before she even commenced to speak.
She gave us a background story of her childhood during our age, for she too had struggled with
accepting herself with all her insecurities. She described her several encounters with bullying and
how it had impacted her self–esteem even though she appeared so vigorous and confident. I admired
that about her the most, not once did she ever show the slightest bit of weakness, yet she too had
relatable problems. Then she mandated us to indite down the worst thing someone had ever verbally
expressed about us, even if it were of our own

objective I decided to create the print literature using the classic techniques of drawing by pencil,
which I did draw out for most of the structure. Some details were outside my capacity because I'm
not an artistic, but I used outside resources to help me express what I envisioned. Before drawing I
reviewed other web pages within the Heritage University website and outside websites to get an idea
of where to start. Anyone can draw what they believe is "okay" but the importance of marketing is
not what you want to see or do. People are the customers, so I made sure to understand what people

Self-Reflective Essay
During the course of the quarter, I feel that I have progressed somewhat. I've gained a lot of
knowledge on rhetorical strategies and how to present arguments effectively. In the writings I have
written, I feel that each writing works towards meeting the course goals. Logos, ethos, and pathos
were strategies and ideas we were introduced to (if not already in the past) and were built upon
throughout the quarter. The knowledge gained over the course of the quarter weren't only those three
types of appeals. Rhetorical strategies like proposals helped reinforce the course and using rhetorical
analysis in different situations have become easier throughout the quarter. I believe that I have made
sufficient progress towards becoming a better

The logos of the box would be derived from . . . The pathos of this box could be interpreted from . . .
The ethos of this box can be recognized from . . ." (Ngo Autobio 4). Also, I addressed one the course
goal in revising my writing and using feedback to help facilitate this. In this paper alone, I feel that I
have made some progress in the course (mainly using logos, ethos, and pathos as a rhetorical
strategy in this paper). My second pieces of writings (two proposals) reflected my progress in the
ability to to use feedback and revise my writings which was a course goal. In this case, many
rhetorical strategies were employed. Revisions weren't as simple as changing grammar and using
correct punctuation (although that was something that helped me grow as a writer). A change of
style was implemented from my "Cornell–styled Box Project Proposal #1" to my revision. I also
used feedback I received to rewrite many parts of my rewrite. Effectively using feedback has helped
me move towards the course goals since revisions were never my strong point. This usually was
because I never needed to do many revisions in high school and especially since high school was
much easier than now. Also, I progressed enough to understand how to use the pathos in one text
and turn it into something entirely different yet arguing the same things. "The strongest feeling I
received from the text Inception is the cliched saying of

Essay on Self-Assessment and Reflection
Self–Assessment and Reflection
In the last seven weeks, I had an opportunity to look back and analyze the events that has shaped my
life. This was a unique experience where I was emotionally comfortable enough to look back at life.
I was able to objectively revisit many events that were often buried and too painful to face. I was
free from the turmoil of emotional fears of failure, anger, regret and loneliness, which often clouded
my perception. .
I was able to dwell on many pleasant and unpleasant events with more comfort and confidence. I
accepted each event as part of life, regardless of whether it was a good or bad experience. I
understand that life transpires even when we are not prepared for it, but more importantly, it

I supported myself financially, emotionally and mentally. Even though my move to Houston was the
right one, I executed the move without thinking things through. I should have stopped being self–
centered and thought of the pain and anguish that it would cause my parents. This life learning
experience has been a double–edged sword, because it has taught me to stand up for what I want, yet
on the other hand, sometimes running away is probably the best thing to do, which will help to clear
clouded thoughts and refocus on my destination.
Play to Win by Larry Wilson introduces a simplistic, yet optimistic, method of viewing life. It
embraces two fundamental views – emotional and spiritual maturity that allows us to evaluate who
we are. "Life is an adventure to be experienced, lived, experimented with and committed to."
(Wilson,1998, p.89) This statement alone tells us that we are in control of our lives. We all can
choose dissimilar and painful paths to get to the safe place and that is okay.
When looking back, my second life–learning lesson came through financial growth. This growth
was to some extent expected, since I was so lavish with cash. My financial motto was that money
comes and money goes. I knew eventually, I needed to get a grasp on my foolish spending habit, but
it spun out of control with each purchase. There were days where I would squander money like there
was no tomorrow. I never planned for the future let alone on for the next meal. For the

Self Reflection Paper Sample
Client Name: Shaindy
Age: 30
Relationship: Neighbor
I started out my session making some small talk with my client, Shaindy. We discussed how things
went the previous week and what we're looking forward to accomplish in the upcoming week.
After our preliminary discussion, I bought up the topic of goal setting. I had her complete the '
Food
Frequency Questionnaire'. This form was extremely helpful for my data analysis and interpretation.
It was also a great way to show Shaindy how unvaried and unbalanced her food intake is. Currently,
my client doesn't eat any meals, which resulted in high servings of refined grains, fats, oils, and
sweets, per day. In addition, her diet barely consists of vegetables, so we discussed that this will be
our goals for the upcoming week.

My inquiring as to why she chose this particular number, had her respond that she is ready to make
changes, but not confident that she'll be able to pull it through. I gave her words of encouragement
and explained to her that we all slip sometimes and the main thing is to get back on track. This
seemed to calm her down, and she said she felt more confident now and was ready to discuss our
goal setting options.
I used the mnemonic SMART to ensure that our goals are attainable for my client. The first goal was
meal setting. I asked my client to focus on one meal that she feels she can implement without drastic
changes, and she opted for breakfast. I started out with the specifics, and explained to her what a
healthy breakfast should consist of, such as a whole grain starch and protein. We discussed some
combination options, such as bran cereal with milk, an egg sandwich on whole wheat bread, etc. I
explained to her that whole grain starches will keep her full longer, so there won't be a need for
constant morning

Best Self Reflection Essay
Best–Self Episodes from Data and Reflection The Reflected Best Self Exercise enables me to not
only see myself and the strengths I manifest from the points of view of those I am constantly
surrounded by, but it also serves as a conduit for me to reflect on the strengths and thoughts I hold,
for myself. Having the reflections from both sides means that I have a greater understanding of
myself and my impact on the world. This in itself will serve as a way for me to develop my
leadership skills. The strengths that my family, friends, supervisor, and teachers have identified
intertwine a lot with each other and the strengths I believe myself to hold. This is interesting because
I never thought people notice the little things about me that I have always been aware of, so this
experience makes me realize that it is the small things people take notice of and that is what

My dedication to my school work is one of the most important aspects of my persona. As my middle
school French teacher stated I was a "surly, taciturn young lady, who emphatically refused to do her
homework [...] but when [I] realized that the work was not impossible, not even difficult for
[myself..I] left with a brand new attitude". Once the light sparked in me and I realized I had to give
myself more credit and actually believe in my academic abilities, I began to put my all into my
schoolwork, thus becoming a straight 'A' student throughout middle school and high school. For
example, I stayed after school almost all of the time and ended up getting an 'A' in my accelerated
Geometry course that I was previously close to failing. I was determined to prove my excellence to
not only myself, but those that doubted me. Due to my dedication to acing this course I understood
the concepts inside and out and actually began to help my teacher tutor my classmates after school. I
was only able to achieve this through my determination for
