Blog 23: Final Lesson Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?

I am most proud of my spirit and the fact that I went up and did my best. I am also proud that I shared a bit of myself in my presentation because now I feel as though a few of my burdens have been lifted upon me. I don’t really share a lot about my past but now that I can, I’m comfortable.

(2) Questions to Consider

a. What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation (self-assessment)?

AE    P       AP    CR    NC

I would give myself a “P” mostly because I tried my best to do a good presentation and to not try making people fall asleep. All the effort I’ve put in to make this presentation go on and be aesthetically pleasing took a lot of my time. And my sleep. I’m glad it’s over now, somewhat. But I’ve still got lots to do! X0

b. What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?

AE    P       AP    CR    NC

AP. I wish for a P if I turn in everything. I feel as though I’ve focused on the wrong thing. Now that I know what I need to go do the right thing to complete my project. I can finally finish it.

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?

My mentor, she’s the one who made my project function for me so that I could finish and accomplish my work that I needed to do. Also, she’s the one who brought me up when I broke down on my senior project.

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?

I would not focus too much of my time on being “perfect” with ALL my compenents.

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.

It has helped me re-create a better mindset for myself. I’ve always thought the worst/bad in myself because it was hard to do anything right or finished. I was so upset at who I was that I didn't know who I was. I refused to acknowledge my accomplishments as well as myself. To this day, I still don’t know who I am actually, but, I feel as though, I can become what I aspire to be just so long as I can pick myself up. That’s what I’ve learned here.

Blog 16: Answer 2

1.  What is your EQ?

• What type of therapy is most successful in finding coping mechanisms for personally-conflicted clients?

2.  What is your first answer? (In complete thesis statement format)

• Group Therapy is an effective way to find coping mechanisms because it focuses on finding a balance within yourself to interact with other individuals

3.  What is your second answer? (In complete thesis statement format)

• CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is an effective way to find coping mechanisms because it focuses on how you feel about yourself and find a more in-depth resolution on why you feel a certain way.

4.  List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.

• CBT is more effective because you can find your problems more accurately.
• CBT is mostly one-on-one, which would make a client feel a little more open to a professional.
• With the full focus of a psychologist, he/she can support a client with more detailed observances and suggest better/open suggestions.

5.  What printed source best supports your answer?

• The Key Concepts of Cognitive Psychology

6.  What other source supports your answer?

• Themes and Variations of Cognitive Psychology

7.  Tie this together with a  concluding thought.

• All, in all, people are not the same. How a client wants their environment is up to them. It depends a lot on their preferences, whether they would like one-on-one or be in a group.

On Friday, 2/20 for Advisory #2, you will be presenting what you have from this blog.  The presentation is more like a share-out and should not last longer than 2 minutes. You don't need a visual, and you should not read what you have written.
