PERSONAL REFLECTION

The two activities I need to engage will be creation and contemplative. I need to connect with God in nature, and I need to connect with God by doing great things. For nature, I guess I should visit more beautiful places such as the Grand Canyon. For doing great things, I should be more active in church or church events. I should go help out for the poor, and donate more. I guess the more activities I do for God, I would be able to get closer with him. As far as right now, I didn't feel that God was beside me or anything, so I believe I should try to be more active and visit more places.

Reflection #7

In the beginning of class, we looked at the "most interesting career" sheet as a group. I got 4 out of 10 right, and some of these jobs really surprised me. Then Mrs. Gunther showed us her favorite website about jobs. Overall, I really found this unit interesting. At first I thought it was boring and pointless, but as time passed, I thought this time was a great time for me to really think about my future. Soon I will graduate high school and go to college, and this unit gave me an opportunity to start thinking of what to do after high school.

Reflection #6

Today, Mrs Gunther came in and had a little speech ready for us. It was about our way of learning. I felt that I learned better sometimes by interacting with others, and sometimes by myself, depending on what type of lesson it was on. I guess I just like interacting with people, but when there are major assignments needed to be finished, I like to be alone and be serious.

Reflection #5

Today we went to a website called Naviance, and we took a personality and my learning style survey. I found these enjoyable and annoying at the same time. Enjoyable because just like I have mentioned before, I enjoy doing surveys that would predict my personality or my future. However, I found it annoying because there were sooooo many questions we had to answer. Also for the learning style survey, I was very annoyed because there were some questions where it was the opposite of what I just answered, and few that were identically the same.

Reflection #4

Today wasn't a very interesting day. Ms. Gunther weren't in the class with us, and those who didn't finish the booklet (which was the majority of people) had to finish it. I did finish it, and my results came out as to be a physician. Now this is the basic job I was aiming for, and I was kind of glad that I did get the job I wanted. Then we had some free time to work on our pink booklet or this funny survey. For the most of the time, I felt that this class wasn't a very interesting or active class, but I managed to get alot of my jobs done.

Daily Reflection #3

Today, we stopped looking at other's future example, and focused more on our future. We cut and paste out our values and pasted them in the order in which we thought valued more. I did this activity without thinking much, and didn't feel that this was an important task for me. Then we were given 2 booklets, one containing a survey questions that will tell which job fits us best, and the second book to search the result. We only had a few minutes left of class left, so we barely got to start on. I enjoy activities that predict my future, and I'm interested what the results will come out to be.
