Integrative Reflection Paper

Integrative Reflection Paper I think that all modules, including the discussion on interpersonal skills, career development, emotional maturity, leadership skills, and service and commitement provided by the course (PERSEF1) are meaningful, but there is one module that I think has influenced a solidification in my personal development and effectiveness which is career development. In this module, I realized many things in planning for a persons passkey life.One of them is that the major effect of work is not to provide the money for attaining and maintaining a standard of living, as long as the person copes what he/she is doing, the work cargo should not be a burden but a challenge waiting to be overcome. An other statement that I reflected on is If you plan correctly, you should be able to find the one handicraft that is right for you. I definitely think that this statement is true but I have never foreseen the damaging possibilities that a persons career path may shift even after graduating from college.I thought that if a person has set goals and plans ahead, he impart most probably have the right job for him. However, I didnt think of the cases when a person actually plans correctly, but ends up with a job not of his preference. For example, a person who takes up Finance course but ends up teaching preschool students. This module made me reflect on my decisions as a college student like Do I see myself as an accountant in ten years time? Do I really love this program that Im currently taking?This module has helped me opened my eyes and become more serious in my studies because I believe that my schoolman performance in college will reflect my future job after graduation, through which I am equipped with the skills needed for my profession. I became more reassured in sharing my thoughts, feelings, and actions in relation to the various topics taken up in class. For example, through the first exercises of the Grandest Version of myself, I was confi dent in sharing my strengths and weaknesses, goals, hobbies, fears to my friends and group mates.Through this, I was able to acquire knowledge of their personal thoughts and actions and I am able to reflect on mine. Throughout the PERSEF1 course, I sometimes moot to take a quick look at the holistic development wheel, which contains the spiritual, intellectual, social, physical, career, and psychological development. I reflect on these developments of whether I am growing to be better in these aspects holistically. I think that my engagement in class, if ranked 1-10, 0 being the highest, I evaluate it to be 8 because I powerfully agree to be engaged in the activities offered in class and I actively participated in group discussions and sharing times. From the start of the course, I think that I became more serious in studying for the exams and slightened my leisure time doing useless things. In terms of handling situations involving other people, I gained confidence of doing these on my own and not with the help of other people. I gained trust in my newly-found friends who always willingly support me in my academic life in a span of 2 terms already.In my interpersonal relationship in relating to the larger community, I applied this skill with my NSTPCW1 course where I came to meet people less fortunate than I. I was able to reflect on all these skills that have really changed me for the better over the past months in terms of managing myself, handling situations involving other people, and relating to the society as a whole. PERSEF1 actually influenced my college life rightment only to a partial extent, because through the first term, I was already able to adjust with my block mates.
