Personal Reflection

1) Based on my understanding of my spiritual pathway, what are one or two activities I need to engage in regularly to stay connected with God? How will I incorporate these activities into the rhythm of my life?

It states here that I can build on my strengths by praying in the community, which is something I do do regularly, but not with the sincerity most Christians put into their worships. First off, I'm not Christian, so I don't ever think about connecting with God, but if I were Christian, I would get involved with worship activities and ceremonies held in our school.

2) In what ways can I stretch myself to experience God in new ways?

Helping out in the community, following his rules, meeting his expectations are strategies I believe that can help myself have an experience with God. Simply attending church on Sunday mornings is not enough to actually encounter the Lord. I believe it takes so much more than that because it's obvious for Christians to go to church, but doing things that actually connect with God can bring him in front of you and in your presence.

Reflections #7

Today, we explored careers on an online website: Naviance. The jobs were described in great detail, from employment to earnings. I was surprised of the salary of a nurse. I always thought that nurses weren't paid very well, but they actually earn a very healthy wage. On the other the hand, I always had this belief that lawyers earned millions a year, but their pay is actually a lot lower than I expected. I looked up music director--which is one of the careers I'm currently interested in-- and the pay is pretty good, as well as the learning environment and style.

Reflections #6

Today, we went in depth went learning style. We studied the three main types of styles: auditory, visual and kinethetic. According to the quiz, I am more of a visual learner. I like to learn by visual things--such as powerpoints and presentations. I prefer to take notes--lots of them-- and stay organized. It states that I can easily visualize objects, which is ironic because I suck at visualizing 3-D objects in geometry.
