Identifying self in the context of workplace



by Barbara Charles - Monday, 27 January 2014, 11:30 PM

Having completed previous Reflective Practice courses I have realized that as a student I must keep abreast with every assignment given and to be constantly in contact with all materials provided. I believe that I am ready to move along with this course once more and to face all challenges I may encounter as the course progresses.                                            Reflective statement

This artifact above shows that I first logged on to the course on Wednesday 28th, August 2013 at 7:00 pm. I sighed and muttered, ‘Not this course again’. Nevertheless despite this thought, I had to get myself prepared in all aspects. As noted earlier in this evidence I realized as a student I must keep abreast with everything that was happening in the course, especially with the provided course materials and the assignments. I had to believe that I was ready to move along with this course and to face all challenges I may encounter as the course progresses. Well, things got on the way and other colleagues were asserting themselves into groups. I follow suit and try to join a group but was bluntly turned down and no other group seems to want any more member. I became disheartened and isolated. Then, Ms. Salandy, the E-tutor, came to my recue and informed me that I should be bold and take the initiative, looked at the team with the least members and send my particulars. I thought about that and sent out a call to form a group instead. Wow! There were other colleagues who were in the same position that I was in. They too were desperate and needed to join a group. They heeded the call and group E was formed with five members. This shows that sometimes it just take an encouraging word to pull yourself up and move along.
