Part 2: Your Thinking

Write a 75- to 150-word explanation of your current level of critical-thinking development, and explain why you placed yourself at that stage.

On this phase in my life, I place my current level of critical-thinking development as “Unreflective”
I tend do things without thinking the actions through. My life is a little hectic, I’m currently home-schooling my four children, while I’m back in school myself. This situation and the fact that I also have a thirteen month old baby girl, sometimes is too much for me to handle, and that’s when I panic and I do things without applying critical thinking. Sometimes things work for the best but other times unnecessary things happen that could have been avoided if I would have thought things through.
