Reflection On Capstone Portfolio
Capstone Portfolio Part Two
Throughout the courses I have taken in Public Administration, I have learned how to listen, how to manage, how to react to specific situations, amongst other important information and values. Each and every part of what I have gone through has been important and essential in my development as a leader. Nothing was in vain, and every course contributed to a different area in my knowledge and growth as a human being. Below, I will discuss how this course has enhanced my learning, how my strengths and weaknesses have changed, and how this course has impacted my future goals.

Though, I have learned how to control this and use it to my advantage. I remember in 10th grade I had an instructor that wrote me a thank you card with the following quote: “your quiet nature serves you well, use it wisely to succeed”. I never understood this phrase until now. In fact, I taught that my “quiet nature” was something bad I had. When I began public administration I saw how fluent others were and how they were able to express their taught so naturally and I wished I was like them. Now that we have had the opportunity to listen to several guest speakers and now that I have read many books I have learned something; my shyness will definitely help me listen to others. I will also make sure I never stop being responsible and respectful. If it is something that I expect from others, I need to be able to do the same. Yet, I am far from how I want to be. I can definitely show improvement on this area and I will.
What I learned from my instructor and from our guest speakers I will take with me and use in my upcoming career and goals. I have learned more about how leaders actually interact and how complex public administration really is. Though I feel like I will not be able to learn the full complexity of public administration until I am actually working. Yet, I definitely feel prepared to move forward. I know what to expect and what not to

    I found it very refreshing to use time I normally spend studying abstract theories and concepts, by actually spending time with people. As a psychology major, I found the autonomy especially important in being able to teach what I felt was important without following strict guidelines. I learned that I really enjoy teaching and engaging in conversations with various people. I had no idea that I would enjoy research but when it comes to public health and mental health I do.…

    Within the variety of administrative activities for the Practicum A and B, I feel that I have leadership qualities that will enhance a school. I had the benefit of working along side different personalities of my administrative team. Each person has their own strengths and weaknesses.

    Ever since I was little I have been the quiet, and shy girl sitting in the corner to nervous to talk to anyone. Avoiding eye contact at all costs. Not because I am not listening to what you are saying, I am just going over and over in my head what I am going to say next. Because if I say it wrong or mess up I always feel like people are going to judging me for what I say or do.…

    Lastly, and maybe more importantly, I learned that it is imperative to go out and travel. I could tell how important this was because when Esiquio said traveling is important, everyone shook their head in agreement. Since I have been out of the country before, I understand where they are for coming. You understand more about the country to travel to as well as yourself. You realize things you thought were once extremely important don't matter, or maybe the things that once did not matter most now. The world is a crazy placed filled with different adventures wherever you…
