Reflection Journal Entry 1
When I first decided to join this CDS, I had a few things running in my head, thinking, what if I do not get along with my new roommates? This is the main challenge that has been boggling me for quite awhile. It was hard for me to warm up to strangers, and now I have to live with these strangers for two weeks. One of the main reasons why I do not get along with some people is because we have different personalities and this will lead to conflicts and differences, even over the simplest things, for example, we have differences over what kind of food we should eat. Or perhaps having different opinions to a matter, which will also result in another conflict and make everyone in the household unhappy.
Another challenge would be not getting used to living somewhere outside my home as an independent person as I think I am a sheltered individual, used to having my needs met by my parents and relatives. As such, I am afraid that my roommates will think of me as a “spoilt child” when in fact it is due to my inexperience. Furthermore, I am afraid that I will commit stupid mistakes like not knowing how to do the household chores properly because I have not gotten much experience doing so.
Lastly, it would be the tolerance of my untidiness. As I would not be living alone, therefore I have to consider how others would think of my untidiness. I admit that I am an untidy person and

    Our first few moments consisted of unloading the van, and meeting Stentson Carpenter. He was the CEO of Rainbow Omega. He started the organization after his son passed away from down syndrome. He was determined and inspired to create a place where people like his son could reside and be cared for. After meeting Stentson, we got to meet the residents. They came in to the vocational building. The vocational building is where we stayed. It had a kitchen, laundry machines for the residents, a main area for various activities, and two small rooms for us to stay in. They came in through the side door into the main area. I remember I was nervous and yet anxious at the same time to meet them. We have a guy in our youth group who has down syndrome and I was and still am very comfortable around him, but meeting 82 people like him, made me uneasy. Josh was the first person I met. He was a little shy but very excited for us to be there. After getting to know me a little bit, he considered us best friends. He was no longer shy or scared around…

    As nurses, we encounter ethical situations everyday regarding patient care. How we handle these situations promote equality while seeking rationality. After reading the two case studies presented, I will discuss in my reflective journal how the ethical issues were presented, the steps taken in the decision-making process to ethically address the issues, the lenses used and how these lenses influenced the decisions made, and also how these can relate to the workplace. The Baird Decision Model is a five step process that guides us through that decision-making process when making ethical decisions.…

    Most of us who live away from homes aren’t so lucky to get a good roommate always. A bad roommate can complicate your life and may even pull you up to a stage of depression. Usually, the best thing in such situations is to move out and find a better alternative, however there are situations when you cannot do so and you may end up feeling stuck. Yet, there are strategies you can use to avoid making yourself stressful due to such people and also sometimes (rarest chances) end up turning that enemy roommate into your friend.…

    Imagine freshmen year in college. It’s filled with fun an excitement. You no longer live at home; you are living in a dorm with all people your age.

Some like loud noises while they sleep; others need complete silence. Well I can imagine this situation very well because I have been living with three roommates since the beginning of the semester.…

    The good thing was that it wasn’t just me who tried to have a conversation, they asked me questions all the time and we got really close from that day. Today they are my two best friends at school. It took me a little while to become not alienated at school, but I am so glad I came to The Northwood School. Bunch of really cool friends from all around the world, and it’s going to be a continuous experience that I don't think I will get anywhere…

    Everything was new: new friends, town, and school. That was when the uncomfortable feeling began to set in, and I began to retreat to a self I did not know. While I thought the feeling were just temporary, due to the unfamiliar surroundings, the feeling lasted a whole lot longer than I imagined. I was accustomed to being surrounded by everyone who not only knew me, but also knew me as being a bubbly, aspiring people person. I guess I never realized how much changing one thing in my life could have such a…

    Throughout my life it has been hard for me to meet new people, especially the ones I know won't be there that long. My step dad had his own tattoo company, and my mom was popular at her job. So people would be in and out of our house all the time. We used to have weekend parties,and go to bbqs. As always I was the one kid who stayed by their mom, and didn’t go play with the other kids. I did play and hang out with the people that I had known for a long time. They brought others along and I didn't really get to know them, because I didn't…

    Further more, an updates investigation, which proceeded in UCLA illustrates that a roommate who is in low profile will share a better and friendly relationship with people easily, which compared to others who are intensively active failed. In my point of view, in order to get support and appreciation from roommates, u need to show respect to them, give them private space and not interrupt them frequently. As a result, a good community will come true.…
