Course Reflection Paper

For me, one of the most important things I believe in is helping others. I have always wanted to do the right thing and help those in need. Almost never did it cross my mind that I also have to take care of myself. Throughout the course, we talked a lot about self-care and why it is so important. At the beginning of the course, I didn’t know what I was going to do for my own self-care. With some of the ideas that my classmates shared in class, I learned some of the things that I can do or try. I realized that self-care wasn’t as complicated as I thought it was. Some of the things that I will do for my self-care plan is: having a day to myself, traveling, going out with friends, and reading. It’s the little things that help us de-stress ourselves.

People have always told me that I am really good at talking to people. At first, I was confused at what they meant. Throughout this course, I got to learn more about myself and what people meant when they said that I am a good listener. With my own group of friends, I am the one they come to if they are having issues. I have learned that there is nothing really special in the way you listen to others.

One of the things that we talked about during class was to make sure that we take care of ourselves. When we have something bothering us, we can consult with our clients. When we know that there is a certain situation with our clients that we can’t handle, to make sure to refer them to someone that can help them better than us. It is set clear to us that we can’t try to take on a problem that we have no educational background on

    My overall experience in Intro to Human Services was phenomenal. This class was definitely one of my favorite classes this semester. I loved the way it was taught and I was able to understand how human services works while reading the book Precious throughout the semester. This course isn’t an easy class that you can just relax and breeze through. It has a lot of fundamental chapters that explain the jobs of helpers also known as human service workers.

It never felt like we were rushing through the material and the pace of the class was perfect. I also loved how professor Oropall always was willing to explain

    “Ethics is a systematic study of principles of right and wrong conduct” (Taylor, Lillis, Lynn, & LeMone, 2015, p. 96). The American Nurses Association Code of Ethics has nine provisions to it. All nine are important to the nursing field in their own way. There are two provisions that I find most important in helping my career as a nurse. Provision one, The nurse, in all professional relationships, practices with compassion and respect of the inherent dignity, worth, and uniqueness of every individual, unrestricted by considerations of social or economic status, personal, attributes, or the nature of health problems. Secondly provision two, the nurse’s primary commitment is to the patient whether an individual, family, group, or community.

We should be attentive to what people say, clarify what the speaker is trying to come across, and respond in a way the speaker can understand what we are saying. I think I was aware that I needed some improvement in certain areas of this process but I feel as everything is slowly changing. In the future, I’m going try not to interrupt people, get distracted, tune out, and try to get a bigger picture of what the person is telling me. If good listening habits are applied in our day-to-day life, we can easily communicate with anyone and everyone.
