Personal Reflection and What You Have Learned From Field Experience

We had visit to an orphanage named Rumah Hope which located in Paramount Garden , Petaling Jaya on 2nd March. We entered the premises of the orphanage with a sense of exciting and strange, as more than 50 pairs of mischievous eyes peered at us, and we made our way to the kitchen. The event started with introduction among us . The activities followed with Goy singing two beautiful songs. His voice touched the chord of each one present in the room. It followed with fun games like ‘Ice and Water’ where all the kids as well as the team members had a gala time running around. We created various type of activities for the kids and we could feel the happiness from them. I was the photographer at the moment and of course , I took a lot of photos. By this time, everyone in the room was hungry to the core. The kids were provided with a sumptuous meal of KFC funded by the us. One important detail which could have been missed was the way the kids prayed before commencing their lunch was a prayer which was led by a small yet sprightly Jason. The visit to the orphanage not only showed us the ugly truth about life, it also gave us something to look within ourselves , that we were blessed in our present circumstances. The experience was harsh, like a slap on the face and yet it the bright smiles on the faces of each and every child on that day did more than just lift their spirits and look at the brighter side of what we had done for the children.

    After introducing myself to all the girls, the 12 girls dragged me to their room with so much excitement. Walking into their room, I had to stop and take a deep breath. I knew the orphanage wouldn't have much, but I never imagined how little they really had. Their room looked like it belonged to an old abandoned house. The ceiling caved in; it smelled of an old dusty attic and had nothing in it but 12 beds, 3 dressers and a couple dirty stuffed animals just lying around. Some girls had pictures of when they were babies, some didn't have anything. I stood there silent. Tears balanced on my eyelids because at that moment, I realized that I have been so ungrateful for what I have, while other young, beautiful girls around the world have nothing but a bed and a stuffed animal. I think about all my clothes, shoes, friends and family that…

    I approached the baby. she was a small, frail little thing, with eyes that could look straight into your soul. she was awake but her mother wasn’t. I picked her up and she giggled, as if she recognised me. Dismissing that ridiculous thought from my head, I did all I could for her, and within a few minutes she seemed healthier than before. Her cheeks were rosy, and she had a broad smile on her face.…

    At first, it was odd to see how something as simple as a piggyback ride could bring about such happiness, but when I observed the surroundings, I quickly understood why. It was happiness that was hard to come by considering the conditions these children were living in. Their homes were rickety, would-be shacks. The roads weren’t in any better condition either, soiled in human and animal waste. Yet these children, who had hardly any possessions of their own, whose basic needs were not met, needed only the momentary gift of a capuchi to fill their lives with indescribable joy in the midst of such dire circumstances. Consequently, in their need I began to realize how much I had in my possession. As different our worlds were, however, without love, the need for food, shelter, and financial security had…

    While many people live relatively carefree lives, many others suffer from the burden injustice and loss has left on them. The horrors many face during their youth defies the universal perception of a child’s innocence. Unfortunately, everyday society has veiled this behind a curtain for few to acknowledge. In Uwem Akpan’s Say You’re One Of Them, all five short stories emphasize the most cringeworthy sufferings of children. With perhaps the most significant and horrid death scene out of many, the story My Parents’ Bedroom ties together the meaning of this elaborately crafted novel. Indeed, it ends the novel with a note that children are often left alone in such a terrifying world, their joys, hopes, and families destroyed by injustice in an attempt to unveil these hidden truths.…

    When we finally arrived it was night-time, and I woke up the next morning in a land that was much different than what I had expected. We left the house early in the morning to go sightseeing and there was this one homeless lady, who seemed to be very old begging my father for some spare change. He gave her some of course, but seeing her grief-stricken face taught me to really be grateful and appreciate all the things you have in life. The worst part about that is that it wasn’t just that poor old lady; there were others too, even young children who looked to people with hope for a better life. I realized this while I was still sick; perhaps the sickness gave me a new perspective on life that I hadn’t noticed before, or maybe just being in a foreign country opened my…

    I really enjoyed reading all the articles for this module because it gave me a new perspective and lens of viewing marriage and family therapy. I felt that I could relate to the first article that discussed ethical perspectives inside of a classroom setting. I believe that this article illustrated the way in which students have personal and professional value conflicts, which leads to figuring out how to solve these dilemmas. Also, while reading these articles I found these new perspectives to be very interesting and they made me think of the specific and unique challenges that marriage and family therapists have to deal with. When reading these articles I realized that marriage and family therapists have more challenges and concerns to deal with and process compared to individual therapist, such as dual relationships with family and/or group clients. Another big issue that can play a big part of family therapy is disclosure of family secrets, specifically if a minor disclosures these secrets in session.…

    Self motivated, industrious, dedicated, determine and God fearing individual are attributes that reflects my own characteristics. My religious background began in the Church of God in Christ where the Old Testament was the primary teachings that shaped my life’s values and forms.

    Throughout the program, I will continue to have an opportunity to use the Reflective practice as a tool to help me to reflect on the topics discussed, and through my own learning as a student in the program. This tool will allow me to develop professionally in the area of learning that involves problem-solving techniques. According to Wikepedia (2015), “Reflective practice can be defined as the capacity to reflect on action so as to engage in a process of continuous learning” ( para.1). In other words, as a learner I will practice the reflective method in a consistent basis to enhance learning as a repetitive tool that is best for me to adapt.
