Reflective essay on student in transition

In my session as a student, writing essays and term papers was my difficult part of my course study. Given a topic or a case study to review and discus in depth was quit tricky. I believe it because I never had a nice experience before during high school. I believe if only I could accept and learnt at my own pace I could emerge the best. This is because I felt demoralized when my friends had higher grades than me. Not wanting to accept the reality and keeping it to myself really affected my performance. Knowing now what I could have known before would have made a great change.

As a psychology major, I have learnt to value the understanding and knowledge of the techniques and contents of this topic at very advance levels, which are recognized internationally. I now have the ability to evaluate, analyze and synthesize information obtained from several sources in a timed and planned manner. I have developed interpersonal understanding, communication and team work skills. In addition, I have gained ability to use contemporary technologies which are very helpful in our day to day lives. This course has enabled me gain enthusiasm in learning and maintenance of intellectual eagerness throughout my life. Trident university together with my lecturers have enabled me gain a commitment to the highest levels of professional endevour together with the ability to take leadership roles in several communities

The topics that really were quite difficult to me, I found a way to comprehend them. I formed a study group consisting of four members where we met and discussed in details. I later appreciated the little time we met as you know two heads are better than one. I opened up to my group members and encourage each other to work extremely hard in achieving our goals and objective.

  It’s hard to identify gaps in my skills and knowledge as a psychology major and this is because I have learnt a lot. I really feel that I have expanded largely my writing and literary skills but I need to prepare for my future career. I have achieved the course results since I am able to reflect, be grateful for it and apply its competencies that underlie the practice of psychology.

The knowledge learnt is by far very important in my future endeavors. This course has given me the skill to adapt and utilize my knowledge in my future career. The transition course will guide me in my career applications, the challenges and how to overcome in the future. This course will enable me gain and awareness of the social, ethical and cultural issues in an international context and their importance in my professional skills and duties
