Senior Project Reflection

1. During my two-hour presentation I was most proud of being able to teach people about chid abuse treatment in a way that it seemed that they enjoyed. I was also proud that  of the research that I was able to get a hold of.

2. (P) because I feel as though I did everything that was asked of me.
Overall, i feel like I did a (P) job because I was consistent the whole year, doing what was asked.

3. I think learning how to find really good research really worked for me. It is something that I will use for the rest of my life. Another thing that worked was research for something that might be a future career for me.

4. I think that everything was meaningful in some way. OH! But I think that people who present second are at a disadvantage because they have less time to set up.

5. I plan on being a child psychologist and child abuse is something that psychologists need to deal with. I learned a lot about different types of therapies. Some that I will. hopefully, some day use.

Ruth Finnigan: (909)985-1305

Interpretive: While doing volnteer work at Samaritan Counseling Center, I learned many things. I learned two different "most important" things. The first one being that I learned about how it feels to work in real life. I learned that you aren't always going to do things that you want to do. You're going to do things that you do not really feel like doing or you don't want to do. You are also going to work with people you wouldn't normally want to work with but you still have to do it. I also learned that my best answer for my EQ makes sense. 

Applied: While I was going to service learning, I noticed that they only used one type of therapy with children. They used play therapy, I wondered about this for a very long time. When I finally asked them, they told me that it was one of the most effective forms of treatment. It worked very well, because it is one of the ways in which children feel the most comfortable and that is one huge factor in if the therapy is successful or not. I think that being around play therapy so much made me biased for it, but it worked. Not only did personal experience with it show me that it was the most effective form to treat an abused child but so did a lot of my research. So, all in all, service learning helped me find my best answer.
