Professional portfolio-final 2

The time has come for me to reflect back on my strengths and my weaknesses. My

strengths are awareness, and open-mindedness that motivates me to study rigorously the things in

the world and my place in it as it pertains to the content of my mind and mental health.

Psychological science offers practical wisdom. Psychology's research-rooted theories offer

principles that we can apply in the construction of memorable and persuasive messages, in

reconciliation and peacemaking, and in supporting those who are suffering from mental illness

and cognitive impairments separating from family and friends or grieving as children who have

no since of guidance . As fallible, ever-reforming people, our understandings about psychology

and communication with diverse issues, such as diverse culture, and the ethnicity of other

countries can be informed by psychological science. I have learned to accept constructive

criticism and build on my weakness and errors for I am only human designed to make mistakes

to learn perfection through trail and error.

I have elected to study life and the creation of the world from the cradle to the grave with

a zest and zeal to become a better person and humanitarian. My weaknesses is I must not stop

cannot stop until I have discovered my will and mission in this life as to how I can better serve

my fellowman. I am aware that I will be scorned, disgraced, and called a man of immoral

standards with a lack of reconciliation for others. We can all learn at the same time or we can

learn and become educated at a later time “to each its own.”

The staff at Argosy University and its affiliates as well as my fellow peers have taught

me to seek out the truth carefully dissect literature and discover the knowledge no matter what

the language. Today I am a college graduate with pride and a renewed image of self. I only wish

to give back what has been taught me to those of a lesser degree, so that I can help them reach a

higher degree through a life of higher learner and academic achievement.
