Reflective Essay

 

God Reflection

            God is the source of every good thing on earth and beyond. God has been my help and guide in my study and this far is by His power.  His love and forgiveness are never ending as he will always be.  Appreciation comes from Him who honors everything and shows the same amount of love to everything.  From him, gratitude and compassion can be attained by every human based on His everlasting love. God has enabled me work hard since He has given me good health. I have not been admitted in hospital since I started my education. A friend of mine was admitted in hospital and has not left the hospital but we are still praying that God gives him the healing power. I thank God since he has provided financial support to my parents since I have never lacked anything and my school life has been successful. I pray to God every day that He may continue supporting not only my family but all people globally so that people can enjoy living in peace. My parents have encouraged me to keep praying because God rewards a praying heart. They have taught me on how to forgive people who do wrong things to me because God asks us to forgive one another. I know that God has good plans for me and this motivates me to keep working hard so that I can have a successful life in future just like my parents.

Others Reflection

During my St. Mary’s tenure, my appreciation has changed. This is that I have learned that it is my duty to respect others dignity in whom the image of the creator is reflected. This means in significance that an individual can never be inclined of at wish. In addition, my interaction with others has changed as I have learned to accept individual’s beliefs as well as culture.  Nobody is superior to the other since every man is mutually noble in regard to natural dignity.   Every individual has got their rights despite the fact that they hold distinct beliefs or culture they are all human who requires respect. Those that hold greater power which may either be economical, technical or political are not supposed to utilize that authority in violating the rights of others who are characterized with less fortune. I, therefore, learned to accept everybody’s view in regard to the position I hold in the particular ground because peace is grounded on respecting the rights of others. I have learnt that respect is the key theme that ensures people live in peace, unity and harmony. Learning this has enabled me respect people regardless of their age, social class and gender since all people are created in the image of God. Respect is earned thus if I respect others they will too respect me. I have learnt that respecting my superiors will ensure I get more blessings from God since we are taught that respect adds more blessings. All people are equal thus nobody should mistreat others or think they are better since we were all created in the likeness of God and God loves all people regardless of their physical composition.

Nature’s Reflection

My appreciation of nature has transformed since my St. Mary’s tenure.  I have learned to accept the fact that it is my responsibility to take care of Mother Nature.  Engineers are responsible for ensuring that they uphold safety, welfare, and health of the public through sustainable developments. Nature is very important since without the environment we cannot exist. We exist since the environment exists and thus it is my responsibility to take care of the environment and encourage other people to protect the environment. It is my task to ensure that available resources are well utilized so that they can be used by future generations and this promotes sustainability. It is my duty to educate people who do not have knowledge on the importance of environment since some people do not know and understand the value of the environment. It is my duty to ensure that the environment is well managed and that all wastes are collected and properly managed rather than allowing wastes to pollute the environment. I should protest against environmental pollution since I have acquired knowledge on the value of the environment. I should create awareness to all people urging them to protect Mother Nature because they will benefit from the environment. If the environment remains polluted, the people will suffer from diseases that will cut short their lives. Therefore protecting the environment should be a daily routine. I should ensure that different habitats for wildlife are not destroyed as a result of urbanization since we need wildlife in our countries. Vegetation cover ensures that the country remains green and beautiful thus I should encourage people to plant more vegetation.

Self-reflection

As an engineer, my perception has transformed through developing numerous virtues such as compassion, confidence, contentment, consideration, caring, dignity and gratitude.  I have learned to appreciate others as well as nature in any given condition. Self is related to others god and nature in that humanity is described as God’s relation as his general likeness. Being in the image of God is relevant to others which are also a relation with nature.  I can make a difference by developing a good relation with nature, other people and even myself. I have learnt a lot in life and have added some values I did not have in life such as patience and confidence. I am now able to face different people and advocate for certain issues to be addressed such as protecting the environment. As an engineer I have interacted with other engineers and have gained more skills in my field. In addition, I have also interacted with other people who are not engineers such as environmentalist who have taught me that the environment is crucial. Urbanization should be carried out but in a sustainable manner since the environment is of equal importance. I have leant many things I did not know and through Gods help I am able to understand all things since I have good health. Being an engineer has been the best thing in my life since I have come to understand people, nature and interacted with nature and people as well. I am grateful to nature for teaching me various things I did not know and things I thought were not important. I have learnt to appreciate people, nature and all things that exist since they are all important. I have developed skills in life such as compassion that enabled me relate well with all people.
