The self-examination paper is a brief autobiography and reflection paper. The purpose of this assignment is to increase your levels of self-awareness. In this 4-6-page, double-spaced, typed paper, you will write a brief autobiography including all of the following (please use subheadings in your paper):
Who are you? (10 Points)
Use at least three words or phrases to describe yourself as a person and elaborate on each of these words/phrases.
Discuss one salient aspect of your cultural identity (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, socioeconomic status, etc.) and explain why it is salient to you.
Identify at least one positive and one negative pattern of emotional interaction with/reaction to others that are typical for you (e.g., how do you typically disagree/fight or how do you get/give support and how do these feel for you?). Discuss how these patterns will affect you as a helper.
Life experiences and influences (10 Points)
Describe one significant life experience and discuss how it has affected your life and development (e.g., the way you think, feel, and live your life; your values/morals, your biases etc.).
Describe at least two important messages you have learned about life from your family or culture, and discuss how they have affected your life and your development (both the messages and how they have impacted you are necessary for full credit).
Helping (10 Points)
What is helping? Discuss what you personally think helping means.
What is a good life? Discuss three things that should be present in a good life.
What draws you to learn helping skills and/or to become a helper?
Discuss two strengths and two weaknesses that you bring to a helping situation.
Reflect on any biases, prejudices (i.e., hot buttons) that might interfere with your learning to become an effective helper. (We all bring biases, if you cannot immediately think of any, think harder.) In other words, what types of client and client issues will be the most difficult for you to work with, and why?
What type(s) of client will you be most drawn to work with, and why?
Please adhere to APA Style, grammar, punctuation, and usage as much as possible.
