Writing a Reflection                                                             Name: Noura Al Dhaheri
Select

My event is a problem with 1 student on year 3 and she is from our college
I select it because I’m still angry of her and I didn’t find any reason for her to give her the right to do that.

Describe

Her name is Nouf she is in year 3, She said something not true about me and my friends by this I mean, she lie at the principle of Al Twayya KG, that was on the first week of our teaching practice.


Analyze
I really don’t know why she did that, she don’t know us and we don’t know her, I didn’t even meet her in the college first time I saw her in the school.

Appraise
I think she likes a problem that’s why she did that.

Transform
Change/improve: I will be more carefully about other students and aware for everything.
