I had been jaded and saw that as nothing more than an overused, deceptive, superficial phrase friends or family members would use to pacify those of us struggling to find our place in the world. Even though I had achieved many things I always saw myself as less than average. I had an academic scholarship but I wasn’t valedictorian.

When living your daily life and in the global world, it is vital to balance your own personal morality with other’s ideals and an understanding of the variables in the world that influence the greater interaction. While it is easy to say that critical thinking is something that everyone should use when they approach new situations and information, it is not an easy skill for many people to practice.

These integrated lab activities provide a learning environment where students do self-exploration and share ideas and viewpoints with peers in small groups. Students receive feedback through debriefing about their practice and the experience offers multiple opportunities for corrective practice and critical reflection (Elfrink, et al., 2010).
