In majoring in Writing Arts and Elementary Education, I am very aware of what being reflective means. The past three and a half years I have focused on reflecting on my past work to improve it or acknowledge what I have done well. In one course, Evaluating Writing, I have learned how to reflect upon readings by making connections to past readings or events. 

As far as being reflexive, I believe it is about creating a positive change that ultimately affects more than just me, but the actual world. What the world means to you and how you feel you can change it, and then, actually creating change.
Take a look at this video:

One person can make a huge difference by affecting three people, and then each one of those people are then encouraged to affect three people, and so forth...and change is made.

What does the world mean to you? What impact does Food Inc create for you? Why aren't we global thinkers? What does the world expect of us, of you? How do we not be stuck? How do we make a difference? These are the questions we ask when we reflect. Being reflexive, is making the change. By flipping the things you don't like in the world and creating a positive change. You can do it! You can surprise us!
