Glg 101 Week 1 Reflection

When it comes to vision, we see things based on the light reflected from surfaces. The reflected light waves enter the eye through the cornea at the front of the eye, it's resized at the pupil, focused by the lens, and hits the retina at the back. The light is then detected by rods and cones, photoreceptors, which alters the light into electrical signals. The optic nerve transmits those vision signals to the lateral geniculate nucleus, where visual information is transmitted to the visual cortex of the brain then converts into the objects that we see.

This concept particularly stood out to me because when we started learning how to do this, I didn’t quite understand. As I got more and more help from Yenmin, I started to see where these ideas are coming from even though I still struggle. However, a concept that made me really think is when it came down to kinematic equation. Although the idea of kinematic equation seem easy when it was being taught in class, it still took a while for me to grasp on where each and every part of the equation came from and to understand the true meaning and importance. In the end of this though, I learned that it wasn’t that hard than I thought it was. In physics, I struggle a lot. Even though the idea of drawing and describing acceleration arrows, motion maps, x, and v, and graphs based on the given scenario stood out to me, I still struggle with that. Now that I am 2 months smarter, the advice that I would have given to my past self to be successful in physics is to try harder and to not be afraid to ask for help because Physics is not an easy concept. It is hard to expect that you’ll understand physics right when you learn it. It takes time and patient. In the next unit, my plan for success is to put more effort in Physics and to not give up

 The material that makes up the earth is similar to those on Earth because they were formed by the same event or they were once part of the same body. The similarities could also be explained by the Earth and moon colliding before they were fully formed and they could have exchanged material. I would expect Mars and Venus to be similar because they all formed in the same area from the same cloud.

During the summers of 2015 and 2016, I got the chance to work in Istanbul, TR as a summer camp counselor. The program is called RC Summer and is an english immersion program for Turkish kids aged 7-14. As part of the program, the counselors are given a lot of free reign on the activities they can offer so I offered activities that ranged from building toys to making giant bubbles. My favorite activity that I offered was "Recycled Town." In 2015 the theme of the summer was "Move, Act, Make a Difference." Every other day, I would take my group of kids around campus and we would collect things in recycled bins and by the end of the session they had built their own town equipped with a bank, a nuclear power plant, a sewer system, a farm, and an

What I learned in the documentary called “The First Year” is the aspects of each teacher’s way they deal a classroom with students as first-timers. Especially when coming across to many challenges and the struggle they had during their first time ever as educators. Watching what lengths they will go to for the benefit of the students is admirable. The teachers who are into five separate schools in the Los Angeles area are known to be George Acosta who teaches English as a second language, Joy Kraft-Watts teaches high school history, Genevieve Debose teaches middle school language arts and social studies, Maurice Rabb teaches kindergarten, Nate Monley teaches fifth-grade bilingual education, and Andrew Glass teaches elementary special education.

I just want to start off by saying that this is a difficult stepback for me to accept, due to my determination to be the best student that I can possibly be during my academic career. Therefore, when getting the notice that I was on Financial Aid Warning, I felt heartache of disappointment in myself for allowing this to happen near my senior year of attending this university. With that being said, I plan to really take the necessary actions for you all to understand that this is not normal behavior from me and that I will seek the necessary assistance to be successful.

Week 13’s readings and conversations with my peers challenged my thinking about sexual minority students. I think what challenged me the most was how unaware I was of any sexual minority students at my school. It was not until after this discussion bored I found that there is a set of parents at my school who are Queer. I was honestly just mad at myself for not taking the time to better understand the families represented at my school. Just because I am not Queer does not mean it does not exist around me.

In today's society many religions and many people don't see eye to eye with the LGBTQ community. They see this community as something less significant than others, viewed as something unnatural, and even something different from this world we live in. This community suffers from being threatened for their lives, being scared of being their true self. In what power should people have to make these decision on what people should like; none, because people should be allowed to love whatever gender they please with. People in this community shouldn't have to a live in fear of being judged by others, tormented, or even humiliated because others don't agree with what gender they like. They are just like every human that loves, but many don't see that because of maybe the way they were raised was to only believe in same sex marriage or people just don't like the idea of a sex liking the same sex. People don't see that society is more open than it was back in the days. This community suffers from being othered and are being viewed as monstering walking on the street. There's stereotypes being made about people in this community, there's religions that disown family that are in this community, and people don't see these types of event could lead to self harm, addiction, and could mess a person mind, just because they don't agree with what gender they please with.

To begin this reflection essay I just want to say that this year has been ups and downs like a relationship. I start off on a good path then I go in reverse like driving a car. I’m not trying to be lyrical I’m trying to be rhetorical if you know what I mean. In the beginning of the year I’ve struggled with academic vocabulary, sentence fragments and much more that I can’t possibly remember. In fact, I got through it like a maze so lost In the beginning but at the end feeling accomplished. Capitalizing my I’s was one of the struggles I always had. Now It Isn’t a big deal for me.

I feel that this semester of WRIT 300 has taught me a lot the writing process and the different learning outcomes for the WRIT 300 course. This semester I thought was going to be very difficult because of this class, since I feel that writing is my weak point. I feel like I would have rate myself for the beginning of the course on how well I feel about writing on a scale of one to ten. I would give myself in the beginning of the semester a five. Therefore, I will be describing how I have done on each learning out come and how I have improved from the beginning to the end.

Having taken a combination of English and writing all through my high school career I have come to know myself as a writer, I was able to learn a vast majority of my capabilities and weaknesses. After thoroughly reading the description of all of the writing courses offered at Salem State University I have came to the decision that the writing course that best meets my needs is ENL 110.

It was a nice warm day me and my brothers were walking in the woods to collect some wood for a fire but then I hear a laugh it sounded like a witch I stated ‘what was that’ my brothers thought I was crazy and they laughed at me then I said to david (my stupid annoying brother) ‘ why can't you believe anything I say then my other older brother Richie said ‘quit fighting like a bunch of babies and grow up because i heard a witch to or at least i think i did’ after that we ran out of the woods and a witch appeared out of nowhere and turned one of my brothers into a sloth and a tiger and the tiger was a bengal tiger and the sloth was a two toed sloth, which i ran away from the tiger ( not the sloth there to slow ) but after that i ran as fast

    While most freshman choose to live in a dorm room their first year of college, there can be some negative and positive outcomes when living with someone else. It can be hard to cope with the other person or it can be easy to cope with the other person you are sharing a room with. Sometimes on the other hand, it can easily become dramatically annoying, difficult, and disruptive to others in the room, like I think it did to me. Although I do believe living in a dorm can be much of a transformation from living in a house, every college student, like I did last year, has to experience the part of living in a dorm. Or experience being in a dorm room at one point during their college experience, if he/she chooses to go the college route.

To begin explaining the effects of a force, an understanding of the forces has to be made first. Let’s imagine that we have a very large and heavy box to move, and we have to ram it with a forklift. When that forklift starts pushing onto the box, it is applying force to it. A force is an interaction on an object that changes its motion. Such motions do involve actions like pushing and pulling. Forces can cause objects with mass to accelerate (increase in speed), and hence change its velocity (the rate of change of an object’s position). Forces are measured in vector quantities (magnitude and direction) using the unit known as the Newton (1 N = 1 kg⋅m/s2).

In 2010, the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy was repealed for the U.S. military, which was a widely celebrated victory in the LGBT community. Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (or DADT for short) stated that homosexual soldiers were not to disclose their sexuality while serving the military. However, this repeal never applied to transgender people. Article 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice deals with issue regarding equality in the military, but there is not a current federal statute the ensures protection of those who are transgender.
