When I first began at Bryant and Stratton I remember feeling very overwhelmed and would try to complete all of my assignments and lessons at once. I do not feel this is idea for learning or efficiency. Now, as I complete portfolio projects and other assignments, I go about it very semantically. I first develop a plan and goals to complete each day or week depending on the size of the project. I then take the time to learn and research the topics being covered. Taking the time to really complete the project well and truly learn from the research is the key to developing critical thinking and completing the work as best as you can.
5. Communication Skills
Demonstrate your proficiency in oral and written communication from various projects within your degree program, and how will those communication skills be of value in the workplace?
Working online I have developed excellent oral and written communication skills. Because I am not working face to face with others it has forced me to write more clearly and concisely. I have to communicate through writing and make sure I am understood the first time as email and online discussions are not as fast as real-time communication and not being clear or understood the first time could cause an necessary delay.

I come in with basic knowledge and the BSN nurses that I work with not only have experience but most if not all have that edge on me to deal with the family, look at the big picture and have the leadership skills necessary to conduct a fully functional unit and a calmness about them that tells you they can handle every kind of situation. A situation I can think clearly of is when I had a change in condition in one of my patients and coded, I could deal with the basics that I was taught in nursing school like CPR, calling for help, calling for Code Blue, IV access but I was incapable of dealing with the family who was at the time hysterical about their loved one impeding the process of resuscitation. The BSN nurse that responded to the code and was assisting in dealing with the family and calming them down and getting them out of the room and speaking with them in a rational manner. The other BSN nurse that responded to the code was able to orchestrate a successful Code Blue by delegating the other team members to take certain roles, 2-3 people doing CPR, 1-2 running errands, 1 recorder, 1 administering medications, 1 staying with the family, Respiratory therapy focusing on airway, and the bedside nurse explaining history and situation to the MD. The BSN nurse was able to pull all facets of the healthcare team into one

The primary goal for proceeding with my education consists of two things. For one, I want to promote higher education to my younger relatives. My family is from Haiti, where the literacy level is about forty-five percent. This statistic draws a negative image to the people of Haiti and gives them false hope. I believe that my attendance will encourage my younger relatives to resume their educational pursuits. Along with promoting education, I would like to be successful. I surmise that receiving a post-secondary education increases my chances of being successful. My classes provide lessons beyond the subject of each class. I’m taught valuable skills, and I am not talking about steps to solve a Calculus problem. I reap advice on making a decent

President Obama once said, “Every single one of you has something that you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide.” For about two decades, people have been quarreling about whether post-secondary education is necessary. Opposers against college argue that one can still have a good job without a college degree. However, post-secondary education is essential because there is a lesser chance of being unemployed, the greater chance of a better salary, and it can help inspire someone to change the world.
As far as I can remember, I have always been driven by my passion to obtain higher education, in order to learn and explore new and exciting opportunities. My education has allowed me to seek new opportunities, explore different fields of study, and discover my potential. I graduated high school with a 94% average and performed extremely well in my first two years at University of Windsor. However, during the last semester of my third year, I was facing some personal challenges, during the weeks leading up to the finals examination. Additionally, during those weeks, I was extremely sick and was not able attend every class, which significantly effected my ability to study and consequently my grades. I did not perform as well as I would had hoped
In 1991, my family and I snuck across the U.S./Mexico border at night, I was nine years old. Weeks later, I was placed into the k-12 educational pipeline and expected to succeed. By 2000, I had achieved a high school diploma from Escondido High School, held a solid grasp of English, and had acculturated to Californian society. Nevertheless, I had no ambition to pursue a college education. In my mind, only “smart” people with both the “right” legal status and socioeconomic standing attended college.

In an effort to accomplish my primary career goal of becoming a medical laboratory technician, I will need to ensure I communicate clearly both in writing and verbally. All aspects of life require communicating and interacting with other people either verbally, nonverbally, or in writing; however, in a professional work setting it is most important. Regardless the field of expertise, poor communication could be imperative to one’s career. For example, in a business setting, lack of communication could result in merchandises not being ordered; in a medical setting, a patient could die. No matter where one goes in life, the ability to successfully communicate with others is tremendously important.
For the past few weeks, I have been watching video lectures from MIT’s introductory science courses. The information presented in these lectures is new and interesting. The format of these courses, however, is not. In every case, a professor stands at the front of a room full of students and spends an hour spewing information. Aside from the occasional question from a student, it is entirely one-sided; the class must simply passively absorb the content.
Higher education is optional, but to enter a respectable career, one must continue their education in order to achieve his financial and/or personal goals. Teenagers who attend college use their extended schooling to further obtain knowledge. The primary objective of higher education is to enhance one’s abilities for his future. A student can learn from school in numerous ways, but liberal education is not a way to attract students into further and higher education. However, students can learn a lot more through experiences that have affected their personal lives. I agree with author Mike Rose’s theory that education needs are reached to obtain a higher academic level by teaching students information that can be related to their personal
