State HOSA Reflection

With my senior year just beginning I am now the head of the Zumba club, which means my partner and I are now in charge of organizing dances and instructing the class and organizing our dance for Multicultural Week. I am planning to perform in the Spirit Week Night Rally this year, with some of my closest friends. I will still be apart of the Black Student Union (BSU) production next year in the month of February. Since. I attend church on a regular bases at Bethel Missionary Bethel Church, and I am a member of both the choir and the usher broad. I sing in the choir every fourth and if there is a fifth Sunday of every month and I usher every first and third Sunday of every month. I’m still a member of YAM, which meets on every Friday, except

People would describe me as an uninhibited, unrestrained lunatic who had no values and didn’t care about school. My GPA was below a mere 3.0 and to top it off, my behavior had granted me countless referrals. As school was only a month away, a quiet shrewd friend of mine showed up at my door with flyers persuading me to join the “Clackamas High School Key Club.” I stared at her with a quizzical expression on my face and examined her from head to toe, she wore glasses and carried a stack of flyers in her hand. I could tell by her charismatic nature and the way she spoke that she was an ingenious girl with a strong integrity. I interrupted her and I softly said “Yes, I would love to join Key Club.” She paused, stared at me in the eyes and gave me a handful of papers for registration and a list of the upcoming events. From then on, I was considered a Key Clubber and I strongly believed that I had the potential to become a better person. My goal was to gain leadership skills and build myself as I do community service to build my home, school, and community at the same

Great literature has iconic characters, memorable stories, and lasting lessons; it is well-written, compelling, thought provoking ... and generally depressing. Literature uses two basic models of plot development: “comedy” and “tragedy.” Statistically speaking, stories of each type should exist in equal quantities. In “great” literature, however, tragedy predominates. Thus, the landscape of literary greatness appears as a field a desolation—sadness upon sadness, fear upon fear, death upon death. Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter is certainly no exception. The Scarlet Letter tells the tragic story of Hester Prynne, a women found guilty as an adulteress, her alienation from society, the inner-conflict of her condition, and how these things affect

After my critical care HESI in October, I came up with a plan of action to help and improve my weak areas. I followed this plan to review the materials and prepare for the Exit HESI and NCLEX. The plan worked very well, but there were some part that did not. By using my HESI review book, Evolve adaptive quizzing, and Evolve case studies, I was able to get a better understanding with the weak areas. It also improved my ability to answered NCLEX style questions. I was able to review the materials, and answered questions, which allows feedback and allowing me to review on the areas that I still have to work on. On the other hand, I was not able to use the critical care textbook or listened to the old lecture liked I mentioned. This was very time

This past summer, our Marist Varsity team worked the basketball camp. I coached a group of six to ten year old girls. One girl was much better at basketball than the rest of the girls, and the other girls started to be mean to her and her mean to them. This then lead to the girls not working well together on the court. I decided to leave my coaches out of it, and handle it on my own. After one of my team's games, I pulled all of the girls aside to talk to them. I told them that they need to be nice to each other because it affects their game play too. I told them that everyone was there to get better at basketball and that each of them are at a different point in their skill levels. I went on to say that I was not going to involve any adults

The demographics of the DBSA group are a dynamic one in which comprises of people from all works of life, race, age and sex. The support group was made up 19 members in attendance on this night. Eight of the nineteen members were male and the reminder is female. The group is comprised of mostly Caucasians, 2 African Americans and an Asian lady. This is excluding the support group team leaders that are three in attendances and myself. I was in attendance about twenty minutes before the meeting commenced for an introduction with the team leader. He gave a brief introduction of the support group and ascertains my role in the meeting; which is to listen, no name or any identifying information was allowed and he will be introducing me to the members of the group. The meeting began at about

I believe that I embody the National Honor Society pillars of character and leadership both inside and outside of school. I exhibit strong character in the way that I treat my friends, classmates, and acquaintances with respect and kindness. I try to be inclusive and welcoming to others, especially if they are in a situation that is uncomfortable for them. As someone who has attended my school for 11 years, I feel a responsibility to include students who are new to the school. I have a few friends who transferred schools in middle and high school. During their transitions, I have tried to include them in my friend group, invite them to school activities, and generally make them feel comfortable at their new school. In this way, I demonstrate

The AA meeting I attended was an open speaker (OS), which meant that the majority of the time was spent listening to a particular member give a testimony of their journey with alcohol. As I sat, I had no idea what I was going to expect which made me nervous. There was a woman introducing herself in front of everyone who I learned was the meeting chairperson for that day. As the meeting began, the chair asked if anyone was attending AA for the first time. A few raised their hands; I was not one of them. I was too intimidated to introduce myself and speak. The chairperson then read the AA Preamble and led a group prayer which the majority of the people recited. At this point, I felt like an outcast since I did not know the words to the prayer.

At the beginning of twelfth grade, I met a group of people through a mutual friend. I did not enjoy being around such a large group at first, and I

As I found a seat to sit in I had other conversations with people in the meeting, one being about how nursing students often attend the meetings and the man I was talking to telling me how often addicts who receive help are very grateful for the help and appreciate the work people are doing for them. I was extremely and pleasantly surprised by how nice and welcoming everybody at the meeting I talked to was. They all tried to make me feel comfortable and welcome and multiple times I was offered the coffee and cake they had set out for the meeting. Speaking of cake, the meeting had celebratory cake due to a man's 35 years of sobriety. I had been informed of this celebration by the discussion leader and again by the women I talked to right after. I thought that this was a great coincidence and that I had been very lucky to choose that meeting and that day to attend. Since it was a 35 year celebration the meeting was slightly different that a regular meeting would have been, with the man giving a speech and everybody in the meeting celebrating

One might find themselves reading for pleasure to learn about an interesting time or place, or just to pass time. Now how will the style of the writer make a store interesting to a reader? We will look at two author style of writing from an early time. Ernest Hemingway style of writing is said to show masculine and Katherine Mansfield style of writing shows feminine. Let examine by looking at a short store from each author.

As ridiculous as it may sound as a white male my services are rather well dull and boring so the service I attended was an African American service. Needless to say they are rather vibrant and exuberant. I have a rather long beard but dressed for the occasion with a suit and slicked my hair back to look as professional as possible. Upon walking in I was of course asked why I was there I simply told them that I was wanting to try a different church and I had come across their church. I was informed to sit anywhere I like so I just sat towards the back in the corner as to not draw to much attention to myself and simply take in all the things that they do.

Sitting in on a trial, truly opened my eyes to the reality of the world we live in. In other words, crime happens everyday, all around us. Truthfully, I felt bad for the defendant, for he was not expecting 35 college students to sit on his trial, though it is open to the public. After reading Crook County, I found multiple similarities and differences between the book and the trial I went to. For example, Crook County, states the division between the minority and white individuals. There is glass dividing them, which creates the race division. However, in Williamsport, there is no distinct division of race, for the trial was open to the public and there is no assigned seating.

Before I started to attend South Carolina Connections Academy, I was enrolled at Dutch Fork High School. I enjoyed going to school so that I could talk to some of my friends and go to the classes that I liked. Even though my grades at Dutch Fork High School were good, they could have been better if I was not so focused on the social aspect of high school. Enrolling at South Carolina Connections Academy, or SCCA, allowed me to work on school in an environment where I could not get distracted. All my attention was on my school work. This allowed me to earn better grades than I had been earning before. SCCA also taught me how to identify my weakness in courses and how to best strengthen them. I learned to appreciate the time I had in ‘class’

Fingerprints are an important part of criminal investigations. They are used to help identify a person because each person has a unique type of print. We use fingerprints because, unlike any of the other identifying marks on the body, they very rarely change. Over the years the way we identify people has changed over the years.
