Us 101 Reflection Paper

I have always felt that writing and reading is not my strong point and these three posts improved and made me feel just as competent as any other individual to join a discussion on these topics and feel comfortable about what I have to say. My first discussion that has my letter to Gladwell using an analogy, I was nervous to write what I thought it meant but when I began to write I felt, I got it. I compared Langan’s achievements and life to my own. We both had to struggle but either way you look at it nothing can be loss if you have certain talents. People are just gifted in ways and areas that others aren’t. My second discussion was discussion stereotypes and the truth and this I feel so hard about. I say hard because everyone is judged and put into certain categories because of either race or income and it burns inside when this happens because some individuals aren’t given a chance to show their true self because of being judged. The third discussion was my abstract for my research report and here I was so confident compared to week 1. It didn’t take much time for me to put this together because of the feedback I was given from my peer and the instructor. Feedback is a powerful thing and many people wouldn’t say that openly but it influences people minds and helps their spirit. It gives you confidence that may be their but helps it to

Last night or so the MAS unit of the 750 stopped working due to some unknown problems and my rotor exploded -- this time we just got rotor dusts ( no sample to recover) -- so the regular 3.2mm HXY is gone. And, their E-free probe was also not working after it came back from Burker -- last week, we tested that probe after Boris returned from his vacation. So, they will send these two probes for repairs and request for a new MAS unit. Mike will not charge the 750 week.

At NC State, we taught USC 104 which was for undeclared student0-athleted to address additional concerns about majors and careers. We hosted a major-round table event that brought in various professors/deans from all of the majors on campus. This event allowed students to learn about the expectations and prospects of the major. They were also assigned a final research project on a career they were interested in.

Writing is an art in which letters come together on a piece of paper and make words, words then make sentences, and eventually, these sentences make a work of art. There are many different factors that go into this work of art. One of these factors being the organization of sentences and paragraphs in a logical way to make your work comprehensible. The next being proper grammar and sentence structure the way words come together is probably the most important piece of writing as it prevents any misconceptions. Finally, the third aspect of writing that I would like to talk about is the contents of the piece or in other words the voice of the writer. The effect of a strong voice is making the reader feel like they are a part of your work, this helps to convey the message in the way it was intended. Throughout my life, I have composed many pieces of writing in which some made me proud to put my name on and some that I was not so proud. Throughout College Composition I, the writing process became more practical for me as in the past I dreaded writing as it would take an absurd amount of time to write every paper. This came with the style of the class, checkpoints along the writing process kept me on track. This led me to two finding significant findings in my writing. Firstly, my organization, sentence structure, and grammar improved tremendously when writing before class this year this was a colossal problem in my writing. Furthermore, the creativity I am now able to

Process recordings have been very helpful in allowing me to see my strengths and areas that need improvement. It allows for me to check if I am using my competencies correctly and applying all the skills I have been thought. They also allow for feedback from my field supervisor so that I ensure the best services for my clients. I gain a better understanding of what I need to change about my approach and how to develop proper treatment goals with my clients. I get to put the knowledge I gained in all my classes to help a better understanding of the role of a social worker.

Life is about learning new things and allowing for others to open our minds to the possibility of new perspectives. In life I have always found that it is important to learn something new every day, so I do try to learn something new every day. In starting this class, I knew that I would be learning so many new things. From school I had a basic understanding of how the world was but to read these stories and poems, that were written on an emotional level, I never realized how bad things really were. It has made me very grateful for what I have in my life, opening my eyes to the world we live in now. So of all the many pieces I have read so far in this class it was hard to decide what pieces to choose for this assignment, but I managed to choose. First “The Chimney Sweeper” by William Blake (pg.129). Next is “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid (pg.121). Lastly “Bartleby, The Scrivener” by Herman Melville (pg.235). These three pieces of literature really spoke to me as a person, mother and friend. And I plan to tell you how these wonderful literary works have changed my perspective on the world.

It’s an ambiguous concept. It’s got a scale range from getting a new bed to losing a loved one. Sometimes it’s asked for and other times, it’s not. Sometimes you’re a little girl waiting to get a haircut only for the final result to be disastrous and other times you’re walking out of the salon feeling like royalty. Sometimes you’re simply changing the color of your walls and other times you’re moving to a new house. Sometimes you’re meeting new people and other times you’re losing your best friends.

Relationships have been a strength in my personal and professional life and my most recent re-assignment as a technology integrator and instructional coach has tested my relationship development and maintenance of trust particularly with more challenging individuals. Extra grace is required at times. This was profound rehearsal for dealing with potentially difficult parents and I continue to seek first to understand. One of the best examples I witnessed over this internship came from the new principal at Valley View. During the fall conference day he pulled his desk into the center hallway where parents would enter the building and manned the welcome table the entire day. Many of my primary teacher colleagues mentioned how many parents noted and appreciated the welcome. I have that in my back pocket as a definitive implementation when I become principal.

I fall into venial sins more than I can care to mention. With regard to spiritual exercise, they weary me, as he puts it. Church feels like a chore, and for a while, I never went to confession. I went to confession for the first time in about 6 years while at the school and I went again when I started to really fall apart in my faith. I am not a confession regular but I try to go when I can feel sin affect me. De Sales continues a bit more with this question, asking why my heart is not inclined to these spiritual exercises. I would not say that I find any of them repugnant, rather I am not drawn to them. It just feels like I am forced to sometimes as if it is mandatory. There is no coming to Christ moments. With regard to Jesus and Mary, I think that they are amazing but am I particularly drawn to them. Not as strong as I would like to be. As I learn about my faith, I try to be more discerning about my own thoughts because they can take a turn that concerns me. I try to be diligent and conscious of how I think in order to tailor them to the good.

The Christian Manhood course taught me many things, but it specifically taught me to be open to growth and I learned about how important it is to be in a community of fellow believers. Although this was only part of the class it really stood out to me as a very important take away from the course. It is something I will take with me for the rest of my life and that I will always remember.

A time in my life where I realized what i wanted to do in the future,my freshman year I was in my FFA chapter and we had officer interviews, I was the 2015-2016 Valley View FFA Treasurer . At our first meeting as a new officer our ag advisor told us that she was taking a year off due to be able to not spend enough time with her children, she went on to tell us that there will be a new ag teacher coming in to replace her for the year. I had so many thoughts going around in my head like , what if he doesnt care and just acts like a substitute and doesn't actually teach us anything. Do any work with us to get better in our CDE’s which is a Career Development Education , they are competitions that we go to and compete against other chapters for an example Livestock Judging is a CDE or help us with our SAE’s an SAE is a at home project that we do over the four years in Ag for an example mine was show lambs and show calves, we keep records of the money we spent the hours we put in and if we went to any shows or vet appointments.Our ag teacher told us that he’d be coming in for our officer meetings in the summer then take over for our officer retreat. All of the new officers were pretty nervous about getting a new teacher.The officers were talking about how we don’t know what we are doing in our officer positions yet our goals were to make the chapter a better and bigger program.

Resolve is the determination to accomplish a task or goal. All of my life I had always had plenty of friends, I lived in the same neighborhood for the majority of my childhood, which was full of children my age. I grew up with my friends, I had known them for such a long time I could not even remember meeting them. When my family moved, due to my father’s promotion, I was excited for a change in scenery, until we got there, I realized everyone I had ever known was gone. On social media I felt excluded, I saw them enjoying themselves, while I rotted at home alone and without a single companion in the strange place had moved to, I was an alien in this new place and it was foreign to me. I was alone, an outsider, but I refused to remain this way I resolved to find people who accepted who would call me a friend.

The known is safe, the unknown is scary. Diving head first into something you don’t know is terrifying, why on earth would you do that. Sometimes doing something that scares you is needed, you never know the possibilities unless you try. In life you are presented with choices all the time, sometimes you have the choice of taking a risk or playing safe. I have personally been presented with that choice before. It was scary, I didn’t know if I was making the right or wrong choice since in a situation like that as there is no clear right or wrong. I chose to take a risk, I still don’t know if I made the right decision two years later. Before my freshman year of high school, I was presented with the choice of sticking to gymnastics which I had done forever or taking a leap of faith and trying out for cheer. I choose to tryout for cheer.

As I was trying to figure out the perfect way to sum up this semester, I stumbled upon this quote by Steve Southerland, “I believe in process. I believe in four seasons. I believe that winter's tough, but spring's coming. I believe that there's a growing season. And I think that you realize that in life, you grow. You get better.” This quote really spoke to me because this semester has not been a walk in the park. As a class we all went through some ups and downs. We were challenged in a number of ways but in the end I think we all really “grew”. For many of us we experienced a tough season of life, but I think as a class we really worked together to lift each other up and come out successfully.

As a 6th grader, everyone was excited about one thing, Junior High. Where the school was bigger and we were moving away from the younger kids. All the while, all I could ever think about was trying to fit in. I never had many friends in the first place and my appearance certainly didn't help my cause. As a 12 year old, I was overweight and referred to a doctor for weight loss, but more commonly my wii fit reminded me daily that it was time to exercise. Something extremely significant was the thick black rimmed glasses that I needed to wear to correct my astigmatism, or maybe it was my front teeth crossing one another that got the most attention. Needless to say I was never one of the popular girls and most everyone wrote me off.
