Cannon Falls Reflective Essay

When I first got accepted into Stuyvesant High School, I heard countless of rumors stating: “Oh the workload is terrible”, “The competition is so fierce” or “Out of schoolwork, extracurriculars, or sleep: you can only pick two.” I found it hard to let it faze me, since I graduated from one of the most prestigious middle schools. However, the rumors transformed into reality when I stepped into Mr. Nieves’ Freshman Composition Class. The workload at the beginning of the year was brutal, coupled with assignments from other core classes that seem unaware of the workload of other teachers. Reading assignments were a regular, and there were journal entries and occasional quizzes to keep us in line. What made it bearable was the friends I made in that class; everyone had their own opinion about the topic we were talking about, and listening to other perspectives really broadened my horizon and enriched my learning experience in Stuy. Another thing that this class has taught me is the importance of time management, a skill that I will carry on for the rest of my high school career and life. When I choose to sign up for Mr. Nieves’ AP American Literature class in my Junior Year, I was hoping to relive the discussion-based lesson plans and meet more outstanding peers. I was not disappointed, to say the least, reflecting through all the experiences at the end of the course. The lesson plans he laid out for us were an interesting mix between small lectures and class output, and what I

I’m a valley girl, a Santa Maria Valley girl to be exact! Naturally, then, I chose to fulfill my shadowing requirements at Santa Maria’s newly built Marian Regional Medical Center. I needed to see for myself what human kindness, paired with a state-of-the-art hospital, offering advanced technologies, is truly all about. On Wednesday, October 6, 2016, I had the privilege of spending eight hours exploring six different modalities conducted within Marians Radiology department. It was an opportunity that I took full advantage of; a truly invaluable experience.

I hereby write in regards to admission into Grand Canyon University. As a matter of fact, I chose this particular university based on its Christian values as well as the excellent students it has produced from the wide variety of quality courses. The university has also shown a commitment to developing their students all-round through extra-curricular activities and other areas with the fact that it was the first ever for-profit university- and the only one too- to participate in Division One athletics for NCAA. The institution offers me with the best environment and university to pursue my education and foster the attainment of my long term ambitions and dreams.

This unit does not introduce much new material. Instead, we expect you to integrate technical and theoretical knowledge acquired from study across your degree. We refer to two frameworks that may support you in carrying out this integration:

Reflecting on this course over this semester, there have been many lessons learned that will be valuable, as we enter the business world. Our first lesson was to learn to work together, as a team, to prepare a short memo, long memo, letter, and email for use in the business world. This is a lesson that will experience many times as we do our daily work. Punctuation and grammar are so important to present to the client and other organizations that we are professionals. It could mean the loss of a sale or acquiring new business. It’s like dressing for work; looking professional or unprofessional.

My desire was to challenge myself and pursue my belief in life-long learning. And yes, the last eight weeks have definitely been a challenge intellectually in IDS 101. After the first two weeks of school, I seriously questioned why I would go back to school at fifty-one years of age for personal satisfaction. The days were long and I wasn’t sure I still had the self-discipline and determination that would be needed to finish. Over the last eight weeks, this class gave me numerous opportunities to hone my skills in critical thinking, research, and writing. This class has given me the necessary skills to continue toward completing my degree.

I enjoyed working in CT and cannot wait to go back. All the techs that we were working with were very nice and willing to help. They also taught us the basics to using a CT machine. I got select the protocol for the scan that was ordered, scan the scout image and set the margins for the actual CT scan. They also showed me how to load up the injector with the appropriate amount of contrast and saline water. The contrast that they most commonly use is Omnipaque 350. My two favorite techs to work with were Melissa and Merikay. Melissa was very helpful and talked me through the steps from pulling up the patient, selecting the proper protocol and starting the scout image. I also got to log the amount of contrast that was injected and got to

It’s interesting that we would be talking about Longtown, Ohio this week because my family and I have been discussing what my parents learned at last week's Black Student Union’s Martin Luther King Unity luncheon, about Riverside’s dark history when Martin Luther King High School became a part of the Orangecrest community, and the response it got from being named after a black man.

This essay is a reflective essay on my learning development from a young age through to my current position as a University Student. I will be relating my learning development back to two theories of human development, Vygotstsky’s socio-cultural theory and Marcia’s version of Erikson’s theory of identity development.

Based on the assessments administrated to Skylar, and discussing her progress with her special education teacher, it was determined Skylar would receive one on one instruction in sight words. Her special education teacher indicated that she believed sight words were what was keeping her from rising to the next level. (She was at this time an instructional DRA 16 and an independent 14).

Experience: My first time shadowing at Northern Star was amazing. Steve started off by giving me a brief tour of the place. The facility isn’t all that large, but it was nice to get my bearings and really see what all I have to work with so I could be of use if need be. The place was basically divided into some small private patient rooms, the fitness area, some storage areas, and office space. The first patient we got to work with was a guy who was dealing with some foot pain that was traveling up his body and causing other complications. Steve was fairly certain that it was due to the arch support he had after having him do a few stretches and watching him walk. We baked him some new arch supports and sent him on his way. The next person that came in was an older gentleman looking for help with

Perhaps the best reflection I can give of my experience in this class is the active recount of the time I spend immersed within the Linda Vista community, as both a resident and surveyor for potential Food Gardens. It is there, walking the streets and investigating the potential lots that visually confronted me with the issues of our current food system - and Linda Vista doesn’t quite make the mark to be colored in red on the SB 535 Disadvantaged Communities in San Diego map (Pezzoli, Lecture 1). According to the CalEnviroScreen, however, the 92110 area sports a yellow, 51-60% on the Disadvantaged Neighborhoods: Food Forests and the Water-Climate-Infrastructure Nexus (Pezzoli, Lecture 1). Even still, my experience in Linda Vista provided a dire visuality for the disparities at hand, as fresh food produce was few and far between save for those under corporate control pushing empty nutrient, high sugar and calorie foods.

This is a reflective essay based on a event which took place in a hospital setting. The aim of this essay is to explore how members of the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) worked together and communicate with each other to achieve the best patients outcome.

Forest Hills Northern is an extremely diverse school. I consider myself lucky for being able to participate in activities such as our international fair, where students can open a booth for their home country and educate other students about their local culture and cuisine. I'm a strong believer in the idea that diversity is essential to having a good educational experience. I'm specifically seeking out schools that share my same ideals. I've also sought cultural experiences outside of traditional classwork. Last summer I took a backpacking course through the National Outdoor Leadership School in Washington. I met people from all over the country; some came from as far as California or Rhode Island. When you spend thirty days in the wilderness
