Throughout the course of the quarter I amplified my capacity to not only write but also to to be able to judge and edit my own writing. In all three projects we were given the chance to make

Gary Colombo, Robert Cullen, and Bonnie Lisle in their book “Rereading America” feel that commencing college is a very disturbing experience. So many things we have to deal while starting college, but the major challenges are expanded difficulty levels and higher expectation which we are not familiar over the years of high school. In order to solve this issue, we have to remodel ourselves by taking up the challenge and rethink about our strength and flaws. To succeed in college we need to be mentally strong and dedicated towards our goal.

the first day of college came closer and I was reminded of its existence. Picking up the book and

As a mother of a high school student, I feel as though it is a brilliant idea to let Mr. Ishmael Beah speak to the students. The fellow peers of your school need to value how lucky they are to be in such a sheltered atmosphere. Sensing the indisputable emotions of Mr. Beah telling his story of being a boy soldier is a lesson that should not be passed up. Understanding how atrocious it must have been to fight in a war solely based on supremacy and riches would help these teenagers understand what strength and determination really is.

Making adjustments in life, no matter the situation, always takes time. These first couple of weeks of the new semester have been challenging for me. Despite the encounters, I was still able to learn an ample amount of information that can also be perceived as life lessons. Throughout this week, I have learned that I am lucky to be born here in the United States, learned the different views of my peers, and learned that I need to be more attentive.

The book “Among the Hidden” is a great book about a kid name Luke who is a third child who is not allowed to be seen, so his parents hide him in the attic. The police and the people so they don’t kill Luke. So, they hide him in the attic for his own safety. Then Luke thinks his neighbor The Sports family have a third child Jen. In the book “Among the Hidden” Luke changes a lot from the beginning of the book to the end.

This semester involved many writings that challenged my process in ways big and small. The variety of prompts each had their own details that required me to change perspectives as well as research topics to test my abilities as a writer. The topic that I felt helped me grow as a writer the most was the Personal Narrative. This essays caused me to think in its own way and only after completion was I able to effectively use the methods it taught me in my other assignments.

“My Freshman Year: What a Professor Learned by Becoming a Student” by Rebekah Nathan, is one of the best legitimate books about anyone’s freshmen year in college. As a sophomore, I can vouch for that. Nathan uses facts, multiple studies, and an ample amount of research to write a beneficial book to represent someone’s freshmen year of college. Nathan, after teaching for 15 years starts to wonder why fewer students are participating in class discussions, reading assignments, homework, attending class, being polite, and not coming to her during office hours. Nathan learns how to adapt to having different demographics than her peers, she learns how it feels to be an international student in the U.S., and she learns how to help her teach as a professor to how students act in present day.

Hello Karyl, thank you for sharing with your thoughtful ideas, I totally agree with you with the three key concepts in the book you point out. On the one hand, Efficient communication is the key to understanding patients as well as get ideal outcomes from the patients. On the other hand, every healthcare provider along with the patients have the same goal for medicine treatment and therapy. All people evolved in the healthcare team should aware of this goal, and try their best to achieve this goal. Actually I really love the third point, which is that we should treat the patients differently according to their background and health conditions. Personally I am very fond of precision medicine, or called personalized medicine. Practitioners who

When I started Rutgers in the fall of 2014, I was very nervous because I did not know many people and I heard several rumors about how college is much more challenging than high school could ever be. My performance is high school was satisfactory, but not as good as I wanted it to be, which made me even more nervous about college. But the English courses at Rutgers really changed my perspective on myself. I remember myself sitting in class and I wondered what makes this class so different from high school English courses. Then, my teacher walks and greets us. She starts off the class by introducing us to a new text called the “On Habit” by Alain De Botton. “On Habit” is about how the little things in life can bring happiness into a person’s

On class SWK 319 we got to read Having My Say from Delany sisters and Hearth A. book. In the last day of class, we saw the movie of the same title. Now I will talk about the differences and the similarities of both, book and movie. It was very interesting to read the book and while reading I was imagining how they look, the place and the way they father talked to them all. The book was long in my opinion and was little confusing because it was back and forth. I have heard that sometimes the book is better than the movie, maybe because the movie doesn’t cover much of the information in the book. I really wanted to see the movie because it is the first time on read a book and then watch a movie. I was expecting to see everything that I read in the book, but it didn’t happen.

Few professionals are willing to reveal their knowledge on how to succeed in an educational institution, or college, but Lynn Jacobs and Jeremy Hyman have provided over 600 tips for incoming freshman and current college students to thrive in their educational experience. When leaving the comfort of high school many students find it difficult to feel secure in their spine-chilling college. The first approach taken by the writers of this book was to inform readers about the things they should know about college but most-likely don’t, and the things they don’t know about grading but really should. Once provided with the basics readers’ minds were opened to do's and don'ts for picking your course, twelve habits of top college students, ten secrets

Congratulations you have been accepted to college. These seven words can have a huge impact and change the future for someone. However this change can have a horrendous impact with the direction a person’s life can turn out. College is supposed to be the greatest time filled with lasting memories, memorable relationships, and a time when a recent high school graduate can prepare for a successful future. First steps are made to making dreams and aspirations come true, with a brief realization that anything is possible. Alternatively for some dreams turn into nightmares and those aspirations will come tumbling down.

Sitting in class for the first time, it was half of what I expected. I expected to sit by people I didn’t know, learn about old things in new lights, and writing a lot of papers. What I didn’t expect was me hating college. I am not as creative as some teaches would like, but that isn’t my personality, and I dint want it to be either. I fully expected college to try and morph me into a perfect little student that I knew I wasn’t. College so far to me hasn’t been fun and I will treat it like Wal-Mart. When I say that, I mean that I will get in and get out as fast as possible. If I pick up stuff along the way then alright, but if I don’t, then it won’t kill me.

My first semester as a college student is coming to an end. I remember moving in, scared of making friends and starting a new adventure. I remember wandering around like a lost sheep attempting to find the classrooms I would spend the next few months in. All this seems like it happened forever ago, but in reality, it was just three short months ago. Mid-semester, I recall beginning to countdown the weeks left. And now here I am. I made it.
