Cooperatively Focused Experiences

Tell me about an assignment that was too difficult for you. How did you resolve the issue?

What challenges has your character struggled with in life? Has he or she overcome them or is he or she still working them out?

Throughout my time in college, I spent a lot of time working in teams, either for group projects, or for the extracurricular activities that I was involved in. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to develop myself as a group leader through my work in the Cavalier Marching Band, where I was able to work my way up to the position of Drill Instructor. In this role, I was responsible for motivating my group to quickly learn and adapt, as we worked towards the common goals of self-improvement and putting on a great show at the next home football game. I know that the skills that I have built through this

I do play both volleyball and basketball. In that sport my height has given me many advantages. I can get higher up, block the ball from coming over the net, hit harder, and shoot over people. It has also allowed me to meet many people around my height that have become some of my best friends. By becoming friends with people that are tall I have learned many insecurities that many of them have, that I used to have. When I heard other people talking about them, I kind of realise that it isn’t really that big of a deal. When we are struggling with an issue about anything, we often think that we are the only ones in the world that feel that way. We fail to notice that so many others are feeling the same way and that it is totally

A significant challenge I have faced in my life was when I went through survival training during the summer of 9th grade when I was apart of a military youth program known as the California Cadet Corps. Known as the hardest feat in the program, Cadets who enlist in it must survive 5 days in the woods without food, water or shelter accompanied 3 strangers in order to receive one of the highest honors, the red beret. Though at first the task sounds lively, it quickly transforms into a living nightmare where one must endure hunger, cold nights, and grueling feelings of regret and homesickness that nearly made me pick up the security radio given to us and say the shameful words, I quit. If not for the group of daring individuals alongside me,

Please describe your most challenging academic or professional experience and your response to that experience. *

When first learning the different technical aspects of volleyball, I wasn’t exactly thrilled. During my first practice, I had no idea what it meant to be athletic until I realized the necessity of hustling and focusing

One experience I have had is getting to take part in peer coaching. In that class, I assist the Special Ed students with their school work, and help show them how to behave in class. When I explain to other students what the class is, they almost always say “I want to do that”. As an introverted leader, this is how I demonstrate my influence. I affect others by setting a strong example. I result to me taking this class, I am not just helping others who need

This study showed a significant affect in interdisciplinary collaborative abilities between allied health students exposed to a traditional ICU clinical experience and those that have had a combination of clinical and interdisciplinary simulation experiences. High-fidelity clinical simulation offers an excellent opportunity for inexperienced allied health teams to practice demanding clinical simulations. The interdisciplinary format offered, to four disciplines, a safe environment to practice interpersonal skills, communication, and improve collaborative abilities.

The most recent collaborative experience I’ve been a part of was an entirely student-run production of Next to Normal at my school. After barely any cooperation from my school’s administration, the cast took it upon ourselves to raise the $3,000 required for rights, find a rehearsal space outside of school, and find independent ways to advertise. The environment in rehearsal was equally collaborative. Our two directors were students who were also in the show, both of whom very much respected and accepted our ideas and opinions about characters, blocking, and how to tackle the tough material the show focuses on. I learned through this experience that a, even if I do consider myself to be an incredibly open-minded person there is always room

• What main obstacles or difficulties have you had to overcome in recent months, if any?

The most challenging obstacle I faced was during middle school. Not only was I outcasted simply because my character did not fit into a whitewashed rich boy image.Most of my classmates would simply only think of themselves and how they can make themselves even more popular. During middle school I still hadn’t realized not fitting in would be fine. Not only did this incident brought me depression people simply didn’t care. Simply giving me punishments every time my grade fell. I would still tell myself to be happy that everything would be all right. But all it did was give me a fake mask to face reality.

The challenge I face was being stubborn but God intervened and taught me to be humble.

A strong example of my leadership experience is my senior season of football. Following the 2016-2017 academic year, our head coach resigned on short notice and lacked any coach to fill the position. Because he left on such short notice, we didn’t have a coach for the first two weeks of the preseason, a crucial developing point in the season. However, a small group of other seniors and I were able to schedule workouts until we got a new coach. This established our group as team leaders and allowed us to lead the team to success in the regular season. I was later named a team captain for my leadership on and off the field. This gave me the ability further lead by example as well as keep the team’s morale up in the face of adversity. I ran extra

Having the ability to work well in a team and also work effectively independently is vital. For many years, I was part of a local orchestra and jazz band and this demonstrated and signified how important it is to be able to work as part of a team and support each other. Whilst working in schools, I have developed strong professional relationships with teachers and other staff members, who have often supported me in many ways, along with providing my support to them.
