Creative Problem Solving Research Paper

I failed to reach the top of the rock climbing wall on the playground, and as a result, I have strived even harder to reach the peak of success in everything I do. Instead of becoming discouraged and disappointed in myself, I found a way to improve myself for my next challenge. Learning from my mistakes has molded me into an improved person while giving me the motivation to keep pushing forward. Failure has taught me the importance of learning from your errors and trying again, no matter how difficult it may be. Without lessons like these, I would not be the motivated, independent person that I am today. I will continue to fail and try again until I achieve my goal of reaching the

Seeing how HOSA has kindled in me, a passion for the medical field and given me experiences and knowledge which I would like to pass on to new members. Membership in HOSA allows

Most six-year-olds have dreams of becoming a ballerina or an astronaut, not me, I have known since I was in kindergarten that I want to be a doctor and help the people around me. I joined HOSA-Future Health Professionals my freshman year to gain insight and knowledge towards a potential career in the healthcare industry although I was unaware of the opportunities that I would now be able to experience and growth that would now be possible for myself. Looking back on the years since joining HOSA, I have watched myself grow as a leader who continues to learn more every day about better ways to serve those around me. By the end of my first State conference freshman year, I knew I wanted to become more involved in HOSA-Future Health Professionals and someday run for State Office. When I joined HOSA, I viewed the state officers as role models for their love for HOSA and desire to serve the members. Here I am three years later, going after a goal I set for myself as a timid freshman, hopeful that each of these qualities I saw in these state officers are a few of the qualities that people will see in me every day.

It was a Friday evening; our team gathered before the competition started in a couple of minutes. We all gave “good lucks” to one another and off we were to the competition. After what seemed like days, it was time for the award ceremony. We are able to see our

With the help from my past experience and knowledge as president, I am able to govern and lead the school more efficiently. SCCA is known by the public in a more positive way now, and that makes me proud to say that I will be graduating from SCCA. Becoming ASB president is my most proudest achievement, and I am very upset that this is my last year of high school, but I can honestly say that I’m glad I got the chance to get my high experience at SCCA. I hope that in the future when I visit SCCA, as a college student, the school will be better than it is now, and that the legacy that I’ll leave behind will be remembered

Before I had come into high school, there was no way for people who wanted to pursue health to get involved with any other students with that same desire. When this club, called the Health Organization for the Students of America (HOSA), was finally created, I wanted to join and maintain a leadership position immediately. I was elected as chairman and was ready to make a mark on New Albany High School. As a chairman, I was responsible for making the school become involved in interscholastic competitions with clubs similar to ours. By performing in these interscholastic competitions, the students of our school would gain an application to the breadth of knowledge learned in classes to the practical field of medicine. In our first year, we were

My journey was long and hard, all the while working towards a greater goal. Finally looking at a letter, “We apologize, but we were unable to find a seat for your excellent efforts and talents,” I was proud, oddly enough. I was proud of the letter I was holding, for it defined my determination, hard work, and advancement. I was proud of the opportunity I seized with both hands. I was proud of the fearless jump I had taken.

I have been very involved in HOSA (Future Health Professionals) which has allowed me to discover and pursue my interest in the medical field. HOSA has health career competitions, where I was able to compete at the state level in Sports Medicine, win 2nd Place in state level Pathophysiology and compete internationally in Pathophysiology. At HOSA conferences I have gotten to meet professionals and learn more about their fields, ranging from cardiothoracic surgery to chiropractic medicine. HOSA has influenced my future in a way that inspired me to help others pursue their interest in the medical field because of that I became the VP of Service. As VP of Service, I lead volunteer activities including the school blood drive and decorating the Northeast

I am a highly creative problem solver seeking to be a part of an innovative team. I offer AbbVie six years of project management experiences and 13 years of IT background. I am currently employed as a Project Manager and Process Improvement Consultant at Carle Foundation Hospital.

During the summer between my sophomore and junior years, I was one of four students selected to represent my school and council at the National Josten’s Renaissance conference in Orlando Florida. My fellow students and I learned a great deal about other schools around the country and we wanted to take some ideas back to our school to implement them. One of our key ideas focused on recognizing various students at our high school that constantly achieve remarkable feats, but largely go unnoticed by the school as a whole. Being vice president of my class, I took charge of this initiative and designed a solution to the problem. I advocated that we replace our typical, mundane, class meetings with class rallies, a pep rally type atmosphere for more

The day of the competition arrived. I had to wake at 4:30 a.m, and everybody had to be at the meeting spot by 5:30 a.m. After we took role, we all drove off our separate ways to meet up at Antelope Valley College. As I sleepily laid my cheek on the cold car window, watching the sky lighten and the sun rise, I thought of the times I stayed up until well over 1:00 a.m typing up notes, and all of the hours I spent searching up information regarding the events, and how much time flew by from the day the Spirit of the Team begin to prosper and grow. We were all fully prepared of the possibility of not getting into State; after all, none of the schools in our school district has ever gotten into State Science Olympiad before. Every year, I do the same thing. Sign up to the competition, study, go to the competition, and have fun. But this year, I felt like we accomplished something. It may not be significant to the other districts competing, but to us, it meant a lot. We already won over our own

“It’s time to restore balance in our schools so that teaching and learning, not testing, are at the center of our education,” pg. 164 (Robinson, 2015, P.164). As a teacher it is important to know that standardized tests are meaningless. Teachers should not focus on practicing for the required tests because it will only make the students less motivated to learn. I hated taking standardized test because it was so stressful. I felt like I was never smart enough or good enough, so why should I even try? This is not the kind of mindset I want my student to have. I plan to not worry about my students’ test scores and be more like the mindset Singapore has. For example, they do less standardized testing and they rank high in PISA league. I believe that when teachers motivate their students that’s when we see the best results of student achievement. One way for

This gave us a new goal, although it seemed unreachable at the time; to get to nationals. When we performed at state and watched some of our competitors, all of which were outstanding, we became extremely nervous. We had all put so much into this project and it had become such an important part of our lives that we didn’t want it to end. I honestly did not expect to move on, mostly because I didn’t want to get my hopes up and then be disappointed if we didn’t make it. When the judges got to Junior Group Performances and announced that we were moving on, we were elated. Even looking back on this moment, nearly four years later, I feel the same sense of pride as I felt upon initially hearing the judges call our names. A month later, we competed twice, and ended up getting fifth place in the nation. This was a disappointment to some extent, because we had really hoped to do better, but as a result of our research, we were able to add a survivor to Cornell’s list of people who escaped the fire. Not only did this program change my life but I feel as though we were able to leave our mark in history. Since the most important goal to me is to make an impact, I feel as though this whole project has been one of my greatest accomplishments. Today, I am unbelievably happy that I was able to be a part of such a rewarding program and I would not be the

Clients in the Contemplation stage of change may feel apprehensive because of challenges at home. Although they want something to be different they feel as though it is not worth changing if other external factors remain the same (i.e. parents). By allowing the client to construct the most absurd solutions, we are looking empower the client’s locus of control. Pick two or three ideas and modify them to become appropriate for the next week of the program or upon their return home (Selekman, 2005).
