Being proactive can challenge you but is worth it. “There's only one thing we can control, how we respond to what happens to us. ”(Covey 54) What the author means in this quote is you can't control anything that happens to you, you can only choose how you react. My mentor, Jeff Davis, stated “doing things the correct way first can create less problems.” What he was talking about is if you decide to be reactive and not listen to what someone

As a child, I would image what my life would be like when I became a teacher. In this paper I will explore different developmentally appropriate approaching philosophies, theories, and concepts when teaching math, reading, science and the fine arts to young children across a developmental curriculum. Having to gain knowledge from the early childhood text helped me to create what I consider to be the perfect classroom plan. Preschool education is very important because this is their first experience towards twelve years of grade school. The knowledge they gather will increase as they grow and development.

I feel very honored to be one of many students nominated for the National Technical Honor Society. When I first received the news I had been nominated I was very surprised and I felt very accomplished. Being nominated is one of the highest honors, it means I have been recognized for outstanding grades, I show up and do my work, and I am willing to help others. I believe I should be a member of the National Technical Honor Society because I am a hard worker, I am dedicated to my work, I am reliable, I am honest, and I am a leader.

Although the United States has been regarded as having dominant world power amongst other nations, the truth lies far from its holdings. During the George W. Bush administration (2001-09), the United States went through the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, declared war on Afghanistan and Iraq causing poor standing with other nations, and was left with a $1.2 trillion-dollar deficit. With the election of a new President, President Obama, came new opportunities. During his campaign, President Obama focused on the needs of the American people rather than the needs of those of special interest. The former State Senator, Barack Obama, and Vice

At the time of the Spanish American War the United States went from relative isolation to increased global involvement because of 1. The spirit of the American people captured by the idea of the frontier and, 2. The belief it was the duty of America to maintain peace of all nations.

Is there a cost to both native and non-native communities as a result of the practice of corporate Shamanism? Please be specific and cite examples from the reading.

We discussed tonight about normal and exceptional development. Can you understand why it is not an easy thing to determine if a child is not developing appropriately and yet understand with more clarity how you might be able to notice children of concern. Explain.

This empirical method of maturity is basic, but it’s a strong statement. For this reason, I apologized to them. They didn’t forgive me right away, but as the days passed, they eventually forgave me. Either that, or the fact that they forgot about the whole incident. Just because of one incident, I learned a whole lot. All of this started because I wasn’t being careful. But since I learned a lot, I’m more careful with what I do. This experience, you could say, “haunts me” but in a good way. This reminds me of what to do, so that nothing like this incident would happen again. I’m very sure that everyone has done something that they regret doing. Those experiences is what makes us the people we are, in-terms of being responsible. If those experiences never happened, then this world would be full of carelessness. In conclusion, every mistake that you do, happens for a reason. The reason being that you can learn from them. This incident helped me understand that I’m that kind of person that learns from mistakes. Without my mistakes, I won’t learn anything. I would feel like I’m perfect, when the truth is, nobody’s perfect. I’ve told my story, now it’s time to tell

If the journey of our lives is like our journey in a car, being proactive means being the driver. The reactive people are the passengers in their own car, and they are letting other people or the condition to drive for them. While the reactive people wait for good things to happen to their lives, proactive people make them happen. They look for the things they want and if they cannot find one, they create one. They know what things they can control and what things they cannot control. Reactive people complain and worry about things they cannot control while proactive people deal with the things they can control. We cannot control the conditions, but we can control our respond towards the conditions. For example, when Amy has a problem, she becomes easily irritated, so when Beth told her that she looks miserable, Amy get irritated and said bad things to Beth. If Beth is a reactive person, she will be irritated as well; she will get mad and start a fight with Amy. This time, Beth is a proactive person, she does not like what Amy said about her, but she pull back and try to tolerate. Beth tries to understand that Amy is

There are so many events that change one’s life that it is rather difficult to try and decipher which of those events are most important. Each event changes a different aspect of your life, molding how one’s personality turns out. One of these events occurred when I was about twelve years old and I attempted to steal from a Six Flags amusement park. My reasoning for stealing wasn’t that I didn’t have the money, or even that I wanted what I stole all that badly, it was that all of my friends had stolen something earlier that day and didn’t get caught. After getting caught I resolved, because the consequences are just not worth it, never to steal or give into peer pressure again.
