The second to last essay type we wrote this year were personal essays, which were a blend of reflection, analysis, and persuasion. The first was about A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and the second was about The Odyssey. The purpose of writing this kind of essay is to develop a thesis, which “probes” the theme of an issue or text. While writing these essays, I learned to “probe” and question the meanings of a certain issue. I also learned important techniques and lessons for integrating multiple
The purpose of this, my reflective essay, is to consider the journey I have taken to develop and create both the story research task and the story task. In the first task I was tasked to do an in-depth research on a topic that was trending or perceived as popular with a wide and varied audience. Accordingly, this would be a topic that could be seen to span a range of Social Media and established news sources. Then, in the second task, I was required to create a well-structured article based on the
During the first week study, the lecture reminds me of the previous course in Enggen 303. Rob emphasize how important the communications are inside the team work through some samples and activities. I totally agree that but I would like to talk about my own opinion in here for some points. During the lecture, we really think in deep about people and understand how important to understand our own values, ethics and integrity. Sometimes in our life that we have to work with someone we are not comfortable
Over the course of my life I have been a part of many groups and have been exposed to many values. Each group membership or value has shaped me into the person I am today. I consider myself a member of many groups including my biological family, my church family, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) alumni, and George Mason University’s (GMU) Master’s in Social Work (MSW) graduate student cohort. My biological family includes my immediate family members, as well as my extended
5) For 24 years as STE 13 /11 LW, I have demonstrated exceptional and effective communication skills in many projects where I have made public presentations in front of City Councils and in public meetings. These public meetings included Senator’s representatives, hotel and business associations. As and SRE I presented I-15 Managed lanes Middle to the community on several occasions. In addition, I have also represented Ct to governmental and other representatives that visited my project, including
When first embarking on my college journey, my writing skills were not a salient topic of concern. I have always considered myself a solid writer, and have earned corresponding grades that reflected, while somewhat bolstering, my assumptions. As I enrolled in HNRS 103: Honors Written and Oral Communication, I felt that I would do well, and it would not be a course that I would necessarily be constantly worrying over throughout the semester. I expected to write papers and do written assignments regularly
Personal Presentation & Style In our Skype meeting Peter Owen impressed as having a large or outgoing personality and an expressive, self-confident somewhat blokey personal communication style. I thought it was probably highly appropriate to building engineering construction site operations. In my view he has the personal authority and technical expertise to give direction to tradespeople. He appears to be savvy down to earth, and probably not easily hood winked by these personnel. At the same
As I reflect more on my childhood years and the complexity of my family as it goes back generations I have come to better understand myself. Consequently, there are a number of personal and professional implications from these reflections. The personal implications have been the most difficult to work through, and many have only come to the surface through working on keeping a healthy marriage with my wife Megan and in raising our daughter together. The first implication, is the need to live out
“Writing is something you do alone. Its a profession for introverts who want to tell you a story but don’t want to make eye contact while doing it” -John Green In order to fully understand my writing abilities and how i comprehend literature it must be said i identify as an INFJ. My primary interest in a subject can be summed up with one question, is it good for people? The more beneficial the subject is to helping mankind the more interest i exhibit. Information which appeal to my feelings and
As I reflect on the drafting of this paper I recall frustration, but also achievement. I struggled initially because writing is not one of my best traits and it was hard for me to communicate my ideas thoroughly. However, as I continued to research more information and edit my paper, the writing became easier. I feel as though I learned a great deal about the topic, which allowed the writing to flow smoothly. Overall, I think that once I had more knowledge on diabetes, I was able to communicate the
