Fox34 Reflection

To be perfectly honest my recollection of Comp 121 is a little foggy, i took the course roughly a year and a half ago and during my first semester and it was one of my first college level courses. From what i can recall it was a interesting and enjoyable, The professor Jacob Sherlock is no longer with the school, but was a professional writer along with a life-long lover and student of the written word. We regularly discussed current events and the class wide give and take of various ideas and viewpoints was truly enlightening and are easily amongst my most enjoyable and memorable college experiences. In particular i vibrantly recall a passionate debate on gun-control which was to be frank, dominated by a extremely Conservative former Army

Lastly, becoming a student worker has given me the opportunity develop my professional skills. As mentioned earlier, I have developed my public relations skills through my work, but I've also learned how to prioritize my tasks and how to balance work and personal time. My employer allows me to create my work schedule- with that comes the option of over-working myself, or not working enough in order to avoid responsibility; I learned what my limit it is and how to determine when the appropriate times for me to work

Internships are extraordinary opportunities to learn and grow. Internships are mostly designed to expand the depth and the breadth of the academic learning in the particular areas of the study. Internship is an opportunity to receive experience in applying all formulas, methods, theories in the classroom to specific experiences in the real world and to see how it actually works.

Next, I began my internship for the Targeted Engagement team at Targeted Victory, as I learned about the technology, advertising and political frim aspect of politics. Here, I helped create a daily company newsletter through email software applications such as Silverpop. I

I feel like I have had a better understanding of how people really think. I liked being able to go through each assignment and relate them to my own personal life. I have also learned how to manage my time much

Some people would have hated growing up in a household where the mantra “a place for everything and everything in its place” reigned supreme. However, I loved it because it helped me to develop my strongest talent- the talent of organization. I have used this skill throughout my high school experience, particularly through my extracurricular activities. For the past few years, I have enjoyed serving as the Executive Producer for my high school’s broadcasting program. Every week I was in charge of overseeing our broadcasts which included monitoring the script writing and reviewing the rough cut of the broadcast. I have also created music videos and other holiday video specials for my school. This activity allowed me to pursue my creative passion for broadcasting while also cultivating my talent for coordination and administration.

I'm a excellent writer and took many African American Studies classes. I also have a huge appreciation for the arts. I love to draw and I was apart of the drama and script writing club in High School. As such, I will be able to bring to the internship everything I learned as a English major which includes writing, communication, and leadership skills and my knowledge in art and

By working for a media relations department, it allows you to get experience in three additional sections of the sports world, public relations, statistical analysis, and marketing. Public relations and Media relations tend to go hand and hand so it was not uncommon when I found myself working more with the communications side of sports. During my second year, I was assigned to work the post-game conferences for football. It involved me going down to the locker rooms to bring up both the away and home team coaches. Once the press conference was over, I then had to transcribe both the coach and player interviews for the final writes ups for the game. My favorite part of the internship was the statistical analysis side. This part of the internship I found myself completely in my comfort zone. When I would manage sports in high school, one of my tasks were to score the games and keep each player’s stats. Not only was I keeping score for both Towson’s field hockey team and baseball team, I was learning how to use different programs that are used in professional sports. The last section of the sports world media relations overlapped with is marketing. This side taught me how to market college athletics and everything that goes into a marketing plan. Marketing seemed to be the departments weakest department because of the lack of students that showed up to athletics. When tailgating was taken away, we had to come up with alternatives for students to enjoy game-day. I tend to think more logistically than creatively, so this forced me to become more

In addition to studying general Business Marketing, I am specifically interested in the business of the entertainment industry, heavily focusing on the marketing and creative aspects of it. Ultimately, I am working towards a successful career in all areas of the entertainment industry and this internship can definitely sharpen my skills into becoming that well-versed and well-rounded player in the industry. In addition to being an A and B student, I also explore my craft and major concentration via extracurricular activities and beyond. Currently, I create and

Upon entering into Barry University (B.U.), I was an insecure black African- American woman full of passion coupled with a myriad misconceptions of what I thought social work consist of. However, during my two years as a undergrad student I learned that those misconceptions had kept me stagnant in facing and understanding my past traumatic events of life that could have had an negative effected on further clients and how I interact with others. For that reason, I would say my best experience in Barry’s BSW program was an assignment that I had to partake in called the Cultural Journal. This assignment not only hope me to learned about my cohorts’ culture as a Philippine woman, I learned that our culture had a lot in common such as that the

The Criminal Justice agency I worked with was the Southeast Texas Applied Forensic Science Facility or STAFS. At this agency, there is a focus on applying forensic science to the human body. There is an additional focus on what can be collected from the evidence that they are provided with. At STAFS, the bodies the scientist work on are donated and are treated with the upmost respect.

As the pumpkin spice latte has reappeared on the Starbucks menus, the heat wave from summer is slowly going away and giving a chance for fall to step in. Fall has always been somehow connected with poetry, and on Thursday, October 8th, I went to my first poetry reading at NYU, A Reading by the Academy of American Poets Chancellors. I was more excited to attend since I heard Mark Doty, the first American poet I’ve encountered this semester, would be reading. The reading was done by all award-winning chancellors of the Academy of American Poets at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts at NYU. It featured 22 poets: Elizabeth Alexander, Tina Chang, Toi Derricotte, Mark Doty, Elaine Equi, Linda Gregerson, Joy Harjo, Juan Felipe Herrera,

The most rewarding part was not only seeing my own writing and editing skills grow as a result of all the hours spent working on content for the Today, but seeing the few writers who came in with passion grow their skills over the course of the 15 weeks and knowing that even if I wasn’t able to spark a passion for journalism in every single writer, I at least gave everyone feedback and skills, and helped put a little more heat on the fire for a

An internship is no good if you do not make it work. Thus making the internship work for you is very important. To start out the student must want to direct their full attention to the internship because the internship is pretty much starting out their future. First impressions are usually suppose to be good so a student should not go into an internship thinking that it is going to be easy and that they can just blow through it. Internships should be beneficial for the students and the employer’s. The internship program coordinator should look for a few things when they are picking out the companies in which they are going to send their students to learn and gain experience. First off the firm in which you might be thinking about going into for an intern must have work for you to do. Sitting behind a desk all day staring out the window will not teach you anything. It also helps out when there are positive people surrounding the student intern. “For an internship to work, the firm’s principals must be available to supervise and teach.”(Berger 30) The student intern will usually have lots of questions and if there are good people around the intern to answer his or her questions and correct their mistakes then the internship will be quite beneficial.

The film Sicko was indeed a very powerful and educational documentary about the United States Health Care System. There were numerous stories that resonated with me, but if I were to just choose one, it would have to be the story about the 9/11 rescuers who couldn’t afford to receive treatment for their illnesses, which were caused by their heroism on 9/11. When I heard this story, it just made me so upset that our healthcare system could not make an exception to treat the many heroes of 9/11. On the contrary, they were treated better and on top of that for free by another country. Every single day we are losing thousand and thousand of our people simply because they do not have the means to pay for their treatments. In fact, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website states, that there are still over 28 million people in the United States who are uninsured (Cdc.gov, 2017). The American Journal of Public Health published a new study about the number of deaths found annually for those who are uninsured. The study found that nearly 45,000 annual deaths were associated with the lack of health insurance (Cecere, 2009). These numbers are upsurge and something needs to be done to change this.
