GCU Reflective Report

Before attending GCU and using the sources that they provide, I normally would use resources and tools that were provided by various universities. Two notable examples that I would use where Purdue University's OWL and also Calvin College's KnightCite. OWL is a particularly helpful source since it offers a wide variety of articles regarding various topics that play a key role within successful writing. KnightCite was also a source I widely used because of the fact that it was a great way in order to get MLA (which I used in high school) citations for works used in my papers. However, nowadays I mainly use the sources provided by GCU such as the writing center which I have found to be quite helpful. In particular, I enjoy the templates provided

On March 30, as of three thirty in the morning, my life has officially changed. The labor pains had set in and it was time to have a baby. I had never felt a pain so excruciating in my life, and I thought that cramps were terrible, labor pains do not even compare. I climbed the stairs to my aunts room to let her know that it was time to go to the hospital. After watching her run around the room frantically she finally was able to rush me to the hospital. She zoomed through street lights rushing for fear that I may have the baby in the car and she would pass out. Had

Three years ago, I was first introduced to the Student National Pharmaceutical Association. The mission of serving the underserved was something that resonated with me strongly as a lack of resources early on in life made the local pharmacist my family’s main point of access to medical care. For this reason, I gained a strong passion to serve the community through SNPhA. Early on, I sought out mentors within the organization. These mentors taught me a great deal about the organization, leadership, and growth. Recently, I got the opportunity to serve on the executive team as our chapters Historian. Working as a part of the executive team has given me insight into this amazing organization at the local level, while allowing me to hone my communication

On January 3rd, 2008 a very cold winter day my water bag broke as I grab my bags and get ready to head to the hospital with so many mixed emotions happy,scared, sad and overwhelmed as we arrive at Cypress hospital in Houston,Tx at 9:30 am they quickly give us a room in the labor and delivery as we wait for our son to enter the world hours pass by and still nothing no baby almost 10 hours of waiting for our son his heart rate was dropping Dr.Castillo came in to inform us that I was needing an emergency c-section to get the baby out as soon as possible as we prepare to go into surgery a nurse walk in to give me anaesthesia and procedures that will happen during surgery I'm filled with so much nerves of the unknown praying my son comes out fine

As I completed the UNSW Professional Development Program , I was invited to apply for a pilot project called ‘NSW Global Scope’ offered by StudyNSW NSW Department of Premier & Cabinet and Sydney-based education services and technology start-up, Intersective during Semester 1 2016.

This leadership experience is an accurate demonstration of my credentials and a large source of my purpose. I am organizing this overnight conference, seeking to improve the leadership capacity of students by encouraging them to discover their individuality and bond with other leaders. As MOCA, I update the schedule with minute-by-minute details; delegate roles to the security team, mentors, and executives; draft the itinerary and timeline; negotiate venue and transportation prices; and communicate with sponsors. This experience has taught me how to use budgets efficiently and improved my organization skills. I have also learned that with purposeful action and passion, I can leave a mark and create positive change in any vocation I pursue.

My most challenging concern is finding a place to implement my Capstone project. I thought about using my local library, but getting nurses to come maybe a problem. Right now I am on medical leave from my hospital, therefore I cannot get the hospital involve. My potential resources are my two friends that have experience in teaching. One friend is a nursing instructor and another friend once taught in a LPN nursing program. Most of my nursing jobs required me to talk to a large group of people during our interdisciplinary team meetings. I had to discuss patients’ cases with the interdisciplinary team. In my class, as a part of a teaching exercise, I want to talk about documented case studies regarding culture and have students talk about

I was born with a diaphragmatic hernia. A diaphragmatic hernia is a birth defect in which there is an abnormal opening in the diaphragm. In 1997, only 1% of the babies born with the defect were able to survive the condition; shockingly, I was part of the 1%. After finding out that I had the condition, I had to be shipped to a hospital on the other side of the state of Rhode Island. So one of my father’s friends was a police officer. I was police escorted across the state, in order to make it in time; I made it in time. At the time, babies with the condition had to live for 3 days in order to qualify for the surgery. The first 3 days of my life were some of the most stressful days of my life my parents had to go through. Right off the bat, the doctors told my parents it was very unlikely that I would last 3 days. I was a very small baby, only weighing 3 lbs. But by some miracle, I lived for 3 days and I was able to get the

I went into the hospital on February 15, 1991 at 7am and they popped my stitched and made me walk the hall for 8 hours to see if I was going to have any type of labor pains, but nothing happened so they did an emergency c-section. Due to complications, no one was allowed in the birthing room. Your father remained in the waiting room with brother, grandmaw and grandpaw, and your nanny. I honestly didn’t prepare for your birth due to the fact that I was on strict bed rest and your father was busy working and tending to your brother so life was pretty hectic. We just did what we had to do in order to get by. In fact you didn’t even have a nursery because we didn’t have the time. I couldn’t leave the house to pick what I wanted, so all we had was a baby bed in our bedroom until we were able to get situated. The only medication and procedures involved during your childbirth was an epidural and a c-section. My whole pregnancy consisted of

During the first class period we were able to discuss the syllabus and gain a general understanding of what we can expect from SOCW 502, as well as the competencies that will be covered in this course. We further discussed what we, as students, are expected to do to be successful in this course. After discussing the syllabus we were able to have a group discussion about the semester project as well as the weekly reflective journals. This gave us time to get acquainted and further discuss each person’s area of interest, which will be helpful in selecting a topic for the semester project. We were then able to learn more about the instructor of the course. It was also interesting and entertaining to hear about the educational background of the

It was great to have the opportunity to play the role of a supervisor, because even though we both are in different tracks (School and Mental health), I was able to provide support to my supervisee by listening to what my supervisee had to say and I was also able to encourage her by providing different types of ideas that best fulfill her needs. In contrast of the supervisor role, playing the role of a supervisee was more relaxing because it was basically me describing different types of issues that I have at my site. But overall this was a great activity.

Sudden pain on my lower belly jolted me awake. What felt like an eternity of knives stabbing my abdomen only lasted a few seconds. I knew the minute I felt the pain that something was wrong. Something was wrong with my baby twin girls. Without wanting any more harm coming to my babies, I yelled my sisters name. Looking all disheveled with her cut up butterfly pajama shorts and matching shirt, she ran into the small room and noticed something was wrong. As soon as she saw my worried facial expression, she knew what to do. We had to go to the hospital. Without wasting time, she grabbed the two overflowing hospital bags and guided me to the beat-up van. Then we were off.

7A) I have always taken a proactive approach by applying effective leadership, managerial, and organizational skills to achieve continuous success which was demonstrated in my $90 million I-15 design sequencing projects (2004 to 2008), where I have continuously received favorable ratings for administering and implementing BMPs that comply with the NPDES permit and the best compliance record in D11 for conducting labor relation interviews. My leadership and commitment to quality improvements resulted in my $10 million major maintenance project being rated the best quality dowel bar retrofit in the State in year 2003 to 2004. In the years 2000 to 2003: led, managed, and directed a staff of 10 engineers to perform multiple tasks simultaneously to complete work on $20 million six concurrent

For my winter 2017 co-op term, I worked at KPMG LLP, Canada as a staff accounting in the Financial Institution and Real Estate audit group. Similar to my midterm reflection, I worked in teams of 4-6 people, with various level of expertise including staff accountants, seniors, managers and partners. Over the last half of the work term, I worked on 3 different real estate clients (two public and one private company) working on various audit work such as debt and revenue sections.

Throughout my placement experience, one of my primary objectives has been to develop competency in facilitating client’s change process. As my role involved co-facilitating a group therapy workshop, it encompassed understanding the inter-play of group process and dynamics, coupled with ability to apply and translate interventions to suit group situation (Sonia Online, 2015).
