I decided to participate in the Global Gateway for Teachers program because I have always wanted to study abroad, but being an education major can make this experience. I transferred to Indiana University my second year of college and this program was one of the reasons I wanted to transfer here. I loved how I would be able to teach in another country and learn more about global education. Therefore, since IU offers this opportunity, I wanted to take advantage of it because I will get to experience and learn about another country and their culture, be able to grow as an individual and professional while being in another country and in a school setting, and go to a country that is known for their reading recovery.

At the very beginning of the program, we wrote professional and personal goals that we wanted to meet by the end of the program. Some goals that I wrote that would improve my personal growth are becoming more confident in myself as an individual, becoming more independent, and learn about another culture and their values and traditions.I am a firm believer in knowing yourself and what you do or do not stand for. This program will contribute to this identification because I will most likely be put in situations where I feel uncomfortable, nervous, or even excited, but I will learn from these experiences and be able to reflect back on how I reacted to

Adults and peers have described me as dependable, fair, honest, trustworthy, intelligent, empathetic, respectful, and friendly and I do my best to live by these characteristics. One of my main mottos is to treat others the way you want to be treated. I am by no means a perfect person and I try to accept help and criticism whenever it is offered in an effort to keep improving upon my character. I am a reliable student, sister, daughter, and friend. I believe I would learn a lot from being a member of this program because being surrounded by peers with similar moral and academic character would allow me to do even more to make my community a better place. This would be a perfect opportunity to benefit from any experiences this program has to offer me and make a positive impact on my school and

The choice of setting in a novel work to establish the values represented by society and how characters are viewed. This may lead to a brick of independence or even a period of ignorance and judgment. In the novel the Scarlet letter,The Puritan society represents a suppression of women and highlights the intensity of mistakes, specifically that was made by Hester who commits adultery and ashamed to show the novel's stance on independence and values.
I had the amazing privilege to serve as an informal ambassador for my country of birth (Italy), clearing up cultural stereotypes, and creating positive connections between two cultures. I had the joy of meeting people from other cultures. Sharing problems, connecting with cultural differences and similarities gave me the opportunity to learn not only about other cultures but also about local and global issues. The desire to understand these issues, and to solve them (like for example immigration issues with Mexican-born people living in the United States) inspired me to apply for the study abroad program-language immersion in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

In the 1980s in America, a war raged. There were casualties and broken lives. What transpired during that war changed the face of America for generations. This was not a war between countries however; this was a war between women: what they called the “The Feminist Sex Wars”. “Anti-porn” feminists led by Andrea Dworkin debated with “pro-sex” feminists on subjects such as prostitution, erotica, and pornography and their position within feminism and our society. Dworkin and her supporters argued that these were products of a patriarchal society, that these were extremely harmful toward the image and status of women. Others such as Susie Bright argue that prostitution and pornography can be “feminist” or empowering to women, and are not intrinsically harmful. In this paper, I will endorse the view of radical feminists that pornography is harmful, not only for those who appear in it, but those who consume it.
The reason as to why I am applying for this summer program is because of the opportunity that it provides. Programs such as these gives the unique opportunity to explore multiple different career paths. But, not only does it provide a learning opportunity, it also allows a cultural one. Being able to travel and live in a foreign country at such a young age is one of the most memorable and amazing things that you can do. I believe that if accepted into this program, that I will do my very best to prove myself dedicated as a student because I want to spend my life learning and preparing myself for the real world as a careered woman. I have not yet solidified what I would like to be in the future, but as of this moment, I hope to possibly become
Apart from assisting in examining the root problem, the theory is also useful in coaching. This is defined as developing a significant relationship between client and consultant personnel who uses a range of behavioral methods and techniques to attain mutually identified goals (Peel, 2005). The goals differ from one client to another depending on factors such as gender, religious identity, ethnic background, and socioeconomic status. Depending on each client's affiliation on different social dynamics, a social worker can identify what to do to develop an effective coaching strategy. For instance, Bandura (2005) suggests that although individuals might be exposed to the same stimulus, they might respond differently. Moreover, their rewards to
The reason I am interested in this program is because I want to have real experiences. I no longer want to look at life through a computer screen. I want to be the one researching and challenging myself in every possible way. I am a very open-minded and ambitious person. I am prepared to tackle any task that comes my way. I have little outdoor experience, but I want nothing more than to learn. Adventures are the best way of learning so this position was naturally appealing to me. This program will give me the opportunity to apply what I learned in class to the real world and allow me to escape the ordinary. I am a freshman in college with a massive desire for learning. I wish to leave my own trail and be the ripple in a wave that will produce
