In When We Fight, We Win by Greg Jobin-Leeds it says that “comparison can block compassion both for others and for ourselves.” I agree with such statement; I think that listening is a skill you learn throughout time. One can pretend to listen without really getting anything out of the conversation that one is having with that other person. In the Compassionate Listening workshop, I got to do it with Rachel Kurland and I sit and listened to her talking about the moment her friend treason her. I tried to understand her plight, why would she not cut that friendship off, I understood she loved her friend, however, I could not resist bringing my biases to our conversation. I asked myself, why is Rachel, such a good, loving, and smart person,

Such a cold and freezing winter, people naked and willing to survive… “The men began to regain their senses, their locomotion, and their hope”(deVaca 24-25). Do these quotes remind you something? La Relacion is the representative of historical narrative (a genre of writings that converts history into a story-based form) of the first European account of adventures with Native American in 15th century written by Alvar Nunez Cabeza deVaca. The entire story is about building a good relationship between Spaniards and Native Americans. La Relacion itself emphasizes the characteristic of historical narrative story not only by stating author’s opinion

In chapter one, page fifteen, I was intrigued by the quote, "I looked at my house in which I had spent years seeking my God, fasting to hasten the coming of the Messiah, imagining what my life would be like later. Yet I felt little sadness. My mind was empty."(Wiesel 15) This passage really caught my attention because, in the quote it shows how affected they really were. in this quote he's saying that, as hard as he tried to have faith in his god and pursue to the future of freedom, it gets harder and harder to have the faith when you have nothing left. I really thought this quote was interesting because it gives perspective on how affective this event was for the Jewish, they not only were leaving everything they had behind, but some of the faith and religion they carried with them.

was different from all other paintings I viewed in the museum. To me it was different

Visiting Adelanto in my point of view was a good experience because having a different idea about detainee jail in United States is important for me. I was impressed about how neat and organized was the place. Also, I have never been in a jail or a detention´s place like that, in this regard.

Reflection is a major factor in "developing self-awareness" to improve services provided to everyone around me, this is to develop my own understanding in realising the good and bad made previously. Moving forward with a better understanding, as well as rectifying the mistake whilst recognizing the good points, (Horton-Deutsch and Sherwood, 2008).

I do not recall learning about reflective practice in my undergraduate studies. Reflective practice according to Barbour (2013), “is the cyclic process of internally examining and exploring an issue of concern, triggered by an experience, which creates and clarifies meaning in terms of self, existing knowledge, and experience; resulting in a changed conceptual perceptive and practice” (p. 7). According to Barbour (2013), reflective process has many positive outcomes to help guide the nurse to become an expert nurse that can make on the spot decisions that do not interrupt patient care. I feel that reflective practice would have been beneficial to help guide me from a student nurse to a practicing nurse with critical thinking skills.

Art in Denver: A Guide to Things Worth Seeing, though nearly a hundred years old, is an informative piece of literature. Taking the tour around Denver’s historic artwork and architecture presents a fascinating comparison of the Denver that was and present day Denver. I can only hope that all pieces highlighted in this book remain intact and well

I was charged with a violation of the law on January 22, 2015. The charges were possession of cannabis and narcotic paraphernalia by the Daytona Beach Police Department. However, the charges were dismissed on July 16, 2015. I was not convicted of any crime. The Assistant State Attorney filed “NOLLE PROSQUI” for my case.

Jo’rel is a hard-working 4th grade male student in my Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) small group with a high intervention attendance rate. I-ready beginning of the year and end of the year assessments have Jo’rel improving from an “End of the Year first grade” level to a “Middle of the year third grader”. Looking at Jo’rel’s intervention record, he appears to not make any real progress (perhaps even moving back a little) – his accuracy decreased a slight bit and his comprehension dropped by half. However, I believe the topic of the book for this reading record, From Poop to Paper, hindered comprehension and accuracy. Jo’rel was very distracted, and a little off put, by having to read and discuss poop, so I am not sure if this last reading record accurately reflects his current ability.

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

the cutoff is higher for any of those. So Marist has changed just like its campus says change, its reputation is changing, and it’s known you know throughout the United States and now becoming known in international community.

One of the most visually intriguing pieces in the exhibit is the Portrait of Père Bouju by Maurice de Vlaminck. It was painted around the year 1900 by the French artist. It is not particularly beautiful by normal standards. At first glance, the texture of the paint stands out more than any other feature. It has very strongly defined brush strokes and thick paint in portions, especially the face of the man and the background. The lines in the paint are mostly straight, short, and wide with some that are thinner and wavy, like the smoke. The man is in the center of the canvas, he is the only discernable image, and he is almost devoid of detail aside from the face and the hat. The colors are almost entirely neutral aside from the red scarf. In this oil on canvas portrait the man is wearing a

In my recent trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I visited two different galleries, including European Paintings 1250-1800 and 19th century and early 20th century European paintings and sculptures. The artworks are filled with history and beauty. There are many artworks that caught my attention including Vanitas Still Life by Jacques de Ghyen, The Third Class Carriage by Honore Daumier, Rehearsal of the Ballet on Stage by Edgar Degas and The Garden at Sainte-Adresse by Claude Monet.

Ut Prosim means more to me than just community service. To me it symbolizes a way to make a difference in the community. The act of community service whether big or small is crucial and can leave an immense impact on someone's life. I experienced this first hand while teaching senior citizens to speak Spanish. During my sophomore year of high school, I organized a Spanish class at the local library open to senior citizens who were interested in learning introductory Spanish which greatly affected my perspective on the world. While teaching this class, I learned how much of an impact one small action can make on someone's life. I watched as my students applied the knowledge they were learning to help others in the community. As I watched, I
