Now I am a PhD student, and I have done many research projects and think back about what the changes that happened to me since I started graduate school. Many thoughts came to my mind. I looked back, and I remembered myself one year ago. Actually many things have changed in my personality. I started to look at the people through a different lens, and that I accept every opinion from anyone. I do not judge people anymore because I know people have different issues in their lives that they went through, and those personal issues have shaped their lives. I developed a passion for helping others, even though my schedule is so tight (family and schoolwork) but I enjoy helping others and listing to everyone who is in need. Reading Hample’s article shed some light on many things I have never thought about. The knowledge domains in Hample article are area, connections, epistemology, pedagogy, profession, and politics. All of these domains were explained in details how the PhD student has expanded his knowledge toward his area of specialty through many things such as looking for connections from another specialty. Because producing knowledge is a gathering of information, it does not build from one person” whenever two or three are gathered together, someone spills the milk!” I also noticed that being an academic is not only to teach, but to deliver your message to everyone especially to those who will make a difference in our community. To build a good foundation of your
He urges that leaders recognize lack of knowledge and ask for help from mentors because people genuinely wish to lend a hand. He recalled a conversation in which he told a friend of feelings “not belonging” and had plans to resign his position with an organization. This happened simply because of misinterpreting words. He called it comparing his insides

I choose this prompt because it looked as it was the best of the prompts fitting to me. I myself come from several different backgrounds, I also carry a lot of different talents. People like those are very unique and are very productive in diverse community, and they turn to be very productive and effective individuals in their community. The past autumn I applied to the University of Washington, which is one of the high ranking schools in the nation, so I applied to all of their 3 branches, Seattle, Bothell and Tacoma, hoping with my different unique talents and personality I will be accepted and be offered admission to one of the 3 branches. Several months later I am here talking to you, that optimism I had has become a reality, I’ve got accepted into University of Washington Tacoma and I am still hoping I will also get accept into the Bothell branch as well. Being born in Seattle, growing up here and at the same coming from both an African and Arab background is pretty unique, on the other hand being a Muslim and a practicing religious Muslim, was also something fascinating, living in America in this time, where Islamphobia was at its peak. In addition to that, being an individual who is deeply involved in the community, specifically youth affairs at a young age of 17 was very productive I can say. Summing all those qualities and talents, I told myself this will help me achieve a lot of things in the future, being a personally diverse individuals who is both academically and spiritually active and built, and in addition to the a productive young individual for the community was indeed something unique and attractive to schools and jobs in the future.
profession, communities, and in society” (para. 5). I want to continue to broaden my knowledge over the life of my career. I also believe in using this knowledge to positively impact others in all aspects of healthcare.
Over the course of the last 5 months I have experienced many challenges that have presented to me in a wide variety of ways, some of which presented themselves based on my acts of poor judgment, and others I enacted on my own behalf. Throughout this period of time I have set many goals both academic and personal based on my challenges which have allowed me to stay focused and driven to be successful. Having an opportunity for personal reflection I have learned many things about myself and how I function, learn, and perform which as allowed me to grow mentally, personally, and spiritually. I now know and have gained a better understanding for how I think and feel, and how the decisions that I make on a daily basis shape my future. It is important for me to pay attention to how my actions have affected myself and those around me in that past and consider it as I move through life in the future.
“No matter your past, how you are perceived by friends, foe, or family, YOU have the opportunity to make your life as you desire. If you live in a tough and unfair life right now, change you mindset. Don’t think that is all life is or all you are. You can be whatever you want. If your life is as good as it gets, challenge your mindset. Learn to do something MORE, something to grow that person inside.” - Chad Brinkman. For this week’s paper I interview Mr.Brinkman about his transition to principal and his plans for the future.
Ever since my elementary years, I have taken my education and the work I do seriously. My dedication to the qualities of scholarship, character, leadership, and service have helped me during my high school experience as high school was a eye-opener for a young girl with big dreams. A quote that is to mind when I think about what dedication to scholarship and character means to me is one by St. Jerome; “Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best.” I have always gone past the point that is the best I can do in my academics accomplishments, building my character, being a leader, and helping others. I take pride in the fact that I work hard, push myself, and excel
My own experience as a career has developed in many different ways, as I have learned to cope with many different situations and I have had to interact with many different types of people, I believe that this will have helped me in my future career path as I now know how to talk to different age groups, as well as people with different psychical or mental disabilities. All of these different experiences has made me more compassionate, understanding and patient, it also made me realise that not everybody has the same way of thinking as I didn’t always realise, even though I have worked with children, up to elderly people I have had to adapt me skills in order to meet their needs as all individuals are different, and I feel it has made me a better person due to all of the different experiences that I have encountered. It made me realise that I had skills that I didn’t think I had, as before entering the nursery I didn’t think I had any patients, and that kind of thing is needed in this environment, and in the care home and working with older people in Hospice at Home made me realise that you sometimes have to adapt yourself in order to help them, I also discovered
The interests and aptitudes that necessary for research and practise were discordant (Conway, 1988). So, it is unrealistic to train students to be both scientist and practitioner when people enter program with sole intent to be a practitioner and not a researcher (Horn et al., 2007). These people indicated that, the personality traits between researcher and practitioner are differ. For instance, Kelly and Goldberg (1959) found that, experimental psychologist were score high on both curiosity and creativity but low on altruism. However, clinicians were relatively more altruism than average population but low on both curiosity and creativity.
I’ve been molded through countless personal, professional, and academic experiences--into the person that I am today: a curious person, an eager
The purpose of this assignment is that I will be reflecting on my own engagement in professional relationships and establish key skills that underpin lifelong learning. I will also be looking into how to perform evidence-based practice and reflect on my capabilities and weaknesses identified in my SWOT analysis (see appendix 1) and personal development plan (see appendix 2).
The issues of obesity and food deserts are important, and many people have questions about these topics. What makes this important though? To dig even deeper, what are the significant factors of both topics? The answer to the most pressing subject of modern times will now be determined.
With the advancement of technology and of modern societies, the present is currently the golden age of discovery; where information, new and old, are transferred all over the world in an instant. The knowledge we hold are discovered every day, processed, studied, and taught to students. With the vast information we hold, the things taught and learned are also increasing. The vast information we have and the students, are the key to a better future. Society today depends and relies on the new generation, but at a great cost. They push the students mind to the limit, making an army of highly educated students that will benefit society. However, not everyone ends the same way, many are lost and many are not given an opportunity to learn as well. There are students who fail and give up because of too much strain on their minds and bodies. The burden of our future is placed on the shoulders of the students, therefore they should be prioritize above all else.
I will shortly be receiving my Bachelor's Degree in Multidisciplinary Studies with a concentration on business. I will soon leave the world of studies and enter what is commonly referred to as "the real world." While this thought is someone frightening, especially given the current economic situation the nation faces, it is also exciting as well. I believe that crossing this threshold will change the way I view my role in the community, as well as the impact I will have on the community when I graduate. No longer will I see myself as a "child" in society, taking what society has to offer but never thinking of giving back. Instead, I am soon to become a fully fledged member of the community, with responsibilities to the community as a whole.
