It is now March and I have been at my internship for two months and I cannot begin to discuss how much information that I have obtained. Every day I learn something new or a new tactic of tackling an issue with a client. I truly feel that everything that I have learned I can apply to functional practice. The GIM model allow me to gain knowledge on a client and together we can find a way to aid the situation. I am literally looking onto someone’s life and assessing issues that are taking place in
value in education comes in different forms. For example, students like DeAndre valued education but didn’t think the education he was receiving was the best approach for him. It may appear the DeAndre was uninterested in learning but in reality he was interested in learning things that could help and resonated with his cultural history. I was enlightened by the way this article helped to highlight different types of students in a positive light. I resonate with this article because I went to a
(or lack thereof) are a contentious issue to discuss, not just in this country but around the world. I am a pro-choice person because I feel that women should have the right to decide what to do with their bodies; equal rights, just like men are able to decide what to do with their own bodies. I have always come from a scientific background both in terms of overall thinking/rationale and in education. To me, the pro-life argument that life begins at conception makes no sense to me. A fertilized egg/fetus
As I have had the opportunity to meet with kids from other countries, I realize the importance of the freedoms we have in the United States. I am proud to know that I live in a country where we not only recognize these freedoms, but feel a responsibility to help defend those who are persecuted around the world. I truly believe that our freedoms being upheld is important to my generation not only in America, but everywhere. I realize our distinct freedoms we have as Americans play a key role in
My Personal Philosophy of Education Education is the key to a successful and fulfilling life. The purpose is to give each child an equal opportunity to achieve his or her goals. I believe that the overall purpose of education is to prepare for the future. Education is so important to one’s life that educators cannot merely teach in one manner. To truly teach someone you must dig until you find a way for him or her to completely understand. That’s why I think that teaching is going to
I have always been told that going to college is the opportunity of a lifetime. It seems as if an infinite number of moments have gone into preparing for college. Right when it felt like those moments would continue on forever, I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and the college process began. As I began to search, and seek God's will for my future, I was forced to ask myself: what is it I truly hope to gain from the college experience? Ultimately I decided that as a college student I hope
their bags and saying their final goodbyes. I sat on the top deck watching until the horn sounded for the last time and it finally dawned on me; time to go back to reality. I collected my belongings and was soon on a plane back to Minnesota. I had just completed a 3 month long voyage spanning across 10 countries as a student on Semester at Sea (SAS). Throughout the semester I had been exposed to more cultural diversity than I had ever encountered. It was truly the experience of a lifetime. Memories such
psychological distress than non-Hispanic Whites, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Services ("Black Folks and Mental Health:Why Do We Suffer in Silence? - Wellness & Empowerment - EBONY," n.d.). As I stated in my decision question I believe this is due to the stigma associated with mental illness and the labels that are attached to mental, because no one want to be considered “crazy”. Also, the African American culture has a history of being deeply spiritual and
As I arrange this reflective analysis paper on topics that relate to a foundational course and specifically searching for the modules that have given me the most information, taught me something new or expanded my knowledge on a specific topic of reading, I have come to realize how far I have come since I began this adventure. I began these courses after graduating from Marshall with my bachelors. I chose this path because of my love for reading and teaching reading. I have come to realize that these
give some baseline information about myself. I am a white, middle-class, educated, mid-western, Christian female athlete. I come from a traditional family with a mother, father, one brother, and two sisters. Taking those characteristics into account, I would say that I am a privileged member of society, and being privileged has been part of my culture. In addition, the largest influences on my life and worldview were my family, school, church, and the area I grew up. First of all, being in a white,
