Introspection Experience And Personal Statement Analysis

The date of the offense was July 19, 2014. It was a night full of mistakes and bad decisions, which I will never make again. The charges that I have been cited with are 1 Class B Misdemeanor (Driving under the Influence), 1 Class B Misdemeanor (Unlawful Consumption), 1 Class B Misdemeanor (Possession of Paraphernalia), 1 Class B Misdemeanor (Possession of Marijuana) and 1 Third Degree Felony (Possession). Since that night I distanced the people who were bringing me down in life and they ended up dropping out of my life as they only wanted to bring me down and I would not allow that any longer. Since the night of the arrest I have not participated in taking any narcotics or any illegal substances since. I have been extremely focused on my work and making

John M. Barry's Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How It Changed America, takes us back 70 years to a society that most of us would hardly recognize.

Booker T. Washington’s approach to fighting for equality was not the approach that the post-reconstruction era needed. Of course, his fight for equality was not a fight at all, but a compliance to southern whites in exchange for the rights he saw most important. On September 18th, 1895, Washington delivered the Speech to the Atlanta Cotton States and International Exposition. His main point: “Cast down your buckets where you are!”(American Public Media) was a comfort for the white southern conservative audience. Washington preached that black Americans have to settle and receive only some of their God-given rights.

I am not a professional writer, but I am a writer with sufficient imagination and positive attitudes. Through last two-semester-writing training, I understand the basic requirements of academic writing, such as the format, the citation and so forth. However, there is still an extensive space for me to improve my skills in both reading and writing. As a reader, I enjoy appreciating masterpieces and I am good at thinking through reading, but sometimes either cultural shock or linguistic barriers limit my reading speed and reduce my interests.

Ever since I was young and herd about the mission trips at my church, I have had the constant desire to take part of at least one. I am very blessed to have gone on three mission trips so far, one each summer for the past three years. The summers before I entered my freshman and sophomore years, I was able to serve with an organization called Appalachia Service Project (ASP), whose statement is to “make homes warmer, safer and dryer.” I worked on homes and with families in Tennessee as well as West Virginia. Through giving my time to help give Sherri, an elderly woman, a deck to safely exit her mobile home, as well as repairing Mary and Allan’s rotted siding, I learned many home improvement skills that will be useful for me in the future.

Growing up as the son of a rural Iowa veterinarian, I got my first experience in a medical field while riding along with my dad on calls, and from an early age my interest was piqued. It was the first of multiple experiences that pointed me toward a career in physical therapy.

I’m writing to express my enthusiasm in applying for the ________position. This position interests me because it allows the opportunity to maximize performance, inspire and instill a sense of self-worth among all students.

The two weeks I tracked were November 6th through the 19th. I chose those days because I was paid on the 6th, and I wouldn’t be paid again until the 20th. By choosing those dates, I was able to see how much I spent from that paycheck and how much left over I actually had. I liked being able to see how much of my paycheck was left over by the time I was paid again. I use that extra money for a buffer in case there is something I have to spend a little extra money on, and so I always have money in my bank account.

My family and friends would describe me as helpful, fun, and energetic. Life outside of school is pretty hectic working fulltime Tuesday through Saturday working as a department manager for Walmart. My job outside of work takes up most of my past time therefore fun does not happen to often for myself but when I do get a chance to lay back and have fun I enjoy shooting pool with my friends. I am most proud of my military accomplishments.my greatest fear is that I will not be able to get back into the military and therefore not be able to provide for my family.

I was born on May 14, 1994 in Houston, Texas. When I was born, I was premature, as I was delivered 6 weeks early. I weighed four pounds and was considered a miracle baby because my lungs were completely developed, which is unusual for babies born early. I stayed in the ICU in an incubator for 16 days, until my parents were allowed to take me home.

I learned from the high school class I taught that two people can be looking at the same thing but each see something very different. The teacher (me) was white, privileged, and coddled throughout my suburban childhood and adolescence. Most students in my class were black or brown, poor, and grew up mostly on their own, living on the unforgiving urban street. They opened my eyes (often against my will and certainly against my “druthers”) to their alternative society. I learned that this hidden society exists unseen and mostly ignored within the larger normal American society of laws, schools, careers, and families; it comes to the attention of general society’s gatekeepers only at points of conflict. I tried as best as a newly minted

As the first five weeks of Writing 39B have passed, I believe that I have made some improvements in my writing as a result of the feedback from the professor, the multiple writing assignments, and reading the Anteater’s Guide to Writing and Rhetoric. Although I can still improve in all facets of my writing, the progress I have made so far was very much needed.

While I have faced a multitude of challenges, one of the most impactful ones by far has been my experience with physics. Though I had already taken a physics course at my former high school and performed well, the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics (NCSSM) requires at least two additional trimesters of physics to graduate. So, in the fall of 2015, I began taking my new physics course. While physics in general may be a challenging subject to many, the physics courses taught at NCSSM are often on the more extreme end of the difficulty scale. Because of this, I was consistently on the verge of failing throughout the majority of my first trimester in physics, and I was hovering just above a failing grade of D when midterm reports were released. After holding multiple conversations with various school faculty, including my academic advisor, counselor and physics teacher, I began to understand the consequences of receiving a

You all must be asking yourselves the following: What does Kevin’s eligibility for Special Education Services have to do with his cultural identity? Specifically how growing up in a Latino household helped him construct his educational philosophies. Think about it: Today, I would not be determined to become the great, successful, caring, loving, firm, and knowledgeable teacher that I am destined to become if it were not for my academic struggles that occurred early on in my educational career. In fact, I find it pivotal for current and future teachers to realize and understand that his or her life and educational experiences are valuable and meaningful, especially since it can be used to make a difference in the lives of his or her students—the future of this great diverse nation. Today, I am certain that my calling is to transform my negative educational experiences, specifically my primary school years experiences into positive and life-changing teachable moments in my future elementary classroom.
