My Experience At Lakeland Community College

In my first reflection, I elaborated on my personal goals in relation to my experiences at Spelman College. I spoke about how those experiences have influenced my goals. Since then my goals have not changed, however I have become more determined to reach those goals. My overall determination stems from the fact that I am surrounded by a vast group of intelligent and talented women. My Spelman sisters push me to reach greater heights, and they encourage me to not just be mediocre. Therefore, the consistency of my goals, my influences to acquire my goals, and my aspiration to achieve my goals all contribute to my success at Spelman College thus far.

Throughout the semester there were various aspects of communication that I felt applied to me. It was not, however, until the latter half of the semester that I experienced my greatest revelation regarding my abilities as a communicator. While studying the 12th chapter in the textbook, Interplay The Process of Interpersonal Communication, I learned

Getting the ability to interview one of my past teachers was an awesome experience. I had the luxury of talking to one of my former high school teachers and Student Council advisor Tessa Gargano. We have a great reputation together and basically know each other like the backs of our hands.

My main reasons for wanting to attend Lakeland would have to be that it is close to home, my cousin is attending and has told me many great things about the wide option of classes and opportunities, and to further educate myself on computer science as a whole before picking what part of it I would like to make a career out of. As of the time being, my future career goal is to become either a network administrator or a computer engineer. I love working with my hands and prefer this much more than any sort of computer coding. Another very important goal for me, is to improve my overall knowledge of computers, I find them simply fascinating. Something as simple as sending an application for scholarships that used to take days to week to get delivered,

The big question that is asked when going to a college is why do you choose our college. Well let me tell you. There are thousands of colleges to choose from and I decide on Lake Land College, because they have the program I want to eventually be in. They are affordable and they are always willing to help you with any problems you have.

The Newhouse Professional Gallery boasts alumni who have shaped Newhouse’s reputation as a premier school for communications. Of the 123 featured alumni, only 37 of them are women - I marked each with a pink star to make it easier to see. In the most recent induction, 13 of the 40 alumni are women. This proves a growing number of women entering and receiving recognition in various communications fields, but also illustrates how communications used to be a “boys club.”

My previous work experience as reporter for my school's paper, Tiger’s Roar have provided me with a strong base of communication knowledge and helped me learn how

The truest transformation from under-the-radar student to confident public speaker was really due to a renewed passion for learning. The proximity to like minded students who were dedicated to school and community reignited my love of learning and of helping others to learn. I pursued a leadership position in a math tutoring program on campus, and designed lessons on the environment

Througout my academic career, I have learned as much about myself as I have learned in school, whether it be from high school, to community college, and my journey that lead me to Arizona State University. I can honestly say as my parents did, that I wish I would’ve tried harder in high school. I scraped by taking the easiest classes possible and choosing to take the easy way out. Looking at my transcript makes me cringe, because I know that I am capable of so much more. I wish that I would’ve taken the honor classes and tried so that I would’ve been able to apply to a college other than a community college. My time at Mohave Community College was a significant improvement from my experience in high school. Not only did I graduate with near honors (3.49), I had made the Dean’s list and Honors List for three out of my four semesters, the first time this had happened since middle school. I had never felt more motivated and focused in my life. I was taking 16 credits and prospering and had a balance of work, school, and a social life. I had never felt more proud of my self in my life. As I sit here and write this paper, I question my time here at ASU as I try to plan the nex chapter of my life. I wonder where I am supposed to go and what I am supposed to do.School for the first time had become a priority, however, it began to consume my life. I would spend hours and hours on end doing homework and studying, and although there seems to be nothing wrong with this, I wouldn’t go

As I implied earlier, I had to resign from Miami-Dade College because I realized that I could not successfully complete my studies and hours of placement while working six days a week. For that reason, I applied for the care support specialist position at Better way of Miami. Now that I have completed my studies my goal is to go into the field of my interest which social work practice.

Ms. Patton graduated from the University of California, Davis, with an academic citation from the Communications Department for her exemplary academic performance. She was also a member of the

Every aspect of my enrollment at Rich Mountain Community College has been phenomenal. The professors and tutoring staff have been so patient and kind with me these last three semesters. To limit my wonderful experiences to just one is quite challenging. Through much reflection, I would have to say that receiving my mid-term grade in College Algebra is the most exciting and momentous experience so far.

I recognised in my first communication reflection in year one that it is a complicated and sometimes difficult activity, that requires the use of active listening skills, and an understanding of the content of what is being relayed, it gives and seeks information, as well as expressing emotions and attitudes, (Hinchliff, 2009).

Over this summer course I have learned a lot about communication. I learned how significant nonverbal and verbal communication is, along with listening. I never fully understood how big communication is in our daily lives. I now realize that it is a huge aspect of how we continue in our lives. This course has showed me different levels of communication.

My education in applied communication has given me the unsurpassed platform to start this program and field choice because it has allowed me to study the communication field through a larger scope; while this program in mediated and mass communication will narrow down and specialize my training for an exciting and rewarding
