My Experience For A Career At Arizona State University

I enrolled at Missouri State University in the spring semester of 2014. I had declared my major in Criminology and Criminal Justice due to my passion for helping others. I have always been a firm believer that everyone deserves help, no matter what situation they may be in. I knew that this field was what I loved learning about, however in the beginning I was not quite sure on what field I wanted to focus on. Nevertheless, after watching a documentary in a class I was enrolled in about the life of a parole officer, I knew this is what my purpose in life should be. After long consideration I determined that Probation and Parole is what I am the most passionate about.

Beginning my career at Western Carolina University, I had no idea the impact writing has on future educators. It is extremely important to have an effective writing strategy in all aspects of teaching. You will be required to write lesson plans, referrals, and letters home to the parents. Each of these have different strategies, and all of these are used simultaneously throughout the school year. Throughout the essay I will explain how to do each of these writings, and also give step by step instructions on an effective way to make sure it is done correctly.

After registering for my major classes, I browsed through the English sections and selected one of the many online options. I usually take a few online courses each semester so my schedule is not too overwhelming and I have time for work and leisure. Although I have struggled with staying on top of my online classes in the past, I am confident that I will be able to keep up with the workload this time around. I am now a senior, and will be a super senior next semester, as I am graduating in the fall due to a transfer and a major change. After attending Radford University for a year, I realized there was more to life than drinking five nights a week and made the decision to transfer to Mason.

My history with Florida A & M University started before I was born. Looking back from day one, my family specifically my mom, cousin and aunts instilled in me what was the definition of a true Rattler. Some have defined a true Rattler as a go getter who stops at nothing to accomplish their goal. Some have defined a true Rattler as a well spoken and confident student attending FAMU. Others, simply would define a true Rattler as a student who has fallen on the hill going to class. Considering these definitions and countless others, I possess the solid qualities for attending Florida A & M University and becoming a true Rattler.

Throughout my education career at Texas A&M there have been a few different significant educators that have peaked my interest. My focus in undergrad was English/Language Arts and Social Studies for middle school, but as I’ve learned more through my graduate degree I’ve become fascinated with the idea of different types of schooling and the lower level grades. For example, I never heard of an open concept classroom until my first graduate course. Once I heard this idea I’ve been researching and looking up alternative education models, such as Montessori, with interest in maybe teaching in this type or another alternative school eventually. In addition, I’ve researched how educators began to create certain “levels” in schooling based on age, and focused in on kindergarten. My very first job in education was with kindergarten and I was always curious to know how this specific “pre-school” level of education was brought into existence. This time in a child’s life is crucial to their success because they are building a foundation for their future career in school, and I want to learn more about it. The following is my research on Maria Montessori and Frederick Froebel, two significant educators with an impact on the field of education in alternative schooling and kindergarten respectively.

During my undergraduate career at Mount Holyoke College, I have taken an array of courses; with topics ranging from GIS to geomorphology to a field course that involves a ten-day trip to Death Valley National Park in California. My multidisciplinary knowledge of the geosciences granted me the privilege to join a research project with a fellow student and her advisor, Professor Alan Werner. Conducted through Harvard Forest, her project assesses the change in stratigraphy within sediment cores in Marblehead, Massachusetts. I am responsible for using her previously gathered XRF-scanner data to determine the paleoclimate immediately following the glacial maximum about 14,000 years ago. I also have access to data showing the core’s magnetic susceptibility and organic matter content. Through the analysis of this data, I hope to determine the levels of chemical elements, associated with a marine setting, that are present in these sediment cores. My primary objective is to determine whether or not this area of Massachusetts is a continuation of the Presumpscot Formation in Maine. From this experience, I have gained knowledge in data analysis and how to write a scientific report describing my findings in the data and what they mean for understanding the paleoclimate of Marblehead, Massachusetts. This kind of skillset is transferrable across all scientific research, and the ability to conduct a research project specific to my interests will allow me to further develop my skills as a

My last blog talked about how this past fall break, I got the chance to go visit Grand Canyon University campus in Phoenix, Arizona. It was a beautiful and sunny campus filled with positive students all around, my kind of a utopia community. I went home hoping I get accepted to the school because I really admire the campus and the opportunities they offer. A few days ago, I got a letter in the mail congratulating me on my acceptance to Grand Canyon University. Their acceptance letter was so pretty and purple! It was a beautiful folder that had the letter and some confetti looking stars inside.

“The glory of God is intelligence.” One motto of the school I have daydreamed about since I was five years old. It was at that age that I first learned about college; one of my cousins had returned from BYU for Christmas break, and gave me a lesson in postsecondary education. Listening with as much attention as a child can muster to her glowing praises of the school, students, and education she was receiving, and the spirit that is present in every aspect of BYU life, I decided right then that someday, I was going to attend BYU. At the time, it was the only college I knew about, but that in no way lessened my conviction that there was no better university in the world. Fast forward several years and I am a freshman in high school, sitting in

On September 24, 2014, I attended the first multicultural event of my graduate career at Florida State University. The Japanese Tea Ceremony was held in the Center for Global Engagement Auditorium from 5-7pm on a Wednesday. Upon entering the auditorium, I was handed a program detailing the ceremony format (Usu-cha Tana-temae). The program had three different types of languages displayed: English, Hiragana/ Katakana and Kanji. Having no prior knowledge of what a tea ceremony entails, I was excited to be a part of the experience.

In the practice of teaching, it is the responsibility of a teacher not only to teach students subject matter, but to teach students in order to enable them to grow and develop as a person. While it is essential for students to have an understanding of academic material, it is also equally as important that when students finish their education they have skills to use in

As a freshman, I know little about Xavier’s campus and I am getting aquatinted with the resources that Xavier provides to students. Becoming a student senator will teach me more about these resources and how to use them to better my academic and spiritual journey as a Xavier student. As I help myself become a better student, I will also be able to introduce Xavier students with the resources because most students don’t know they exist.

I chose to do my undergraduate work at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. Cal Poly was affordable, strong in the sciences and well known for its Learn by Doing philosophy. I received a phenomenal education in science and nutrition helping me feel prepared to begin graduate studies in advanced practice nursing. Prior to Cal Poly, I planned a career in nursing, ultimately deciding that studying nutrition at Cal Poly could provide an excellent foundation. I found nutrition fascinating. During my maternal and child nutrition course my passion surrounding the health and wellness of women, particularly during pregnancy, solidified. I began finding ways to supplement my learning in this direction.

American society values higher education. College provides many opportunities for developing a variety of social networks, both formal and informal. Obtaining a college degree will be such a valuable and

can help one in life. Moreover, as a teacher you become a “stepping stone” for all children that

As someone with extensive computer literacy, I understand the importance of being able to be efficient with the use of computers. Whether it is at school, or at the workplace, the struggles and inefficiency I see people have with computers results in a lot of wasted time and effort. The internet, and computers, play such a giant role in the day-to-day life of human beings that if computers were all wiped out tomorrow, humans would have a very difficult time in adapting to life afterwards. If you do not have the proper computer literacy in 2017, you are at a significant disadvantage to the rest of your peers. In this essay, I will highlight some of the causes of computer illiteracy, its effects on people’s
