My Reflection On My Experience

One of my personal experiences that I had was when my family decided to move from New Jersey to Florida. I never planned on moving with them but my mother basically forced me into moving with them. It wasn’t really all that moving stuff because the new house was actually pretty nice, it was just I had all my friends there and I was doing well in school. Nothing I said convinced my mother so after a week of packing we was off to Florida. The first week being there was a horrible week. Nothing was going right for me, I missed the school bus for a whole week, dropped my milk on my new shoes, and tripped over nothing in lunch. It was just trying to move back but parents always have this life lesson speech about trying to make new friends and try to get used to being here until we move again. It’s been about a month since we moved to Florida and I met about zero friends but I got used to living here since I’ve found something that interested me as an after school hobby and that was fishing. There’s barley any lakes or ponds in New Jersey so fishing wasn’t really something you do as a time waster. I usually fished right after I got home but on that day it was rainy and it wasn’t really a good time to fish so I just decided to practice my free shots until it started raining hard. I think I was outside for about 20minutes and suddenly a couple kids from my new school asked if they can shoot

In Jan Wong’s entrancing expose Red China Blues, she details her plight to take part in a system of “harmony and perfection” (12) that was Maoist China. Wong discloses her trials and tribulations over a course of three decades that sees her searching for her roots and her transformation of ideologies that span over two distinctive forms of Communist governments. This tale is so enticing in due part to the events the author encountered that radically changed her very existence and more importantly, her personal quest for self-discovery.

Within Sports Coaching Literature, it has been established that reflection is a generic term for intellectual and effective activities, in which individuals examine their experiences, in order to develop new understanding and intrapersonal appreciation (Knowles, et al., 2006). Research in this field has advocated reflective practice as an approach to professional development which positively impacts coaching effectiveness (Cropley, et al., 2012). This reflective report shall discuss, analyse and evaluate my own personal development throughout my first semester spent studying at UCFB, in order to develop new understanding and intrapersonal appreciation, and help explore my decisions and experiences, increasing understanding of

Since the beginning of time, ethics and standards have been passed down from generation to generation. China has been a country that has always implemented strategies to contain and protect this energy into a systematic process. In doing so, their Chinese heritage was protected and passed along, creating a strong culture. We know China as having pretty colors and dancing dragons, and visit these cultural microcosms in their restaurants built in the United States. We crack open our cookie revealing our fortunes, disregarding the fundamental background of the restaurant we sit in. We may appreciate the taste and service of the restaurant, but don’t think about the dish’s symbolic nature.

With a gross domestic product (GDP) calculated at the equivalent of $11.06 trillion and an average growth rate of 1.84 percent, China has the potential to surpass the United States' economy by the year 2030 (citation 1). China's rapid GDP growth is caused mainly by state investment, high exportation, and successes with e-commerce (citation 2). However, China was not always a country eager to open its doors to economic opportunity. Instead, the government strove to maintain self-dependency and to limit influence from other countries. Through the decades of isolation, many countries attempted to gain trade relations with China. These attempts usually were unsuccessful. It wasn't until the late twentieth century until China began forming the economic

‘Unsavory Elements,’ a new book edited and partly written by Tom Carter, investigates the experiences of 28 foreigners ‘on the loose’ in the People’s Republic of China. A traveler and photographer, Mr Carter mixes well known names, true heavyweights and more anonymous observers of Chinese lives whose tales are connected by one single element: being an outsider in the former Middle Kingdom.

My educational experience is one amazing thing I would never forget. My parents gave me an experience of a lifetime that I would never let go and continue to expand. It was a gift of a great education I could have tossed away but instead I took advantage of it and it expanded my intellect and made me more independent. As a young girl my parents always told me, they wanted a great educational experience for me. They said no matter what it took to get me into good schools, to have a great education they will do it. My parents worked very hard to give me the opportunity to be in private school my whole life since pre-school. They always told me to work hard, be bright and be bold. The educational level I had being in private school my whole life was amazing. What was amazing about my education level is that I was able to take all college prep. classes, I took an AP Spanish class, my teachers were always on top of us to hand in work in time, essays in my English class were based on a college level writing. It was amazing because my school expanded my mind more on a college based level.

The Roaring Dragon Hotel (RDH) was a state owned Enterprise (SOE) and was also one of the three-star hotels in south-west China. It had a great reputation as “the region’s premium guesthouse”. Employees of the hotel are usually transferred from other SOEs and government departments based on their strong connections or guanxi. (Grainger, 2008, p.1).

During my time during my Education 2130 class, I got to get actual experience in the field as part of my grade in the class. Instead of getting my hours at one of the three places we were given an option to, I requested to do my hours at my job where I work one on one with kids all day long. It was great to be able to get my hours somewhere that I was acquainted with and somewhere that I knew the kids. In my paper, I will go into detail about my field site and talk about what kind of school it was and what role that played in what I learned there. In the next section, I will discuss the how my field experience related back to Education 2130 and how the material we learned this semester stuck out in terms of being in the field.

China’s accession to the WTO in 2001 has helped shape its economy to becoming a more predictable environment for trade and foreign investment. Corporate governance and frameworks for business operations and interactions have improved, providing a much more transparent environment. (Deckers, 2004)

Beginning the writing process, I established for myself a mental roadmap. I asked myself what I was trying to say, and what the goal or intent of the writing would be. Was I attempting to persuade my readers, or to be didactic instead? I considered the "how" part of the equation later, and honed each sentence word for word. The how part of the writing process was relatively simple compared to the question of what to say, and why. I had to imbue the paper with social commentary, for there was much to say about these readings.

Site visits were conducted to Gansu and Guangdong province and the main focus of these two visits were to basically witness and analyze development in China from two perspectives i.e. from a well developed province like Guangdong and a poor province like Gansu.

Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic of China; Beijing is the nation's political, economic, and cultural center. Meanwhile, as one of the six ancient cities in China, Beijing has been the heart and soul of politics throughout its long history and consequently there is an unparalleled wealth of discovery to delight and intrigue travelers as they explore the city's ancient past and exciting modern development. Now it has become one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, with about 140 million Chinese tourists and 4.4 million international visitors in a year. As a Chinese, Beijing should be the first place where you should plan to visit. Besides, a sea of delicious food, such as Beijing Roast Duck, Mongolian Hot Pot and so on, and remarkable and grand scenic spots, like Badaling Great Wall and The Summer Palace. Next, I will introduce in detail.

Wow, I seem to be taken aback by that last one. That question, that you just asked, it took me to a place that I haven 't been to in a very long time. Believe it or not, it has struck me into sudden astonishment. See, for the first time today the world around me has frozen, and I find myself reflecting on such a question. I understand the root of your interest, however my mind is still baffled. You asked me what it 's like to be mixed in America. You want to know how my eyes view the world with their uniquely, blended filters.
