My Summer Program Analysis

This past fall semester, I was accepted into the Freshman Research Initiative (FRI), a program that gives undergraduate students the opportunity to gain experience in scientific research. In the spring, FRI students are placed into labs where they conduct research alongside mentors and a research educator. Although the type of research that is conducted in FRI differs greatly from the research carried out in IRG, the process by which research is conducted is largely the same: questions are asked, preexisting knowledge on the topic is searched for, and further research is carried out. Additionally, reading and writing skills are essential components of being a researcher in the sciences. Ensuring that I can understand the material, as well as

For the past nine years I have been involved in a program called Jamestown Community Center, an after school enrichment program serving kindergarten through eighth grade students. I started out as a student in the program and became a teacher assistant as a highschool student. What got me into becoming a teacher assistant was seeing other high school teacher assistants be able to be strict with us, but at the same time be our friends. I admired their maturity at such a young age, and noticed how Jamestown was very supportive with each of the teacher assistants. Last year, I was assigned to be the teacher assistant to a first grade class who had just gotten a new teacher. I advised her to give the kids tasks in order to get the students to get

As a well-rounded student, the RWU Honors Program appeals to me both academically and socially. Through hands-on experience, collaboration with others, and overcoming challenges, students like me find a way to face the world directly and accept the challenges that lay in front of them. Rich with history and tradition, Roger Williams puts their students in the forefront, expecting them to take on all the resources the institution has to offer.

A military style summer educational school grants a controlled educational directed program that demonstrates to teenagers the industry standards to settle on better choices, test their physical and mental purposes of repression, and exemplify the estimations of appreciation, honor, and poise. The choices consolidate everything from military establishments to camps for teenagers at peril and preparing camp summer programs.

I’ve always loved children and helping to care for them, and the opportunity to be a teaching assistant in SMIC’s annual summer camp in 2013 was perfect for me. I’ve always loved babysitting, but actually being able to teach seemed fun and different. For two weeks of July, along with the teacher I was assigned to, I helped teach basic English to eight year-olds from local Chinese schools. Although they could be rowdy or annoying at times, I grew fond of these kids and they of me. I learned to be patient with these children and not get irritated at what I thought were simple words or phrases. I discovered that teaching younger children was not only about teaching them the content in their textbooks, but also caring for them and helping them grow mentally. Situations like breaking up

As a middle child I learned patience, kindness, independence, teamwork; determination and many more that have molded my personality and influenced the way I want to educate children. As a teaching assistant at a local day camp I united all those traits into my work. During the second week of camp, a new boy had started and was hesitant to get involved so I decided to be his buddy for the day. I showed him the routine, modeled activities, and was patient at times when he became frustrated. The bond that I had formed with the student in such a short time was remarkable. Whenever the student walked into the room he smiled when he found me, confided and needed comfort from me when he was sad, and charmed me when we were outside. At the end of his

Throughout the years I feel that I’ve had a number of valuable experiences, my most significant experience is my volunteering experience at Children’s Hospital Colorado. I still remember feeling utterly terrified on my first day volunteering, pondering all the possible ways things could go wrong. I suddenly felt as though I have never experienced this before. I was on my own, responsible for myself and all of my actions.

Eli Lilly and Company is a predominant leader in its field due to its innovative technologies and processes, which have contributed to its world-class systems and developments. Furthermore, Lilly’s commitment to make life better for people around the world reveals the compassionate and caring nature of the company. The Summer Replacement Program is an incredible experience for students to gain hands-on experience while working in a world-renowned company. As a current freshman at Purdue University studying engineering within the Honors College, I am interested in taking part in this program for the summer.

Even though I was their teacher, the kids and their families taught me just as much as I taught them. They connected me to peoples of the world that I had never considered myself to have any relation to. They illuminated how important it is to be aware of geopolitical situations around the world, because those circumstances affect my local community. They prepared me to engage in discussions with my peers about

After seeing the smiles that seemed almost permanent that week, I realized how important it is to work with and help younger children. I also learned what it’s like knowing that you’ve made a difference in someone’s life. I’ve been a counselor at that same camp for two more years since that first summer, and it gets better every time. Even though it can be difficult and frustrating to work with children sometimes, the reward that you, as well as the children, receive is well worth the effort.

Now, in program management, my technical skills have allowed me to quickly grasp concepts and I am constantly improving my soft skills through management of varying teams to improve our products. However, I find I am not as knowledgeable when discussing future market strategies, management structures, or best leadership

We had been fighting to keep our state championship title, so not all moments of it were as simple as a walk in the park. The heat was unbearable. Shoes stuck to the scalding tar, left behind for the scrambling students to quickly retrieve. The bright red freshman would wish he had packed sunscreen when he saw the heat waves on the other side of the field. The week was rewarding though, and I will remember how I helped others advance in music as well as social skills. We laughed until our stomachs ached with close friends, we worked harder than ever before, and we did what we loved. There was a freshman that could not pick up on marching like the rest of her classmates. One could see the look of frustration in her eyes as she stepped off late or stumbled around like her feet were made of lead. As the year progressed, I began to work with her. I learned tremendous amounts of leadership skills as I helped her remember how to step off in time, or how to march correctly. It was not only a learning experience for her, but for me as

When I was in 7th grade, there was an unbelievable program offered at our school called C5. The five-year program was to teach young, potential but economically-unstable people how to become more independent and how to become an exceptional leader. In order to get accepted, I filled out an application, gained teacher recommendations, wrote an essay about an adversity I overcame and went to an interview. This vigorous process took over three months, and I was restless and eager for their answer. When I received my application form in the mail, I roared louder than an airplane and sprinted around the house thousands of times. Needless to say, I was ecstatic as I thought that the program would transform my life forever, academically and personally. One part of the C5 program includes a 26-day summer camp in the lush green mountains of northwestern Georgia. When the time came, I was ready to go on an adventure.

For this semester, my main goal is to just study harder for all of my classes than I did for the previous semester. I may have maintained good grades in the previous semester, but I just want to push myself harder and dedicate myself into school than I did before. Since my major is Nursing, it is really important that I work the best of my ability to do well in school so I can make it to the nursing program here at CSU Stanislaus. Now that I have gotten a taste of what college is like and how harder it is going to be as my time here at this university progresses, I want to do everything in my power to study hard and make it all worthwhile in the end. When I think about college, I also think about money. My parents are spending so much money

I now know that I enjoy being around kids. The best part, that I found while working with them, was the smiles and hugs after they did well with their performance or the amount of kids, that I would not have normally interacted with, that came up to me and started a conversation. I also learned that it took a lot of concentration and multitasking. I observed that some girls needed more instructions while others figured it out by themselves. I noticed the differences of each of the girls and found ways to adapt around it and incorporated it as much as I could.
