Nt1310 Unit 1 Assignment

A good friend of mine had recently moved into this house in May 2015, she told me in the first day that she and her boyfriend had stopped by the house to do a walk thru before moving their thing over.(The house sat empty for a year and a half before they moved in).

2a. Habituation is when the response to a certain stimuli decrease when it becomes frequent. For example, when I first moved into my apartment I would always hear the train at nighttime and it would keep me up or wake me up when it would start passing by. After a month or so, my body stopped responding to the train blowing its horn when it would pass. It is an appropriate example because after I became habituated to the sound, I started getting more sleep and more sleep meant a restful night to recharge for the next day.

Melissa is driving through her neighborhood, talking on a cell phone. Because she is distracted, she missed the new stop sign that was put in at an intersection. A police officer sees this and promptly pulls her over. When asked why she didn’t stop at the stop sign, Melissa replies that she didn’t see the sign. Melissa most likely did see the sign, her brain just didn’t process it correctly.

I face a number of unusual personal expenses that make it difficult for my family to contribute to the cost of my education. Unfortunately, I along with my two other siblings and mother have been diagnosed with a variety of autoimmune diseases. I have been diagnosed with Type One Juvenile Diabetes, my middle sister has been diagnosed Vitiligo, my youngest sister has a form of Uveitis, and my mother has been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. In order to treat our respective diseases we need to take the prescribed medications that are each very costly and do not have a generic brand available on the pharmaceutical market. The treatment of my, my siblings, and mother’s collective diseases is financially heavy on our family, and it makes it

Before I start this application, lemme classify some few things. My name is Bryan and I am 14. I have been on this server for a long time, and I feel that its time for me to move on. I have been wanting to apply since last year. I stopped posting applications since "February" or so (2015). I felt that I've changed a lot in my life and have proven myself enough that I have courage, kindness, respect and strength to do such abilities. I have learnt all my mistakes i did. (Such as: Lying of Age, etc) And i really hope that you all believed me that i changed.

As an Arab immigrant who was raised in the United States since he was seven years old, who lived in Michigan seeing Arabs everyday and never felt like he was in a foreign country; and moving to NYC in 2015, changed the whole style of my life. NYC the tremendous city that I couldn’t find the people that I knew and that I understood nor those that understands me because of our massive cultural differences, and believes. The biggest problem is when I started school in NYC. The school system was different because in NYC they had regents, also their credit requirements were different, for that I was behind in credits and didn’t know what was the regents. Also, I came to school almost at the end of the First marking period of the second semester of freshman year.

Before starting my day, I usually put on a earphone and press “shuffle play” on my Throwback playlist on my Spotify account. The most recent five songs that I have listened to before writing this assignment was You Rock My World - With intro by Michael Jackson, Baby, I’m Back by Baby Bash, Just The Two Of Us by Grover Washington, Charlene by Anthony Hamilton, and Show Me The Way by Earth Wind & Fire. Interestingly I have never heard these songs until last year because I was only exposed to music that was on the radio station such as 94.9 or 106.1 where newest and trending songs were played most often. Since three of those songs were produced in early 2000’s and the other two produced between the 1970s and 1980s, I was never able to come across

While sitting at my desk in a classroom overflowing with colorful decorations, my 1st grade classmates and I were taught how to add and subtract. At that moment, I had no idea that numbers would soon become one of the biggest factors in my life. Before I knew it, my journey as a number on a sheet of paper began. From third grade to my senior year of high school, I have been tested in every way, shape, and form and compared to kids all around the country. My test scores decided if I was able to move on to the next grade, what classes I took, and will soon factor into what college I will be attending. Those numbers have seemingly been the determinant in how successful I have been academically and how successful I am expected to be. Numbers even

This can mean for a teacher to learn where the student(s) is coming from and then do research on that area. By doing this, it will provide some basic background information into the child’s spoken language, culture and beliefs. After the teacher knows a little more about the child, they can then make adjustments to their assessments according to the child’s language, culture and beliefs. If the teacher is still unsure, I would ask another teacher who might have had a student from the same area.

We are creating a car seat addition that will change the car seat industry. It will protect the children from creating a mess on the car seat buckles and themselves. It will help decrease the chances of getting a button malfunction due to liquids or materials getting within the car seat buckles. Our goals are just to create this product and enhance the car seats, which will give the parents a satisfaction knowing that the car seats are not being destroyed by the substances, and materials that the child spills. We also want to make this product sold around the U.S but hope to at least sell the product globally. I believe that our three stakeholders will be reasonable. The stakeholders will be the owners, the suppliers and the employees. Our

After completing this assignment, I feel as though the way I think and my outlook on certain things has changed in small, yet significant ways. For example, one of the most interesting myths, myth 28 (There’s Safety in Numbers), has changed the way I will react in situations of emergency. Having the awareness of the tendency to ignore someone in need when in a crowd will help me to overcome that tendency and actually help. I also found myths 15 (IQ Tests Are Biased against Certain Groups of People) and 20 (Researchers Have Demonstrated That Dreams Possess Symbolic Meaning) very interesting. I held some belief that dreams meant something more than just the random occurrences we see, so knowing they hold no insight into our minds and psyches makes me feel less distrait. As for myth 15, I simply found it amazing that so many people would rather blame the IQ tests for the inconsistencies in scores, rather than look deeper and take responsibility for the social disadvantages and prejudices against groups.

When I first started working on my concentration, I planned on exploring the relationship between people and technology. As the exam date was steadily approaching, I only had a couple of pieces completed, so time was of the essence. However, I was notified by my teacher that I wasn’t allowed to use two of the pieces I created because the school district deemed them ‘not appropriate for a high school level portfolio’ and she could get into trouble, or even fired, if I included them in my portfolio. As a student, I was conflicted because I loved the art that I created, but I also love my teacher and I would never want her to get into trouble because my actions. So, I decided to change my concentration with a week left before the exam date. Each

Recently, a 15-year-old boy’s mom asked me to meet her son. I decided to use this case as this week’s project. This boy is a 10th grade, average B student. He doesn’t have much interest with clubs and sports but spends many hours playing video games. He knows he will go to college but has no clear direction about major. His mom worries and wants him to meet me. My goal for the meetings would be finding his interest area and choose possible majors for him. Hopefully he will have a clearer goal and being more focused.

My father is a senior design hardware engineer, and consequently he works with many software engineers. For an eighth grade project, I interviewed one of my father’s coworkers, where I learn some of the kinds of projects that software engineers work on. I wanted to get a feel for programming to see if I would like it, which is why when I was a sophomore in high school, I enrolled in an online coding course called introduction to computer science.

Taking the uniquely you assessment online I learned that I was an inspirational specialist I/S and what is expected of me is steady influencers S/I (Carbonell, 2013). When people are around me they think of me as a people person by inspiring others but actually, I’m relaxed and reserved and people come to me for inspiration. By me being a relaxed casual person I attend to stay away from conflict or get it solved right away because I do not like being an emotional person. I also thought it was something bad but I have learned over the years that conflict can be very beneficial and a learning tool. Being in several leadership positions I have dealt with a lot of conflicts but due to avoiding conflict as much as possible I missed out on a lot
