Each course within the program has strengthened my skills within the competencies, preparing me enter in higher levels of government. In my learning processes while completing my MPA degree, I have developed a working knowledge of leading and managing with multiple stakeholders, while producing

Learning resources that could be used to further my growth and study such as setting up conference with parents and using my online training that my job provided me to help me on day to day basis since every situation different. I learned that different people have different plans on getting better some takes longer while others get better faster some can perform more things quicker and better while for others it takes time. I’ve learned to evaluate my client assignments by observing their day to day activities, behaviors and

In this experience we had the chance to learn and experience new skills and capabilities. The

I learned that even with the biggest setbacks or just stressful or hard times there is always the possibility of something good coming out of it. If I had not had the concussion I may not have gotten my varsity letter at that meet. Only having three days to practice forced me to have the discipline to put in the work I needed to do. If I had a full week of practice I probably would have just assumed I was ready without working as hard. I learned that I can be a very disciplined person and because of that now I do not always need motivation to be disciplined. As long as I really want a goal, I know I can do what it takes. I learned that setbacks do not prevent you from achieving a goal. You can work past them. Now in similar situations I try not to even think about giving up when things get hard but to just work

This is similar to my experience because it has taken me a long time to get to my goal. In order to be better prepared for a good career comes with sacrifice. I have had to return to

OJ Simpson’s case has become to be known as “the trial of the century,” to this day it has been a topic of discussion to law students and has still been a racial controversy. OJ Simpson is an American football legend, actor, corporate pitchman, and he is extremely wealthy (Linder 1). In 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson, Simpson’s ex-wife, and Ronald Goldman, a waiter and a friend of Nicole’s, were stabbed to death (1). With all eyes on OJ Simpson, the media, current racial controversies, and, most importantly, his wealth were said to have played a part in the finding of his innocence, which was unforeseen by the public, who insisted that he was guilty of the heinous crime.

One of the most famous and publicly known cases of all time is the OJ Simpson murder case. This case was publicly announced for many years. It was very popular because not only was O.J. Simpson a famous former American football star but also an actor that had been accused of a very serious crime that changed his life forever. Although the case was publicly announced, many people don’t know many of the specifics about his early childhood, his athletic career and most importantly about the famous murder trial.

There are several techniques one can use to integrate deliberate practice into their education and career. When it comes to college, or any level of education deliberate practice can help a student fully understand a concept, or learn something new. It involves more than just completing a test or assignment. You have to give it your all, and not just think of it as finishing an assignment and being done with it. To fully integrate this type of learning into your education you have to change your mindset. A lot of students go to class, learn, take notes, and do homework, but plenty do it with the intentions of getting done. They don’t do the homework with the goal of understanding the subject, or ask for

Wade Jones walked home in the middle of a cold, winter New York night. He had a hard day at Jones Financial Corporation, dealing with annoying employees, barking at his door. As he was walking down a lonely street, he saw his old friend, O.J. Derrick. “ Hey, what’s up, young blood. You're coming over here to give me my money from three years ago,” O.J. said. “ Hey, whats up Derrick. I told you last week, that I gave you money a year later. How are you doing,man,” Wade said, with a frown on his face. O.J. has been on drugs for so long that it affected his memory. He doesn’t even remember his 25th birthday. “ I am doing good, Wade. This business man came over here yesterday and gave me money for food,” O.J said.

deliberately focus on developing our skills, then the results will come if we put in the time. It is really at its core, just producing a volume of work in order for us to get the failures out of the way on to extricating the gems.

My second week at the court house was long but eye opening. I learned so much about the criminal justice system. I leaned that each procedure and each role a person play is crucial to someone life. On Tuesday, the day was short but still alarming. I came in and shadow one of the clerks as she was preparing for court. As the clerk was setting up for court I remember trying to recognize which department is what on each traffic ticket. I felt confuse, but the clerk show who was trooper, SUNY New Paltz police, and state police/ She remind that I will eventually learn who is who and how to set up for court. I felt better about what she said and I was ready for court. I notice that court will be short today because we did not have many cases. I began

At these times, in compound business environment and growing competition, to be able to compete on the job market you need to possess outstanding skills and be always a step ahead of others. Being a good learner and constantly developing one’s

First off, who I am as a learner has changed over the past years. At times before, I wouldn’t take certain classes or assignments seriously and have learned my lessons when I failed. I believe having classmates at the time who weren’t as focused as I wanted to be, played a big role in my lack of understanding in classes. I understood later that if I felt learning was so important to me, I need to realize that it is my future and I needed to focus on my own. Having learner in my top 5 strengths defines me very well. Rath (2007) explains that, “The process, more than the content or the result, is especially exciting for you” (p.133). I believe this defines me as a learner because I enjoy having books in hand, opening up my notebook to write notes and learning new ways to understand the class. Regardless if the content is something I have to get in to or if I don’t do well on tests, I enjoy the process of studying and learning more even when I know I didn’t do so well; that is what motivates me. I believe as long as I keep this mindset and understand that this is my strength, I will continue to grow and further my education as much as possible. Even though I have failed a few of my last classes, I never let that stop me from continuing. Knowing that I have “failed” makes me realize I know I can do better and I try my hardest not to let it get me down. I will not get further if I don’t keep trying and as a learner I am a motivator to myself in my studies.

Good hard work goes a long way. From playing the piano I have learned that hard work can help you improve. When I am practicing I have to make sure that I put all of my effort into it or else I won’t be doing the best I can and learning from that. Thus I have to remember this so when something comes around I can work hard and do it right. This method will stick with me forever because anything that is worth doing is worth doing it right. I have used this throughout all of my life for school projects and when I practiced piano I can and will use this in school as I get older so that I can get good grades and get into a good college to extend my knowledge furthermore. Therefor when I am practicing I have to be careful to keep my mind

I do not want to ever stop learning new skills to be successful. At the beginning of this course the skills I needed to learn were to be positive, consistent, and having self-management. I still need to work on these, but I have found myself being a lot more positive, consistent, and improving my self-management. I have learned to be more positive and not dwell on my
