All my life I took things for granted. I had a loving family, a house, a nice warm bed, food, and so many more things that made my life complete. I never thought about not having these things because it never really acoored to me. Until one summer when I went on a mission trip to Memphis, Tennessee. Mission work has always been an important aspect of my life. It has made me experience new things and meet new people. But at this one particular mission trip I had the opportunity to encounter a little girl name Sarah. This encounter has influenced me to see things differently and not to take little things for granted. The summer program that my youth group was assigned to was called MAM (Memphis Athletic Ministry). This program is there to allow kids from broken homes to get away to play games, talk, and learn more about the Bible. When my group got there all the kids were in the gym playing. All the kids were screaming and having themselves a good time. However, there was this little girl sitting on the side lines alone watching the kids play. I went over and introduced myself and she told me her name was Sarah. She explained to me that the reason she wasn’t playing with the other kids is because she wasn’t good at making friends. But in return I said, “but I’m your friend”. She smiled and started to talk more about herself. Little did I know that this conversation would change my life forever. While listening to her conversation, she started off telling me what she wanted
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
MY personal experience was visiting Busch Gardens for the first time in Tampa Florida. The scenery was extremely beautiful and a very playful place to enjoy during the holidays. As I walked in the smell of different food grabbed my attention. The food court was very clean, but I couldn’t eat yet due to the fact that I wanted to hop on the roller coaster. The roller coasters were so huge it was nothing compared to the fun spot in Orlando Florida. My skin started to shiver because they were going too fast, people were screaming and I wasn’t sure if it was due to happiness or being scared.
On 09/15/2016, I, Chad Agnew, was working as a patrol officer for the Wichita State University Police Department, in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas. At approxiametely 1412 hours I was in a meeting with Cpt. Herl in his office when I heard Officer Faison ask for another officer to his location on the radio. I got up and left Cpt. Herl's office and started running out to a patrol vehicle. I ran to vehicle 11 and got in the driver side. Officer Albert got in the front passenger side. I drove us to the physical plant where I saw Officer Faison talking to an elderly male outside of a vehicle. I exited the patrol vehicle and activated the dashcam. The male that Faison was speaking with was later identified as John Smarsh. He was very antimated and upset that he was involved in an accident. I noticed Sgt. Moyer and Officer Tener were backing up Officer Faison and it seemed to upset Smarsh more that so
I think push has been one of the categories I have taken seriously. I feel that I have been meeting the goals that I set out for myself. By using push in my schedule i think that I am trying new things that I would not have normally tried before. Most of my pushes have been things I have always wanted to do but never got the drive to do it and I think I am succeeding because I am actually achieving these.
WAAS, the Wild Area Augmentation System is an air navigation system developed by the FAA to Augment GPS satellites. WAAS is used to track aircraft in flight to better improve its accuracy and ability to locate aircraft within 25 ft. actual measurements of the system have shown accuracy as precise as 3 ft 3 in. laterally and 4 ft 11 in. vertically throughout most of the United States and Canada. The WAAS system has the ability to critique itself and correct problems such as incorrect signals in as little as 6.2 seconds. The WAAS system does this by using ground segment stations that continuously measure the small variations in GPS satellites in the Western
It was around 2:00 p.m. on a temperate day in mid-August. My family and I were on vacation in Walker, Minnesota. We lodged in a rented cabin at Big Rock Resort on the expansive Leech Lake. My gracious grandfather decided to rent a Jet Ski for the day, so we all lathered up in sunscreen and hit the water. Little did I know that the next few hours were going to be some of the scariest I’ve ever experienced.
Throughout my life I have lived with an injury that still taunts me today. I never thought this would still effect me 5 years later. This injury has helped me grow as a person because I worked very hard to get back strong again to where I could continue to play the sport I love.
As a freshmen there are many experiences and trials you ,must overcome in order to support yourself as a student .These actions don’t come easily and may take may attempt before learning from them. If you choices to neglect taking these action it will only end hurting you later on in your academia career. In my personal experiences, I should have been more informed of on compass resources like the AEC alongside with improving my own actions like improving important skill such time management and communication in order to support my success.
I will start by saying that this has been one of the by farthest emotional roller coaster semester I have been through since beginning of school. I came in thinking it would be a smooth ride, but then I realized that adding more field hours is challenging despite of having only three classes. Also, it still is hard to manage the workload from grad school and my own personal life. Nonetheless, I also feel that this semester has thought me a lot about myself and strengths I carry.
When I think of my own personal past experiences, I think of the most significant events and most likely think that those are the times that have shaped you as who you are today and who you are in the future. When my grandpa had passed away there were major effects that my family and I had faced. Difficulties like not being able to sleep at night and having lost someone who meant something special to everyone. When I think about the smaller challenges I have faced in the past and throughout my life, I can start to put together that even the most insignificant events that have happened in the past could make a significant impact on the person I am in my near or far future. Occurrences like going through broken bones, losing friends, or even a gym teacher might have a greater force than I may have expected.
It was a cold and windy Saturday night when I sat alone in the pitch dark classroom contemplating my life. With tears dripping down my face, I truly wondered my existence. Why did I have to stay and deal with my emotional struggles and loneliness? At this point, I made my decision to walk over to the Schuylkill river at 11pm at night. I had no idea what I was planning, only that I needed to feel the vast emptiness of the deep, mysterious flowing river.
I am a perfectionist, or a precisionist as some may say. I am deathly afraid of failure, and possessed with the notion that if I make even one minute error, I will lose everything I have fought to achieve. And unfortunately, that fear controls me. My goal of being best I can be is what damns me, and it was not until recently that I how inhibited I am by my anxiety. When I first enrolled in College Credit Plus (CCP) Composition 1, I had no idea what to expect, all I knew was that I was going to get an A in the class no matter what it took. Like normal, apprehension consumed me and I could think about nothing but the grades and the possible ways I could fail. Now, I am nearing the end of the course. Looking back, working hard, in spite of my fear, gave me an irreplaceable gift. I have come to realize, through taking CCP Composition 1, that my perfectionist attitude has complete control over my writing, and furthermore, through the ordeals of the class I have come to understand that I can change, that I do not have to be consumed with worry, and that I can allow myself to write the true feelings of my soul without restraint.
I always wonder how it feels to be heard and what the reactions of others will be. I never had that feeling but I constantly question myself if it’s worth the try. My fear for society has always been a thing, I don’t know why. It may not be a big deal to others and easy for others to speak up but to me it’s not. It’s not easy to be speak nor share, people who know me may wonder why but not even I would understand why. Growing up I have always been quiet but little does everyone know how I really wish I could be heard.
In a small world nursing is a big concept. My name is Odalis Lopez and I am currently 17 years old. My desire is to get into nursing because I have always shown a growing interest into it. It strikes me as a worthwhile and satisfying career to choose. Meanwhile that has always been my interest; I decided to join an ROP program involving the Medical field. So far being in that program has been my biggest accomplishment because through that program I got to work in an actual clinic called Health Works Medical Group Center. I was in that program for about two months, but in
Not many people get the opportunity to travel, let alone travel outside of the country. I was given the chance to travel to Italy for school and I made sure to take advantage of it. I can confidently say that my experience abroad changed me as a person. My academic, personal, and professional outlooks are more clearer than they’ve ever been. I’m first going to give a brief summary of my trip and my experiences, and then I’ll go over what I was able to take out of my trip personally and academically.
