I just pulled in the drive way from a long weekend vacation. I unlock the trunk and find that my bags are not in there. Did I leave them at my hotel or the airport I thought to myself. Well I guess I'm heading back to the airport and see if they're there. I jumped into my small blue car and drove off. What I didn't notice whenever I left was my side door to my house was slightly open. I guess I'll deal with that when I get back home. I drove for at least an hour when I felt something shake underneath my car. I couldn't stop, I was in the middle of the highway at this point. I decided to keep going, I was almost to the airport. About 15 minutes later I arrived at the airport terrified what was underneath my car.
It was my first time going geese hunting with a shotgun. I was really nervous to going because my uncle and my grandpa are really good at it. They go every weekend and more than half of the time they get their lemont. Also I was very excited to go just growing up going and always watching them going hunting with guns and i always watched. I was getting tired of it. I thought it was time for me to have a gun and on more messing around as much
Jose has gained valuable experience writing and staffing policies and orders. He has gained the confidence of his fellow co-workers within the other branches. Jose effectively communicates with all Soldiers (Privates to General Officers) and senior civilians. His writing skill is appropriate for staff level communications.
Interviewing someone you know may be a more easier with than someone you do not know. In this case, I interviewed my friend Matthew Guerrero. He is a sophomore here at Washburn. Matthew's background is different than mine because he is Hispanic and grew up with his married parents and his one brother. That differs from my background because I grew up with divorced parents going back and forth between the two every weekend. I also grew up a bit different because there is a total of eight kids in my family. I chose to interview Matthew because even though we both have two very different life's we are very similar. I think it is interesting how we had complete opposite lives growing up but we both are almost boy-girl version of each other and
While serving as Officer in Charge of the Marine Security Guard Training Center, I had the opportunity to observe Corporal Garcia on a daily basis. Corporal Garcia was extremely proficient in her billet as an Administrative Specialist and was able to quickly adapt to a continually evolving training cycle to assist with a demanding work environment. She served as the administrative chief for rotating sequence of 200 Marines every quarter. As the administrative manager, she handles the personnel rosters, pay allowances, promotion entries, and mail administration for each of those Marines. This does not include the constant support she provided to the permanent staff by submitting training documentation and by acting as the liaison for administrative
When registration time rolled around in fall 2015, I only needed 12 hours to graduate in May; however, I knew I would be bored and yearned for a class that was meaningful and would end my college career on a positive note. When Dr. May mentioned the mentoring at-risk youth class I was hooked. Although he tried to talk everybody out of it, I knew that this was going to be a perfect fit for me. I have always enjoyed working with youth, whether it was through coaching cheerleading, volunteering in the local elementary school, or spending afternoons at a halfway house for abused and neglected children. By signing up for the mentoring program I was able to try something I had never tried before— using my love for youth to create a lifelong one-on-one
I had the pleasure of interviewing Pedro Castillo. He is seven years old, Cuban, and is in Ms. Neer’s first grade class. Despite English he is one of the few students in his class that is above average, he is reading at a second grade level.
1. The 2nd case study made me reflect on my first head coaching job in football. I was hired by a school in south Texas with the help of a friend I coached with in Oklahoma. He had moved back to his hometown and started teaching and coaching at his high school. He contacted me about the opening and two months later I was hired. I hired him to be one of my assistants and even made sure that he was paid well as a thank you. I was very disappointed with the way he coached that year. I had already make arrangements to move him to a non-coaching position for the next season. I realize I never spoke with him about my expectations or made him aware of how I felt during the season. I identity with Dr. Skinner is some regards. I was caught up in the other aspects of teaching, coaching, and AD duties, I neglected to take care of that issue. I understand that it is OK to hire a trusted colleague or friend but the expectations of them should not be any different of anyone else.
In today’s society, it is easy to research our role model’s favorite colors, past relationships, zodiac signs, and many other unimportant facts, but it is difficult to find the most useful information: Who were their mentors? Our role models inspire us and help shape our identities. I have personally looked up to transgender activists and Jewish leaders at my synagogue. I have been inspired by the opportunities and freedoms these mentors have created for me.
Last summer I wanted to work and earn a little cash and distract myself and not be home all summer. I didn't know where to apply so I applied everywhere I was even open to working in the fields my parents told me that the fields were the last place they ever wanted me to work. My mom and step dad Raul always told me that field work wasn't easy and that it was not for me but I didn't listen.
I was surprised when I learned that I didn’t have only one mentor, but I had three mentors. I was anxious as to who was going to be my mentor and felt scared that I wouldn’t be able to create a connection. One of my mentors had work that day, so I had to arrive a little earlier to have a quick talk. I thought this was going to be my only mentor but it wasn’t. I also, have Dani Barajas and Adrian Camacho as mentors.
Tuesday, September 12, 2017, I eagerly interviewed a fellow co-worker, Patricia Britt, a kindergarten assistant teacher at my school, New Hope Elementary. She has been a paraprofessional for almost twenty years. When asked to define the term 'paraprofessional', Britt replied, "An underpaid teacher who does just as much, if not more, in the classroom as the certified teacher but doesn't get recognized for it." In a sense, Britt is undoubtedly correct. Most of the time, assistant teachers are considered not as important or not as valuable as certified teachers. Assistant teachers can perform the same duties as certified teachers, but do not get compensated for it nor recognized for all the hard work put into the task.
I look in my night stand drawer and I find a few pictures, however the one that caught my eyes was dated June 10, 1976.In that picture I’m sitting on a bench in front of a water fountain in downtown I’m just turn 16 and sitting next to me my best friend Lucy and she’s 17. I know it's on a Saturday because it is the only day our mothers let us go to town. In the picture it seems to be a sunny day that our eyes are a little closed. I can see some birds very close to us, others eating off the floor, and many trees around the plaza. We are sitting close to the water fountain. The water is spraying our backs and we’re getting wet. We are laughing because the water was cold.
With the mid-semester already here, my mentor and I have fit into a routine where he expects our time together. Jason has seemed to have ease with excitement and is accustomed to having me as a mentor now. However, I feel as though since now he knows what days I mentor for him, this has caused some issues, as well as perks between us working together. I feel that I have been now doing this long enough to experience the best of both worlds when it comes to enjoying time with your mentee, as well as experiencing quite difficult moments and situations while mentoring. I am now accustomed to the rules and procedures that every student follows in the classroom, and in the hallways and on the playground as well. I am far into this program to better
I have cloudy, yet strong memories of my mentor's figure. My mentor will start by writing that she was the most important person in my life. My memories begin at the age of six, when I took their hands and together we came to my school every morning. He conveyed so much happiness that my first unfortunate class day did not seem real. All the children were sad or screaming and I only listened to the advice of the man who spoke slowly and with angelic touch. His passion to see me happy and become a great professional. Its appearance, life-form values and responsibility will be unforgettable memories.
