Personal Narrative: My Collaboration With Each Other

Group project, as defined by the Business Dictionary: A collection of individuals that come together to achieve a stated objective. Group project, as previously defined by myself: a dreadful situation that I would try to avoid as much as humanly possible.

Throughout the course of our lives, we must collaborate with people who may have completely different upbringings and have vastly different belief systems than what we may hold ourselves. One scenario in my life in which I had to collaborate with someone different than me was when I had to work with an overly aggressive football player who was a year younger. He started on the freshmen team but soon became the starting quarterback of the varsity team when he was a sophomore. I was on the JV team and was the backup quarterback both my junior and sophomore year. We came from different social groups, and I worried that we would not get along on or off of the field.

My current job is an ABA therapist for the school district. Last week, one of the children on my case load was having a lot of behavior issues in the classroom. In order to help shape his behaviors, a collaboration took place. The classroom teacher, the lead therapist, the autism specialist, another line therapist and myself brainstormed possible strategies to put in place. We all had to observe the behaviors and try to determine the antecedent. From there, we sat down as a team to decide what behaviors we wanted to target first and what strategies we would use. We have all begun to put the strategies into place and we are seeing significant improvement in some of the behaviors. We have all taken turns in dealing

As a paraprofessional one of the biggest problems that is face is the collaboration between the team of the student you work with. I work on a team of twenty-one people who I must communicate with most of them daily or weekly basis. The main issue I face is working with the Special Education teacher and regular classroom teacher in curriculum. The reason being is that I don’t get things modified for my student occurring to the IEP and preview the materials ahead of time. Just being given the material to work with the day of is hard because if I must modify I don’t get the planning time to do so. Then I run into the student having behaviors cause the material is too hard. Looking at the problem-solving worksheet from De Boer I really like the

My first example of one of my peices of work is my Garage Sale flyer. I choes this as one of my examples because it demonstates my understandings of our unit all about creating flyers,business cards etc… The strongest aspects of this peice of work is the way I have all the information needed in an organized way. It does not look super cluttered. I think i could always work on something with any peice of work i do. With this peice i think i could work on my spelling and puncuation. Some of the skills i use to create this peice were; Change the backround, Bordes and accents, Text and

Today I wrote this letter to introduce myself to you for the purpose of improving our collaboration during this semester. As a first son and a fifth child in the family, I’ve received many loves from my parents and my four older sisters. My family migrated from Vietnam to the United States five years ago and carried our new hopes and dreams to this place. I was having a tough time in maintaining my native language and learning English at the same time. I don’t have any interest in reading books because I‘ve never really enjoy any book that I’ve read in the past, or just because I haven’t read as much book as i thought I did. My goal for this year is to past every classes with an A. The reason is I don’t want to lose my financial aid, and

When my mother asked me to read a book a few months ago, I was hesitant to agree. A stressful school year was approaching, and seeing my friends on a Saturday night seemed much more appealing. When I was younger, curling up with a good book was a typical pastime. Then came high school, and reading was replaced with countless hours of studying, cheer practice, and trying to figure out when I could catch up on some much needed rest.

Caroline, my sister, is the type of person who loves animals and says she wants to save the world. She thinks her jokes are the best, but she’s the only one that laughs. She is always willing to help someone out if they are stuck. She knows how to put a smile on someone's face. Whenever Caroline answers the phone, even if it wakes her from a nap, she always smiles first and then talks. “Because a smile can change any meaning” she always says. She is a 20 year old junior at “UW-Madison for my undergraduate degree in anthropology with certificates in archaeology and classics” (C. Schlinsog, Personal Interview, May 31, 2017). She is very smart, she is taking summer classes so she can graduate early and go on to graduate school. She has a big future ahead of her.

My field experience was in Ms. Felkins third grade classroom at Washington Elementary School. The class there are nineteen students total, nine boys and ten girls. There are two different ethnic groups in the class, four African American students and fifteen white students. Additionally, there are three students who go to a resource room throughout the day for academic instruction. One of the students goes to the resource room for thirty-minute increments throughout the day. Three students go to a small reading group each day to work on reading skills.

If I'm in...I'll be All-In. While I'll be the first of family and friends to attend the University of Colorado, Boulder and unsure of the challenges within the campus community, I know myself. I am at my best when I fully commit.

The team and I joked around to try and release our nerves. Something was bugging me though, I kept thinking back to when Durkins told me that Lincoln had said that we were going to lose(4). I was really shocked, I mean, I knew Lincoln trusted his old team more than he trusted us but I had dismissed that as a new kid kind of thing. That didn’t mean I was all cool about it though, I was angry that he wasn’t confident in his team to win against Franklin. Although that anger may be from the times that Lincoln disobeyed Coach or from when he trusted his old team more than his new team even though we were his new team. MitchelI put Mitchell in a headlock and a little later Lincoln strode into the locker room. I let go of Mitchell and straightened up. “ Durkins says you said that we’re goin’ to lose. Why did you say that?” I remarked.

When I first began this assignment, I thought it would've been a challenging essay because I had to insert eight of my resources into my paper. Third essay reflects on the fourth essay which was great because it wasn't going to be that difficult to type this paper. I began my assignment by thinking of a proposal that I could argue. I came up with this proposal of the cost due to the assignment we did in class. The assignment was what does your service learning face and my service learning face short staffing but I know I wanted my proposal to deeper, so I can relate. This why I choose cost because I can relate and a lot of families facing this issue. My biggest challenges in researching was finding article to support my proposal. It was easy

One of the most memorable experiences of collaboration for me was when I was working on a statistics group project in which we had to gather data for. However, obtaining the data for our project turned out to be a much larger obstacle than we had initially anticipated. When it got to the night before we had to present our findings to the class, we still had only just a couple of data points, and as a result, an inconclusive analysis of the trends shown by our data. Frustrated and stressing out, I was at a loss for what to do and sympathized deeply with those phone survey callers dialing your home phone to collect data only to be hung up on. After a long hour of deliberation and an existential life crisis, I finally approached my group in a

During my first few weeks at Grand Valley I faced my first group project, unfortunately my team had one week to do it and I was very unwell most of the time. It was difficult endure scheduled classes and even more challenging to meet others outside of class time. The presentation went overall well since my group members stepped up to make sure everything was taken care of in my absence. That’s when I had my realization students aren’t here to mess around, however put their nose in the books and start studying.

I am the student fellowship coordinator at CBCGB COM. The student fellowship (BSF) is divided in to two big groups: undergrad and grad students. I am mainly responsible for the graduation students group. Within the graduation group, there are five small groups. Each group has two counselors (one group only has one), a group leader, an assistant leader, and at least one co-worker. So we totally have 9 counselors and 15 co-workers. All the counselors and co-workers work together to make sure the Bible study is going well. In the past week, there were two things happened.
