Personal Narrative: What I Learned To My Family

Growing up with a father in the military, you move around a lot more than you would like to. I was born just east of St. Louis in a city called Shiloh in Illinois. When I was two years old my dad got the assignment to move to Hawaii. We spent seven great years in Hawaii, we had one of the greatest churches I have ever been to name New Hope. New Hope was a lot like Olivet's atmosphere, the people were always friendly and there always something to keep someone busy. I used to dance at church, I did hip-hop and interpretive dance, but you could never tell that from the way I look now.

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.

My initial perceptions about the students of St. Angela were very stereotypical. Honestly, I expected those students to come from single parent backgrounds and come from a low income household. I expected to deal with students who live life in a survival type of manner. What I mean by survival type of manner is for one to be on defense seeing the type of the children are from the Austin area. Walking in to St. Angela I expected to deal with kids that didn’t listen and know respect for authority. I expected this due to my upbringing in the same neighborhood.

There weren't any new ideas in that book that gave me new ideas for myself. There were some things that I think of myself as an idea. An idea was that I should always be grateful and respectful. In the book, even with everything that the family didn't have, they would always have each other back and care of one another. Being respectful is also a thing that the family did a lot when Bran and Britt would always respect adult especially there mother. Another idea was being truthful. In the beginning, it was only Bran that was hiding something from his sister and his mother. If he just told his mother what was happening there he wouldn't have lived in the house because it wasn't his grandparents. Even if he thought they were. Those were some ideas

My guided lesson 3 went really well this week. This week the lesson had been implemented exactly the way it had been planned. The lesson began with students looking at the title page and making predictions about the book. Everyone had interesting points to share about the predictions they made. I could tell the students were really excited to read this book as it was very colorful and it got their attention. Before we started reading, I asked the students to look for main events that took place in the book as it will help them retell the story at the end. All the students were able to retell the story to me at the end. What went well the most was the fact that my students brought the main events to my attention on their own before retelling

I did not really learn anything new although I thought it was very informational for those who did not know about what a substantial source is and how to find out if it is a good one.

I walked down the concrete road singing one of my songs that I wrote recently about boys and trust. I didn't know anything about this topic, but I knew that I loved to perform and nothing was going to stop me from doing so. When I sung I often imagined myself as one of the girls from the hit movie Cheetah girls. Today I was Adrienne Bailon, a sassy chick from Cheetah girls who often brought the group together. Tomorrow I would possibly be Raven, the one who left the group. Every day I had a plan on who I was going to be and what I was going to sing. I would wake up every morning ready to start my daily routine of being one of the hit singers with a famous boyfriend who supported her. Around this time, I was 8 and I knew nothing about boys or fame, but I did know that I loved to perform. I know the main questions are: What happened? Did I ever achieve my goals? If so how did you achieve them and if not what stopped you? To partially

I unzipped my coat as I stepped into the warm basement. I crinkle my nose as the bitter smell of alcohol hits it. I feel like I should be used to it by now, I go to concerts at least once a month. We walk over to the small table overflowing with merchandise. It’s a tradition to by the opening bands CD.

Generations, both younger and older, can teach us many different things. My 2nd grade teacher taught me a lesson I will probably never forget. As a little kid, I did not behave very well, at school or at home. But my 2nd grade helper teacher, Ms. Brosnan, knew I was capable of more than that. After what she taught me here, I have behaved ever since.

It was an early afternoon in September and I was going through my usual study plan for the SAT. My mom walks into my room with a sheet of paper.

Even before I was a counselor at Free Spirit Nature Camp, I was a camper, and now I’ve been there for a total of 14 years. That place and those people taught me the most important lessons to learn in life, and I’ve been overjoyed to be able to give back to a place that fosters curiosity and growth in young people in such wonderful way. After all, I want to use my education, my work, and my life as an opportunity to give back. We've been given so much since we were so young, and it's our responsibility to use our unique abilities and perspectives to ensure that the earth and society not only continue to provide, but to progress.

For me personally, no matter how many things went on my canvas the more I learned and grew from them. The lessons I’ve learned from my parents about being true to myself and standing up for myself or others when I know something isn’t right.To always put my best foot forward in anything I do. They’ve also taught me to always do right by my word and listen more than speak and to always be grateful and humble no matter the circumstance. It was because of them, I’ve learned about having the right character and being the character I want to be in my chapter. The lessons that I’ve learned from my friends about trusting the right people and supporting me as a person in the things I do while supporting others as well. They’ve taught me that quality

The client was immobile and withdrawn during this session. She appears afraid to speak and held her child tightly in her arms. The client's eyes are swollen as she continues to cry. She is staring at the ground, as I approach to sit beside her on the bench. She held the baby even tighter as I begin to introduce myself. I continued to talk using a soft voice tone hoping this would make her feel more relaxed. Goals in this session were to make the client feel at eased and not to be tensed while trying to understand the reason for her tears. My asset in this session was being genuine and empathic.

Over the course of these eight weeks I have learned new tips to stay organized, as well as sharpening the skills I have. I would say that is a combination of all the learning activities that I benefited from. It’s been so long since I last went to school, and I am so proud of myself for returning and accomplishing my goals. This class really sets you up for success and gives you the tools necessary to achieve your goals. The most important thing I have learned while taking this course would be the discovering your strengths’ activity. I tend to always look and a completed take and see my mistakes, rather than seeing what I have accomplished. I always look at the positive side of life; but, I am my own worst cretic. By doing this activity I

One year can change everything and you can learn more than you can imagine. I spent my senior year as Mr. Bob Calderone’s apple tutor and there has been a lot of different things that can be taken away with that time. With that, I have learned a lot of useful things that I can apply to everyday life to help other people or even myself. Being in his classroom has shown me how to communicate better with students, or people in general, manage my time to work efficiently, and how to enjoy the little moments of working with my teacher and the students.
