The College of Charleston was my preferred college out of the colleges I applied to. A majority of the time this was a good choice. Then there are times when part of me thinks attending a different college would have been a better idea. Then again, it is only the first semester of my freshman year. Freshman year has a handful of requirements for classes, including the First Year Experience and the seminar that goes with it and many other general education courses. There were a good many choices to choose from for my First Year Experience class and The Gullah Community: Ethnographic Research in Gender and Identity was the one that stood out to me the most.

Although I do not have extensive experience with young children during my B.S.W. studies, I developed the knowledge and skills needed to conduct through interview with clients. I learned how to do assessments on clients and evaluating them properly. I have conducted interventions on clients while recording documentation and reporting the information properly. I have gained the strengths to advocate services for clients. I have learned how to access and deliver the best approaches to further help clients receive services based upon their situations. I have mainly worked with adults with disabilities or addictions. At my internship during my senior year, I gained practical experience in hemodialysis setting by conducting interviews with clients,established

I am from Costa Rica, and I came to the United States eight years ago. The first obstacle that I had to face was the language. However, I knew that if I wanted to get a degree in this country, I needed to study hard and learn the language. Therefore, by that time, my goal was to learn English and start my education. After taking English as a second language classes at Bakersfield College and Adult School, I felt that I was ready to start my AA at Bakersfield College. After I got my Associate degree in Sociology, I felt that I could do more. I decided to get a higher education and get a Bachelor in Sociology at California State University. Now, I am proud to say that this coming semester is my last semester before I graduate with my masters

Business writing has been quite refreshing and rewarding for me, expanding my ability to write professionally. I have learned the different methods for business writing, such as resume and interview tips, proof reading for 30 minutes or so, and the different forms of correspondence writing. Also, we study how to write effectively without being excessively long, getting right to the point. Even being able to update my resume and cover letter, and writing memos for work is much better.

Before this module, I was nervous about will I be able to get a placement. Or even how to apply for a placement? Although I had a general knowledge about CV, I didn’t know that CV must be tailored for each company you are applying for. I just had one CV which I used for everything. But now, because of Management Skills module, I am more relaxed as I have a basic understanding about how to apply, tailor CV so it meets the requirement of the business and what employee look for.

Today, students were instructed to come in and draw a pictures to represent themselves based on their physical attributes or interests. I joined in as well. After this morning work, we all gathered around the carpet in the floor and shared what we drew and explained how it described us. This was such a cool get to know activity and allowed students to express themselves in a fun way. After, they had a vocabulary quiz later in the days so students were allowed to create flash cards in order to partner study. Again, this is a great idea to gets kids involved in learning, using a different activity to get the information across. I am starting to observe that most of Mrs. Prioreschi’s students are kinesthetic learners, who learn from hands on experiences and moving.

Being ENGL 1301 a core course requisite for graduation, usually, students tend to enroll in the class just because they have to. In my case, I was always excited for this class, even before I had registered for it. I had been wishing for the time I was going to be able to take it. Additionally, I had been anxious to take this class because I thought that it would be a great opportunity to learn more about the writing and reading in this country and to improve those skills as well. Throughout my life, I have always been interested in writing, but I had to learn how to write accordingly to the standards of the U.S. Unfortunately, when I started taking this class, with another professor, it was not as I expected. I realized that the instructor was more interested in students who had a high level of writing skills than those students who were still seeking to improve their writing and reading skills.

While reading this article and thinking about my answers, I became aware that this article is more relevant than I originally thought. I’m currently a junior and it came to me that I’ll be potentially interviewing for accounting jobs approximately a year from now. I started to think about my experiences during my internship, school, and athletics. I’ll discuss my experiences working in a team, setting and reaching goals, handling challenges, and facing a difficult situation. These questions and answers will help me with job interviews in the near future.

Reflecting on my past is currently baffling to me. I say this because I am surprised that I have become in my opinion, a very open minded person. I was raised by what I would confidently call extremist Christians. For the first 10 years of my life, I lived in a small southern Minnesota farm community, on a farm. My step-dad worked full time in a small; self-owned machine shop, on what I would refer to as Main Street. My mother, barefoot, hanging laundry on the clothesline, raising myself and my two younger siblings making sure there was a hot meal on the table for dinner. My family definitely followed societies norms with gender roles. This is textbook functionalist, role theory as described “if women were to abandon their roles as full-time wives and mothers, men would not be free to fulfill their functions in the public sphere as breadwinners” (p 63). We attended church every Sunday and the occasional seminar about how mainstream music would send us straight to hell. I am confident that my parent’s religious beliefs oppressed the family. They were somewhat racist, narcissistic, and only seen things in black and white, never gray.

5) For 24 years as STE 13 /11 LW, I have demonstrated exceptional and effective communication skills in many projects where I have made public presentations in front of City Councils and in public meetings. These public meetings included Senator’s representatives, hotel and business associations. As and SRE I presented I-15 Managed lanes Middle to the community on several occasions. In addition, I have also represented Ct to governmental and other representatives that visited my project, including the Governor of California, a Japanese delegation, the media, and SDSU engineering students. I successfully served as an expert witness in several instances and worked with State’s attorneys and successfully defended Ct in a $ 15 million tort case. My writing, oral communication, and analytical skills were successfully demonstrated in my claims reports and oral presentations that clearly presented Ct’s side, resulting in the DRB ruling in Ct favor 90% of the time. I have served as the D11 Design’s representative in the Construction/Design joint task force to improve the quality of plans, communication, coordination, and lesson learned with Construction. I have also conducted and participated many preconstruction, PDT, CR, STM, status meetings the majority of D11 and I-5 CM/GC Corridor projects. As STE for 6 years, I have led a Statewide CTAC quarterly meetings where HQs CADD and IT get updated on the districts' training and equipment deployment efforts, challenges, and successes. I

Through my my journals and the time I’ve spent at Gardner Pilot Academy, I’ve noticed more and more the importance of developing good relations with students and fellow teachers. At the start of this program, I did not even consider the impact of relationships on learning. This may be because although relationships have a vital role on one's education, they are so commonplace in our lives they go unnoticed by students in the classroom. The impact of these relationships, though, is very noticable when teaching. While assisting Ms. Ramon with her classes, I not only saw the relationships she had with her students and how they created a more positive and productive environment, but also the impact of those relationships. During the first couple days I was assisting, I noticed she always expressed interested in her students and treated them with respect. Throughout the rest of my time, I continued to notice this, and have also observed how she makes students feel their contributions are welcomed and how she collaborates with fellow teachers. Experiencing her relationship building process has helped me develop my own relationships, both with students and teachers. Relationships are key in creating a productive and positive learning environment.
