This semester has flown by. I am grateful and pleased to have had you as my instructor. I have learned, and been reminded of, a lot of important information throughout this course. In my Letter of Submission, I will try my best to address all the points that you outlined for us. Before I address those points, though, I would like to say thank you for all the hard work that you put in on our behalf. I would have to say that the most important lesson that I learned about during this semester is to always remember to consider who my audience is and how I can best get through to them. I struggled with that some in this course because the class was made up of a range of different ages. Another area that we covered in this course that I found beneficial was critical reading. Critical reading and rereading are exercises that a lot of us get lazy about, but they are important and reap great rewards. I found this especially true when it comes to remembering the details of what I have read. On the flip side of that I think that, for me personally, the least productive strategy is working from completed drafts. What I mean by that is doing a complete draft and then re-working it from beginning to end. I think that I do better when I edit small sections as I go along. I think that I tend to lose track and cut out important information when I edit my work as a whole during my working process. This happened in my informative essay. There were many places where I
While I appreciated that one of my peers provided feedback on my work, I feel that the feedback that was provided did not fulfill the assignment. My peer did not provide detailed feedback on my paper that could be adequately incorporated in my review and revisions. Most of the information that was provided as feedback were simply statements that reiterated what the prompt question was. Please see the below feedback provided to me by my peer.
In this book, the author Margaret Genevieve West examines various aspects of Zora Neale Hurston’s life and her literary works. West explores how Hurston is reviewed by other literary scholars and many of the essential elements of Hurston’s writing such as Voodoo and a highway of the wilderness is explored in detailed in the novel. This is an authentic source for my paper as the author uses many scholarly articles and books to write her novel. I will be using this source to compare leadership qualities among Moses, Aaron and Miriam. The section Voodoo Fact and fiction reflects well with my paper where the author discusses how the allegory is used in Moses character.
One behavior that I would like to improve for myself is increasing my daily physical activity level. I chose to utilize the Revised Health Promotion Model (HPM) to address this behavior. Upon reviewing the various models and theories in chapter three of the textbook, the revised Health Promotion model stood out to me and I felt many aspects of the model are perfect to address the behavior I selected to change. The three main components of the model focus on the individual characteristics and experiences, behavior-specific cognition and affect, and the behavioral outcome (Pender et al., 2011). All of these components are essential when planning and intervening to change a behavior. The text states “Research indicates that often the best predictor of behavior is the frequency of the same or similar behavior in the past. Prior behavior is posed to have both direct and indirect
I want to thank you again for a great semester. Your class has been exceptionally well run and enjoyable. The vast amount of information I have taken away from this class is incredible! I'm wishing you all the best in your future.
During this semester, I have learned a great deal about my own writing, and writing in general. One of the main takeaways from this course for me was how to break down the intricate process of writing papers. In addition, I developed viable skills regarding going into more in-depth detail during each step of the writing process. I enjoyed having the freedom to write about a topic that I was able to choose. This allowed me to research and write about something that actually interested me immensely. Having to work with one topic for the entire semester taught me how to find reliable resources and how to pick out the essential research from each article.
When I was three years old. My grandma took me to her house and made me learn how to write everyone’s name. Including my name that was the easiest out of the 30 names I had to learn how to write. While my grandma was teaching my how to write. I learned that I was writing in
The purpose of this assignment is to self-reflect on what has been learnt in the topic this semester and how it is going to influence as a health professional in our chosen field. This assessment is made to encourage us to be able to identify the values and beliefs we have as individuals and how these impact on our ability to interact without others in a diverse society. This self-reflection will include the results from an Implicit Association Test to help gain a greater awareness of my own unconscious thoughts as well as evidence from reliable sources to help back up statements and give evidence to support this assessment.

At the start of the internship, my objectives were to learn more about the film industry, to gain further insight into working life and how that differs from college and to gain more experience in the field of public relations. All in all, I felt I achieved all of these goals I set for myself. In my previous write up, I highlighted the difference I found between work life and college life. I found it pleasant that I did not have homework occupying my nights however it was difficult and draining to be focused on work for at least 8 hours a day with a small 1 hour break for lunch. From Mammoth Advertising, I also delved extensively into the inner workings of film PR, especially on how coverages for things such as trailers and posters impacts how a movie will be marketed. I was also given the chance to write press releases for things such as trailers and character debuts, which was fun and exciting. Overall, it gave me a sense of how public relations have an important and irreplaceable place in a successfully marketed film. Although my experience at Mammoth Advertising was not smooth sailing nor easy, my summer with this film PR company has definitely peaked my interest in venturing further into the film PR industry. In my future endeavors, I hope to be working for the studios such as Lionsgate, Paramount Pictures or FOX 20th Century to get a feel of what goes into making a movie successful on within distribution and production
My educational experience is one amazing thing I would never forget. My parents gave me an experience of a lifetime that I would never let go and continue to expand. It was a gift of a great education I could have tossed away but instead I took advantage of it and it expanded my intellect and made me more independent. As a young girl my parents always told me, they wanted a great educational experience for me. They said no matter what it took to get me into good schools, to have a great education they will do it. My parents worked very hard to give me the opportunity to be in private school my whole life since pre-school. They always told me to work hard, be bright and be bold. The educational level I had being in private school my whole life was amazing. What was amazing about my education level is that I was able to take all college prep. classes, I took an AP Spanish class, my teachers were always on top of us to hand in work in time, essays in my English class were based on a college level writing. It was amazing because my school expanded my mind more on a college based level.
Beginning the writing process, I established for myself a mental roadmap. I asked myself what I was trying to say, and what the goal or intent of the writing would be. Was I attempting to persuade my readers, or to be didactic instead? I considered the "how" part of the equation later, and honed each sentence word for word. The how part of the writing process was relatively simple compared to the question of what to say, and why. I had to imbue the paper with social commentary, for there was much to say about these readings.
He was very shy with low self-teem, lack of confidence, didn’t have many friends at school, he didn’t talk much, he would prefer to eat alone at recess, when he did took the nerve to make any type of comment more than one laughed. This happened even more frequently when he turned grades, he wasn’t taking it well. His grades where showing his lack of interest, every morning was a trouble to get him to go to school, once he even skipped class. They were making fun at him at every opportunity available. He would not tell anyone nor do anything at all. This was becoming a real nightmare. Every family member become suspicious of his sudden attitudes, specially his school grades. His mother was very concerned about this, but no one did anything about it, until way later.
When I first came across this assignment I felt that it was going to be easy for me, I felt that it was going to be a breeze, but it turns out that it wasn’t so easy. Writing for me is always so complicated I always seem to feel down when I express myself in writing, although others may say its “creative”, or its “good”, my self-esteem always brings me down. Even though I am working on my self-esteem, trying to get it to where I’ve always wanted it to be I have difficulties like everyone else. When I know I’m going to have trouble on an essay I tend to do research, radically I use words that I wouldn’t normally say or that kids my age wouldn 't know to make myself seem smarter than what I come off to be. Once I find
One of the things I learned is how some events really changed me. In essay one, I wrote about how my house burning down had changed my view on culture. Until I started on that paper I never really thought about how it had affected me, but then as I started writing it became clear how much that event changed me. I was a spoiled person who basically had everything I
The writing I did this semester for Engl 110c has meant alot to me because I was able to pick a topic that has such a huge impact in my life. I was able to do the topic about Navy Wives, which has a huge impact on me. I recently became a navy wife a year ago and my life has changed drastically. I was able to share everything I wanted to about the life of a military wife through my writings, as well as share to my classmates about my topic. I really enjoyed creating my ePortfolio because I could come out of my shell and be me. I made a ePortfolio website that would be for military wives to read. I believe this website would be perfect for any military wife reading it. I was able to give tips and information on what it’s like to be a military wife, how to prepare for deployments and how to stay strong being a military wife.
