I am very interested in a career field in Human Resources. For this paper, I interviewed Lillian Mannino who is a Human Resource and Personnel Manager at the UC San Diego Graduate School of Global Policy and Strategy. As a manager, Lillian serves as the link between the graduate school’s management and its employees. She is in charge of overseeing recruitment, employee relations, policy development, payroll, and benefits. Personnel management is a special branch of management that is focus on the concerns of employees at work and their relationship with the organization. Her educational experiences consist of a bachelor degree at UC San Diego in Management Science and a professional Human Resources certificate from UCSD Extension. She has been working in the academic administration for almost ten years and earned her current position as manager through climbing up the ladder.

Human resource development (HRD) had little meaning to me before I decided to take this class. I had some involvement with the Human resources department in the past few summers while being oriented into my intern position, but never to a great extent. After listening to lectures and reading the assigned readings, I have now developed a greater understanding of HRD and what it entails.

Whether an organization consists of five or 25,000 employees, human resources management is vital to the success of the organization. HR is important to all managers because it provides managers with the resources – the employees – necessary to produce the work for the managers and the organization.

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.

I started my lesson off by allowing the students to shake their wiggles out. This helps them stay focused on the lesson. We meet after lunch so they are usually tired and ready to go home. After, we did that I asked them to look over their push/pull charts from the previous day. I told them to reflect on the lesson (interactive PowerPoint) from yesterday and to think about their opinions they developed. I gave them one to two minutes to reflect and turn and talk to their neighbor. As they talked I went around to listen in on the pairs to make sure their conversations were on task. After the two minutes were up I asked each pair to raise their hand if they were finished discussing their opinions. I allowed several pairs to share their opinions. I also asked the groups to provide two reasons to support their opinion. I restated some of their answers to make sure they were providing two reasons. I also did that to allow other pairs to possibly learn new reasons to support their opinion. After, three pairs shared I asked the class “what is an opinion?” I let two people in the class share their answer and then I restated their answer. Next, I asked them “why do opinions have to be supported by reasons?” I called on one student to share their answer. I told the class to think about what we said yesterday. After, I explained why opinions had to be supported by reasons I informed the class that today we will be constructing an opinion piece. I asked the class if they had ever

Throughout class, we absorb each combination as a whole in order to grasp the main idea and main goal from each concept. We then, break it down step by step and work to redefine each part. From here, majority of the time, we repeat and repeat it. In the readings, deep practice does best when we work with repetition, however only for a certain amount of time. Sometimes it’s even best to take baby steps when practicing. By breaking things down, we allow for our brains to absorb each concept that will later translate into muscle memory, therefore making it easier for us to recall these skills because our body has been practicing the feelings over and over again.
