This is a reflective essay based on a event which took place in a hospital setting. The aim of this essay is to explore how members of the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) worked together and communicate with each other to achieve the best patients outcome.

What comes to your head when you think of writing? Personally, I think of a long dreadful process, that I am not particular too good at. Even though one half of my brain wants to hate writing, the other half realizes how important of a quality writing really is. Over my high school and middle school years I have learned many of my own deficits when it comes to writing. Attempting to over come many these deficits in my writing, I attempt to seek perfection in my limited strengths. I am going to discuss assets and weaknesses of mine, that make me believe that I am no better than just a average writer.

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

Throughout the semester we have written several different types of essays. Those being informing essays, essays with research, and essays about personal experiences. For me, half of the battle was choosing the topic. After choosing the topic and writing a rough draft we most times would have a peer review. The peer review helped me to see my classmate’s ideas and opinions about my work. Taking their suggestions helped improve my paper in the end. I also used the paper checks to see how I was doing with my paper. Over the semester I have improved on several things. These being vocabulary, over explaining myself, and grammar. However, there are some things that I haven’t improved on but would like to.

During the first week study, the lecture reminds me of the previous course in Enggen 303. Rob emphasize how important the communications are inside the team work through some samples and activities. I totally agree that but I would like to talk about my own opinion in here for some points.

From the group discussion we had about each other political views there was many things that I learned and reflected on. To start off, I identify with the Democratic party, but since the previous presidential election I don't know if I still want to be associated with it. The current Democratic party is a party right now that I feel alienated right now because I believe they are not reflecting the current working man and are corrupted by Wall Street officials. Based on my previous answer, I classify myself a subset of the Democratic party: a Social Democratic. On social issues, I believe that the environment is the number one priority facing the nation because the environment affects everyone and with no end in sight, there needs to be increased regulations in order to protect it for future generations and the future of the country. Another social issues that is a concern for again everyone is who has guns. I pointed to the events in Las Vegas and Newtown and the unnecessary amount of killing resulting from the inadequate amount of mental health facilities, of gun ownership education, and of regulations on certain guns. On economic terms, I see that a bigger government will be better for the American public because it's natural that people especially the wealthy will only benefit themselves; it’s just human nature. Therefore, the idea of trickle down economics will not work for the average worker, but the everyday CEO. The most important political topics that is needed for

I have established key relationships by partnering and influencing program leadership team by being the first point of contact for Finance & Service for CPS program if they have financial, O2D, contracting etc. queries.

As I reflect back on the past18 years, I am reminded of the many experiences and various people that have influenced me and helped mold and shape my views on education and learning. Many great teachers and coaches have all helped instill in me a love for learning. Difficult teachers, unfair coaches and challenging relationships with peers have helped me develop the desire to prove myself and to do my best to rise above and to learn in spite of challenges. Instances of cheating, injustice, apathy and school politics could have possibly stolen my desire to learn and grow. Instead these things have driven me to educate myself in order to bring about change and provide opportunities to do something more with my life.

The comments say that I display a growth mindset and also generate good ideas, but that normally I do not put them in the table and also, I do not take initiative when it is necessary.

Over the course of my life I have been a part of many groups and have been exposed to many values. Each group membership or value has shaped me into the person I am today. I consider myself a member of many groups including my biological family, my church family, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) alumni, and George Mason University’s (GMU) Master’s in Social Work (MSW) graduate student cohort. My biological family includes my immediate family members, as well as my extended family members. While I do not see my extended family often, I do identify them as close family members, as we share many of the same values and traditions. Similarly, to my biological family, I identify my church family as a group I am a part of. Before moving to Virginia to begin the MSW graduate program at GMU, I attended a church in Chapel Hill, North Carolina regularly. I quickly immersed myself in the activities and mission of the church, and it became one of the groups I most identified with over the course of my four-year undergraduate experience. Over the past few months, I have found another church in Virginia and I am confident it will soon become one of the groups I most strongly identify, as the church is a place where people with similar beliefs and values gather together for a common purpose. While I no longer have strong feelings of group membership with my church family in Chapel Hill, I now strongly identify with the UNC-CH alumni instead. Despite being over

On Section 3 (Build Your DREAM Team) Module 1 (Develop your Social Network) Exercise 2.16 (How To Maximize Your LinkedIn & Facebook Profiles & Expand Your Networks) I began to reflect on what I learned in order to evaluate and maximize my social capital and build my brand. Since I did not have a LinkedIn.com profile, I started from scratch. I was very skeptical about creating a LinkedIn.com profile because once something is on the internet, it is forever, which I was reminded in class. However, prior to class, I learned that LinkedIn is an important factor in networking, finding job opportunities, and in the hiring process. Therefore, it is essential for me to have a profile to help me find a job and enhance my career. Without a social presence, I am invisible. As Professor Harry suggested, I pulled up his profile and started on mine. I began to realize that I have a gap. Everything I was involved in at high school was no longer significant. I was starting over. Some elements could carry over, but the majority could not. In class, we learned that creating a LinkedIn.com profile now, as a freshman, will help convey how much I need to do to make the difficult transition from college to the professional world a bit easier. I learned many things from completing my profile. I realize that it is important for me because as I was completing my LinkedIn profile I got a sense of direction and awareness as to where I am headed and what I need to accomplish to be a candidate for the

My father, a small town pharmacist, and my mother, a child behavioral psychologist, each had a fundamental empathy and compassion for aiding others. Through them I witnessed, and became inspired, by the ever complicated relationship dynamics of total patient care. I realized my father didn’t just fill prescriptions as the local “Walmart Pharmacist” and my mother didn’t just convene and listen to individual’s dialogue about their personal issues. Instead, the interactions they both faced with each of their respective patients carried a multiplex of red tape, claim denials, write offs, prolonged consults, bureaucracy, and confusing medical terminology from beginning to end. Yet, somehow they both managed to offer the care, sympathy, and willingness to assist anyone and everyone who required it within our small community.

The main goals for this project, as I said in my email last year, were to improve my work ethic, and create something I was proud of. I believe I accomplished both of those things, but first I will discuss the things that I would have done differently. Most importantly I would have captured more emotion in my photos. Not just more photos, but a wider range of emotions. I did capture some other emotions, but I had a lot fewer shots of them and therefore even fewer made it into the final project. I think that Braden purposefully wore a hat when I was taking photos of him, but I didn’t notice until it was too late. I would have worked harder to make him comfortable without it, but it took me too long to realize. I think I captured the main mood of what he does which is a sort of peaceful kind of work. He really seems in bliss when playing guitar and I was really able to capture that with the images I already took. As I continue to photograph Braden I will try to get more images depicting sadness, happiness, frustration, etc. I also wish I had more time with Braden. I took very opportunity that I had to take photos of him, and I shot at many different locations, but I am looking forward to photographing him during the school year when he is not gone with his family so much. This way I will have opportunities to photograph him in even more environments and doing more than just playing guitar. I will focus a little less on composition and more on the story, emotion, etc. I think
