Reflection: Heritage Hall University

This paper explores the history of Charleston Southern University located in the heart of the Lowcountry in Charleston, South Carolina. With its core Christian values, Charleston Southern achieves an atmosphere that most universities cannot. The history of this school can be pinpointed back to 1964 when it was initially founded (University History and Milestones, 2015). The early years were fairly rough, with low enrollment rates and very few majors being offered (Joslin, Merkling, & Strubel, 2014). However, the university went through countless changes that drove it to be the successful school that it is today. Now, Charleston Southern University is an academically excellent school and also a member of the NCAA Division I Big South Conference. This school started as merely an idea and expanded into a thriving university full of thousands of students.

To proving that I’m eligible for this incredible honor and responsibility will be challenging for my actions do not reflect my true character. This organization can help me show my beautiful colors and share with the

Since, arriving at Rowan University I became at-home with Rowan’s diversity and efforts to make an impact on not only its students, but the local residents living in Glassboro too. Early in the Fall semester, I tried-out for the school’s Rugby and Ultimate Frisbee athletic teams, and ran for the Student Government position of Freshmen class Senator. I was trying to find my niche at Rowan and I found it when I joined the Pre-Med, Medlife and Pre-health society clubs. In addition, I ran for another student government position, Senator At-Large. I was elected into student government on November 7th and since then, I have felt like an active member in Rowan’s community. I first learned that Residential Learning and University Housing was looking for students to fill new Residential Assistants positions in a Senate meeting. Additionally, I’m very keen in becoming a Residential Assistant.

The Bishop Noll community would benefit from having me as a member because I am a dedicated and committed student who strives to make a difference in everyday life through leadership, service, academics, and relationships. I think that taking on the title of warrior means accepting leadership and I have lots of successful experience with leading positions in academics, extracurricular activities, sports, and everyday life. Service and religion is a part of Bishop Noll’s mission that has always been an important component of my life, and I look forward to contributing my skills and experiences to that aspect of student life. I will contribute my academic ability to help the Bishop Noll community anyway I can and I look forward to taking advantage of any opportunities that will help me do that. I believe that making a difference in someone’s life through friendship, religion, or assistance is the

The experience of working with such a great team will help me to further identify the value of my peers’ opinions and the importance of representing UTA well. I hope to cultivate appreciation of what my peers have to offer, no matter how different our background may be. Serving as The Bash Chair requires constant engagement and representation of UTA students. These circumstances will help me expand my understanding of our communities and culture. I would love to lead the process of traditionally outstanding, family-friendly events. In the past, I have worked on behalf of large organizations so I am familiar with constantly sending out emails and phone calls to gain potential sponsorship for school events. Additionally, I have exceptional time-management skills that I have cultivated over my career in public education which I can easily leverage into managing student volunteers and connecting with other student organizations. I enjoy connecting with people to accomplish a goal, no matter how time-demanding the task may

I am so thankful that the University of Mississippi allows their education students to be able to experience something like this before we actually go to a school. I have been told that Teach Live cost a lot for the University. I have learned how to communicate better, how to properly dress, how to address an issue in the classroom, and how to look at the students instead of the wall. I hope the University of Mississippi continues to let the students experience Teach Live because it is an experience I will never forget.

I have been two different Hinds campus. I would say that the Jackson campus staff is much more friendly than the Raymond campus. My first day at the Jackson campus the police officer made sure that I got to the right classroom. The teacher that I had was even friendlier. My first day at the Raymond campus was not that good.

This semester at CEC, I am taking four classes. I am taking Public Speaking, College Algebra (obviously ), Career Readiness, and Astronomy 101. Public Speaking, College Algebra, and Career Readiness are all held on campus at CEC. Astronomy 101 is held at Front Range Community College. I choose to take these classes because I have to take them to graduate, but Astronomy I chose because it seemed very interesting and like a fun class. I am most excited for Astronomy because of the outdoor labs at the observatory. My most challenging class this semester will probably be College Algebra. It will be most difficult for me because of the fast paced learning. I also have a part time job at Milnor Orthodontics as a sterilization technician. Another

For the 2016 Fall Semester, I am taking 16 credit hours. My classes include Ecology, Microbiology, Multicultural English, Research and Design in Psychology, and Physiological Psychology. The classes I am expecting to take during Spring 2017 are Physical Education, Cell Biology, Social Psychology, Research Analysis in Psychology, and a Literature course. I am involved in an experiment this Fall semester in the Psychopharmacology lab and will remain involved throughout the Spring. In the Fall and some of the Spring, we will be administering different treatments to rodent groups and observe the effects. For most of the Spring semester, I will be helping with the data analysis. Every week for an hour, I volunteer at the East Athens Tutorial Center,

I guess being at University of Delaware will be one of the most exciting journeys I will ever have. The rigorous course curriculum, highly experienced faculty and the mesmerizing beauty of the campus has hypnotized my senses. Even picturing myself working with the enthusiastic Blue hens, working on real life projects in Internships, experiencing an entirely new way of learning at study abroad programs, and realizing that sky is the limit at UD makes me grin like a Cheshire cat. I will feel more comfortable in the class than outside the classroom. Being a student from a small country I won’t be accustomed with the US culture like small talk, liberal views, dating etiquettes and lot more which will make me a bit uncomfortable outside the classroom.

As a teacher in Carman-Ainsworth's Atlantis High School and under sixteen suspension and expulsion program, I was responsible for a year’s academic progression of up to 24 students of various grade levels, 6th - 12th Grade, with differing ability levels. I developed an individualized education plan for each student by building a curriculum based on results of a diagnostic test, student’s ability and appropriate grade level requirements. Responsibilities and accomplishments include:

I will begin my analysis by explaining the basis of institutional talk – Drew and Heritage (1992b) identify two types of institutional conversation – formal and informal. In formal interaction, participation is focused on particular tasks with a goal to be achieved, and tends to have a fairly rigid, stricter structure. Institutional conversations are more constrained in what will be taken as allowable contributions to the conversation, and inferences will be based on the business or task at hand. Wooffitt (2001: 69) mentions what’s called the ‘fingerprint’ of institutional interaction in that they are instantly recognisable with just a small sample. These types of conversation also tend to have turn-taking expectations, with the speaker being selected rather than self-selecting throughout the interaction. Although Drew and Heritage use these features to talk about news interviews, they can still be applied to regular phone conversations between members of the public and employees in a business, so it is with this in mind that I will analyse my own conversation.

I am writing to apply for the position of Head Girl at St Mary 's College in 2017. I believe St Mary 's College has shaped me into the woman I am today. Over the past four years and with the Leadership of the Year 13’s I have become a woman of Mercy and Wisdom. Every previous leadership team has given me inspiration and has shown me that I have the potential to be a leader at St Mary’s College. The different attributes, qualities and sisterhood of our College has given me great confidence that I can be a valuable part of the 2017 leadership team.

After 3 weeks of being part of the ESW, I experienced a preview of how Cal State Northridge would be like when school officially starts. We were all challenges in 4 assignments to test our writing skills. At first, I thought it would be a difficult time since I am taking classes at CSUN. However, this taught me to think ahead and prepared me for when school officially starts.

The two core values of the National Residence Hall Honorary are: Recognition and Service. How do you exemplify these two core values in your everyday life?
