I wondered how they came up with the idea to use their hands to make bubbles. Orlando said “all you need is a circle shape and you can make a bubble”. I asked them if they could use any other shapes to make bubbles and they started making other shape with their hands like diamonds and triangles and tried to blow bubbles. Once the other children saw them doing this they all wanted to try making bubbled with their hands. Staff thought that this was such a neat idea they even tried it but the bubbles would not work for them. During this experience the children were learning and building on many different skills they were using their co-operation to work together and create the bubbles. They were helping others learn how to use their hands to blow bubbles. They were also using their patterning and problem solving skills. To expand on this staff add different materials that the children could

The essay demonstrates your ability to write clearly and concisely on a selected topic and helps you distinguish yourself in your own voice. What do you want the readers of your application to know about you apart from courses, grades, and test scores? Choose the option that best helps you answer that question and write an essay of no more than 650 words, using the prompt to inspire and structure your response. Remember: 650 words is your limit, not your goal. Use the full range if you need it, but don't feel obligated to do so. (The application won't accept a response shorter than 250 words.)

Reflecting on the situation, social justice, human dignity, integrity, altruism, as well as autonomy were all present at some point throughout their stay. It should not matter what path you stumbled down during your journey in life, everyone may need that extra little help along the way. I am proud of not only my actions that day, arranging for the fish to be fed and making sure that her husband was cared for as well, but the actions of the whole team coming together to make sure it happens. There were some individuals who asked me why I did all those things for these people who are just trying to get more out of society (referring that they were on disability and not working). I was appalled that individuals that can say that work alongside of me! I just tell them not to judge, that there may come a time in life that they need help as well.

At this point, we were some of the most successful farmers in the area. We were making enough money that my family decided we could buy a new piece of property. A piece of property that was much bigger and more in the city. We were able to find land in our budget much easier this time. We were able to build the home in three moons with the help from some of our new neighbors. While, it was being built we lived in the smaller home, along with the three other families. The house we now had was much bigger. It was a one story home that had three separate rooms and we were even able to build an outhouse with it.

This key experience challenged me to learn very early on that I had quickly formed an opinion of the individuals I was working with, which caused me to judge these clients based on what I thought I knew. I felt very quickly in my work with these individuals that the older gentleman would need more help with activities as I felt he likely had a learning disability based on the fact that he walked a little slower as if shuffling and the fact that his speech was not clear. The younger gentleman I felt would be easy to work with as I did not anticipate or note any areas that I felt he would have difficulty in. There was no concrete evidence to support my assumptions, they were solely based on my

I have nine years experience as a receptionist responsible for handling a busy switchboard, directing phone calls & assisting customers. I’m reliable, punctual and posses effective communication skills. I’m able to work independently with little supervision and have a strong willingness to learn.

As students entered the classroom, I greet the students while dressed in a long pant, archeologist vest and helmet. I encourage the students to get familiar with the props by touching and them picking them up, and trying them on. I give them about five minutes to talk among themselves about the props by making a graphic organizer, similar as a bubble map or

At the university I supervised between 17- 20 individuals and at the hospital I grew my team from 5 – 13 members. At Canterbury I had one direct report. I believe in setting clear expectations and goals and meeting on a regular basis with my direct reports. I don’t like to micro-manage, but will increase my involvement when the situation calls for it. As a manager, I believe my role is to help to identify and remove any challenges or obstacles that are in the way of my direct reports, so that they can best carry out their responsibilities. My duty as a supervisor is to give my team the tools and resources they need to carry out their jobs efficiently. All staff need to have clear measures of personal success, i.e., dollars raised, number of

I responded to work emails, phone calls, messages from engagement team and clients in a timely manner.

Our procedure often started with an introduction called “Awaken Enthusiasm”, where we asked the kids to have a review on what we learned last week and then asked them questions about our lesson this week, such as “Has anyone ever experienced…” or “Does anyone want to share…”. After that, we would break up into our natural teams and had discussion. The teacher of the class had divided the team and each instructor would have five or six kids in her team. Then the whole class would have an activity together, what we called “Direct Experience”, like planting peas, predator and prey game, and local food vs. long-distance food race game. Finally, we would pass out natural journals, which could be either a homework testing kids on today’s lesson, or drawing a poster with a slogan created by kids themselves.

As a result of the traumatic injuries which I sustained on December 4, 2014, while working as a police officer and on duty, I am unable to perform my duties as a police officer in a safe and effective manner, without jeopardizing the safety of myself, my coworkers, as well as the public’s, which I took an oath to serve and protect.

If you are a teacher, imagine this scenario. It is the first day of school and you walk into a classroom full of students; their never ending chattering and gossiping growing louder as you take your seat. Now you begin to wonder, 'what can you do or say that will allow you to grab each and every students' attention so that they actually start listening to you?’ Unsure, you start off by greeting them and become slightly disappointed as most of them do not show you the same enthusiasm as you did. You sit there baffled, wishing for a way to present the lesson in such a manner that would enable you to captivate your students, thus achieving pin drop silence in the classroom.

The start of my journal began with documenting my thoughts for three days. For these three days I realized I think negatively about numerous situations. My siblings often express their observations of my negative thoughts. I become anxious about issues I have no control over, which does me harm. I begin to think about the worst-case scenarios, which has a toll on me emotionally. It can be challenging not focusing on the negative aspects of a situation; some situations can be significant, and others can be of no substantial importance. Overthinking is a weakness I aim to overcome, especially now that I began writing down my thoughts throughout the day. I do not consider myself a negative person, there is plenty of positivity within me. Although I have negative thoughts on certain situations I cannot control, I aim to concentrate on positive traits. Distracting and motivating myself from redundant thoughts has helped me focus on the positive outcomes.
