Reflective Assignment For Initiative 3

The aim of this reflective essay is to evaluate my professional development whilst undertaking the role of the Developing Intra-Operative Practitioner/ Advanced Scrub Practitioner (ASP). Using a reflective model I want to see how my new role affects me as an Operating Department Practitioner (ODP) and any legal implications it has for me as an employee.

One particular activity that I feel has made a difference in the community is my participation in Mini-THON, a student-led philanthropic organization that raises money for research in pediatric cancer and benefits Four Diamonds and Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. I have served as the Junior and Senior Co-Chair, or President, for the past two years, respectively. Each year, my responsibilities have expanded from simply attending meetings and contributing ideas for fundraisers, to actively coordinating meetings and organizing fundraisers with local businesses. For example, our club held our first annual “Teenie-THON” for elementary school students. We spent countless hours creating advertisements and permission slips for the participants.

Once loans are repaid, the money can be used to fund new loans and help more impoverished individuals. Throughout high school I have participated in color guard which has allowed me to strengthen my organizational and leadership skills. I have taken these abilities to arrange the project and inform all members of the opportunity. My presentation skills have greatly improved since the start of this project though the numerous displays of the goals and procedures. To reach all members this year, I plan to attend meeting held by other sponsors for other grade levels to provide a personal announcement of the Kiva Project.

Reflecting on this course over this semester, there have been many lessons learned that will be valuable, as we enter the business world. Our first lesson was to learn to work together, as a team, to prepare a short memo, long memo, letter, and email for use in the business world. This is a lesson that will experience many times as we do our daily work. Punctuation and grammar are so important to present to the client and other organizations that we are professionals. It could mean the loss of a sale or acquiring new business. It’s like dressing for work; looking professional or unprofessional.

We mostly raised money by selling goods, but I was driven to be an example of giving back by providing a good attitude, lessons to inspire kindness, and implemented events. When I realized how much money my ideas made, I couldn't stop innovating new ways to promote our purpose. This drove me to do more which lead me to go speak on television and ask for donations during my chorus concert. As I thanked them, I reminded them how grateful we are to be a part of a community that's bonded together by love. When we reached our goal of $15,000, we used that money to buy a student glasses, send a child to the doctors, bought some clothes for someone in need, etc. Holiday Hope inspired me and taught me how one person could make a huge impact while bringing people

Last year I participated in Dressember. A nationwide project to help raise awareness for human trafficking. Each day of December, participants wear a dress to help spread the word that human trafficking is a prevalent issue in today's society. I would like to host a fundraiser to help raise awareness and donate money to ending modern day slavery. Since we live in such a small town, it's hard to make an impact on the rest of the nation but by doing this project we can help make a difference, starting with our small high school. Another idea I have is to host a competition against sports in each season to raise money to donate to a cause of the teams choosing. By doing this, more people will get involved and each of the teams get to show support for a good cause. There’s so much room for myself and others to grow through being a part of such an amazing student body. Starting with making incoming freshman and students that may not have very many friends feel welcome and appreciated and going all the way to trying to make our world a better

As vice president of my school's NHS chapter, I am an advocate for good causes. Our service project this year is a substantial charitable endeavor. In 1996, a fellow NHS member and friend lost a sibling to SIDS. To assist his family's fight for a cure, our chapter initiated a fundraiser. Tee-shirt sales raised thousands of dollars; a ceremony at a football game advertised our cause to the community; our slogan “Big Steps for Baby Steps” galvanized the school; a partnership with the CJ Foundation for SIDS legitimized our efforts with sponsors. Each of the school's clubs and teams has dedicated itself to the cause. A 5k in May is our culminating event. Uniting an entire school and community behind such a worthy cause is gratifying. The other

We also helped plan and attend various fundraisers at different locations around Gainesville. I helped organize and set up our main event, a walk, to raise money for congenital heart disorders. Furthermore with Kappa Alpha Theta’s philanthropic committee, we planned a capture the flag tournament and dinner to raise money for abused and neglected children. I also had the opportunity to plan and attend a senior citizen prom for a community service club in high school. I had the duty of helping to invite various assisted living homes around the community, setting up venue ,and advertising the event.

Initially, I would like to talk a little about my role in the fundraising project and then mention about how OB concepts played a role in the completion. My role in the project was Purchasing and Procurement Officer and as the name suggests, this was a very demanding job and highly respected by all my peers. This position was very significant for me that, I cannot emphasize enough how much it is going to help me in my field of studies and possibly my career. Being part of the “Basketball Shootout”, my biggest challenge was to get desirable gifts for the participants and making sure it did not cross the projected budget. In order for me to do the job very efficiently, I had to use my networking skills and track

I am a student in the Masters of Science in Information Security and Assurance at Western Governors University. I am currently working on my Capstone Project. The capstone project deals with a significant real world business problem that integrates the component of the degree. I have chosen to do my project on how blockchain technology can improve banking and cross-border payment system. I my project I am interested in implementing the ripple payment system using BaaS platform in Azure I my scenario: “ Bank of the People” (fictitious) With 10 billion in assets and process about 12 billion in cross-border transactions a year. I need to know the following for a cost analysis in the three models that Earthport offers financial institutions

If I were to implement this plan I am determined to start by brainstorming ideas for a good fundraiser for example a lemonade stand,

The whole experience of working on my Capstone Project Proposal has been a challenge, but great learning opportunity. There are so many aspects and factors that play major roles in research that I had no idea existed. Through this entire project I have been able to understand the hard work put into nursing research and the importance of nursing research. According to Thorne (2016), “we need to repeatedly remind ourselves that the purpose of nursing research is not simply to do it, but rather to use it in the service of our mission on behalf of society” (p. 763). The complex problems of health, as well as, the health care system, are continually evolving in the world (). According to Throne (2016), it is up to our generation to utilize tools and methods to study and expand knowledge so that

In the management 100 class, students are expected to do a Community Engagement Volunteer project in which a group of students work with one of many non profit organizations around Clark University. Our group consisted of five members including Emilee Cocuzzo, Siddhartha Dogra, Wurood Mandawi, Ricardo Carrillo, and Trung Ngo, and we worked together to organize a Bingo and a Bake and Sale Night fundraiser for the Main Street YMCA teenagers to go on a college trip in the summer of 2016. We began working as soon as the day when our group was formed. We were given very clear instructions from our professor about how to go about the whole project. We were first asked to select an organization which all of us were interested in working with. During

Raising money for the Rally for the Jimmy Fund over the last few weeks has been an eye-opening experience into both the world of fundraising for charity as well as in professional sales. Getting out into the real world and applying skills from classroom that were still fresh in your mind was a far better learning experience than weekly homework assignments. The Jimmy Fund is a charity that does a great job branding and making its presence known so convincing people to donate was less of telling them about the product and more getting them to open up their wallets and actually make a donation. As the weeks progressed and we began to learn more and more about selling it became much easier to speak with people and get my point across about

The fundraiser sole purpose is to raise money for a program that is located in Nicaragua. This country is the second poorest in the western hemisphere, where ninety percent of the population is poverty stricken due to the political and environmental barriers that keep them. This aims toward generational poverty. For many of the youth living in these conditions there is a lack of attention towards these young individuals and this could potentially lead to a bad life. Programs that provide the youth a safe place to develop as health community members is something that exists but are scarce - especially living in a poor country. The specific program that I volunteered to raise money for a circus troupe at El Nido. The troupe teaches and mentors children about the circus arts. Every summer, the troupe goes on a tour called, “El Tour de Las Sonrisas”, where teachers and children perform for the community, bringing smiles all around. The main
