I have learned various things during my academic career that have been extremely useful in my non-academic career. I honestly feel that I have grown in many different areas especially in my oral communication and media technology. During the summer I volunteered as a Volunteer Youth Coordinator at Northern Illinois Food Bank. I completed various tasks and projects that included, organizing programs and event, creating flyers and advertisements, internal blogging, data tracking, and conducting orientations. I was lucky to be able to do such a good job that they offered me an internship during this current school year as a Volunteer Engagement Intern. This would have not been possible if I did not push myself in school and learn all those different key skills. I am very thankful that I can say I have come a long way from where I was years ago.
I am a natural shy person depending on the situation. In high school I never worried much about it since the people in my classes were the same from previous years. Once I transitioned to college I became really reserved since I worked and went to school full time. I felt like I did not have time to socialize or become invested in anything other than my school work, which made my oral communication suffer. After the first year

During my time at Waubonseee I wrote mostly MLA style papers that covered and expanded the general studies I learned in high school. Once I transition to Aurora University, that’s where I began to focus on APA style and was able to produce writing content that focused on major humanitarian issues. I have been able to focus more on analytical and scholarly writing during my time at Aurora University, which has given me the freedom to invest my time in political issues that I am passionate about. I still have trouble when it comes to proper structure and grammar spelling but luckily there is outside help that I can always count
This unit does not introduce much new material. Instead, we expect you to integrate technical and theoretical knowledge acquired from study across your degree. We refer to two frameworks that may support you in carrying out this integration:
I have also operated as part of a team, for example AUQA audits, scholarship allocations, and large IT projects. Having spent most of my career working in schools and faculties I am well versed in dealing with students, general and academic staff and central units. These include timetabling, graduation, prizes and scholarships, and student and academic administration. I have also provided support to academic staff as required, for example in invigilating assessment items (including online assessment), developing course and subject proposals, reviewing Turn It In reports for potential plagiarism, and enabling advanced Blackboard
The one idea that drew me to a liberal arts college was the ability to take a wide breadth of classes from all disciplines. I hope to receive not just facts and memorization out of my education, but applications to other subjects and even daily activities. A prominent example of this is my potential major, physics. To prepare for an eventual career in the scientific field, this semester I am pursuing research in physical oceanography. Also, I joined the physics club in order to extend my learning outside the classroom, in addition to using this club as an opportunity to seek out like-minded individuals who also share a passion for science.
This essay is a reflective essay on my learning development from a young age through to my current position as a University Student. I will be relating my learning development back to two theories of human development, Vygotstsky’s socio-cultural theory and Marcia’s version of Erikson’s theory of identity development. I will identify and discuss the challenge I have faced with my identity and how this has impacted on my development.
Vital signs are a fundamental component of nursing care and indicate the body’s ability to maintain blood flow, regulate temperature and regulate oxygenate the body tissue. Taking vital signs are essential in revealing any sudden changes in the body, which could potentially indicate clinical deterioration of the patient.
I received an acceptance from a US MD school during the 2013-2014 cycle. However, as an international student, I was required to deposit all four years’ worth of tuition in an escrow account prior to matriculation, which I was unable to do. While I was aware of the escrow requirement prior to application, I was on track to obtain permanent residency during the application year per my immigration attorney, which would excuse me from this requirement. However, given the uncertain nature of the residency process, this did not, and is yet to, happen. My family and I had recently immigrated from India, and coming up with the escrow amount was impossible at that time. Loans were also only available on a yearly cadence, not for all four years at once.
The dreaded English 102. Could this be my final English course in my career as a student? I don’t know for sure. I still need to decide what my major will be in. There is something that I know for sure, that is, needing to take this class to move on. I am not certain how my time in this class will go, but I plan to work hard to get the best grade that I can. Hence, I have decided to get this out of the way now, I look to fine-tune my writing skills, and I expect this course to help me understand my writing style.
I do believe that Bethel University is a great place to learn about technology and a new a of life. Personal, I find myself using a whole new programs and devices I have never heard of before.
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.
My progress on the essay dramatically increased after deciding to proceed after my shaky start. The paragraphs began to flow and the essay began to take form. I wrote about how my experiences with my both my school's rifle team and of the staff of a hospital I had visited, helped me form my career goals. I was highly pleased with the body of the essay, but I realized that the introduction was unacceptable and that I failed to support my thesis. Two of my former English teachers and my online course instructor all gave me the same advice on how to fix it, start over with a new introduction.
Moving to Texas to pursue my undergraduate studies in the premedical sciences was not an easy transition for me. I had many plans concerning for my premedical coursework but had to make sacrifices that prevented me from being the student I strived for. I lived with my single mother during my undergrad years. She worked multiple jobs to be able to sustain me during college. Despite all her hard work, I still could not afford resources that would facilitate my learning during undergrad. For instance, many of my peers had access to the best textbooks and most could afford tutoring sessions for added knowledge benefits. However, it wasn’t until my mother fell sick due to the stress of working many hours that led to my decline in grades. She suffered
My entire life I have been naturally gifted in science, excelling in a variety of classes including biology, chemistry, and physics. As a senior, I took Advanced Placement Environmental Science and earned an A. That class sparked my adoration for environmental science and greatly influenced my choice of majors for college.
During my freshman year of undergraduate school, I received a D in general chemistry. I felt uncomfortable asking for help when I did not understand the material and was easily intimated by the abundance of upperclassmen in the course. I did not properly utilize the TA sessions or office hours from the professors. Because I did not have a strong foundation in general chemistry, I continued to struggle throughout my chemistry courses, receiving D’s in Organic Chemistry I and II. I felt shameful and embarrassed about my poor grades, and that self-imposed stigma followed me throughout my undergraduate career, and to some extent graduate school. When I retook Organic Chemistry II, I earned an A by studying more diligently and frequenting my
