Reflective Report

Every participant should be clear about expectations and intentions of the group and about what is expected from her/him.

I have been a Resident Assistant (RA) for about five weeks. Training to be a RA was tiring but very educational. I learned how to handle multiple situations that could happen with me being RA. After training, it was a series of task that I had to complete as a RA. Those task included: completing forty-four Room Inventory Form, putting in fix it tickets, etc.

During the event I took on the jobs of speaking at the presentation and discussing Business Studies with the attendees; leading up to the event my tasks consisted of putting together and adding my teams parts of the project plan, identifying the risks around the school, planning and creating a troubleshooting booklet and so on. When taking Belbin’s questionnaire to find out what role I would play in a team I was an Implementer and Completer/Finisher. I think that this was clear in my jobs both before the event and during the event. For both my tasks on the evening and

The CFYE student employee retreat is time spent interacting with fellow students and learning some of the small but important aspects of being a student leader. In general, the main idea of the weekend and what I learned was the importance and the value of teamwork. In many of my other activities, I relied on group interaction and sometimes teamwork but it was not always the main focus. The course of events over this trip were all designed to help understand, develop and foster teamwork. The events and activities, I feel, developed gradually over the course of the days starting with smaller groups interactions and working towards larger and all-inclusive interactions. When the day started, we were instructed to meet our fellow student employees

So far, our group has admittedly had some issues with evenly distributing responsibility. On many occasions, meetings which were essential to the development of our ICP had only been attended by half of the members, without any indication from the other two that they would not be able to make it. This failure of participation has made it relatively difficult to

In regards to general leadership, there were many events that were offered for our members.

As the Vice President of Leadership Bianca’s biggest project was College Completion week. She single handedly designed a music week that would be combined with our C4 week in order to attract a larger audience. Throughout this week students were encouraged to complete their college degrees while local artists from our community gained exposure by performing on our campus. The week of events proved to have a major impact on students and the guest who participated because many of them found the passion to pursue their goals and dreams.

My most challenging concern is finding a place to implement my Capstone project. I thought about using my local library, but getting nurses to come maybe a problem. Right now I am on medical leave from my hospital, therefore I cannot get the hospital involve. My potential resources are my two friends that have experience in teaching. One friend is a nursing instructor and another friend once taught in a LPN nursing program. Most of my nursing jobs required me to talk to a large group of people during our interdisciplinary team meetings. I had to discuss patients’ cases with the interdisciplinary team. In my class, as a part of a teaching exercise, I want to talk about documented case studies regarding culture and have students talk about

My professional and volunteer responsibilities have been in event planning and fundraising. Ten years ago, I began volunteering as a student member of my high school Key Club. Over the years, I have continued to serve with the Carolinas District of Key Club as an adult board member. The Key Club events have exposed me numerous aspects of event planning such as banquet orders, stage layouts, registrations, logistics, and more, and am proud to say I was able to manage these tasks successfully on a non-profit budget. These events ranged in size and length from one-day training sessions to weekend conventions.

The purpose of this memo is to evaluate my progress and also my group as a whole. It is important that our progress as a whole has made a difference since the first progress report. Since the first progress report, there has been a lot of improvement as a whole.

My enrollment in school has familiarized me with timed writing before. Through my progression in the education system my experience with timed writing gave me practice and made me more comfortable with it. However, there are still areas where my writing needs improving. Being able to write proficiently in a timed environment requires a lot more practice than I have had. Nonetheless the WPJ practice assignment is a means for me to improve the quality of my writing. I will use it to determine my strengths and weaknesses as a writer along with analyzing the challenges I faced during the process of the timed writing.

While many of my peers stressed and sighed over having to complete this assignment, I looked forward to it. During this activity, I was able to experience first hand how diverse our campus is, I was able to tour the college, and most importantly, this activity required me to step out of my comfort zone and further strengthen my ability to interact with others. I took advantage of the resources available and participated in all of the workshops, events, and presentations I had the opportunity to. In brief, all events I attended were beneficial, yet by far, my favorite, and the most memorable, was Cookies and Current Events. Attending this event allowed me to have a better look at what is happening in the world around me. It allowed me to see different issues and events, issues many, including myself, due to busy lifestyle and hectic schedule, didn’t even realize are occurring. Completing my G.P.S requirement enabled me to become a more diverse person, it was influential to the utmost extent. I truly enjoyed attending the events and being able to experience everything Florida SouthWestern State College has to

I worked with people I have never knew and with instruments I have never used. However, my own skills and knowledges helped me to overpass those obstacles. Communication was very important so I started to talk with my team to build a nice environment between us, and the instruments were new to me so I asked the staff how to use them and how could I make it faster. This event helped everyone to developed communication and teamwork skills. The alumni need more events like the FMSC where the community is obligated in some way to put in practice the abilities they have learned in school. I liked how everyone was being challenged and learning from mistakes because only with challenges and mistakes you can

As we kept putting things in order, the event day gradually came. And we went to the venue the night before just to get the every little detail in order. We fixed the sound systems, decorated the place with balloons wiped off the chairs and did all the little trimmings. On the actual day of the event, we arrived at the venue very early and started waiting on the participants and the guests to arrive but unfortunately, most people were late due to traffic on the roads. Gradually, the attendance started picking up and the event started. We began with a break out session where the resource persons spoke to the participants in little groups. After the break out session, there was the personality test part where everybody took a test to determine their personality types. After the test, the participants were grouped according to their personality types and each group had a resource person talk to them about their career options and give them some tips to be successful.

Month three aims to intrigue the local community into taking note of EAD’s community values. We decided to organise a fundraiser for the neglected Wellington Rooms in the centre of Liverpool. We chose to support its renovation as EAD solicitors are passionate about property and development law. Celebrities are an important part of a pseudo-event (Redmond, 2014) and I thought it was a good idea to invite Claire Simmo, a local Radio City DJ and local personality to attend the event. She would be an attraction at the event, emphasising on the relationship between celebrity and the media. Overall, we considered the result of having a varied mix attending, including those in the property development sphere and local people, meant the company would have the opportunity to network on a business level. Research into recent articles written by The Echo demonstrates their interest in historic Liverpool buildings. Therefore, there would be many reasons for the media to be attracted to the event and marketing the company on a larger scale. We could have followed the Dowson and Bassett (2014) Event-Planning Model which includes all of the tasks that are considered to be ‘essential’ when planning an event’. See figure 1.
