Ryerson Student Reflection

Letting them know that I am interested in who they are and what their concerns are. It was a way to show them that I care about who they are and that I respect their culture. Taking the time to ask questions and let students ask me questions would depict a mutual respect I would share with my students.

The most important experience that has positively impacted my academic performance is being in AVID for the past 5 years. AVID is an acronym that stands for advancement via individual determination, a college preparatory class that helps prepare you for college, get organized, and set goals. I have been enrolled in AVID since 8th grade learning how to become a better student, improving study skills and the way I communicate with the students and teachers around me.

The fact that ELL student’s are given the exact same educational services provided to native English speaker, seem to be very unfair for the ELL student’s and instead of helping the ELL students to succeed academically we are preventing them from succeeding in their classes. When I was reading this section I couldn’t stop thinking about the video that we saw in class, the student was very smart but the fact that he couldn’t understand the material being taught, this was preventing him from showing how brilliant and smart he is. Just imagine how many brilliant ELL students can’t succeed in class because they don’t understand the language of the instruction.

One of the interesting facts about these videos to me is that University of Phoenix produced and used challenge coin without the approval from the military just to trick veterans to believe that Department of Defense has looked and examined that organization and authorized them in some way to provide them with the

Although this is my second semester at Liberty University I have already completed the APOL and BIBL course which are required for my degree. As this would conclude the required Bible courses, I just hope to gain knowledge of a different aspect of the Bible. From my experience from the classes I have taken with Liberty University this far I realize that knowledge of the Bible is expected and I hope this course sets me up with more tools to complete various assignments. Through my prior courses this past summer I gained a refresher on things which I learned throughout high school and this course is something that I have actually never taken before. With it being new I just hope it brings insight into topics that are current and hopefully I

Over the last two years at the Howard Community College, I have spent truly unforgettable moments with friends and teachers at this amazing community. Initially, I came to Howard Community College to prepare myself for the 4-year university because I was not fully ready for university level academics as I am an international student from Mongolia. Specifically, English was not my strongest subject, therefore, I had to go through the step of community college in order to be ready for 4-year university. Now, I strongly believe that these two years have prepared me both academically and personally for the next chapter of my life. Furthermore, the past years have opened my eyes to a broader spectrum as I am constantly engaging with such diverse

After a hectic first semester at the community college, I began to find myself. I realized that the four-year university I wanted to attend initially, would have not been a good fit for me. Being part of different student organizations and creating connections with my professors at the community college is what helped me find what I was really looking for. I wanted a place where I felt like I mattered and not a school with fifty thousand students where I would just feel like a number. The additional semester I got to stay home, I was able to do more research and find a university where I would fit in and connect with.

The structure of DNP Semester Saturday considers microeconomics, in which my incentives for attending the 8-hours session included earning participation grade, learning new ideas, and having face to face interactions with my classmates and professors. My opportunity cost included not being able to enjoy a beautiful, warm weather witnessed in Georgia after a long time. My economic decision to attend the session directed me to discover three relevant ideas related to economics, including application of theory in a DNP project, emotional intelligence, and the multiplier effect that might have a profound impact on my personal practice world.

I have given quite a few speeches in the last few years, even at such a young age. Though I was proficient when I started this class, I have improved even more in these last six weeks. My strengths definitely fall in my organization and content. However in my delivery I often lack in vocal variety and volume, mostly due to nerves, and I often rushing my conclusions. Due to the rank I have in organizations like the National Honor Society, I will often have to speak in public or address my peers so I plan on continuing to practice for my speeches out loud and hopefully I will improve.

When I started researching Union University, I knew it was a special place. Schools with a seamless integration of Christian faith and academic rigor are few and far between, but I recognized Union as an institution that did. The core values of Union University clearly reflect this integration, and I am confident my time as a student would shape me into a highly competent and devoted Christian nurse.

As we know housing is very important to our universities around the world today and to our very own Old Dominion University . Of course, it’s important to us first-year college students as well as upperclassmen but not as much,because we feel that it 's time to move out. But there are many more reasons why college housing is great and not so great. Living in on-campus housing has it’s perks but, here is the trick we are paying a fortune for it. And we share one room with two others and spacing is not equivalent. Housing rates are extremely high because we are paying for the things that we use. For example the water, lights, electricity, and custodial staff.

On March 24th, 2017, over sixty students and faculty members occupied the administrative building of Mount Allison University, a small liberal arts college on the New Brunswick-Nova Scotia border. After having spent four years navigating the university’s complex governance structure, the students were demanding an open meeting with top administrators to discuss the institution’s investments in the fossil fuel industry. The administration promptly retreated to their offices and locked their doors. After two hours of negotiating with assistants, two student organizers were permitted to meet with President Robert Campbell and the university’s vice-presidents of Student Life and Finance and Administration. After passionately voicing their frustration

We are beginning our 2015-2016 Student of the Month program and would like to offer some information on some changes for this year's program. In the past, student of the month has recognized two students from each grade level and celebrated their success. We would like to extend this recognition to offer EVERY teacher an opportunity to recognize someone from their class whom they deem worthy of the honor.

This is certainly unconventional and I do not intend for this to be a reference, rather to offer a student perspective. References for job applications are appropriately provided by colleagues, however, the main stakeholders are the students. Fostering growth and developing student leadership, are important aspects of this role, therefore I decided to provide a snapshot of ‘student voice’ to show how my strengths and skills, are translated into practice.

As the semester started, I had set my mind that I was destined to achieve a lot. During the start of the semester, I had several difficulties writing English assignments especially in terms of grammar. During the first week of the semester, I sat down, organized my thoughts and comprehended that throughout the semester, I had to achieve all that I had planned for. As a student of English, I had planned that throughout the semester, I had to improve my skills as a scholar, writer and critical thinker. Now that the semester has ended, I can reflect all the semester activities to depict how my writing skills and critical thinking skills have drastically improved. This paper presents a reflection paper of how this
