Teacher’s Assistant, OCC: Being a teacher’s assistant in a biological course allowed me to brush up on my knowledge as well as help me understand the concepts from a new perspective. Observing and helping the students also expand my background knowledge of the subject.

Taught dynamic lab discussions and instruction with up to 100 students per session and tutored students individually and in groups outside of class time to improve their knowledge set and promoted self-motivation

UIC is an incredibly diverse community with a plethora of different people across the country attending this school. However, even though UIC accepts a wide range of students from different backgrounds many have come from title 1 low income schools where they have faced adversity either because of their race or financial status. I have had an experienced with both. My family used to live in a small town near St. Louis called Collinsville, a town that consists of mainly Caucasian whites. In my school, I was 1 out of the 4 only Hispanics in the whole school. A lot of times many teachers told my parents that I wasn’t able to strive for success due to my background, that I learned Spanish instead of English first and in other subjects because my

The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the contribution of reflective practice for clinical nursing. Reflection has been defined as a way for individuals to “capture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate” (Boud et al 1985: 19)

Working as a lab assistant at Oregon Health and Science University has also strengthened my determination to go to pharmacy school. Researchers sometimes often ask me for help with their research procedures such as growing the cells for experiments, doing maxi-preps, and helping making media. I was so eager to learn that I asked many questions and listened attentively as they answered my questions. It is wonderful to apply things I learned in school to hands on experiments at OHSU. With my humble contribution, researchers were able to devote more of their time to other parts of their

Through my prior experiences, I have learned a large variety of skills, some of which include attention to detail, communication skills, and leadership. At UCSD Movement Disorders Center I was exposed to patient paperwork with sensitive information. Editing patient videos, I learned to recognized and distinguish small nuances in similar neurodegenerative diseases. I quickly learned the basics of the tests for neurodegenerative tests and why they do those tests. While the work was repetitive, I could develop ways to efficiently move through the work with precision. At UCSD I was learned how to speak up if I was unsure about what I was looking at, and by communicating with my supervisor in this way I learned much more than if I had stayed

Labs are utilized by classes to reinforce and provide hands on knowledge of concepts and

This paper has forced me to dig deeper into the thought of my career and the school I chose. For me to find more information on Psychology I used many resources to help me pave the way to be successful. I am interested in pursuing my goal at North Carolina Central University in the fall of 2019. The information that I found helped me make the decision of attending the school. Since I was not able to visit the school I took an online virtual tour and found that the garden is one of the most peaceful places on campus. Watching some of the videos on the NCCU website really helped me learn more about the life of a student at NCCU and the struggles that some students face. The interviews that were required for this paper was a great help. I learned

As a freshman I really value this opportunity to meet new people and gain professional experience and leadership skills. However, I’m most excited about being able to be apart of creating change at UT. I wanted to attend UT my entire life, I was so sure about my decision I only applied to one school, now that I’m here it would be wonderful to help better UT during my time on the forty

A defining experience in my life occurred during the summer following my first year of high school. I had the opportunity to travel with several members of my church youth group to the city of San Salvador, El Salvador. Our purpose was to serve the community and the orphanage at which we were staying. I did not realize at the time that what I learned on that missions trip would change me. It would change everything about me, and it would affect me for the rest of my life. This monumental experience is the experience which I believe will have the greatest impact on my academic work and goals at CCU, and there are several reasons why. Every morning of the trip, we designated approximately an hour to spend reading the bible and communing with

There was a sort of unspoken competition as to who could find the “grossest” place in the school, so most groups went straight to the toilets, or to the handrails, but my lab partner and I took a different route. We decided to swab the teacher’s copy room copier, and much to our surprise when we came back the next day our petri dish had by far won the competition. This particular lab completely swayed me to realize I wanted to study biology, because although I was always that biology nerd every school has, I couldn’t picture myself studying it in college. When I realized that i was genuinely excited to go to school the next day to see how our results turned out, and that I was even more excited to learn about the bacteria and eventually viruses themselves, I realized that I wanted to learn about these things in much more depth than a high school course could cover. I never had this experience in any other class, and I still get excited from learning about . I chose to study biology in college because it will constantly spark curiosity and thought in

This program focuses specifically on the most relevant and imminently pressing categories: introducing the teaching role through policy orientation; training to be an ethical and authoritative figure in the classroom through pedagogical learning and self-examination; building a positive self-image by way of peer-review and peer-led discussions; preparing to establish and reinforce safety culture by drawing on lessons from lab accidents at several higher educational institutions; and establishing an open and supportive scholastic teaching and learning environment through a variety of community social activities. Due to the current GTA demographics, an appreciable percentage of teaching assistants are international GTAs. We also embrace the challenge of addressing the issues of diversity in GTA training, including language and cultural barriers.

After applying to UNM medical school in 2015 and getting an interview, it looked like I was a feet away from achieving my goal. However, I found out that I was waitlisted which gave me some hope that I am still in the race. I was constantly checking my email hoping that I made it. It was June 22 when suddenly I was on number two on the waitlist and felt like I was inches away. Being that close to something I have always wanted and not getting it was the most painful thing I have ever endured. I was so discharge that I stopped working on myself, and got to the point that I was days away from being homeless. However the experience gave me a new perspective in life. I have more understanding and connection with people who are going through hard

Tutoring these courses including six other biology and chemistry courses, highlights my proficiency in this competency.I acquired this competency by completing over 10 laboratory sections for different sciences course, including physics, biology, and chemistry. As a paramedic instructor, I also have experience conducting laboratory skill stations for students. These laboratory stations consist of a variety of procedure and assessment
