Scaling Reflection Paper

I also saw a lot of flags, which inspired me to draw the flag of Ghana and digitally display it, so I went back to the drawing board. After I went out to the main exhibit, I stood at the wall waiting for my leaf. I decided to look around the rest of the 270 degree wall for my leaf. After five minutes of waiting, another visitor stood beside me searching for her leaf as well. After 10 minutes passed, I decided to accept that my leaf was not coming anytime soon and it was the last part of the exhibit that I had to experience anyway. I could tell there were still bugs in the system, so I thanked the guides and headed back to the L’ Enfant metro station to go home. I initially planned on going twice that week, but I think I saw everything I need to see the first time.

The Road to Brown tells the story of the millions of nameless blacks who faced devastating hardships caused by Jim Crow, which simply robbed them of the rights granted by the 14th and 15th Amendments. Under the "separate but equal" doctrine of the Supreme Court's 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision, black citizens were denied the right to vote, to attend white schools, to be buried in white cemeteries, etc. Those who objected were liable to be lynched. The era of Jim Crow provoked men such as, Charles Houston to fight back for those who were unable.

During my research, I came across a bill, S.Res.230 - A resolution designating September 25, 2015, as "National Lobster Day". The Subjects: S.Res.230 — 114th Congress (2015-2016). The bill was Introduced by Junior Sen. Angus King an Independent, on July 27th, 2015. Under Agriculture and Food, the policy area is Animal. Committee, Senate and Judiciary.

For my community government participation, I will be going over a few democratic instances from a LTCC Board of Trustees meeting. These instances come from the meeting of Tuesday, September 26, 2017. To start off, the meeting included two examples of how the opinion of the people are heard at the board meetings. First, Marta Sternal, the International Student Program Coordinator, discussed to the board the update with ISP. More importantly, international students were able to answer questions about their experiences being in Tahoe. Each one had a special story and a testament to the ISP and how it was creating a positive impact in students lives. As Student Trustee, it is always very special for me to see students personally address the board that makes policies about the college. The direct communication is a great example of how the voice of the students are valued and included. This meeting was important for another reason, a reason that affects thousands of students without their citizenship living in America. The board approved standing with the California Community College Chancellor's Office to denounce the decision to end the DACA program. As Student Trustee, my position allows for me to bridge the gap between the students and the board, bringing the student voice into policy decisions for our local college. This was the first time being Trustee where I was able to reach out to students about this important decision, asking them for their opinion about this important decision. Since I am in this position, I have a glimpse of how a Trustee position functions in Congress. Of course, this is a very wide leap, comparing Student Trustee with a Senator, but I

On November 30, I attended a lecture occurred in the Music Room in Plant Hall given by Carly M. Hilinski-Rosick. She got her Ph.D. degree at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2007, and currently, she’s an assistant professor in the criminology and criminal justice department at UT. Since this lecture was presented by UT Honors Symposia, the audience was mainly made up of UT honors students. Although I arrived ten minutes early on that day, there were only a few seats left. Fortunately, I found one in a good position which could both see the screen and listen to the professor clearly. Because desks were not provided in that room, in order to take notes, most of the students brought their laptops instead of notebooks. As more students

Scale is a very important factor when mapping crime. If one is conducting a city-wide crime study, then only the main streets are important and need visualized as too much on the map will cause the map to be cluttered and the observer will lose focus on the true purpose (Paynich & Hill, 2013). However, on a neighbor scale the residential streets, alleys, landmarks, and abandoned buildings are going to be much more important than the main roadways (Paynich & Hill, 2013). A city scale map may show what areas in the city need to be concentrated or show crime trends within the city as a whole, while the neighborhood scale map will show investigators or police officers specific houses or areas within a neighborhood to target. It also shows

Table 5.5 explains each goals and objectives corresponding to each division within the COP unit. The measure of effectiveness assesses the performance needed for each division to perform their task in accomplishing the objectives. The data above recreated the 5 precincts that will partake in this pilot program to generate the reasoning for community policing. Based on the five-year crime rate provided by CompStat reporting corresponding to the total population of the precinct confinement, the average crime rate is above the total’s city crime rate, which is reported for 8 million residents an average of 15.58% per 1,000. Looking at the 5-year average of crime index of a population per 1,000, the average is equal or above the city’s population.

In terms of sales and marketing, we adapted our strategy based on how the products played in each segment. Our strategy was to spend efficiently in marketing & sales to keep the customer awareness and accessibility high for the premium products, while maintaining a decent level of awareness and accessibility in other segments.

I choose to do my discussion on “The Yellow Paper” because of the meaning and core values behind it. Being a feminist it was a story that I could relate to and it drew me in immediately. In the past woman’s opinions and ideas were highly disregarded. The ideally were married, stayed in the home to clean, cook, and taking care of their children. I feel like this piece strongly represented this era and that woman were highly aware of constraints put on them based off of their gender. I loved the idea that it was all about individual growth and that just because you have a partner does not mean you should stop that growth. The messages she portrayed in this short story are profound to not only her era but ours as well.

When it comes to religion, I generally find myself averting the subject and the pews within my center of faith. Yet in the months post moving to El Paso, I find my faith being encouraged and enriched. Surprisingly finding myself inspired by the writing of Reverend John Stowe. So, inspired that I chose to take part in the Border Mass offered this past weekend. Conceptualizing my attendance as way to increase my understandings and competences associated with the peoples, culture, and beliefs here on the borderland.

Stopping the sleepless nights is what I have gained from this class. The two books Untethered Soul and Resisting happiness have allowed me to find my confidence and allowed me to love myself. This is my last year as an undergrad and I am will be applying to graduate school soon. The thought of this has been driving me crazy. I didn’t even see how much negative thoughts I had started to take in. These two books allowed me to not only be conscious of what I am doing and thinking but also provided me ways to improve the quality of life. This class was not only a spiritual journey but also has been an emotional and intellectual journey.

The feedback I received from my peers and instructor throughout this process was very constructive and optimistic. I was encouraged to revamp my thesis by avoiding the statement “the purpose of this paper” along with including why rounding is so important and how the barriers are affecting its success. It was suggested I combine two paragraphs and rearrange others in different areas of the paper. Professor Waltham together with my fellow recommended some editing along with fixing grammatical errors.

As children, our minds are filled with wonder and imagination, allowing pieces of art such as books, cartoons, or movies to influence us starting at a very young age. It was no different for myself as I was growing up as many pieces of art contributed to how I thought about things; none more so than the Transformers Universe.

As a photography major, it was never clear to me on why I had to take a drawing class. I dreaded each class because of the known fact that I didn’t possess the skills to be a good drawer. When speaking to friends and family, I would always complain to them saying, “I’m going to fail this class. I have no idea why I have to take these drawing classes.” As the quarter went on and the more I learned about the different drawing techniques such as the use of lighting to create interesting shadows or the use of color to create a sense mood and emotion, I began to realize the parallels that drawing and photography have.

Over the course of the semester, I have been fortunate enough to work with a student who is having difficulties when it comes to reading. My student does not have difficulties when it comes to hearing a word, but rather when he sees a word. My student has definitely benefited from one on one work with me as well as the additional help he’s getting from the reading specialist during their WIN (what I need) time. My student does not like to read because he knows that he is struggling and he is embarrassed about it. When my student goes to his WIN time, he does really well because the instruction is at his level and there are only two other students who are also on the same level there as well. Besides the current intervention, programs I would recommend are Direct Instruction: Reading Mastery, Letter Spacing, Wilson Reading System and the Lindamood program (LiPS).
