I am Jolayne Killeen. I am 17 and a junior at Coon Rapids High School. I have a few hobbies that I do quite often one of them being playing the piano. I have been interested in the piano since second grade when we had a para come in and tell us all about specific activities that were available for elementary students. I raced right home to tell my mom about the news I had heard at school. She was just as excited as I was when I told her. She then made it her duty to find me a piano teacher and since then I have switched my instructors but my love and passion has remained the same. My mom noticed how fascinated i was with music and art but most importantly creativity. She thought that theatre would be right up my alley. I was then signed up …show more content…
I really feel english A 11 only scratched the surface of this worlds accomplishments in written works. Some strengths that i have is my ability to be creative in this class just like i said earlier i have always had a creative mind. Another one of my strengths was that If i am interested in the topic i am able to pick up almost every detail about the issue we are learning. Just like i have strengths i also have weaknesses. One weakness would include that i am not a fast reader. I actually find it hard to read for a long period of time and staying focused on the text. My mind seems to wander and i can not remember what i was reading. I do know that is something i can work through though so i continue to try harder and my best. I think what i need the most help with understanding different words because that is another one of my weaknesses. I do not understand all the words in the world just like most people but when taking test if i don't understand what a word means it can be difficult for me to answer the question. If it is okay i would like to be able to ask those kind of questions when taking test. The kind of teaching style that is more helpful i feel is hands on and asking frequent questions so i get a variety of different answers or views in my head. This only works though if the answers are similar so i do not get to confused. I also like …show more content…
My only goal in life is to feel like i gave my all in everything i do. Saying this you can expect great things from me academically wise. Of course i will have my trouble with certain topics so i hope this is understandable. I for the most part if the activity is explained well will have no problem doing the work and getting it done. You can also expect me to turn work in on time because i know it is disrespectful to make you grade one more paper or sheet of hw when you already finished others. In class to find success i will pay attention and if i'm having a bad morning i will do my best to not let it affect my learning. Most importantly to find success i will participate in class so i can be apart of the classroom environment and i feel participating really helps me learn best. Since i try very hard in school the ideal grade for I would be an A of course i will not be to disappointed if it's a little bit below. An A though is the grade i desire for english. If i keep doing the habit i do to be a good student i believe this is how i will reach the grad of an A. If i do fall behind and see a lack in my work i would like you as the teacher to kindly address it and get me back on track. I will do all i can to be a great student in english 11 B. From an early age i have been interested in exciting hobbies like the piano and the performing arts. I have done decent in school and hoped to keep learning interesting topics. I
The end of the semester is approaching quickly and you can see “light at the end of the tunnel.” The final assignment is a self-reflection essay on what you learned during the semester in ENG 111. There were three other essay assignments. The first one was called a literacy narrative, the second one, a single source essay, and the third one, a multi-source essay. But how can I write about things I do not understand? I had never taken an online class before, much less, a class that required so much reading and writing. This is a college level course and I am just a junior in high school. I was clueless about writing a paper in a format and I possessed no knowledge of a works cited page. So, what did I learn? First of all,
The strong leader recognizes that an important part of information management is reflection. This self-assessment should include personal biases, desires, and preferences. Looking past personal perspectives and reviewing the data within the context out of which it arises deepens the objectivity and clarity with which the leader can observe and assess the data. Critical components that should be carefully accommodated in this reflective self-assessment are: personal biases, current mental models, individual needs, past practices, self-fulfilling expectations, wish listing and prescriptive deliberation. As for my personal biases, I have learned over the years that they are very good yardsticks for me to look at an issue and to know clearly how I feel about it, but I have always known what I think and what I feel are often different than my colleagues and my patients. I use this to keep my mind open to others whose views are different than mine and I use them to approach and analyze situations, but never to influence the decisions or behavior of others. A specific example is that of a woman’s right to choose: I am anti-abortion for myself as a woman but I support safe health care for all women. Current mental models vary from facility to facility and evolve over time. My career has spanned 34 years and I too have evolved during this time. Today, I feel I am working in much more of a collegial culture and one which is at least attempting to embrace diversity
The areas of productiveness in this session for me included the paraphrasing and minimal encouragers. Throughout this session I felt that my paraphrasing was clear and concise. It allowed the client to think about what he had said, while being able to provide me with feedback and allowed for the conversation to flow naturally.
I chose to base my studies on J because we shared a lot in common; we are both Christians living in a predominantly Muslim country. He is eleven years old. His parents are Jordan nationals who have lived in Bahrain for at least two years. J goes to school at Naseem International School where I work. The school offers PYP programs. Lessons are conducted in English; however, Arabic lessons are also offered per week. Majority of kids in this school are Muslims most of whom are Bahrainis. Other nationalities making the student population are Saudis, Lebanese, Jordanians, few South Africans, and other Arabian Gulf countries. Teachers are a mixture of nationalities. Some of them are Arabs, others South Africans, while some are Europeans.
The purpose of this assignment is to self-reflect on what has been learnt in the topic this semester and how it is going to influence as a health professional in our chosen field. This assessment is made to encourage us to be able to identify the values and beliefs we have as individuals and how these impact on our ability to interact without others in a diverse society. This self-reflection will include the results from an Implicit Association Test to help gain a greater awareness of my own unconscious thoughts as well as evidence from reliable sources to help back up statements and give evidence to support this assessment.
During the self reflective assessment from module 3, I realized that the biases I identified were as a result of not clearly understanding the roles and responsibilities of other professionals. I mostly see other professionals come to my unit to provide care to patients with limited interaction to other nurses. If I am not the nurse caring for a specific patient who is being seen by another healthcare professional on my unit, it is very difficult to interact and know some of their roles and responsibilities. Even though, I might have an idea of some roles of other healthcare professionals, I will love to have an in-depth understanding of their responsibilities and roles. I think the same scenario applies to nursing. There are so many roles
Discuss specific ways in which your leadership accomplishments and service activities have resulted in major change or lasting service to the university or to the community.
I became very sick during the first few weeks of Spring quarter. The week I got sick I had three midterms and I believed I had enough knowledge on the subjects to pass my tests. I couldn't have been more wrong and I did very poorly on my exams. After this happened, I should have contacted my professors for extra help, or even should have contacted them while I was sick to maybe take the tests another time. I regret that I didn't do any of this. After receiving my grades from Spring, I really changed up my work habits and study habits during my summer course at UCSD, and I'm currently enrolled on an online course for UCLA where I carried these habits over. I will do the same when Fall quarter begins at UCSB. I have pushed myself to do better and challenged myself to do things that necessarily don't make me feel comfortable, but is for my own good.
One of the hardest things to do is to figure out who you are as a person. For a long time I thought I knew who I was. My parents taught me to be selfless and kind despite what others do to me. I lived a life sheltered from the harsh truth that sometimes being kind all the time leaves the door open for someone to walk all over you. The people that showed me this side of the world were none other than the girls I called my best friends. After that, I learned a little something about myself and something that I could teach other people. I learned about being confident in myself and that standing up for yourself makes you a stronger person,
You make some interesting point in your post this week. I believe that EMR can make charting easier, however, this is dependent on the system your organization uses and the tools built into the system. It was told to me that my organization bought the lower version of EPIC. Having not seen the advanced system, I can truly say it would be easier but that is what was told to me by someone who works for EPIC. Our former system, Picis, allowed for more detailed charting and was easier on the eyes.
I would express my feelings towards reading and writing as ambivalent. Before I entered high school I would have not even
In this week’s workshop (three), I felt as though I did a lot better than the workshop from the week before. Looking back at how I conducted myself last week, I really struggled to even just keep the counseling session conversation running smoothly. However, this week I felt as though I improved on the areas of my weaknesses.
The FOCUS self assessment helped me visualize what my learning strengths and weaknesses are. Seeing my strengths and weaknesses laid out in an organized list helps me realize what areas I excel in, as well as the areas I do poorly in.
On behalf of my mother, KathleenTarburton, I would like to provide a family member statement regarding her previous downgraded assessment to her Personal Independence Payment.
Before taking this course my writing styles and habits were very different. I was the typical procrastinator because I would wait until the night before a paper was due to start it. This did not allow me enough time to properly proofread everything, which resulted in getting points deducted for simple grammatical errors that could have been avoided if I would have had the time to proofread. My writing styles have many strengths and weaknesses and I have been able to improve my writing because of them. I have learned from my strengths and weaknesses how to become a better writer.
