Spirit Club Reflection

I found the presentation very interesting that Mikka seemed fairly comfortable with us and she knew what she was saying. She was not what I expected I thought of an older woman who would be boring and I was grateful it was not Mikka made sure that we were paying attention by getting us to participate in the multiple choice questions and throat singing. I thought the presentation was very informative and personal. It was great how she made it personal because it made me want to go up and tell her “you guys do not deserve this, I am sorry you had to go through this”, I also wanted to learn how she coped with her ancestors. I liked the presentation, but I did not like the past. When she told her story about her father, I was trying so hard not

I feel that Anne Fadiman narrated the story of Lia Lee’s and her family’s life in intimate and tragic detail. The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down is a poignant depiction of the struggle between loving parents, hard-working medical professionals, and a very precious child caught in the middle of a tug-of-war. Ms. Fadiman very distinctly illustrates how the collision of two cultures indirectly led to the demise of a little seven- year old girl.

The Unlikely Hero of Room 13b in my eyes is a stupendous book that expresses many emotions that eventually rubbed off onto me. Just to give a visual, this novel is about a group of OCD young adults that try to “get fixed”, as they say. In the meantime Chuck, the therapist for the bunch decides to make each one of the members to mentally become a superhero. Immediately as this project starts Robyn a new student chooses to be Robin as her superhero, and Adam another student who already knows they are soul mates decides to be Robyn’s Batman.

Though newspaper I met older students, many of whom are still my mentors and some of my closest friends. Being in journalism, pushed me far out of my comfort zone. I have interviewed everyone from the janitor responsible for the first floor restrooms to the superintendent. I have given presentations to audiences of over three hundred people. I have planned field trips, meetings, and interviews. The Heritage Journalism Department has shaped me into the leader

In my Junior year of High School, I had the opportunity to be a part of my school’s Leadership. There were seven students who were in charge of events, promoting, rallies, and school spirit. This required us to go above and beyond to make our school a better place.

The Outsiders novel written by S.E. Hinton continues to be A literary influence on the lives of many teens. This novel has been translated into 30 languages, and people find personal connection with either the plot or the characters themselves. I connected to this novel differently than most this book takes place on the lower end of the hierarchy and I sort of grew up in this type area I didn't live in such a bad neighborhood but I live very close to one and my dad works in the bad areas of church Hill and I went along with him there was a lot of dangerous stuff in a lot of places and things a kid my age shouldn’t of seen. “You get hardened in jail. I don't want that to happen to you. It happened to me. . .” This quote was said by Dally to Johnny on their way back to the church. This quote was important because it was the first and only time that he got emotional, he was trying to convince Johnny not to go to jail.

By attending multiple state conventions, national conventions, leadership summits, and my experiences as an national officer I have been prepared to effectively work and serve those who need my assistance. Communication with fellow teenagers in my school, community, state, and nation is something I have learned while being in the Beta Club. I have spoke in front of thousands when I travel to the different state convention delivering keynotes on being “fearless” when striving to reach your goals. Since I gaining the courage to speak and lead the 490,000 members of the Beta Club I know I can continue to make an impact in the future. In my future, I plan on continuing to participate in organizations that value the qualities of leadership and service.

I hope this message finds you well. I was checking my advisement report and it indicated to me that I need to take one more class for my major (Criminal Justice) under "Upper Division Required Courses." To my understanding, I have taken all my major classes including PUB 300: Foundation of Public Administration, and came to found out that this is the class that does not appear in the "Upper Division Required Courses" section. In addition, my PUB 300 is only seen in my minor (public administration). If PUB 300 is the class that needs to be in the "Upper Division Required Courses," then can you please fix this issue and if PUB 300 is not the one that suppose to be in the "Upper Division Required Course" then can you please inform me of what

For the past four years, I have played a significant role in the Putnam County High School Anchor Club. Though the club was small and a little disorganized my freshman year, it has grown to become a prominent part of my life and a major key to my success. In these four years, the Anchor Club has helped me grow to become the leader I am today. I now serve as the President of our Anchor Club. I believe my leadership has helped the club reach its full potential for success.

This week consisted of me leading groups twice, doing an intake assessment with a client and participating in the documentation. During this week I also got to interact with new clients and discuss some of their current goals, this time even assisted in my process of working through with them about what goals are the most important currently in their lives. The first group didn’t go well because I had one individual being disruptive and searing a lot, the other client in a group didn’t have a chance to talk, and we had to end group early. During that time, didn’t handle the individual well and it was a good experience for me dealing with demanding clients. One of my classes I’m currently taking discusses this week the aspect of stepping out

For my fourth session with Anna Claire we went over comprehension. At the beginning of our lesson we read the second and third chapter of Sarah, Plain, and Tall. Before we began reading I wanted to go back over what happened in chapter one. I then asked Anna Claire what she thought would happen next in the story. I modeled a sentence that I thought would happen next then I had her write down two complete sentences on what she thought. We read chapter two and three together. After we finished reading I picked out a few words from the story to work on vocabulary. I choose some difficult words to make it challenging. She knew a few of the words, but most of them she did not know. We went over the ones she had trouble with and drew pictures do

During my semesters at Grand Valley State University, I was a part of the Premed club. The club was specifically in place to help support the premed community attending the university, providing opportunities for shadowing and volunteering, as well as spreading news of events related to the subject. During my time as a member of the club, I attended the monthly club meetings and participated in a handful of the events supported by the club. An example of such an event would be the yearly flu clinic that takes place on both the main and downtown campuses. Being involved in the club allowed for me to interact with other premedical students and to have access to community based

When we were doing facilities work, we had to make sure that the tables and the chairs were out in the correct way and we had to do the work the most efficient way possible. In addition, to the setup, we had to arrange the meals and make sure that everything was ready and in order before the event. My understanding of principles management and the way I connected my current work to what I've learned to my current is that I have taken the liberty to express my opinion. What needed to be done to the group, if I had any suggestion I was not afraid to express the changes that needed to be made, although there were no leadership roles, I took the initiative to express better ways that we can get the work done efficiently as a group. furthermore,

As the semester comes to an end It is that time again to reflect upon what I have learned through the last half of Witchcraft and Heresy in Europe Religion course. I really enjoyed taking this course because of the diverse material that me and my classmates were all exposed to. It really helped me stay interested in the course. The only thing that I would have like to see different, If I was able to take this course again, is an implementation of more videos because I am more of a visual learner.

The school newspaper is super important. It’s got information about what’s going on, important people on the campus, and many interesting articles. Meaning it’s good for the students, but it’s also good for those people making the paper. These people want to grow up and be journalists. So, this is really great for them to get to know the field better. They learn how to make a good and interesting story, and also get some good experience that they will need to become successful in their field. Of course since there is so much to report about there are lots of different types of positions that matter. You have your editor in chief that’s in charge of creating editorial boards and overseeing all department editors. Another job that’s important is a photographer. You
