Technical College Reflective Essay

I have also operated as part of a team, for example AUQA audits, scholarship allocations, and large IT projects. Having spent most of my career working in schools and faculties I am well versed in dealing with students, general and academic staff and central units. These include timetabling, graduation, prizes and scholarships, and student and academic administration. I have also provided support to academic staff as required, for example in invigilating assessment items (including online assessment), developing course and subject proposals, reviewing Turn It In reports for potential plagiarism, and enabling advanced Blackboard

The one idea that drew me to a liberal arts college was the ability to take a wide breadth of classes from all disciplines. I hope to receive not just facts and memorization out of my education, but applications to other subjects and even daily activities. A prominent example of this is my potential major, physics. To prepare for an eventual career in the scientific field, this semester I am pursuing research in physical oceanography. Also, I joined the physics club in order to extend my learning outside the classroom, in addition to using this club as an opportunity to seek out like-minded individuals who also share a passion for science.

I can see Texas Christian University as a great fit for me because it offers so much for me to grow as a students. I can see myself attending the Academic Services offered by TCU in order for me to become a better students and go for help. At Haverford I would find myself using their academic help services, asking teachers questions and go for extra help. TCU also offers its students a wide variety of major and minors to choose from. Business is an interest of mine and TCU offers a great business program. But if I was not to go down that path TCU would allow me to find a new major or minor to choose.

When presented with the word community I think comradery, a group of people whom give one a sense of belonging. According to Webster’s dictionary a community is defined as “a body of people having common rights, privileges, or interests, or living in the same place under the same laws and regulations. According to that definition I felt like it was easy for me to identify with various communities all at once.

In the summer of 2015 I received a full scholarship to attend Jonathan R. Reynolds Young Writers Workshop at Denison University, an opportunity that shaped a simply hobby into an enduring passion. As a writer, I am highly critical of my work, however being accepted to the eight-day program merely by my own literary merit definitely served as an example that not only am I capable of writing something worthy, but that I have the power to achieve any goals laid before me. While I attended the program I greeted 35 peers from California all the way to Zimbabwe, South Africa. My core classes consisted of Fiction and Poetry, where I was taught by award winning authors and poets. To be honest, I felt entirely inadequate the first few days. Here I was

I have taken two AP classes throughout my high school career: US History sophomore year and American Government junior year. These classes have expanded my skill set to include a vast knowledge of interpreting passages that has translated into an advanced concept of comprehension in my other coursework. Even though these classes were not my favorite, the struggle I faced redefined my character as a student; the challenges caused me to work harder in order to succeed, and to me, that is an invaluable lesson that I could have learned nowhere else.

I attend the 2017 Fall Symposium Advocating for TESOL at Miami Dade College. My plan for plan for engaging in advocacy for emergent bilingual students would be starting out with something simple as giving families the resources to advocate on their own behalf (Association, 2015). Some resources I would provide families with are brochures, contact information to local agencies, workshops, and district school meetings. In my plan to engage in advocacy I will start out with connecting with others to share/ gain knowledge for ELL students. I would show this by, attending community events, informal conversations, professional learning communities, and through professional development.

My interest in writing wasn’t always apparent to me even though I sought out activities that included the skill. I enjoyed English classes growing up, but I never thought I would utilize writing at a heightened capacity for different disciplines and my own creative pursuits. Soon enough, writing became an activity that I did outside of the classroom, especially in public health pursuits during my time in college and creatively post-graduation. It is a part of my constant development as a person who contributes to causes and activities that I care about and a part of the impact I believe I can make in the medical field.

In the past, I have worked in an LTAC setting with ventilated patients. Specifically, eight years ago, in which I had a different skill level as an LVN, as well as, did not understand the ramifications of induced delirium due to certain medications. In addition, RN’s were the licensed staff to implement certain IV medications and as an LVN would manage patients and give meds per peg under RN direction. Since skill level of course differs, it was hard to research or even have any training in LTAC setting with delirium patients. This would be an interesting topic to enlighten staff from different skill levels on how to manage and cope with the effects of delirium, especially induced by medication. When I was a clinical

My involvement with NSCS has helped me feel prepared for my future transition from Austin Community College to Texas State University in various ways. By showing me that making connections with others will not only benefit my future in education but also help encourage me to achieve my future career and life goals is what has encouraged me the most in making the transition to a 4-year university. These connections have not only helped me recognize my ability to be academically successful, but has also provided me with the opportunity to be engaged with a group of likeminded students. Due in large part to the encouragement of these students, I, in turn, have begun to feel better prepared to develop stronger leadership skills, make a difference on and off campus, help gain a greater sense of achievement, enjoy a variety of experiences, and work hard to impress graduate schools as well as potential employers.

Throughout my time here at SLU, I have immersed myself in different activities which have enhanced my development, my character and values, and have allowed me to become the woman I am today.

I was standing again; my friend shook her head at me. I didn’t care. I was in the back and the teacher didn’t mind. I sat all day and for now I would stand with excitement and worry making my mouth dry and my hands unable to stay still. Making me unable to stay still.

I was first inspired in obtaining a career in communications disorders during my second year of college. I enrolled at the University of California, Riverside under the neuroscience major, unaware that it was not the path for me. I did not feel passionate about majoring in neuroscience, so I declared myself undecided. Soon enough, a friend of mine introduced me to the major of ‘Communication Disorders’ and influenced me into taking an introductory course; after some arrangements, I was enrolled. While enrolled in the introductory class, I became further aware of the prevalence and incidence of individuals with speech, language and swallow disorders in the country. As I researched the different options that the discipline of Communication Disorders
