On any given day, I am on campus about eleven hours. I don’t live in the dorms. It is an unfortunate side effect of being a commuter student, athlete and not owning a car or driver’s license. Waking early in the morning to get ready so my Dad can drop me off on campus, roughly a half-hour drive, so he can then go to work and open his shop by 9am, then Returning home around 7:30pm leaves little time to accomplish much in the line of study or homework. Therefore, I find myself in the best alternative I have available – The Second Floor of the Education Health Careers Building. I tried the Falcon Center, but it was to loud. I tried the Library but it is very busy. Ultimately weighing my options the Second Floor of the Education Health …show more content…
However, greater than these external distractions there are some internal distractions, my days are long and after listening to lectures and working out, sitting down in a comfortable chair in a relatively peaceful environment while studying, sometimes lulls me to sleep. I dozed off more than once trying to drill some minutia from my Fitness and Wellness class in my head. Further, the water fountain has cold water which is an excuse to stand up, take a short walk, obtain a refreshing sip of water and then refocus. When I find myself drowsy I make a point to go to bed early when I get home and in a pinch find a cup of coffee to revitalize myself, however temporary. The Education Health Careers Building is the best compromise in my situation. It does not help me as much in exam intensive classes like Introduction to Health Education. This class is an introductory level class that contains large volumes of foundation vocabulary and terms. Sitting by myself in a room reading the material over and over does not help. It is this sort of class I fall back on my flash cards and quizzes where my parents take an active role drilling the information into my head. It should be no shock that the Fitness and Wellness class requires a deep level of concentration. The desks are hard plastic, not very comfortable. In a perfect world, every desk would be like the ones in the Education Health Careers Building. As an athlete I work out two or more times a day and
In my last year of high school, I chose classes that would help me in my career as a speech pathologist. My favorite class was Careers in Education. I learned that every kid learns in a different way and how to make activities that would help visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic learners. Additionally, I took a Sociology class so that I could learn about society’s problems and learn how to solve them so that I could help my future patients and their families with any conflicts they
Exposure to light and sounds can make sleep difficult to maintain. Light is one of the most important external factors that can affect sleep. It does so both directly, by making it difficult for people to fall asleep, and indirectly, by influencing the timing of our internal clock and thereby affecting our preferred time to sleep. Having a comfortable mattress and pillow can help promote a good night’s sleep. You also sleep better if the temperature in your bedroom is kept on the cool side.
While in high school I took classes that were Medical Career Foundations and Sports Med, these classes gave me a head start for my career and education. These classes also helped prepare me for being out in the field by having me participate in clinicals that were based in real hospital settings. Medical Career Foundations was a class based on the basic aspects of being a Nurse where they taught you all of these procedure and medical terminology. The second class was Sports Med., Sports Medicine is either an Athletic Trainer or a Physical Therapist.
(Attention Getter) Do you have ever thought that why you feel dizzy even when you take a sleep of up to 6 hours? Why you cannot concentrate at your workplace, or cannot perform your academic activities as you want them to be? Why you often feel sleepy while the lecture is being delivered? Why even after a sleep of 6 hours, you do not feel fresh and vigilant?
After a while of sitting students’ eyes begin to burn from the bright fluorescent lights on the ceiling. One also begins to realize that not only are their eyes hurting but their back is as well from sitting in the small desk. A small plastic chair with a board attached to the right side, that’s what students sit in. One immediately feels bad for left handed people because writing with one’s right hand on the narrow board is hard enough as it is. With the desks being so cramped together students can only stretch out their legs so far before they hit the desk in front of them or run the risk of tripping the professor pacing a small portion of the floor in the front of the classroom. It’s warm in the classroom and only getting warmer making things even more uncomfortable.
I'm enrolled in the health careers at Lycoming Career Technology Center and currently in my third year. In the class I've learned many different skills needed for all health careers and learned basic human anatomy and physiology. This class pushed me to go out and get some of my own education. Taking honors anatomy and physiology. As of when I turned 18 I obtained my nationally registered emergency medical technician, and nationally registered phlebotomy, taking a college test to complete my registry. I know it takes a lot to be a nurse and I'm ready for any of the challenges it throws at
When I came to the U.S. in 2007, I already graduated from university in Taiwan. After studying master degree , I became a engineer in the company, and finally got the permanent resident in the U.S.. I know I like to communicate, help patients, so I decide to change my career: become a physician. I went back to Houston Community College (HCC) and University of Houston (UH) to study pre-medical. In UH and HCC, I got most straight A for science classes. Before the classes, I review the PowerPoint in advice to know what professors teach today. After the class, I read the PowerPoint, books, assignments to memory and understand new knowledge for several times. I record class lectures when I walk and drive, I listen it and help me to understand and remember
“It is hard to focus when you are worried about getting knocked out by ceiling tiles,” said student Keith Ogua.”
I browed and build upon what I learned from AHS 391 Educational Methods, AHS 341 Health Science Research Method, and the CPE training in AHS 409 Health Screening. During my co-op, I developed and implemented a weekly educational program for my peers through Motivational Mondays. To do so, I conducted research, developed educational materials and interacted/taught my peers. I reused the educational methodologies and research technique I producing informational boards and interactive activities. I used my CPE training to implement campus programs and behavioral change. I found that teaching health is one of the best ways to learn. I also developed better communication skill by continually interacting and presenting to the general
I tend not to sleep very much or all that well. I try to push myself into a healthier, more regular sleep schedule, but darn if there isn't just too much information out there for me to discover, leading me to spend long hours gaping at a screen when I should be resting.
I want to be completely comfortable with my skills in the field as a student so that I can serve as a prepared healthcare professional that is valuable to the
Through numerous programs, opportunities, and challenging coursework, University of Pennsylvania did not just provide its students with new knowledge that they would use in the future, but also prepare them to enter their chosen profession. At University of Pennsylvania, my learning abilities will bloom as a bud turning into a bright flower. I believe that it is important for a student to be prepare not just in the aspect of education and information but also hands-on experience. The Pre-Health Core Studies Program does just that. The program make sure that those who have immense passion in any health profession, regardless of their previous exposure to any science coursework, has their own individual course that link to their background.

At the time I was taking art class as my elective, but I started becoming interested in health. I found I was doing very well in classes like biology and anatomy and I became interested in a career in Dermatology, especially when I discovered Dr. Sandra Lee, also known as Dr. Pimple Popper. This is when I decided to join the Health Academy pathway. Health Academy has furthered my education and given me incredible opportunities. It has taught me many useful things like understanding medical terminology, how to do vital signs, and becoming CPR certified. We also have guest speakers come in and talk about working in the medical field. It’s inspiring and interesting to hear their stories about how they found their
The Health Careers Academy provides students the opportunity to experience and interact with professionals in a medical field. So far, I have volunteered many hours at four departments associated with the academy. The department of pharmacy taught me many things. I learned that there are different colored baskets and labels used to distinguish the medication.
Your environment is distracting and noisy. You keep running back and forth for equipment such as pencils, erasers, dictionaries, and etc. Your desk is cluttered and unorganized and sometimes you even sit or lay on your bed to study or do your assignments. All of these examples that you just heard promote time wasting and frustration which prohibits you from staying concentrated.
