The Navigator Program At Dfw Airport

I have come to realize that diversity allows students to polish one another, leading to the depolarization of students and thus more rounded individuals. I have traveled a rather non-traditional path, and feel strongly that I can benefit others and feel just as strongly that I can benefit from them. The challenges I have faced, the community where I grew up, and my work experience all contribute to my individuality.

I couldn’t help but think that I contributed to its diversity as well, just on that one subway car alone. Each person having a story to tell and something to offer the world. There should be a million other important thing on my mind while I’m headed to my first class of college. But the only thing I can think of now are my grandparents. Coming in from different countries, I could only imagine that felling that overcame them steppig into New York City for the first time. They made a life for themselves, and forged a path that I am now walking on. I can only hope that I can make both my grandparents and parents proud as being the first grandchild to go to college. Education was always important to my family, and growing in the craft that you love and immersing yourself in its daily is truly a blessing. It has been said that if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. I look around the subway car and see all the people on their way to work, and I can only hope that they are as content with their job as I am on my way to

As an incoming freshman at the University of Texas at Arlington I can say I have been in several organizations that have challenged my social skills. However, they were nothing compared to the discourse community I was a member of. It will be proven time and time again that I indeed was not only a member but also a valuable asset to this community. Let us ponder for a moment on what a discourse community actually is. It consists of many components involving but not limited to ethos, pathos, and logos. All three of which I possess and have mastered in my arts. You must realize what the set boundaries are for it to be included as such. Must sports be included even though it is more physical than conversely active? What about Student Government? Yes, we had conversations and planned events at meetings but our relationship with each other was only to a certain extent. Although my participation in sports and student government contributed to my When I think of a discourse community, automatically I associate it with the experience in my high school band. Our close knit community very well made me the person I am today.

Joining a discourse community is something we have all experienced, whether we realized it or not. To earn a position in a discourse community we have to possess accurate knowledge and be relatable to the members to be accepted. I used to have a position in part of a discourse community on my high school key club. There I learned to be a leader and was able to establish a reliability to my peers and the people in the other organizations we have helped. Even though I had done some community service in previous years on my own. This was completely different, in this community not only did I learn to work with others to help the community but also how use ethos, pathos and logos to persuade my peer to help some of the charities that I thought

I have the privilege of being involved with such an impactful organization. While helping, youth developed lifestyle skills, I’m also developing skills. Each year I form some amazing relationships that create lifelong friendships. Excitedly each encounter with the youth helps build my belief on why it’s important to help others along my journey. Therefore, being involved with this organization has transform and impacted

This quarter I volunteered for various events held in Windsor, CT such as the Windsor High School open house, setting up the 9/11 memorial service and child care for WHS parent teacher conferences. I was able to observe how people act in different settings. During class I have learned about the biological, societal and psychological systems as well as different theories and theories. One theorist we expanded our knowledge on was Bronfenbrenner who created the ecological system. This system explains how the people and events around us shape who we are as well as our thoughts/beliefs.

Writing the personal narrative and seeing my views on how I have impacted a few communities has encouraged me to reflect on how my parents have impacted how I interact within Macon’s community. Moving away from home and coming here has not had a significant impact on my life like I thought it would have. As a freshman and a sophomore, I was not as active as I would have liked to been in my college career. I did not really have a good understanding of why I was attending college, and being introverted made it difficult for me to settle in the new community that I was in. I preferred staying in my room and was not involved in the activities on campus or in the Macon community. This changed when I began to work as a tutor. I became more interactive

A community is a group of unified individuals that live in the same place and share the same aspirations or characteristics. This summer, the summer of 2016 I will be joining the EOP Bridge learning community for new college students. I connect with my community and learn how to live with my community on June 19th. The day I will learn not only from myself, but from others because while I am in this learning community I must recognize that we all share the same

According to Bonhoeffer, “community is a calling to serve, work, and rest with others. (Schultze 346).” There are many communities, familiar, neighborhood, and professional. We need to pursue our stations while nurturing the community.

Growing up in the small town of Livingston, Texas where the best thing to do on a Friday night was to watch the football game, or hit a long back road in the middle of nowhere; I learned who I was. In this town, everyone knows everyone and it’s hard to do anything without the whole town knowing. This has molded me into a loving, and spontaneous person who works hard for everything I desire. Livingston has grown so much since I can remember. The people, despite change in population, have always been the same. This community is so positive and kind-hearted and you feel as if you’re friends with just about anyone you meet. The environment I was raised in has always been strict, but in the long run has helped me prioritize what’s important in life.

Interpretive communities have lasting effects on the lives of the people within them, changing the way they think about situations that they may face. Many people go through multiple interpretive communities during the day, for example, a student goes through the student body, to multiple classes, to extracurricular activities, and finally they reach their families. All of the different interpretive communities someone is a part of will help shape their personalities as they grow up. I have been a part of many different communities as I have grown up, but the one that has influenced my life the most has been the junior bowling program that I have been a part of for about fifteen years. The values that this group shares, shines through the children

Currently, I am engaging in service-learning at a non-profit organization called Waite House. This organization is located in Minneapolis, specifically in the Ventura Village neighborhood, which is located in the Phillips community. Engaging in service-learning at Waite House has been a positive experience for me thus far because I feel “at home,” both during the commute and the volunteering experience. The commute is approximately thirty minutes on the public bus and quite often I find myself enjoying the ride. The bus travels throughout various neighborhoods with people from many different backgrounds. While being on campus at the University of Minnesota, I do not experience much diversity in my daily life. Starting off my volunteer days with a bus ride of people who I can relate to in different ways makes the experience much more exciting and valuable for me. Specifically, I see people of all ages, speaking languages and slangs that I can understand. This makes the experience more exciting and valuable for me because I am comfortable in this environment; therefore, I do not feel forced to volunteer at Waite House. As soon as I arrive at Waite House I see the heart-warming smiles on the faces of most of the children as they walk off the school bus.. However, not everyone is smiling. Some of the children are angry because they do not like the idea of after-school programming or engaging in learning opportunities. Oddly enough, this enhances my service-learning experience

Living in an intentional community makes for a great service experience because, in addition to impacting self-growth, it brings about the feeling of togetherness, support, and positive interactions with people who share the same interests. These things are important because when participating in a year of service,

Like the inner city neighborhoods that are dramatically different from each other; even though they exist side by side and are filled with people and experiences as valuable and as enriching as my own. For me, taking part in this adventure was an experience that will always be part of who I am and the mindset I uphold towards others. In life, you experience many different events, what you learn from them is what’s important. Diverse experiences like these are critical to flourish in a field such as Finance. Understanding diversity will remind me to make others feel welcome and comfortable, which will allow me, and others to succeed to our full

“The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members” (Coretta Scott King). A community consists of many individuals and how those individuals act, either alone or together, will determine whether the community will foster or die. Consequently, in order to be an effective individual in my own communities, I believe that being true to myself and really immersing myself is a powerful way to impact any community. For the most part, two of my communities are Providence College and Pasa Esek Hopkins. Reading about great leaders like MLK and Mother Teresa, who advocate for such strong love of neighbor and standing up for beliefs in the face of adversity, is at the focal point of my inspiration. I believe that believing in one’s self is how an individual can shine in their own community.
