Tier 1 Reflection

In When We Fight, We Win by Greg Jobin-Leeds it says that “comparison can block compassion both for others and for ourselves.” I agree with such statement; I think that listening is a skill you learn throughout time. One can pretend to listen without really getting anything out of the conversation that one is having with that other person. In the Compassionate Listening workshop, I got to do it with Rachel Kurland and I sit and listened to her talking about the moment her friend treason her. I tried to understand her plight, why would she not cut that friendship off, I understood she loved her friend, however, I could not resist bringing my biases to our conversation. I asked myself, why is Rachel, such a good, loving, and smart person,

Tier Two: Students will work in groups to create and perform a script based on the book achieving a 3 out of 4 on the rubric.

Looking back at project 3, I felt very happy with the essay I produced. I am not one to enjoy writing since I usually do not feel very confident in my writing. I felt the work I produced through project 3 was one of my best. I put a lot of effort into this essay and it showed in my final draft. With this being said, after comparing my essay to the rubric I gave myself a 3.64 overall on this project for many reasons. This essay in no means was perfect, but I learned from my strengths and weaknesses.

As a poor Asian who ventured out of a dominantly white, small town, I understand the consequences of being a minority. This is how my passion to serve the underserved originated, and why I have partnered with service organizations such as Berea Buddies and AmeriCorps. Being a member of these empathetic communities has deepened my gratitude for how beautifully diverse our world is and for all people regardless of the challenges they face. For example, upon entering my service year to mentor children in D.C. public schools, I was told by almost everyone that there is no helping those children because of the family and monetary problems they encounter. Their responses reminded me of the comments I heard when I decided my life after high-school.

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

After reviewing the “Reflection on College Writing,” I decided that I do not need to take an English course this upcoming fall. Instead, I will take English 2 during the spring of my Sophomore year. Since I already took AP English Language and Composition in high school, passed the exam, and earned credits for the English 1A course, I do not need to take English 1A. Furthermore, I plan to take American Civilization to fill my GE requirements for both Area C1 and C2. Therefore, I am not required to take English 1B, a course that fills Area C2. Besides AP English Language and Composition, I took and passed AP English Literature, another college-level English course. Based on my ease in completing the “Reflection on College Writing,” my previous

C100 improved our basic skills and knowledge base, in order to succeed at CGSC and at future FORSCOM Units. C100 had three sections: thinking and problem solving; individual development; and communications. C120 helped me to become a more critical and creative thinker. This block enabled me to improve my decision-making and leadership skills by executing three practical exercises. These exercises were, problem solving, a Gaza Strip study, and dissecting the Army Warfighting Challenges. C130 focused on my personal development while at CGSC and the future at operational units. It helped me plan and focus my priorities for the next 10 years by establishing an individual development plan (IDP). C170 enabled me to become a better communicator

C100 allowed me the opportunity to realize areas of concerns as it pertained of writing, briefing, and critical thinking. The writing class influenced me the most, as it pertains to improving my writing, as I prepared to start the grading portion of the CGSC The course allowed instructors to show prior writing assignments by former CGSC students writing products, good and bad. These examples informed students what the CGSC staff expects it pertains to writing assignments. This was invaluable as I had questions pertaining to the history writing. This academic environment allowed me to brief to my peers; grammar topics which I improved my briefing and communication skills. In addition, the C100 course allowed members our staff group to learn

My county is a rural community with a majority lower-middle to middle class population. The high school consists of about 600 students, with very little diversity. My school has also implemented a new 1:1 technology initiative. The goal is for every student to have their own chromebook by next school year. We have also begun implementing the new Common Core Curriculum. Since my county started school earlier than most, we were one of the first systems to begin the new standards. This has been a school year of new standards, and new technology

Passing my level 1 gave me the confidence and determination to push myself forward with self study, online web material and help from sonographers for level 2, and which I knew was going to be a steep learning curve. Although, I knew this may not substitute my learning that will occur at the university however, it can help me to get a head start.

My facility recently implemented several updated practice changes to our peripheral IV (PIV) policy; these updates are based on the latest evidence based practice recommendations. Over the previous several years, there was an increase in the number of infiltrations, infections and injuries to patient’s who had PIV’s. Some of the PIV’s were placed in the field in which aseptic technique could not be verified, while others were placed in our hospital. IVs were being assessed only once per shift, or every 12 hours, according to the practice that was in place at that time. The IV team at our hospital reviewed the literature and formulated a new policy in which PIV’s placed outside our facility were to be discontinued and replaced within 24

Just the other day I went over to my mothers and was talking to her about the classes I am taking this semester compared to semester in the past. When I told her I was wanting to step out of my comfort zone a little, all she could do was support me, but she also said I would have never thought you would pick a reading or English as much as you did not want to read when you were younger. So when asked what my thoughts are on teaching fluency, I don’t think I could describe how important it is in the early stages for students when it comes to reading. I believe it is tremendously important because it helps children learn or know how to read, but it also gives them an understanding of what is being read. When I become a teacher I want to teach

I chose to include this as one of my spotlight pieces because it turned out better than I thought. When I was first writing this, I had a few drafts. I wanted it to be something that would keep the reader’s attention. I started off with the whole story rhyming but that got rather boring. For one, I feel this piece best exemplifies PWV.02 (organize, draft, and revise their writing, employing forms and stylistic elements appropriate for their purpose and audience.) When writing stories, you can’t just jump into stories and make it as you go. You have to have a set plan because it will make the writing process easier. I feel like this also falls under RWV.01 (identify their strengths as writers and areas where they could improve, and assess the

Wow, it has to be said that it is unbelievable that this is already the fourth week in this course. Time has gone by so quick, but so much has also been learned in this short time. Although I will sound like a broken record, I try to pride myself on not only taking a challenge and preserving through it, but also incorporating new things learned. At the time, things might seem difficult and habits hard to replace, but I have truly grown to have a new found appreciation to what this course has taught me. I might not utilize every concept in each thing that I do, but I will definitely have a different perspective on how something can be done. Week four really tied the previous weeks together and it became clearer the purpose for going through this process, I can also have a new appreciation of how this process would be beneficial in a project that is much larger and detailed. With that being said, although this project is not as in depth as I am sure something such as, a “dissertation” might be I can see the benefit of even just the simple things such as making something too wordy and also still some challenges that seem to haunt me like just the right thesis statement.
