Ucd Reflection

I am the founder and president of the SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) Chapter at my school, and I've helped create SADD chapters at other middle and high schools in multiple school districts. Currently, there are about 40 students in my SADD chapter. I started my SADD group my freshman year, so I have been involved with my SADD group for almost three years now.

I have been on the UTD School of Natural Science and Mathematics Dean's List for every semester I have attended UTD. This is awarded to full-time students with a GPA in the top 10%.

This reflection paper focuses on student learning outcome number four (current research findings regarding family and caregiver stress) and the chronic illness of bronchiectasis and its effects on the caregiver, including role stress and strain.

While finishing my sophomore year of college, I applied, and was offered a position as a Desk Manger for the Department of Residence Life and Housing. Although this may seem inconsequential, I was the first ever sophomore hired for this position. This job required administrative skills, time management capabilities, and the ability to supervise over 30 people at any given time. Starting out in this position, I found myself to be very strict as a supervisor and had to learn to be more flexible with the many personalities that I was working with. It was during that first year that I made a personal choice to expand my knowledge and leadership so that I could become a better leader. By the second semester, I was voted staff member of the year and was given many accolades from my employees and coworkers. I continued working in this position for the remainder of my college journey. During this time, I was able to supervise over 200 people and take on more responsibility. Also while in this position, I was assigned as a Resident Assistant taking on dual roles, while still maintaining my grades.

My previous job experience as a social work intern in a school has allowed me to view how an individual is affected by their environment and the many factors that play into the current situation they may be in. My experience as a manager has allowed me to take on responsibility and leadership as I help to lead a group

UIC is an incredibly diverse community with a plethora of different people across the country attending this school. However, even though UIC accepts a wide range of students from different backgrounds many have come from title 1 low income schools where they have faced adversity either because of their race or financial status. I have had an experienced with both. My family used to live in a small town near St. Louis called Collinsville, a town that consists of mainly Caucasian whites. In my school, I was 1 out of the 4 only Hispanics in the whole school. A lot of times many teachers told my parents that I wasn’t able to strive for success due to my background, that I learned Spanish instead of English first and in other subjects because my

Throughout my past experiences, I have developed leadership and organizational skills, and have been able to multitask, motivate, and excel in varied settings. Volunteering for Habitat for Humanity as an undergraduate has reinforced the importance of communication and working as a team player. Instructing AHA sponsored BLS course for nearly two years has instilled in me a great sense of responsibility, organization, and effective leadership skills. Finally, organizing and participating in health fairs as a member of the American Medical Student Association enabled me to create awareness and educate patients on different disease states, and confirmed to me how much I enjoy playing an active role in the community.

I am an officer, Vice President of Finance, of a nationally recognized organization; FCCLA, Family Career and Community Leaders of America. The skills i learned and will soon learn to a more profound extent would be to be more independent, time management, and also being in proper charge of people when

Coming from a diversity community and high school allowed me to have different view of points and be open about several topics such as immigration, low wages, and poverty for the worse. Being raised in a low income and diversity community and high school made me have the vision that where ever I go I would adjust to the environment and asotsphere which wasn’t the case when I decided to attend Johnson County Community College. My first semester of college was a but challenging because I was used to communicating with people that I was confortable with, and the group of people I normally interacted with throughout my entire life were Hispanic individuals. Coming to JCCC changed my whole perspective about how I have to adapt and get used to not

My first interactions with health disparities were at The Listening Ear, a crisis hotline center. Many of our callers were stuck in cycles of impoverishment and physical ailments that led to or exacerbated mental health problems. While I have always wanted to provide excellent individual care as a physician, working at The Ear created a passion for focusing on health at a community level. Having grown up in Huntington Woods, attending WSU SOM would provide the opportunity to help underserved populations in a community I have been a member of my entire life in Detroit and Wayne County.

I am currently in Econ 106D Lec 2 but I am unable to enroll in its lab lecture. I talked to the professor about the problem and he said that the econ department counselors will be able to enroll me in lab and discussion because I am already in the class. Please assist me with with the situation and I hope to hear back from you soon. Thank you.

A defining experience in my life occurred during the summer following my first year of high school. I had the opportunity to travel with several members of my church youth group to the city of San Salvador, El Salvador. Our purpose was to serve the community and the orphanage at which we were staying. I did not realize at the time that what I learned on that missions trip would change me. It would change everything about me, and it would affect me for the rest of my life. This monumental experience is the experience which I believe will have the greatest impact on my academic work and goals at CCU, and there are several reasons why. Every morning of the trip, we designated approximately an hour to spend reading the bible and communing with

During the time before the first diagnosis, I was aware that my son had some developmental delay, as he was not following the proper developmental stages. In addition, I noticed certain behaviors that did not seem typical. The symptoms were lost of speech abilities when he was a year and a half, and having inconsistent eye contact. My son also had challenges in his motoric and physical development, as he had lower back core and had delay in crawling, standing, walking and climbing. In addition, he also showed signs that later on I learned to be moderate sensory processing disorder. He refused a certain kind of food texture, gaging, and refused wearing certain clothing. In addition, he banged his

Sents I was a returning 8th grade I knew how the four square elective was and I knew how to play well. The first class there were a lot of people that had no clue what was going on and had no clue how to play. That was ok though because I'm so glad that Ms. Davis had made a paper for the class to look over and understood what was going on. After we read the paper we she asked if anyone had a question, and not one person raised their hand to ask a question. When we got downstairs and started to play it was to easy for me and people kept on going out and it was bad. It was so bad that Ms. Davis had to get in and teach people how to play and she never does that. After a couple of classes most of the people that were having trouble got the hang

I accepted a position as a sales associate at Lowe's in the "Tools and Hardware" department; after a few months, I received a promotion to team lead of the department, and then again six months later to Department Manager. In the position, I learned how to develop action plans, schedules, pricing audits, merchandising standards, people relations, performance improvement plans, in-stock positioning, strategies, and forecasting to hit the company goals and objectives. The processes were learned through computer-based modules, management training, one-on-one discussions, group huddles, and daily interactions with customers and associates. I was able to apply the concepts not only on the job, but in my personal life through planning my schedule
