Unit 1 Reflective Report

Writing is a skill most people acquire when they are young and develop those skills as they grow older over time. As children, we learn how to read and write when in elementary school. Our school teachers teach us how to write; the size, the style, and the format. The books On Course by Skip Downing and 7 Habits by Stephen Covey, they are doing something similar. They explain to us about different ways to be effective, and how to better those skills. Both of these authors cover many different topics covering most areas of our lives. They do go into detail about how we think, and how that affects our daily lives. I believe that the most important habits and topics these two books cover would be “Think Win-Win,” “Seek First To Understand, Than To Be Understood,” and then finally “Discovering Your Preferred Ways To Learning.” All these chapters throughout these two books stick out in my opinion, thus why I think they are the ones I want to share. I firmly believe that everyone should learn these few tips because it will benefit them greatly.

In my English 1010 class, I have learned to do a number of things through writing essays. I have written a Literacy Narrative, a Discourse Community Analysis, and a Writing Research essay. Firstly, I have learned to identify how an author’s purpose, audience, genre, and context determine effective writing. The purpose of the literacy narrative was to help me understand myself better as a writer (Jones 1). My teacher was the intended audience of the narrative. The genre of the narrative was non-fiction by cause of it being about my experience as a writer. The context of writing made my writing more interesting and more effective. Knowing those elements helps you to compose writing that is more effective due to you needing to know what you need to write about and who is receiving your writing. I displayed these skills by going into detail about my experiences with reading and writing through my life. As shown in the following sentence from my literacy narrative I shared how fun and exciting it was when my second-grade class received the opportunity to write a book, A Book of Future Astronauts, “Everyone in the class was truly excited to be writing our own book,” (Writing is Good).

Throughout the semester we had essays we had to write which were only two to three pages long. Except, the iSearch; the paper everyone dreaded because it had to be at least ten pages. All the small essays helped you prepare for the largest essay: procrastination, spellings and words to use, and using your time wisely in class. I came to believe that I knew what I was doing, but as you got better at your essays Mrs. Linn became a tougher grader. I learned a great deal from Mrs. Linn about different writing styles, how to write, and how to have an outstanding essay.

I have been a Resident Assistant (RA) for about five weeks. Training to be a RA was tiring but very educational. I learned how to handle multiple situations that could happen with me being RA. After training, it was a series of task that I had to complete as a RA. Those task included: completing forty-four Room Inventory Form, putting in fix it tickets, etc.

Three years ago, I was first introduced to the Student National Pharmaceutical Association. The mission of serving the underserved was something that resonated with me strongly as a lack of resources early on in life made the local pharmacist my family’s main point of access to medical care. For this reason, I gained a strong passion to serve the community through SNPhA. Early on, I sought out mentors within the organization. These mentors taught me a great deal about the organization, leadership, and growth. Recently, I got the opportunity to serve on the executive team as our chapters Historian. Working as a part of the executive team has given me insight into this amazing organization at the local level, while allowing me to hone my communication

As I completed the UNSW Professional Development Program , I was invited to apply for a pilot project called ‘NSW Global Scope’ offered by StudyNSW NSW Department of Premier & Cabinet and Sydney-based education services and technology start-up, Intersective during Semester 1 2016.

This leadership experience is an accurate demonstration of my credentials and a large source of my purpose. I am organizing this overnight conference, seeking to improve the leadership capacity of students by encouraging them to discover their individuality and bond with other leaders. As MOCA, I update the schedule with minute-by-minute details; delegate roles to the security team, mentors, and executives; draft the itinerary and timeline; negotiate venue and transportation prices; and communicate with sponsors. This experience has taught me how to use budgets efficiently and improved my organization skills. I have also learned that with purposeful action and passion, I can leave a mark and create positive change in any vocation I pursue.

I am writing with regard to Research Assistant, Technical Staff or Technician (Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine) advertised on website. Please find attached my Curriculum Vita, which shows I have the necessary qualifications and experience in the workplace.

During the first class period we were able to discuss the syllabus and gain a general understanding of what we can expect from SOCW 502, as well as the competencies that will be covered in this course. We further discussed what we, as students, are expected to do to be successful in this course. After discussing the syllabus we were able to have a group discussion about the semester project as well as the weekly reflective journals. This gave us time to get acquainted and further discuss each person’s area of interest, which will be helpful in selecting a topic for the semester project. We were then able to learn more about the instructor of the course. It was also interesting and entertaining to hear about the educational background of the

One of my job requirements is dispatching and it has been a great experience working alongside the Sheriff's Department of community colleges. I have the ability to work under highly stressful situations and considering multitasking being a big part of it all. As a call taker, it's very important to have proper radio etiquette to put out traffic with the proper information. My experience overall for the past two years has developed my interest in dispatching and I plan on continuing to grow and help others.

I am an officer at an international action club called Interact. This club has volunteer events on campus and around the local neighborhood. Most of these events focus on helping local churches, city events, public services, the environment, and non-profit organizations. As an officer of Interact Club, I have collaborated with other officers to lead service events, host monthly meetings about the number of accumulated student service hours, and raise money for international projects. Some of these projects include donating hygiene products to Syrian refugees, fundraising for local community clinics, and raising awareness about the dangers of human trafficking. Because Interact Club provides so much for the world and its community, I decided

This was a follow-up consultation but with a different student practitioner from the one the patient had seen before. The practitioner had to fill in a few gaps of details missing from previous consultation, and with the patient being in a rush, the practitioner was very clear and concise with what needed to be done. During the consultation, the practitioner picked up on the patient’s sniffles. Several times she also asked the patient if there is anything else she would like to talk about, and if it feels like they have covered everything. Seeing this student practitioner working with patients always inspires me. Her way of showing genuine interest and making sure the patient feels heard and cared for is something that I want to learn. This

I spent 6 months at BirchSugar Co., Ltd from as an supply chain intern. I was working at Logistics Department. Because it was a rather small firm I was lucky to work in different areas of the department. For one month I worked as a customer service coordinator. I was learning how to process orders. The next two month I did sourcing related jobs. I contacted and ordered materials from our mother company from Shandong China. One other two month I spent in our logistics service provider company, Ghibli Co, Ltd. I have learned about warehousing, inventory, manufactoring, packaging, distribution etc. For an other month I worked at the marketing department on different projects, such as introducing new products; coordinating the logistics aspects of new campaings.

I believe I have achieved most of the course learning objectives as I pass this class with a c or higher. I undertook the writing process we learned in class and it has helped me become a better writer. Before I entered my freshman year of college I didn’t know how to write. But as I undertook the writing process I was taught in class I now know how to write. First when it came to writing my assignment papers for my class I grabbed a notebook and did prewriting . I brainstormed a list of ideas for my papers. I then had a plan on everything I was going to write about. I then sit down and write my first draft. I make sure my first paragraph is a strong
