The Ninja Watch This paper describes my field experience and what I learned as well as my career. I was placed in Sharpstown International School, in which I was with Mr. O 'Heron. He taught both Pre-calculus and Calculus classes. Those two classes are for seniors and there may have been a few juniors in the pre-calculus class. There are in total four classes that I observed, one calculus and the rest pre-calculus.
Activities
Throughout the field, I barely engaged in any different activities, mainly observe the students. Though they did ask a few questions. Although I mainly observed, I did enjoy listening to Mr. O 'Heron 's jokes and stories. Observation is my specialty, I felt a bit odd being there at first, but eventually I got used to it. I would come in the class, usually, Mr. O 'Heron is explaining something to the students and I sit in the back. I would sometimes sit with the students, but that 's with the pre-calculus class. I kept this routine for the rest of the time. There are some points when the students would ask me a few questions. In the beginning, they asked me some questions about college, since Mr. O 'Heron explained some things about college. The other class, keeping in mind I saw four different classes, they asked for some help with their math. I ask for them to refer to their notes and point at their mistake. I do wish that I would have engaged in a variety of activities, but since it 's a high school level class there wasn 't much I could do.
This paper will demonstrate the pre-service teachers’ understanding of mathematical practices as part of the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics. It will address two specific standards for Mathematical Practices, describing the essence of both and providing a description of how teachers facilitate these practices and how students are engaged in the practices.
“I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile” (Walter Chrysler). Deciding on what one wants to be in life can prove to be a demanding task. There are so many, yet limited, different opportunities in the world to have an excellent career and make a decent living while doing something one loves. It is limited because there are only a few specific career paths that someone could take to make good money. It is very difficult to make a fulfilling living being a garbage man. There are many different opportunities because, within these specific careers, there are usually various paths to take. Someone who has dreams to be a
This study follows three cohorts of students- those who started ninth grade in 2008, 2009, and 2010 (the high school classes of 2012 through 2014)- from ninth grade through the year after they should have graduated high school. These cohorts include over 100,000 individual students and more than 350,000 student-year observations. More specifically, all of these students are enrolled in Arkansas high schools. This study includes all students in Arkansas that are enrolled in CTE courses.
Write a brief reflection on the activity (no more than 3 pages). What did you learn about yourself and others? What implications might this have on your own classroom practice?
Upon observing your class, we have learned a lot about the methods you utilize in order to help the students with mathematics and about how the students learn. Observing your class was both an honor and a learning opportunity for us, as you are an important, and well-respected faculty member in the school system. However, while we appreciate your goals and tactics to make learning mathematics easier for the students, we have discovered some flaws in the use of mnemonics, rules, and tricks for helping students understand the subject material.
Typically, when someone hears ‘medical field’, automatically you think of people with white lab coats and a stethoscope around their neck ready to take your vitals. Obviously this comes to mind because these doctors and surgeons are the face of the medical field, but in reality there is so much more. There are actually about 300 different occupations one can have in the health care field. A large part of that is nurses. Nurses are the basis of the medical field; they are almost as important as the patients themselves. They have always been a major part of our lives. Nurses have been with us since we first opened our eyes, from birth to broken bones, nurses were there. They have very difficult and extensive careers, they dedicate their lives to their work and to their patients. Some nurses spend long nights away from their family and friends to help others, at times their shifts can last as long as 24 hours. In my opinion nurses are the real super heroes, for this reason I have decided to pursue a major in nursing. I still have a lot to learn and many years of schooling to go, but personally its worth the wait.

Through out my high school career I never took my education seriously. For most of the four years it was a big blur. I’m not quite sure if it was because of me or if I found myself blaming my surroundings or teachers for my lack of focus and strive to learn. A failure can mean different things to everyone else. Maybe there’s just different types or categories of failures. These failures are meant to teach us something, or motivate us to simply not make these mistakes again.
My whole life I have always wanted to do something where people will remember me. I went threw millions of career choices before I came to the conclusion of a nurse. It’s not something that will get me into History books, but its something where all the people I help will remember what I did to care for them or their loved ones. My mom went to school to become and RN, but dropped out when she became pregnant with me. After that story was told to me, I didn’t want to be anything related to nursing. It wasn’t until my step mom went to school to be LPN that I realized it would be possible for me to do. I saw how much happiness it gave her, and I want the same thing. She loved helping the patients by treating them, and helping their families
For the longest time I could not decide on a major and a career to study throughout college. When I came to Georgia Southern University I discovered that they had a major that was very interesting to me. Sport Management id the ideal major for my interest and me. Since I love sports I figured that this would be the career for me. A degree in Sport Management helps to prepare for success in sport related occupations.
When I arrived to school, the brisk air immediately shook me from my sleepy state as I strutted towards the school entrance. Once I stepped foot in Clover Hill, my mission became to find out the results of my latest calculus test with the hopes that I at least earned a B. The closer I came to my teacher’s Cav Morning classroom, the more anxious I became; my stomach twisted and turned like a cart on a roller coaster. Finally, I approached the classroom and timidly stepped into the room, capturing the attention of my calculus teacher, Mrs. Rose.
My Career Plan The future is uncertain for me, but it is important to develop a career plan that will provide financial support and personal fulfillment over the course of my professional life. To make this transition from school to a professional career, I am going to plan a plan that will help me stay focused and motivated in meeting my goals and objectives. In the next paragraphs, I will explain my ten-year plan for my
In the contemporary world university degree is very important and many students enter the university each year to earn their bachelors or Master’s. Usually people use their university degree to advance their careers and to achieve success. But those people who have ambitions and who determinate with their career plans, the best decision is to continue education and to develop and improve theoretical knowledge and practical skills in chosen field.

Career progression is the aim for most workers, but career development is not something most of us think regularly. But without proper understanding of what we want from our career and how we can achieve our goals quicker, we can quickly end up dissatisfied with our jobs.
I have chosen a career as a paralegal. This is a field that I expect will be both challenging as well as professionally rewarding. As a paralegal, I will assist attorneys in the delivery of legal services (National Association of Legal Assistants, 2008). A career in paralegal studies is a prestigious, professional adventure and offers a wonderful opportunity while enhancing ones knowledge of the law and provides for challenges, growth and advancement.
