Immersion

I would like to attend the Pre-College Summer Immersion Program provided by the George Washington University because I am already beginning to think about college. I am also a first-generation college student, so opportunities like this do not always come around. I personally want to attend the Summer Immersion Program to enhance my educational pursuits at my current school, Church Farm School. I am an Oliver Scholar, a program that helps kids from low-income backgrounds that are Hispanic/Latino

The participation of Cold Water Immersion after a taxing training session or competition seems to be ritualistic in athletics. Cold water immersion, cold whirlpool therapy, and ice baths are all forms of cryotherapy; which is defined as “the application of a device or substance with a temperature less than body temperature, thus causing heat to pass from the body to the cryotherapy device.” (Knight and Draper, 2013, p. 229). Cold Water Immersion (CWI) is a form of recovery cryotherapy that involves

All students admitted in the GWC Summer Immersion Program (SIP) were encouraged to participate in the study. Surveys were used to collect the data for the study, which included 7 published scales measuring STEM identity, self-efficacy, motivation, engagement, and STEM career interests. Thus far, only pre-test has been conducted, and 31 female students between the grades of 10 and 12 participated. The demographic profile of the participants included 26% White, 19% Asian, 35% Black, and 26% Latino

Cultural Immersion Project DB Pt 2 Betty Finney My cultural immersion focus is on the religious war in Nigeria. One of the interesting things I found in my research was that, in Nigeria the Christian faith and the Muslim faith represents the greatest percentage of religions. I also learned that the Christians and Muslims pray every day several times a day. With that being said, I wondered if they believed in a higher entity prayed every day, who they are praying to? And what is their belief system

Cultural Immersion Project: Philippines Jesse Starkey Soc 3214 August, 27, 2014 Virginia College Cultural Immersion Project: Philippines Introduction: There are numerous diverse cultures that reside on this planet, each display their own uniqueness, and significance to this world we live in. The Philippines are a great illustration of how many individuals of different cultures work together to create an astounding community. Much like the United States we are comprised of all varieties of

For the cultural immersion project, I decided to study Hispanics because they have a very rich, diverse culture, and I enjoy listening to their music. Also, I felt like this group of people deals with many stereotypes, especially with the media portraying negative images of countries like Mexico. Initially, I felt that this culture would be very bold and outgoing. I assumed that they placed a higher value on relationships and hard work rather than education. In order to observe them, I went to the

My freshmen year at Loyola, during spring break I went to East St Louis, Illinois for an Alternate Break Immersion trip. The key focus of this trip is the immersion aspect, this was not just a service trip, and it focused on building community and solidarity. While in East St Louis, I worked at Catholic Day Care, which is a predominantly black catholic day care that is centered on the

The cultural immersion experience that I chose to do was attend a Baptist Church in East Side Austin called Greater Mount Zion. I selected this event because one of my fellow colleagues attends this church. When I was growing up, I was only exposed to the Catholic religion. I thought it would be a great experience to expose myself to a different church where the majority of the individuals are from a different ethnic group. My preconceived expectations were that everyone was going to be dressed

Did you ever experience having a family member be your teacher? Well, I have. My aunt, Kapolei Kiili was my teacher in Kindergarten and is now my teacher again in high school in the Hawaiian Language Immersion Program that I’ve been in since preschool. My parents chose this program for me because they wanted me to learn something that they couldn’t learn in their own childhood. My dad and my aunt grew up together from when they were babies. Having my aunt become my teacher has been a great experience

For my cultural immersion experience, I choose to attend meditation at a Buddhist temple. Lately, I have been very interested in the Buddhist religion so I thought that this would be a good introduction into it. I am not a very religious person nor did I know much about Buddhism before this experience. I did do some research and was able to find a meditation for beginners session at the Temple of Harmony. This specific temple is located in Joliet, Illinois. I did some research beforehand on
