In this essay I will be explaining how this SDEV course helped me do all these things, as well as help me decide the career i will be pursuing.

Throughout my college experience I have been pursuing a sociology degree but, the more I learned about Psychology the more I started to be attracted to it. Our Holland Typology assignment really helped me gain insight into both of the majors I have been stuck between. For example, i learned that a sociologist has a very low job outlook and a Psychologist has a high job outlook with potential for increase over the years.

Im proud to say that my new years resolution will be complete when final grades post. I wanted to get my gpa back up to a 2.0 and I am more than positive that it will, after calculating my gpa with different grade outcomes. This is the second time I have taken Student Development and I am so thankful that I did. This time around I learned how to do things that will help me throughout my college experience and, I am going to use them over and over again in order to be successful in school. For example, I learned how to calculate my gpa, and how to manage stress which turned out to be much more help than I had initially thought it would. I learned time management techniques and I learned how to pin point my bad

Like, on binder checks those goals we set I tried to achieve them so overall those helped to improve my binder check grades or even my Cornell Notes.

    Career: Social work requires a different number of skills in which I believe I possess. Since my elementary school years, I have always had an interest in child development or anything child related because as my hobby I babysat.

I applied to several colleges, but I wanted to closer to home so I chose the University of Mississippi. Prior to choosing this institution, I remember watching several great movies and that all shared something common.…

    The Netherlands, located in northwestern Europe, is commonly addressed as “Holland” when talking about the provinces. The two provinces of Noord and Zuid together make up Holland. The geography of Holland (the Netherlands) in Europe is deemed unusual by many in that much of its land has been reclaimed from the sea, with almost 25% of its land at or below sea level, while remaining protected by dikes. The European part of the country can be split into two areas: the low and flat lands in the west and north, and the higher lands with minor hills, including the Ardennes Mountains, in the east and south. The country’s highest point is located at Vaalserberg, rising to 1,053 ft.…

    These are my plans for the rest of the semester regarding specific areas that need improvements. My weakness when working on my CJT's is the nursing diagnosis part of the CJT which affect my prioritizing. I'm going to look at my data and come up with a nursing diagnosis rather than trying to fit my patient with a nursing diagnosis. With that, I think it will be easier for me to prioritize data along with looking at my interventions that I implemented. Other areas that I need to work on are my interventions.…

    Transcripts Although there were moments of downfall, overall I am proud of the grades I have been able to accomplish over these past four years, taken into consideration that I am student involved in many extra-curricular activities. There have been plenty of times when I have greatly struggled in a class or I could not grasp a specific concept in class. Moments like these greatly discouraged me, and as much as it seemed just easier to give up, I continued to push myself to go the extra mile because I knew the grades I had previously received, were not an accurate measure of what I am capable of. Because of the extra effort I was putting into my work, I began to see positive results, therefore boosting my levels of self-motivation and confidence.…

    Previous to starting my journey at the University of Colorado I knew that I enjoyed helping people, but I wasn’t so sure what degree would get me there. I began my studies with an idea that psychology could help me reach that goal. Every psychology course I took was more interesting than the last, and I was hooked, but I still wasn 't sure where this would take me and my goal of helping others. I had volunteered in high school, and so began looking for volunteer opportunities in Boulder. My sophomore year at UC Boulder, I discovered Rocky Mountain Riding Therapy (RMRT), a place that would go on to change my path in life.…

    This semester I learned that I can multitask between making goals for myself and working on homework. I also learned that if I am motivated enough and make a goal that is really important to me I will end up finishing the goal. When I was finishing my community goals I found that they were the most rewarding and that I enjoyed doing things for others rather than myself. Whenever I was finishing my personal goals it was satisfying to make my car payment every month and to know that my credit is being built up in the process. For my student goals I went to every class except for one and it was because I became very sick and it did not affect my grades because I knew that I could get the notes from my friend.…
