I am looking at majoring into Marketing and doing a minor in Human Resource Management, and then after about a couple of years of working I will apply to law school for Real Estate law. Originally I grew up in Surrey moved to Cloverdale/Langley area about five years ago. However, I moved to Kamloops, British Columbia in 2014, right after high school just to attend school and get the feels of living away from home as I want to attend law school in England.

What I expected of this class and Amy Tucker?
But what ended up happening.... The first day when I walked into the classroom I did not know anyone and really did not expect people to be as friendly as they were. First day of class, I was sitting on the left hand side near the door in the second row closer to the front of the class and met two guys, named Eric and _____; however, I did not expect them to be as friendly and as kind as they were because usually people do not talk if they do not know you. Whereas, I am the type of person who talks to everyone and likes to get comfortable with the people I am going to be surrounded by and get to know other people.

    I want to be in Leadership because I want to improve my skills and help others to do the right thing. Set direction, build an inspiring vision, and create something new. Become like an explorer, cutting a path through the jungle for the rest of his group to follow. Though, it’s mostly about mapping out where you need to go to “win” as a team; becoming dynamic and inspiring. I want to bring compelling visions to the group and help motivate and inspire them to help deliver that vision.…

    Shadowing a physician provided me with direct exposure to medicine, allowing me to engage with patients and interact with physicians. I obtained insight from physicians about their experiences and specialties. I also had the opportunity to listen to patients’ stories and concerns. I learned that medicine is not merely about applying medical knowledge to treat others, but also about the quality of interaction that physicians forge with their patients. Furthermore, this experience helped me explore the daily lives of physicians and the challenges they face.…

    4-H, I learned responsibility not only for myself but to accomplish the task at hand, e.g. taking care, washing, cleaning pens/stalls for the animals at the fair. I may sound a bit redundant, but like in the FFA you will make the constant of friends and competition, and this friendly competition is what makes it fun to be in organizations like 4-H. I am currently the Secretary of the Rural Raiders 4-H club in Foster County, and I am expected to help record membership, attendance, and the meetings for my club. This last experience was an extension to responsibility, and responsibility is a lesson that nobody will not get enough of whether it is direct or implied. Some of todays kids do not know responsibility because they do not have the agriculture…

    Criminal Justice is a social science where people study crimes, criminals, and the criminal justice system, as well as attempt to identify and explain criminal behaviors. Majoring in criminal justice requires you to take classes such as psychology, sociology, political science, philosophy, and forensic science. Although I am not a huge fan of science, forensic science sounds interesting and reminds me of what the characters on CSI: Miami do, which makes this requirement more appealing to me. At Southwestern College, the classes that you are required to take if you are majoring in Criminal Justice are Introduction to Administration of Justice, Concepts of Criminal Law, Juvenile Law and Procedures, Legal Aspects of Evidence, a few sociology and…

    Gibbs model of reflection 1 Introduction College life turned out to be much different than what I expected and I was not ready for it even when I thought I definitely was. I was raised in a closely-knit family comprising of my father, mother and younger brother and me. All my life, till the day I left home to start a new chapter in my life, my parents had monitored my every move and essentially spoon-fed me because they wanted the best for and therefore I never really understood what the word ‘freedom’, that my other friends would talk about, meant. From making food, to managing money, my parents had done everything for me to the point that all I had to worry about was managing my studies, in which they also aided me by paying for private tuitions so I could clear the doubts that I had. Life was simple.…

    When people ask me to describe myself, I always draw a blank, I never know what to say, I’m caught off guard because I don’t really love talking about myself too often because I am someone who likes to listen rather than to talk. I always have to think about what I should say to make a good impression on whomever is asking me the question. There is a lot about me that you can see by just looking at me; I have short brunette hair, I’m short, hazel eyes, I’m quiet, and more. However, there are certain personality traits about me that every single person I know on a personal basis can tell you; I am candid, I am shy, and I am very loving. I am candid and by candid, I mean I am always very truthful and frank.…
