To earn an associates degree from Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC) one must take and pass certain classes in order to transfer to a four year institute. One of these many classes is ACA 122-College Transfer Success. It is a one credit course designed to help students who are new to the world of community college and transferring to succeed in the future. For me personally I was not so lucky. This is my last semester at GTCC so this class has been a bit of an annoyance rather than helpful, because a large section of the class is geared towards planning out one’s course schedule for their remanning semesters at GTCC.…
My responsibility for this workshop was to proceed with a handover of a patient to an intern (played by Dr. Michael Adamson). This was a particularly disasterous session. My performance was not only unfit within the scope of academic criteria, but was clearly short of acceptable for a real-world SBAR. During the reading of the scenario I was daunted by the task of having to SBAR report a patient to admission at a hostpital, based on information I was reading for the first time; my practice with the hand-over system was minimal prior to the session.…
ACAD is a class that is essential for all first-time freshman. This course introduces students to the “concepts, principles, and skills for higher learning and facilitates students’ adjustment to and engagement in the learning academy (Winthrop). As students we are told in ACAD classes that in a week if we attend class for at least 15 hours, study for 30 hours, sleep for 56 hours, eat for 14 hours, and waste an additional 10 hours, then we are still left with 43 hours of free time each week. What we do with our leftover time is up to us.…
RC1 Reaction Comment Lorrie Thomas, The first day of class was so informative and I experienced emotions from surprise, interest, fear, humor, sadness, etc., as explained in this reaction comment. One point of discussion, which surprised me, was how much I was unaware of the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) mission. I have said for the past 2 years that I would like to work for DHS.…
There are many justifications as to why I decided to attend American Public University (APUS). The three main reasons: I want to be an encouragement to my children, I want a solid career foundation, plus enhancing my education will also help me to improve my own self-assurance. Establishing a positive atmosphere, and being an example of encouragement for my children is the most significant reason for my decision to attend American Public University. I know it will be a challenge, but I want my children to understand that it is easier to struggle to further your education, than it is to struggle enduring poverty from lack of a degree. American Public University can help me to realize my dreams of being an inspiration to my children.…
Avid Scholarship Essay There's always certain people in life that tell you goals are important. They start asking why people set goals for themselves if they already know it's too hard or impossible to achieve. I always believed the same thing. I never thought goals were important till I started growing up and set some goals for myself.…
In the Spring of 2016 when I took WRTG 101, I terrified of failing. Before taking WRTG 101, I would always struggle with writing. This class has taught me many important and essential techniques to be successful in my writing career. Considering that Spanish is my first language, reading and writing are a weakness of mine. I have always been afraid of attending an English class for the simple fact of having to write essays.…

The department of Children and Families (DCF) is a strength-based agency that works to protect children from neglect and abuse. Working with families to build a rapport after removing the child could be challenging for a worker. It is essential to use the proper skills to build a working relationship by building rapport; gaining trust and caring for your clients. Working with children requires sensitivity, empathy, compassion and a love for children. Throughout my internship I realized just how empathic I am with my clients and also how to set professional boundaries.…
The biggest benefit of being a student at the AMFS is the connections that I will make. This is a very large festival with some of the best students and faculty in the country and getting to meet and perform with these musicians an incredible opportunity. I will also get the chance to focus on my solo playing and technique. Getting two months worth of private lessons from such a renowned teacher will be amazing. I actually had the chance to play for Professor Adkins when he was on the panel of my Juilliard Audition.…
Over the course of studying E214 I have thought greatly about my own practice working as an HLTA in a mainstream primary school, where I mainly work with children that experience barriers to learning. These barriers are due to the children having special educational needs or due to having English as an additional language. I now question whether the children I work with are part of a system that has created othering and if through them being othered they included as fully as possible or are they still subject to exclusion through the barriers they experience when accessing the national curriculum or through their progress not being as high as expected by society. (online unit 17) The focus of education appears to be about the grades and progress…

Although I am just one person, I believe my influence can lead to a greener society…

My first goal is to have a high G.P.A., That is the grade point average number representing the average value of the accumulated final grades earned in courses over time. This was something that was not very important to me, until I started taking this class and realized how much it was.…
The course AFAS 160 D1 is my first online class, and until now I still felt lucky to choose this class as one of my general education classes, because it gave me a great opportunity and an eye-opening experience about learning the African American Culture which I have never learned before and also gave me a chance to learn online. Describing this course to someone else, I would say this class is interesting and if you want to learn this class well, you need to prepare the Voice Thread and read the book carefully. To be honest, making videos on Voice Thread gave me a unique experience. I still remembered the first time I made a video on Voice Thread how nervous I was, I was afraid to have different ideas with other students and worried if they disagreed with me what should I do?…
