Importance Of Diploma

Question One
Stage One - Forming:
On the 8th of February 2016, I started my new Diploma class. All my new class members were reserved and polite, with everyone being on their best behavior in order to create a good first impression. Conflict was avoided at all costs because we all wanted to be accepted into the class. I noticed some of my classmates seemed excited for what lay ahead of us. We all were focused on the task at hand, which was the Disney unit, and about one another. We set ground rules which were being set for the rest of the year to establish a team environment. It was evident to me that everyone was wondering all the same questions. Is everyone committed like myself? Do we all share the same goal of graduating at the end of the year with a Diploma?

A) One challenge that arose for Pipiri this year was the Lip Sync competition. We have a lot of people in our class who are shy and don 't like to perform in front of a large group of people which made for a huge challenge. We all had to be in the performance otherwise points were deducted. Alongside this challenge, we also had to encourage and excite everyone with getting involved. It was very hard to get the class together to practice, as people have after course commitments, not to mention it was during our assessment which was deemed the hardest for the

    A) The only way the Hispanic community will be able to live decent lives and be adequately represented in government is if we are in positions of power. On December 18th of 2010, the 36 republican and 5 democratic senators did not have my dreams in mind. They did not understand that I don 't have a single memory of the place where I was born. In truth they will never fully know what it 's like to grow up in a country that empowers your dreams, overtakes you with its culture, just to shut you out upon the request of documents that you do not understand why you can 't provide. A college degree will inevitably increase my standard of life but it will stand for so much more. .…

    Now I continue to test the limits on what I can achieve. This senior year, I earned multiple leadership positions such as the O'Dea school vice-captain and the National Honors Society Secretary Officer. Also, to diversify my hobbies, I am currently experimenting with new clubs and sports such as chess club and tennis. I even secured my first job serving the elderly at a retirement home. Living in solidarity with the migrant community ignited a fiery passion hidden deep within myself and, just like the kids who chased each other until the sun went down, I was ready to pursue every opportunity that came…

    What I have found over my one week observation on the football team is that some particular grades are not fond of eachother. If the football team had to split into age groups and interact with only the one group that they picked the senior and junior class would definitely not choose the freshman class. The sophomore and freshman classes are neutral and would choose any grade. On day one of my research, all grades of the football team seemed to be able to tolerate each other, but it was Monday.…

    I had to do some self reflecting during the process to ensure that I was doing what was best for the students in developing the team vision, and not backing down when others wanted to push it aside. I believe that over time I will learn to develop a thicker skin, but I know that it is something I need to work on balancing. I think that this relates well to ELLC standard I. This standard requires educational leaders to look at the goals of the school and see the big picture. They work with the school community and seek involvement of the stakeholders in the process of developing the vision and mission for the students and their future…

    The Power of Collaboration “Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is process, but working together is success” (Henry Ford, Brainy Quotes). Throughout the first couple weeks of college, I expected to figure out everything out on my own without help from anyone else. However as it may be the case in some circumstances, I can surely tell you that classes like English 100Y definitely does not hinder the concept of teamwork or collaboration. Throughout the semester we have been exposed to a variety of group based activities and challenges. These collaborative assignments help benefit the students with the capability to attack challenges in the future whether it be in another class or life itself.…
