    The presentations for Unit 0 were focused on introducing yourself to thee class. Each student’s presentation I watched covered all the topics of background, occupation, education, interests, and course goals. I chose each presentation strategically to learn more about each student because they were not in my HSEM class last semester.

    However, there are a couple of areas where I feel my perspective was altered due to the material of the course. One such area is team dynamics and communication. With regards to team dynamics, Berkun’s (2008) book completely changed my perspective with regards to the value of informal hallway interaction. Previously I did not view this as necessary or valuable, but after reading his insights I understand the strategic value of these interactions.…

    Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a self-help program consisting of alcoholics and recovering alcoholics. These peers who have experienced similar troubles involving alcohol, come together to seek support, guidance, and provide encouragement from one another.

AA meetings are judgment free and are based off a fellowship, so people know they 're not alone on their journey. AA recognizes alcoholism as an illness and helps sponsor the treatment of alcoholism by encouraging the person to work towards sobriety by taking it one day at a time.…

    So staying in the dorms was an interesting opportunity to really test my newfound patience. I also learned many valuable life lessons and received an abundance of helpful advice at SouthWestern Michigan College. Being proactive instead of reactive was one of the best sayings I ever heard in Business 201 – Principles of Management with Stacey Horner. This is one of the best classes I could recommend to anyone, reading “Who Moved My Cheese” is what in fact inspired me. Several other helpful classes I would recommend are; Educational Exploration, Intro to Computer Technology, Intro to Meetings and Events, Professionalism Workshop, Business Law I, Micro and Macro Economics, Human Resource Management, and Two Dimensional Design.…

    I choose Human Trafficking because it is something that I do not know to much about personally. I have seen some of it in different forms of media, such as television and in the news, but other than that it is talked about very much. It was very interesting actually seeing facts about it. I did second guess myself when doing both Major Assignment one and Major Assignment two. It was due to the fact that it is very hard to find specific numbers on the number of people involved in it because it is an underground crime.…

    “You’d make a great RA one-day Grant.” Stated my favorite teacher in high school. Because I really did not know the requirements and duties of a resident assistant, I started to look into it and realized that my personality really did fit with this job. In my opinion though, being a resident assistant would not even be seen as a job because I would enjoy it very much. During the end of September, I approached my resident assistant with all of my questions about trying to get this position.…

    The campus issue I chose to focus on is student retention and how it correlates with the socio-economic status of the student. I chose this topic and study group because it is very closely related to the field I currently work in, and I can get some hand on experiences while working through this semester. I currently work for the Student Success and Persistence department where we work towards helping student retention campus wide for first year college students. Since I work at a community college a vast majority of our students are nontraditional and are not straight out of high school. I feel this will be a great learning experience for me in this course, and in the professional field.…

Furthermore, \cite{seah} examines the effect of immigrant peers on native students’ performance on standardized tests and finds a positive, zero, and negative effects in Australia, US, and Canada, respectively.

    Avoiding the 5 minute rule in the morning also really helped me stop missing class or being really late. I realized going back to bed could isn’t worth the extra 5 minutes because it puts you in a deeper sleep cycle, making it harder for me to get up when my alarm does go off. I have not used any resources on campus, but If I had to use any resources in the future I am always free to use the student wellness center on campus which focuses on the health of students at St. Francis as well as the career center if I was ever to be unsure of my major. Thinking back on freshmen seminar, I found this class to be very helpful. At first I didn 't really see the point in it, I felt as if I knew everything.…
