Kris shared that Tiffany helped coach the random students prepare for their interview process which was successful. Also, Teri mentioned that she received a thank you card to Allied Health Occupations staff and emails about how welcoming the TSCs were during the interview process. Denise told the group that many applicants arrived early to review questions so they were prepared for their interview. Teri gave kudos to the TSCs for the great process!…
This week I had the opportunity to work with Paula, who was a breaker nurse. Since she was breaking, I had a chance to work with the men and women side. To be honest, I felt more comfortable being on the women's side. In fact, I was actually not nervous being on the floor that I felt comfortable joining a bracelet activity where I bonded with Mele and John. I thought it was a calming activity where all your worries seem to disappear and all you think about is what color to choose next.…
One of the most important thing I have learned in this course that has positively affected my confidence in my writing skills is the concept of writing a “shitty first draft”. In my midterm self-assessment, I discussed how I thought I was among one of the unlucky ones that was not blessed with natural writing skills. However, through class discussions, I’ve learned that one of the most important competent of professional writing is the need for constant revision. Contrary to popular believe, writing does not come easy to anyone. In order to successfully produce professional writing, it is important that one plan, draft, revise, and edit his or her work.…
Bridget Thomas is a young bubbly woman who enjoyed her time at the boys and girls club, and is more than happy to share her story and how she improved not only her life but the lives of others. Her determination to help others made her put aside other extracurricular activities for her commitment to the boys and girls club. Though she may not be the only one that felt the need to help, she is one that determined that the commitment she had was much more fulfilling than what she was doing beforehand. This is her story of how she found and committed herself not only to the boys and girls club itself but to the children as well.…
This year has been my first year participating in Global Girls and I can, without hesitation, say that several of the conversations held during the meetings have been some of the most honest, crisp discussions I have taken a part in. My personal belief in the great significance of these kinds of conversations is one of the driving factors for my interest in being co head of Global Girls. If selected as co-head, I will really focus on creating more of these organic conversations that speak about the core of an issue. The importance of brisk, articulate conversations was really emphasized to me during my participation in the Student Diversity Leadership Conference (SDLC) in December of last year. I was chosen, along with four other Brearey girls, to go to this conference in Atlanta, Georgia and I had the privilege of engaging in conversations with teenagers from around the country about different social…
Just like last year, we will be volunteering as “room monitors.” Room Monitors volunteers are placed in workshops, introduce speakers, provide support to girls during the session, and administer evaluations to gather girls’ feedback and insight. This event will be worth a total of 3 service points and it is our…

Waking up at 6 AM every morning during the summer and attending to the young children of Pacifica, California is not the average person’s ideal goal for summer. But for me, it was all I needed and more. Previously, I had never worked with kids. Sure, I occasionally helped my grandma babysit my little cousins, but other than that, I did not have much experience. I quickly learned how to adapt with over 100 hours of service at the Boys and Girls Club and I couldn’t be more thankful.…
The Ounce of Prevention conference was an overall knowledgeable experience. I learned about organizations that have been in my community for years, which I never heard about. I was happy to know the successful people that were involved in our public health community. The impact that they made as a whole. Everyone working health industry were so passionate about their involvement.…
I was surprised to see that half of the group were already familiar with child life. I thoroughly enjoyed Jessie’s presentation and thought that she gave a great explanation of what our role entails and when it is appropriate to consult her or any child life therapist. I thought that it was so successful and the new nursing staff appeared receptive. I wish we could give more presentations like this to new staff members to help illustrate our role and appropriate…
1. My team members responded to my team leadership effectively and therefore, the outcome was positive. They mentioned that I displayed all the qualities of a team leader, as I was very effective and successful in motivating my team members and getting all the necessary work done before the deadlines. I was able to delegate the responsibilities of the assignment thoroughly and in a way that all my team members were happy based on their respected skills. The first order of business was that my job was to gather the team at a time that was convenient to everyone within the group.…
Throughout the year, as a class we have been given many different challenges in either the form of an essay, speech, or group presentation. The final assignment given to us was a group project presentation. From growing up in an age filled with technology, I have come to love projects that revolve around making some form of a PowerPoint presentation. This PowerPoint though, was both difficult and interesting for the reasons of being assigned group members not of my own choosing, learning to listen to others ideas which can help me to learn something new, and using former knowledge while working together to create a clean, in depth, and well prepared presentation. With working in groups of students whom I have known since I was young but…
Reflection When signing up to take the Final Project Course this fall I was extremely nervous and not excited to start. Walking into the first day of class and learning more about what the final project would entail, I did feel slightly better but still scared that it was going to be too overwhelming and hard to complete by myself. Luckily, the individual meetings and emails with my professor made everything much more clear and inviting. These final project meetings were very helpful in terms of receiving constructive criticism and then going back home to make changes to the paper.…
Practicum Reflection During my education courses I had learned many different concepts, teaching strategies, and covered numerous topics involving the process of teaching. For the first time I was able to put everything I had learned into practice. My practicum was one of the best learning experiences I have experienced as a student. I learn the best when I am doing something hands on, so for me to actually be able to teach and take over the classes I was able to learn a lot.…
We have 5 members in our group of whom 2 were male, and 3 were female. After we were assigned the project, we all came together, and made a commitment to do it better, and succeed at it. Firstly, we welcomed ideas from everyone, without setting any criteria. Our project was to reinvent any product with more features that will be helpful for public. It was a very challenging project because we were to redesign a particular product, which should be more appealing to the costumers in terms of features, solution of particular problems, availability, and cost.…
