Despite external views we are first and foremost a non-hazing sorority and in no way wish to belittle or humiliate any of our sisters. Our Sorority places emphasis on what a sisterhood truly is through tradition, history, bonding, teamwork, positive influence, and motivation.…

    Communication is of essential importance in any workplace, relationship, and gathering, which creates efficient leadership within a group. Towards the closing of my junior year, I was elected to be one of the few student board members to my school’s National Honor Society. Achieving board member status for this renowned society of students is an eye-opening experience. Adapting to the responsibility that a highly respected board member carries of such a prestigious group truly distinguishes differences between the ordinary member and those who collectively lead the organization. From coordinating induction ceremonies for incoming members, to communicating with local providers for community service events, being a representative of…

    As a possible incoming student, who not only desires to, but needs to learn and attend a favorable campus, the things that I can offer and/or bring are my experiences and skills. I will try to help enrich the campus community as much as I can.

    Many older adults recollect their lives with fond memories, allowing them to have hope and preserve their integrity (Berger, 2010). I would like to leave behind a sense of accomplishment for me and my family, to show them that life is more than what we have currently made it to be, which is living for the weekend. That the younger generation can do better than the older generation in regards to health, emotional health, financial stability and enjoyment of life. To “live a good life” would involve me being able to assist the people I love with their dreams and aspirations, whether that be with money, inspiration or just someone to talk to when they have joyous or devastating news. I want enough time, intelligence and compassion to do for others in ways that will affect their lives in a positively.…

    For my reflective essay I have chosen to look at the challenges of working with older people in a health and human service setting and in particular how this would challenge me to work as an effective practitioner in the discipline of nutrition. In the last five years I have worked and spent time with older adults from different settings, some who are healthy and engaged in all areas of their lives, living independently and contributing to their community.
