My Journey Through MCSC
I’ve had a very happy journey playing for the Mason City Soccer Club. The MCSC put a huge impact on my life, made me a part of their family and even put me through some emotional times. In this essay I am going to explain my experience with MCSC and how it benefit my life.
MCSC put a significant impact on my life. I joined the Mason City Soccer Club 2 years ago when I was going into the 7th grade. Before joining MCSC I played for park ‘n’ rec, park ‘n’ rec is a great program but all it does is teaches you the basics of soccer and I wanted to learn more. During MCSC I played on 13u for all 4 seasons because of my age, due to my age I was either the youngest on the team and played with older girls or I was the oldest on my team and I played with younger girls. I played with two different sets of girls and they both taught me something new about the game of soccer which was very exciting. These group of girls taught me how to be aggressive and how fun soccer really is. All in all

My last two seasons I played with the best set of girls, these girls were in the grades 6-8 with my sister and I being the oldest on the team. When I first joined the team I thought since these girls were younger than me they didn’t know as much as me or weren’t as experienced, but oh how I was wrong. Those girls taught me tons of things that I didn’t know about soccer, but the two things that they taught me and that I would never forget is respect and teamwork. On this team my sister and I were seen as the leaders because we were the oldest, it’s hard to be taken seriously or people see you as the oldest if you weren’t respected, but those girls showed my sister and I tons of respect and I was so grateful. With all the respect I formed a greater bond with all the girls which made me see them as another family to me, they made me feel like I belonged. All in all the MCSC made me feel respected and showed me that I have another family to rely

    I just want to bring perspective to why I decided to form a team, and why it has been so successful for me and my teammates. In this sport, unless you have lived it yourself, no one else can ever truly appreciate the lows and highs, the sacrifices, the mood swings, the doubts , the fears, the anxiety, the pleasure, the intensity, and the list go on, of what we as competitors go through in preparation for the “big day”! We are in an elite group of people that most do not, and cannot, understand. So, to have a team of girls that truly “get it”, is something that I have grown to love and cherish. It is a sisterhood that supports each other and lift each other up.…

    For the majority of my professional life I worked primarily in the private sector; consequently, I have very minimal professional experience in the public sector. While rummaging through various documents, searching for material required for the completion of this analysis, I recognized that there are overlapping and recurring themes which clearly point to who I am as a professional and, thus, the direction in which my professional life should proceed, public service. Therefore, my professional mission statement is, “To vigorously perform my responsibilities as a public administrator and to enhance the quality of public service by providing my clients with dedication, honesty and a commitment to make the best interest of all, my first priority.”…

    My experience has also made me understand that even though students should have learned a subject in the pre requisite courses, they don’t necessarily remember it or immediately make the connection to the new material I’m teaching. I ensure I review and bring them to where they can move forward in their learning. One of the hallmarks of Michigan Tech is its hands-on curriculum, and we see great success with a “learning by doing” teaching method. Our students are eager to get their hands dirty through active learning. I’m also always ready to adjust my teaching methods to match my students’ learning styles as much as I can; And, that’s easier to do during one-on-one meetings that I make available to students during and over and above my usual…

    In reflection of my learning experience, I was originally not completely sure if I learnt anything in my short time being involved with Lalor football club and their junior program, but as I began to think about my time and experiences, I soon realised that what I had learnt was actually quite a lot and of a huge value to me. Being involved in this amazing program that the Lalor football club provides I was given an incredible insight into many different facets of learning. For example, I got to experience how people were able to work together to create a family friendly, safe and welcoming football club that everyone is welcome to be involved in, the junior program is a key example of this as being involved in it I was able to see how safe…
