It was an interesting class and one of the class that I actually look forward and attend every single day. The class is very challenging because it explains abstract and amorphous matters conceptually. I never truly understood what the world is until I took AP Physics 1 class last year. The subject matters to me personally because it opened my narrow mind, it helped me to see matters that cannot be seen. The idea of force and gravity, how everything kept in place by gravity was astounding. According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, “I am pretty attractive to you” said Mr. Bertossa. A quote by my Physics teacher, and a quote that I will never forget because that is how universe …show more content…
Has any summer experience, work, travel, or study been of significant importance to you? Please describe your most significant experience. What did you learn from this experience? What was its value to you?
Last summer, I worked with my father. He is a construction worker, so I helped him with painting and cleaning. It was not a pleasant experience because we mainly worked outside of the house under hot sun. And the owner who hired my father was not very nice. I worked not for money but for precious experience. After working diligently that summer, I told myself I must study hard, and use my brain power to work, not physical force.

17. Describe your family. With whom do you live – parents, stepparents,

    At the young age of 14 I took my first job opportunity. I began work at a small corner store called “Snack Shack” on 2nd Avenue in downtown Nashville. It only paid minimum wage but for 14 it was nice. My responsibilities were simple, I had to work the register and make sure everything was neat and orderly. At the time I did not realize but this job would give me true insight on the lives of others and how lucky I was to have grown up not struggling for shelter, food, or money.…

    However, sceptics have questioned how the concept is sometimes interpreted, arguing that there is unclear logical and pragmatic examination of its value in professional development. Therefore, developing a reflective report is an undertaking that needs to be approached with caution, more so if individual reflection and critical thinking are to be rooted. The purpose of this reflective report is to reflect on the collaborative boat bus project performance and the experiences of working within a multidisciplinary group. The report will give consideration to the feedback we obtained from the client and from Adam Smith (tutor) and how we then applied this feedback to feed in the report writing. An iterative model, meaning learning through participating, somewhat adapted to the one in Bulman and Schultz (2013)’s ‘Reflective Practice in Nursing p232’, Gibbs (1988)’s reflective cycle explains the significance of the evaluation process, especially building on negative as well as positive feedback.…

    Competency 2 also states that social workers should present themselves as learners. I presented myself as the facilitator for the day, students called me teacher and I told them I was not a teacher or expert in citizenship classes but still they called me teacher. Another point Competency 2 refers to is self-regulation to manage the influence of personal biases and values when working. To be honest I don't think someone could master this point who could put aside their own values? I think in one way or the other you will always say and suggest something base on your own beliefs or values.…

    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.…

    Notoriously the easiest AP class, it was by far the most interesting class I have ever been in. My teacher, Ms. Hunter, spoke with fire about the horrors of the great pacific garbage patch, condemned the destructive practices of industrial farming, and discussed in awe the advancements of alternative energy. No teacher cared about their subject as much as she did. She even invited guest speakers and organized field trips to further our education.…

    Coming into English 170 this semester I did know quite what to expect. I had always been an enthused writer who excelled at expressing himself on paper but never at this high of a level. Now at the end of my semester in Writing Seminar I can say that my approach to writing has changed to a certain extent. Coming fresh out of high school my thoughts about writing were that you first make an outline of ideas, then brainstorm a strategy to make those ideas flow together properly, and finally form that into a five paragraph essay. I now look back on that approach with laughter.…

    It wasn’t until high school that I really began to understand how I could actively utilize that pragmatic and enthusiastic part of myself. I reveled in the increasingly abstract problems and concepts from my math and science classes that discouraged my peers. Despite that, the only class that managed to completely captivate my attention was my computer science. Every problem that I encountered in that class seemed like a thousand piece puzzle with only the tiniest of clues to hint at a way I could solve the problem; the challenge was intoxicating. Equipped with greater knowledge about computers and code from my teacher, I could take on more daunting challenges and projects than I could have ever imagined when I was nine.…

    Back to high school, I was little hazy about what I am going to do in the future. However, my parents wanted me to get into a professional job since both of them have graduated from a Computer Science degree and they have always encouraged me to follow their path. In high school, my favorite subject is Mathematics because I have a passion for solving problems, and I will always do a happy dance in my brain when I have solved a challenging question. I like the way that Computer Science makes me think logically.…

    The decision on which you set is to be your life’s course for the future is not one to be made lightly; one should be confident when choosing his own choices. So how did I decide on which path to follow for my higher education? Even when I started my high school education I only had an inkling of what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I guess what career I was going to study for really was shaped by the clubs I was in younger years. From there it was an easy conclusion to come to that I would like to either become some sort of engineer, whether mechanical or electrical, or a programmer/computer scientist.…
