Learning A New Language Class Analysis

Great Essays
We like to know more things in our life. Learning a new language is one of those things, and it might be something hard for many of us. But if we learn a new language, that will give us a lot of adventures such as having a better chance to get a job in well-known company and giving you a better communication skills. It also can help you to be closer from your goals. When I was in high school, I could not speak any other language than Arabic. After I graduated from high school, I decided to study abroad in order to learn a new language, so I went to the USA to learn the English language. I spent nine months at a language company, and it is called TLC. After that, I got an acceptation to be a student at Valparaiso University, and I went to this …show more content…
As soon as I attended to be a student in core 115, I got a lot of interests feeling to have more knowledge about the leadership qualities. In this class, I got a lot of assignments such as reading three books and letter. I also had to watch a move. I learned many things from these assignments, and they are called: “swipe & hope”, “One Day, All Children”, “Antigone”, “Invictus”, and Martin Luther King, Jr. - Letter from Birmingham Jail. After I read the “Swipe & Hope” book, I found a good quality that leaders should show their people love and mercy, and should not murder or kill their people. Also, they should not treat their people as animals because they are humans, and they have to be respected from their leader. “One Day, All Children” tells me that to become a leader, I should have a faith in myself even though that there are a lot of people do not agree with my ideas. Because this faith in myself will keep me working on my ideas to become real, and these ideas will benefit my society or community to be better than before. I really liked “Antigone” book, because it says that we have to do what God wants us and ignore man rules. We know that God knows the best for us, so we have to follow his rules in order to win in this life and go to paradise. After that, I watched “Invictus”, and I learned many things from this movie. I learned that leaders should sacrifice for their people by servicing them and giving them what they need. For example, Nelson helped the rugby team to be prepared for the world cup. He afforded for them sports tools and a lot of supports from their people, and all of that got a great result which was holding the rugby world cup for the first time in the South African history. I learned from Marten Luther King that leader should not show any differences between a white or black men/women because we all are brothers and sister, and God created us

    At the age of twelve, I left the woman I love the most in Vietnam to start a new life with my dad in the United States. I was always wondering why my mom did not want to go with us, and our family could live together. But then as I have growing up, I realized that she sacrificed to stay there, so my dad can take care of me better. Remember the first day I went to an American middle school, I was clueless, difficulty in communication and the people around me have different cultures, and ethnicity. When in Vietnam, I felt so confident and proud of myself, but in United States, I started isolating people, I felt inferior and started developing a shell to cover myself from the world.…

    Leadership Kathy Dunlap Bethel University MOD 310 April 24, 2017 Kameke Payne Leadership No one theory of leadership has ever been accepted by all, but the common thought of leadership is that it is an influence process, occurs within a group, involves goals, and attainment. Some people think leaders are born with a trait that innately makes them leaders, while others theorize that it is a characteristic of an individual, but we have learned that leaders are a product of their development and life experiences. Leaders are concerned with understanding people’s beliefs and gaining their commitment. They function without focusing on the opinions of others, which allows them to think of new ideas and motivate others to develop these…

    However followers and leaders should share a mutualistic relationship where all members work together to play their individual part. I learned that there are many different types of followers and the best followers seem to be emerging leaders. While these followers may have learned these abilities by their self the leader should use their transformational leadership skills to foster the follower and enhance abilities to possibly one day take the leaders spot. This way not only can he or she play the role of a follower especially well they can also step up and be the leader if need be. I think that shows how the different types of leaderships are entangled.…
