When I was 12 years old I wondered why my mom would cry. When I was 13 years old I wondered why her eyes were empty. When I was 14 years old I asked her why. When I was 15 years old I heard her stories. When I was 16 years old I learned depression is real. When I was 17 years old I learned depression isn’t sadness. When I was 18 years old I learned the right words to say. When I was 19 I learned what words not to say. A thick, grey cloud sits above my house. And waits. Its presence is intense and…
1. Over the years, I have learned there can be numerous definitions of leadership. When a non-rate on-board the Coast Guard Cutter Boutwell, I thought leadership meant obeying the Chief or First Class Boatswain’s Mate. There was no questioning the commands or giving feedback. I followed orders as a result of their legitimate power. When I finally went to A-school and earned a Third Class crow, I learned from my supervisor at Public Affairs Detachment San Diego that leadership focused on building…
Patricia I have learned many things in this class, some of them have helped me in many other aspects as well. I have learned a lot about myself and about the aging, and I am assured that after completing this course, I have improved. I have started to feel that my world and my preparation for the world have also improved ever since I have taken this class. Taking this class has taught me different techniques to consider when dealing with aging. This topic was of great interest to me. I learned that…
Break Point 3.1 I believe that I learned a lot about music through all three of the methods listed in the book. As it is common for most young people, I have mostly acquired my musical knowledge through formal means, in a "school" setting. I joined a choir in fifth grade in which our choir director taught us solfege, sight reading, and other musical skills. Since I started learning these when I was younger, I was able to retain them slowly and gradually until I became fairly good at using…
been a debate about the leadership, does some people poses this quality by birth, or people are trained and educated and they become leaders. However, for me leadership is necessity to poses because it is part of my job. I studied for four years in the military academy and one of the key elements that we were taught to have is leadership. After graduation, and on my first military assignment I had to prove to myself, what I have learned about leadership and what I am going to learn about leadership…
something that has always been interesting to me. While taking this class I learned thing about myself that I never knew and what they meant. The timelines that we did really helped me reflect on myself and where my goals in life were and where I was going in life. This has helped me to look at things a little bit deeper as I am now expecting my first child and what I may see in her as she grows. The theories that I was able to learn about in chapters 5 and 6 have helped me to know things that are good and…
To begin, I will answer the question of what I knew about hermeneutics prior to this class. Now I will preface this by admitting that I really did not have much knowledge as to what this subject pertains, but what little I did know I will share. For instance, I was aware that the first definition of hermeneutics is interpreting the Bible. From context of the definition and a few different things I had heard from other people, I gathered that interpreting did not necessarily mean translating it from…
It can be said that, when we ask others intimate questions about ourselves, we gain a perspective we have not previously explored. This is an interesting concept, especially when we decide to interview those people with whom we are close. First, I interviewed my long-term boyfriend Jeremy Salter. He gave several answers that shocked me; I disagreed with some, reluctantly accepted others, and yet learned the most with his answers. Next, I interviewed my coworker and closest friend, albeit of only…
While coordinating and overseeing this project, I learned many things. I not only learned about myself, but about the people who volunteered to help and the Little Jags. I learned that a little help and an extra push goes a long way in a child’s life. The teachers do genuinely care about them and want them to succeed, but sometimes, they just cannot give them the help that they need, simply because there is one teacher and too many students. I have learned tons just by watching the Little Jags and how…
What have I learned about myself this year in the world of english. I have not just grown as a writer or a reader like most people would think is all about. I have grown as a thinker and a little bit as a speaker. In the socratic circles I am fine because people are up there with me but when I am alone I still clamp up. That is one thing that I will have to work on throughout high school because it will be a very important factor in life when I am older and right now. Last year during freshman english…
