Fulfilling my purpose: The Next Chapter of My Life
The University of Michigan is one of the top ranking public universities. The campus is very large and has many valuable resources designed for its students to be successful. For example the Shapiro Library (UGLI) and the Hatcher Library have many different types of study spaces. On the first floor of the Shapiro Library there is a large study area which is not too quiet or too loud and on the second there are smaller study rooms ideal for small groups or individuals. On the second floor of the Hatcher Library there is the Reference Reading Room which is well lit and very quiet, making it ideal for reading or studying. Another place that I have found useful is the Fishbowl which is located in Angel Hall. The Fishbowl has many computers, printers, and small work spaces available for students to take advantage of. These places on campus help promote a productive learning

Similar to Neuroscience, Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience (BCN) is an interdisciplinary major that incorporates concepts of Psychology and Neuroscience. It broadly focuses on these disciplines and why individuals behave and respond the way they do. In addition to majoring in Neuroscience or Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience (BCN), I am also interested in double-majoring or minoring in Spanish. Although I speak Spanish fluently, I would like to use this as an opportunity to practice and expand my vocabulary. Also, I want my Spanish skills, speaking and writing, to be at the same skill level of my English skills because up until now I have mainly focused on improving my English. Going into the medical field, I think it is essential for employees to be bilingual because they can provide their services to patients more

In transitioning to and completing college, the most significant challenge that I expect to face is time management. My college prep coordinator taught us the phrase “Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.” With all the demands, activities, opportunities and more provided from Universities, managing all of those responsibilities might be a challenge for me.

    This week, I started to see patients on my own at the Health Department. I saw more infants compare to when I was at the Vine Clinic. I noticed there is a high prevalence of Hispanic patient population in this office, which explained why there were three Spanish interpreters at the site. The preceptor who I am with also can speak some Spanish. I do see the benefit of having a bilingual provider when serving a population like this.…

    Thanks to my parents migrating from Mexico to the U.S., I had the opportunity to be raised in South Texas or, as locals call it, “el valley”. Growing up in el valley is different than growing up anywhere else in America. The community is made up of primarily Hispanic Spanish-speakers who live in lower-class neighborhoods. At an early age most children from the area, including myself, are taught a skill that is valuable in today’s society, which is being bilingual. I recall going to school where I spoke English and then going home where I spoke Spanish.…

    Lonestar Field trip The campus resources that I chose are the library, cafe, gym, and the office of academic success. I chose these resources because the library contains information I might need in the future and has entertaining aspects such as a 3D printer, a virtual reality headset, and Wacom tablets used for drawing on the computer which I could use for various art projects. The cafe is a place where I can get something to eat after school, it is very handy when I am on the campus and want a bite to eat. The gym has a lot of after school activities which I enjoy because there are things like Zumba or fitness classes which I would normally have to pay for a gym membership outside of school for.…

    Helping Hand Ken Bain’s book was a very interesting book. Before going to college, I didn’t know what to expect from college, but reading this book has to help me in ways that showed me what to expect from college. This book showed me how to focus on my grades, how to follow my curiosity, how to become a “deep learner”. I did enjoy Bain’s advice on how we should enjoy college and get an experience. Doing this project with my classmates is an educational journey for us because we can all learn from what we do for the community.…

    Oh Council of Music, the time has come to address a grave and dreadful issue regarding the vile and insolent outsiders who have been invading our own practice rooms. We have a policy that you have set in place which truthfully states: “practice rooms are reserved for students only.” We also have in-room rules that declare: “no eating, close the door, don’t touch the AC, and turn off the light when done.” However, these infiltrators rebelliously break most to all of those laws, and they shouldn’t even be entering because they’re not even students-even if they may insist that they are!!!…

    The Benefits of Bilingualism Being bilingual means being able to use two languages effectively in four skills such as reading, writing, speaking and listening. Because of the demanding of English language in almost every aspect of life since English language is one of the global languages, there are a lot of people who are willing to learn English as a second language to improve their life.

    As I reflect on my personal life I value life itself to the point I live each day not knowing what to expect the next day. Positivity is a major factor in all that I do to the point of trying to view all things in a positive way and leaving the negativity out the door. As a mother, partner, educator, and entrepreneur I strive to be mindful, spiritual, and conscious of all my actions. I value these things because this is what makes up my life and what I live for each day. My life is a fourth generation person and I relate because I “want to live, love, learn, and leave it like a seed with balance and joy" (Covey, 73) the quality of my life is more important than planning it out.…
