Life experiences: The SNU Adults Studies Program When I First came to SNU I was very apprehensive about starting school. I had so much on my plate, a sick mother, working a full time job and a daughter in high school, I did not think I could not do it. My friend who had went through the program as well as a friend who was in the program at the time, they both encouraged me to go, their beliefs in my abilities to be able to go through the program, gave me the confidence to start. I met with Mrs.…
I got the opportunity to do my internship at Houston Methodist West Hospital. I have been working for Methodist for the past 4 years in our registration department and out of those four years, I have had the opportunity to work with 3 different management teams. Although, each of my management teams delivered different methods on how to properly register a patient under 7 min or less, our goal we have always strived for was keeping our patient satisfaction scores at a high. Our organization…
The definition of what it is to be an American varies from person to person. The development of what it is to be an American to you can come from life experiences, goals, and simply the feeling of desire. Presenting to the table of the world your personal characteristics and contributing these to achieve self-fulfillment is what being an American is all about. As a woman, going into the medical field, the job requirements I must adhere to become even broader. I am to be mentally and physically…

their goals are when they are younger and in school. What do you want to happen while you’re in school? Get good grades, be great at a sport, or become more spiritual? My goals are to get straight A’s, get under 13 minutes in cross country and become closer to God. My questions are, how am I going to do that? Will I become a better person in the process of these goals? These are ways I think that I can achieve these goals this school year and become a better person in the process. My first…
fitness program for myself I had to go back and review my Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire or PAR-Q to ensure that there had been no changes medically that would limit my physical abilities. The PAR-Q reveled no limitations, so while developing my fitness program I focused on cardiorespiratory, muscular endurance, flexibility, and most of all nutrition. After determining what I wanted the program to focus on, I then determined that goals for each component of the program. In the…
Marathon, killing three and injuring several hundred. This was the date when I decided to change my field of study from an important but broadly insignificant focus in mechanical engineering to one in political science. It was in the wake of this devastating blow to America’s security that I realized the important role I could play in shaping foreign policy and security initiatives should I devote my life to the study of international relations and the political infrastructure of the United…
walks of life it amazes me and motivates me to become apart of the process. When I first came across Ashland Theological Seminary, I looked over all the degree programs they had to offer. Once I came across Life 631, read the description of the program, and watched the video I was moved. I heard God calling me to Ashland and I also felt a connection once I read about Life 631. The Masters in Practical Theology is the degree program that I felt a pull towards. When I noticed that the Life 631…
Control. Everyone wants to be in control. Whether it be with their family, their friends, their finances, or their health, the idea of control holds a lot of power. As I walked into UW2-240 at 1:10pm for my 1:15pm class, I had no idea how the idea of ‘control’ would shape the course I was about to take. As class began, Dr. Boss asked us: “How much control do you think you have?” Personally, I didn’t even know the answer. I thought it was to be viewed it in terms of class structure. Typically,…
New Year’s Goals This is a start of a new beginning, that’s what I think of when New Year’s comes around. I believe that when the New Year’s comes, it gives me and others around me new possibilities that they could not or failed to achieve in previous years. I take advantage of this opportunity not to change who I am, but to improve in area’s that could possibly ruin my life in the future. January is just as a chapter in a new book, and that is where the journey begins. I primarily want to focus…
