Class I railroad

Purpose and Aspirations My initial and only purpose when I enrolled into the course was to be a more competent presenter in delivering business presentations, but little did I knew I will achieve so much more than this. In the first day of class, we were told to list down the characteristics of our ideal persona, a projection of our aspired self. When I was asked this question, only one person came to mind, Jenn Im, a YouTuber that creates her content around fashion and lifestyle. She has the…

of the class is lecture, and then there may be a lab attached to go along with what is learned. Exercise Science Lab was different than any other class that I have taken in the exercise science curriculum. The entire class was a lab class itself. The lecture was very minimum, and most of the time spent was conducting tests and collecting data. This class provided me with the opportunity to implement everything that I have learned in other classes by putting it all in a practical sense. I am a…

life that I believe needed to be changed in order for me to succeed in accomplishing my goals is my time management. For so many years I’ve struggled with being able to get to places on time. I learned that once I actually started to acknowledge and care about my bad habit was the only way I would be willing to change it. Working on my time management was hard but not nearly impossible. I had to change my outlook on certain things so that my mindset would be prepared and ready for change. I…

Discussion Topic: Intentionality Quotation: ‘Short and Short found a significant relationship between the teacher’s deliberate actions and students’ on-task behaviors.” Analysis: I agree that intentionality has a direct relationship to student behavior. In my preparation for class I deliberately write down areas in where I need to probe for questions, provide extra assistance for students in need, and engage in special activities that may relate to the subject. Intentionality is about having a…

I think I’ve most developed in Altruism, Professional Presence, and Honest and Integrity. Growing up I was always the oldest, so I felt that it was my responsibility to take care of my younger sister and her friends. Over summer vacation my freshman year of college, I received a call from a friend of my sister. She and her boyfriend were at a party and their designated driver had gotten too drunk. Instead of lecturing them on underage drinking I got out of bed, put on some clothes, and went to…

me. Two reasons I believe this occurs are I always challenge myself to do great work and I am also patient with other people. Unfortunately, these are two traits I suspect contributed to a challenging team experience, from which I was able to learn a lesson. I believe these are quality traits, essential for me to be able to do any good group work with other people. As such, I will need to continue to employ them, but in a correct manner, as I will have to work in teams as I continue in my…

I was in the military for 23 years and based on the job positions I have held, I have done quite a bit of public speaking. During my time in the Army, I held several positions such as an Equal Opportunity Representative, an Operations Officer, Pre Deployment Briefer, Drill SGT/AIT Cadre and eventually First Sergeant. With those types of positions, I had to brief anywhere from 30 to sometimes 350 Soldiers at a time, sometimes right on the spot. The most formal speeches were to two star generals…

The Gang of Misfits Red, all I see is red. Flashes of punches, crowds of people, and sounds of cheering meet my eyes, and anger fills my every being. I have become so sick and tired of this place, some may call it high school, but I call it prison with a view. The gang of misfits weren’t always the gang of misfits, we used to all be alone until today because today is the day I fought for my freedom. Let’s take this story back to the start of freshman year, not too long ago, but feels long…

at the beginning of class we still actively complete a check in for each and every student. Over time, check in has begun to become a quicker and quicker process as a group. I am beginning to become a large supporter of checking process. Reasoning’s for my support of check in is the emotional check it provides each student, as well as personal refection. Lastly I support check in as it provides the opportunity for individuals to open and express themselves with others, even thou it’s only…

The second class that I was given the opportunity to shadow was Ms. Brown; a fourth grade teacher. The administrative personnel recommended her to me. They said that she is a great teacher and that I was going to enjoy shadowing her class. When I entered her class I felt a lot of positive energy coming from her and transmitting it to the students as well as to me. The classroom was small and there was little room to walk around, but the classroom was organized with a less clutter than the first…
