Community of practice

Imagine sitting with a group of your closest friends. Girls that have everyday you see each others blood, sweat, and tears. And then they just leave you. That is what happened to me last year. We had just finished choreographing our impressive states kickline when my coach told us to come and sit down. She felt as if we were not practicing like a team that wanted to win. As a competitive person who puts my all into everything, I was immensely disappointed in my team. The captain then spoke up…

For this week’s lab there were two readings. The first was “Hamilton's rule and kin competition: the Kipsigis case” by Monique Borgerhoff Mulder. The second reading was “To give and to give not: The behavioral ecology of human food transfers” by Michael Gurven. The first reading, discussed how nepotism is shown more often when animals have more resources. This makes sense because if you have no resources, then you have nothing to give through nepotism. For example, a wealthy business owner has…

I have had the please of volunteering many times in a classroom at Platte County Elementary School. When I was in high school I tutored a first grade classroom, so I went back to the same teacher and she was more than willing to answer some of the questions that I had and it was great to see that her classroom is still functioning the exact same way it was eight years ago. This only means that the way she manages her classroom must be very effective. This was a great opportunity for me to…

around the practice field, I saw nothing but cameras, media people, and news stations. Since I played quarterback, the spot light was on me the entire practice. I am not going to lie; I was kind of nervous at first until I got in rhythm. Overall our first practice of the day went well, considering it was at the crack of dawn and half of us were still sleepy. The weather was perfect New Orleans weather, Seventy- eight with low humidity and a light breeze. At the end of the first practice, our…

and judgmental. The lack of knowledge of how to manage ones thoughts and decision making can as result affect life in general. The first time I practiced mindfulness I was not familiar with such method. However, I found my thoughts to drift as I practice how to be mindful. During a mindful checking my thoughts consisted in school, work, my Lsat exam and how I was going to make time to enjoy myself. The amount of stress at that time preoccupied me, but after I practiced mindful checking I felt…

today’s society regarding the morality of this issue; through the practices observed in the country of Netherlands, Widdershoven attempts to break-down and subsequently resolve the negative stigma and arguments that are often associated with the act of physician-assisted suicide, or euthanasia. In doing so, his primary focus lies in the way that pro-arguments have subsequently developed during the previous thirty years of euthanasia practice in the Netherlands. He further goes on to show how…

The discipline on a disengaged trainee is a thought-provoking concept on an account of when new information is presented to employees it is for the simple fact that this information is important for their future with the company. A trainee should be eager to learn any new knowledge that is provided from the company, moreover showing an appreciation for the company will make a good impression. This impression that the individual is making will show that their personal skills, knowledge, abilities…

For almost six years I worked for you as the bather of your small pet grooming business. Recently, I have been thinking about the training I received for the job and how it affected me as an employee. I am writing you this letter to explain the aspects of the training that were very effective and how you can continue to leverage them to produce great employees and an overall high-quality service. I also am going to discuss what I think lacked in the training process and how it could be improved…

perhaps they were due to my natural inclination to play the role of an expert or leader as I do in my personal life. Having a self-congruent style was one of my goal during these practice sessions as I tried to be true to my personal qualities within the counseling experience (Hackney & Cormier, 2013). Furthermore…
