Chapter 4: Introductions and Conclusions I liked the visual of “framing” an introduction and conclusion. As a visual individual, I can spend hours picking the best photo (color, black, and white or sepia), then I still get to select the correct style, color, and size of the frame for the picture. I am beginning to visualize how important introductions and conclusions can be to a writer and their readers. The idea of a “mini-expert “ is discussed throughout this book. The benefits of becoming…

Mr. McGee's Senior English was one of the hardest classes that I have ever taken in my high school years. There was a lot of coursework, but along with that he explained it all. Even though the class was hard, it was also very enjoyable. I liked all of our crazy conversations that we had and always "bringing love into it" as Mr. McGee would say. I know there are many things in this class that I possibly could have done better on, and I know there are some things that I have done well. Through…

Becoming a second-year student in high school made me wise as a person. I wasn't nervous anymore from freshman year. I began to find my comfort zone with opening my locker and walking through the long three-story building hallway. I was able to find my way easily through the crowd of students in the hallway. I felt better knowing I had a little more advantage over the freshmen and eighth graders. Although many students weren't excited about the eighth grades coming into the high school including…

like to now teach undergraduate and graduate level courses at an accredited university. I was blessed and fortunate to learn from some amazing professors in college. Their knowledge and expertise motivated and inspired me to pursue excellence in my coursework. What my professors did for me, I would like to do for others. All of the positions have researched state that a doctoral degree is required to teach undergraduate or graduate level courses, so earning my doctoral degree from Concordia will…

Garrett Gomez Professor H-B English 001-13 Due: October 27th, 2017 Title Is technology beneficial to the education system? As technology becomes a more prominent facet of our everyday lives, it has slowly begun to emerge within the educational system. Education in the United States is fairly traditional, systemic and is not easily changed by policy makers. Though technology gives education a new dynamic approach to learning, there are many skeptics who support the studies showing that…

In the 21st century it is important to have a good career. It is important to start looking from young age. In my research, I have found five careers that have the potential to become one of my future jobs. The five careers I have chosen are becoming a teacher, a guidance counselor, a career counselor, becoming a psychologist or lastly becoming a pharmacist. A teacher is a person who teaches. Their responsibilities are to always have lesson plans prepared. Followed by teaching classes and…

focus. Professional mental health counselors are required to obtain a master’s in counseling and cover the coursework that qualifies them to work with individuals, groups, and often families. Many professional counseling programs follow the standards set by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) although each state will have certain coursework requirements before one can achieve licensure. Licensure is possible in every state and requires extra…

globalization. As globalization allows for the interconnectivity of people, especially through the means of travel, this gives me a deep appreciation on travelling and also the possibility of interacting with people of a different national culture. The coursework that I’ve taken during my Loyola career concentrates heavily on the struggles of inequality. I’m usually asked to analyze the systems that…

I request that you accept this proposal for my final project in Writing 465. Overall, I would like this project to benefit underclassmen students in the graphic design program at Winthrop University by providing a mentor program to assist, guide, and care for them as they prepare for the Specialization Review. The development of this mentor program would create a less stressful environment. The mentors would also help improve the student current portfolio and offer a better understanding of…
