Field Journal 8 This week in my CT’s Kindergarten classroom I got to take a glance on grading papers along with holding a writing group. Today was an early dismissal day for the students so they were a bit more off task than usual but that was to be expected due to the interruption in daily schedule. However, the para that helps in the classroom was also absent, so it was up to me to conduct her writing group assignment for the day. The students were working on a writing assignment that…

because it does not resemble an American school building at all. The school buildings are run down and the restroom area is very small. But the classrooms are full of color and life. When I walked into Mrs. Alba’s classroom (where I stayed for my field experience), I noticed that the classroom resembled the size of my bedroom at home. It was very small and the walls and tables were…

million-degree atmosphere and drives the solar wind.” (IRIS mission overview) This mission could help us to understand how material in the Suns corona reaches temperatures thousands of times greater than its surface. It may also explain how magnetic fields cause solar flares. All of these things will help us to understand…

For Field Work Term this year, I went to New York City to work for I’m From Driftwood, a nonprofit LGBTQ storytelling archive. Primarily, I chose this internship because of the Huffington Post articles that I would be responsible for, which I did find worthwhile. I knew ahead of time that I’m From Driftwood was a small operation: consisting of its founder and board members that would scramble to find new opportunities and contacts to use for their events. There was no office space for the…

As part of my Co-curriculars, I chose for my Place GoBe to go to the Career Center located on West Campus in the SSB building. It was my first time going there, and I realized afterwards how useful this resource could be for students. With two of my classmates, we got the chance to talk with Christine Moran. After sharing to us the different resources the Career Center was providing, she gave us advice on how to be successful as a student. She first insists on the fact that it was important to…

“If physicians would read two articles per day of the six million medical articles published annually, in one year, they would fall 82 centuries behind” (Miser, 1999). Both the public as well as health care providers are inundated with information from a variety of sources. Recent estimates suggest that the web posts ~114 million English-language academic articles and Google scholar indexes ~100 million documents (Khabsa & Giles, 2014). The ability to critically review and analyze ever-changing…

I attended the University of Hartford from August of 2015 through July of 2016. I took a medical leave of absence because I was struggling emotionally and needed to attend treatment. I attended Silver Hill in July of 2016 through August of 2016. I then transitioned to an IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) in New York City from August 2016 to January 2017. As part of my treatment and in order to develop long-term sustainable skills, I then attended a residential young adult treatment program in…

Tuesday, Today started of a bit slow. I arrived at my practicum, and my field instructor was running a little late. The church is constantly under tight security and since I am only going to be here for ten weeks there no need for me to receive a key. So I waited for my supervisor in my car in the parking lot in the back of the church. He told me to arrive at eight o look, but he always at least five minutes late. After about six minutes of waiting, he arrived in his golden 2008 Chevy Malibu.…

Upon entering this virtual field trip, the first exhibit that I was very interested in was the Slavery and Freedom exhibition. The reason why, is because this is where the first roots of African-Americans were planted. This exhibition shows the story of slavery and freedom in the history of America. It begins in the 15th century, along Africa and Europe, coming all the way over to the United States. This exhibition ends with the civil war, and the reconstruction of a nation. I was very shocked…

Nursing is a very important job in modern times. Most of the developed countries ‘import’ their nurses from the developing nations. Similar import was happening for other sorts of cheap labor earlier, but they have since been replaced by machines. This allows the developed nations to further save money from the costs of the workforce. Nursing though is yet to be made mechanical by the scientists. This is because of the difficulty in emulating all of the tasks that a common nurse can do. Nurses…
