Hit Him Again

now, it takes a lot to get me really fired. I can not accredit my change in personally to just my faith, because during my under graduate years, I strayed away from the church. It has been nice, since starting my masters, to begin finding my faith again. I believe that as I continue to advance through my program, I will continue to grow stronger in faith and close to my Savior. Looking back at recent occurrences in my life, I cannot think of a time where I have actually reacted to something in…

Being bilingual has not always been so effortless for me. I was born in a refugee camp and can speak from experience. Before I was born, there was a civil war broke out in Somalia; my parents home country, we fled to a refugee camp situated in Dadaab, Kenya. Once safe, the struggle with nature began. Four kids out of eight survived past the age of three. I was the third to survive, breaking the cycle. Shortages in food led to malnutrition and we found ourselves eating spoiled food to survive.…

The job of an educator is not easy. Teaching offers new challenges to face, and new questions to answer every day. I worked with high school social studies students. Both rewarding, and introspective, the experience was incredible. I examined the skills which make me most apt to work with students, while also finding some areas to grow in. Exploring the career of teaching in this course, I had an excellent opportunity to assess my desire to enter this profession. Teaching is a wonderful…

It was a calm, warm and windy Monday morning. The car was packed with everyone’s luggage and it was filled with happiness, excitement and junk food. We had all been waiting for this big day. We had prepared ourselves in advance so there would be no delays. The previous night had lasted for decades. But it was finally over no more waiting for this, the time had come, it was happening. The first hour into the drive was driving me nuts! We were still in Houston and the whole point of this was to…

life and some went to the dark. Although each had a different ending they all related in a way. In 1984 the acceptance was dealing with society. The main character, Winston didn’t agree with the way of life surrounding him. Once he found someone else in the same situation with him, Julia, they rebelled together. First, mainly for sexual reasons later on grew into a more serious rebellion phase. When they were caught and tortured mentally and physically, they both started to accept the change.…

Yes, I’ve been fortunate enough to have served in a variety of ministries such as a seniors day program, Church choir, respite camps, Best Buddies and so forth. I find working with the SENACA seniors day program to be my favourite experience. This program entails a wide range of responsibilities and duties. Some days it might be doing tasks like cleaning or taking out the trash, while on other days it’s more focused on planning and doing activities with the senior clients. It’s an absolutely…

cause, no one in the world can achieve something because one can only be as perfect as his flaws allow. August Wilson’s play, Fences, explores this theme of trying to be the best that one can be through the protagonist, Troy Maxson. His past defines him, where it is fitting to define Troy, and any person for that matter, as the sum of one’s experience. As the choices he makes in the play are defined by prior events in his life, he believes that his actions are justified. Through his roles as…

Prior to conducting an interviews or beginning my strengths assessments, I had a very good idea in mind of what my strengths were. I’m still learning to identify my weaknesses are, but from the start, I knew what I was good at. I’m a good people-person, and staying organized and on task is one of my most valuable strengths. I received more assurance when listening to my closest family members tell stories of me at my best, and learning my top five strengths. When interviewing with my dad, he…

We had our heads in the game and pulled out the first few points. As the game went on, we were back and fourth. I had my personal record for blocks and hits against a team that I was so nervous for. As I played my front row rotation and was going to sub out for someone to come in and serve for me , my coach informed me that I would be serving. Alpena had 18 points, and TC West had somewhere extremely close…

I consider Followership to be the most significant concept of Module 6, Leadership and Followership. I believe it is the most critical element of the module for three reasons. Firstly, I want to fully understand and implement the tenants of being a good follower. Secondly, it is a major part the first charge given to me as a Non-commissioned Officer (NCO) in the United States Air Force (USAF). And thirdly, I will experience a significant amount of personal and professional improvement as I…
