I learned that I can be anyone I set myself out to be and it does not matter what other people think because I am unbranded. However, it wasn’t until later into the fall semester when my want to become an Orientation Leader was enriched. Dealing with being uncomfortable in this new environment and worries about my family at home left me flustered and confused. I felt alone…

themselves when it comes to decision making. I know that there are people who need the help of others, but a choice is always personal. That 's why I have the courage do try new things or “volunteer as tribute” when I see fit, because I look inside me for the right choice. My bravery shows when a task is asked upon my peers and myself, and I stand up first. Among my friends, I am the one they look to when something needs to be done. Although I have encouraged them to make personal decisions,…

When I was a child when someone asked me, "What are you going to be when you grow up?" My answer was always, "I am going to be a nurse." When I attended college the first time, my answer became, "I 'm not sure what I want to be." Right out of high school making the decision of what you are going to do for the rest of your life is scary, so I juggled back and forth from teaching and nursing. I eventually decided to take a break for a while until I knew what I needed to do. In the process of the…

a.p. 27-task 14 Choosing content that relevant to pupils, is very important in a language lessons. This is based on 3 assumptions. 1.

I am currently volunteering at Emmanuel Christian Church (ECC) in Battle Cree, and I have completed 15 hours as of today. My main duties are to teach Burmese children how to speak and write Burmese (Chin) language effectively because some of our children are encountering difficulties to communicate with their parents who do not speak English. Therefore, ECC decided to offer summer class for those who want to learn Burmese language with free of charge. As a result, I have the opportunity to…

Aunt, Melinda found me on the floor and congratulated me with forced smiles and hurt in their voices. Immediately I ask what was wrong, and I have then guided to the lobby away from the crowd. I was then asked multiple questions that took me by surprise, “Did…

I went to sleep one night, and woke up two days later in a hospital room, surrounded by a dozen strange people, with a breathing tube down my throat...and everyone telling me to RELAX. Are you kidding me?! The good news is that I recovered quickly. I had emergency brain surgery Tuesday morning, woke up and had a burger by Thursday night, and left the hospital the next Monday. As a high school swimmer I trained five days a week and…

in a general sense. During the second quarter I took an Art Studio class, which helped me to understand more about the art therapy aspect of trauma treatment. In the future, I plan to take Psychology classes to create more understanding behind the types of patients and individuals that I may encounter at my future clinic. In talking to my academic adviser, I have been told of the various pathways that can help me in reaching my goal of helping trauma patients. By majoring in fields like…

Funnily enough, I discovered what I really wanted to do when I started working at Chick-fil-A during the summer before my sophomore year. All of my friends had warned me against working in fast food, quoting horrible smells and ridiculous customers and tons of grease. But I had a sister who had been working at that Chick-fil-A for a few months,…
