Little Penguin

which helped us all feel more comfortable. By the time we got to the camp, I had already talked to a few of the girls I was going to bunk with and I wasn't as scared anymore. Even though I was opening my shell, I was still referred to as “Seamus’ little sister” by the boys. I had a long way to go, but it was the most stride I’ve ever made. We finally arrive, and I feel my stomach knot up and my head was screaming this was a mistake. I look out my tinted window to see camp, there was a cul-de-sac…

thing that particularly resonated with me was when Dr. Wolfe pointed out that on average, groups with women members tended to have a higher collective intelligence. I think that she made valid points as to why that is, and I was able to reflect a little bit about how I contribute to the groups that I have been in. In my past experiences, I have worked on engineering and design projects with groups of other students. The different components of strong collaboration style put some of what I…

basically, the brave and courageous Mo needed coffee and a bathroom, her mother and stepfather needed a tow truck, and the poor little Neon needed a break. And as if an otherworldly god heard Mo's pleas, a tow truck appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Mo's mother and stepfather's car was loaded onto the truck and dragged away. Mo, her mother, and stepfather all piled into her little Neon, and immediately begin to search for a restroom and some…

and should be filled post haste. Second, the professional and business like quality of the candidate in question. The candidate in question presented a level of professionality that seemed fit for the position. However, her make-up seemed to be a little bit on the extreme side, but I do not believe this to be a major issue looking at the bigger picture. Third, how the candidate measured up to the others. We have interviewed around 100 candidates and in the end we decided that three were worth…

want to work. There were lots of problems that happened within our team because of lack of communication. I wasn’t sure what I can do about it, the understanding and planning just wasn’t there, especially about the media log task. We all seemed a little overwhelmed by this assignment and it made it very hard to complete. I became very tired and worried as the due date approached and we hadn’t really communicated other than on blackboard. Our schedules didn’t connect so we wasn’t able to meet in…

I believe that the differences in our responses to the performance task of taking care of ourselves, result from the way that we each see the tasks that fall under this category. I see these tasks as an opportunity to have some time to relax, either before I start my day or at the end of it, my father does anything expect relax when doing these tasks. He sees these tasks as time slots. When he needs to do these tasks that he already believes are unimportant, that he could be and should be doing…

We had been aching for some fun that week, however none of us had any ideas on what “kind” of fun we wanted. The week was quite stressful, due to many tests, assignments, and life in general, so we decided we needed a good “stress reliever” for the weekend. I guess just like every other teenager, my friends and I live for the weekend, because we started planning the event for that weekend around Monday of that week. We had finally decided that we were going to throw a party at Summer Martin’s…

I haven 't paused to blog for some time now. With a crazy schedule for myself, kids, and family, there is often little time to stop and reflect. But this major milestone deserves some reflecting. And it deserves some shoutouts to some important people. And it just deserves to be written down for others to reflect on, find comfort in, and maybe offer thoughts as well. This isn 't one of my typical education and technology posts. In fact, it really doesn 't have much technology associated with it…

Both verbal and nonverbal communication are important in our daily lives. Nonverbal communication often expresses the feelings that we cannot put into words. Verbal communication allows us to convey our thoughts and opinions to others in a clear way. These go hand in hand as people use both during conversation to not only speak their mind, but to express the emotion tied to those words through their body language. As I was sitting in the nail salon, behind me I heard what sounded to be two older…

like a fit for a depression-era office building. The colors were very grim as well, which did fit the aesthetic quite well. The room gave off a feeling of being sepia toned without being too forceful about it. The room felt lived in, but only a little bit. There was stuff strewn everywhere, but there just wasn’t enough to get the feeling across that it was someone’s office. It makes sense, because the set dressers cannot make that amount of clutter without sacrificing movement of the…
