Every since a very young age, I'll I've ever known is football, more importantly Minnesota Vikings football. My dad is maybe the biggest fan there is, every Sunday, Monday or Thursday game, he's watching. Always cheering or yelling. That’s a big one, he yells like the referees can hear him. I could never have friends over on Sundays because of the yelling. Even though football has been around me for so long I never really understood the game. I tried multiple times to understand, but it just…

It’s amazing how short it took to complete the long-census form. Thirty minutes, one siting and a cup of coffee to stay focus. It’s quiet a simple task to fill out the survey because the questions were straightforward and the examples for each question answered all the misconceptions I had if any about each question; however, what exactly is the long-form census and what is it used for? In my experience the long-form census is a survey used to collect data from the people of the country. The…

Talking to someone who I knew all my life, my brother Kevin made this interview effortless. As I turned on skype on October 11th, my questions were in one hand and a voice recorder in the other I was prepared, I was ready! Sitting in my comfortable computer chair in a room that contained the essence of lavender scented air freshener, like a wild fire it was spreading with the assistance of the box fan on directly behind me, transforming the room into a cool artic breeze. Once he answered the…

Cedric knew he wanted to either be in a pulpit as a pastor or on a stage with bright lights as an actor. He achieved one of these goals when he moved to Atlanta, Georgia at a very young age. At the age of twelve Cedric had his first piece, Spoken Word Artist published nationally ("Biography."). He achieved his goal of becoming an actor while working full time in corporate sales. Somehow, he made time to participate in a very…

compassion,” (220). This quote along with the rest of chapter ten really made me realize how serious the internet revolution could become. Those are some of the best qualities one can have as a person. The word humanity is based on the prospect of kindness and sympathy. We use these special words when we describe what is so great about being a human. It’s what really separates us from all of the other animals in the world. If the internet can really change our brains to the point that we don’t…

Word of mouth is the process of transferring information from one individual to another by means of communication. Every single day word of mouth is visible: friends recommend restaurants to one another, a teacher praises a book for a student, a blogger writes about their new computer. In business, word-of-mouth (WOM) is harnessed as a marketing technique used to advertise a product by indicating customer approval (or disapproval). This is commonly completed by electronic means (also known as…

On October 21, I recorded a 25-minute session with Sarah Alford. We spent the session brainstorming, discussing ways Sarah could research her topic, and planning how Sarah could develop her paper in the most efficient way. By the end of the session, Sarah wrote down a tentative plan to complete the first draft two weeks from now. After I watched the video to review my performance, the video revealed that I have improved in keeping eye contact with the consultant, letting the consultant do most…

At the very beginning of the interview I noticed how much I was looking down to document what Amy was saying. I was so focused on making sure I had documented everything Amy said and I think I lost some meanings by not watching her body language. If I were to put myself in Amy’s position I probably would have felt like I was just there to answer a bunch of assessment questions and the therapist really did not care what I had to say. The empathy was there in my voice, but not in my actions, so…

teacher or counselor’s e-mails. By having access to all of these e-mail addresses I will be able to keep up to date with all of the assignments I may need to turn in or that I may have coming up. Thanks to this class I am also able to function Microsoft Word much more efficiently than I was able to prior to coming on center. I had forgotten a vast majority of the tools and functions that Microsoft Office is able to perform. I had completely forgot how to work Microsoft Power-point but after…

Does it ask all of the necessary questions to determine what the client’s presenting problem is? Yes, the intake form does ask the necessary questions for the presenting problem. First, the client is asked to describe the problem specifically, how long the problem has been occurring, and precipitating events that may have led to this problem. Next, these are key questions because they make the client think in more specific terms. It is necessary to help the client think about the problem…
