The Better Half

Coaching football session that was coached by Charlie Legg, football coach of the youth football academy (under19) of city college Plymouth. This session was observed during the 16th of November at 3:00 o’clock. The session was done in an hour and a half. When the session started the coach started talking with the player about what they want to train on that specific day, this allowed the player to analyse their own weaknesses and decide what to do to work on them, the coach then steps back and…

First, large cities overall have better economies. “Scientific American” said in another article titled “Bigger Cities do More with Less” that “If eight million people all live in one city, their economic output will typically be about 15% greater than if the same eight million people lived in two cities half the size.” (Bettencourt & West, Scientific American). If more people living in a city is better for the economy, with 8 million in one city is 15% better economically than 8 million in two…

some of the ways we were deceived in our childhood history classes, she brought up memories that most of us could look back on. I along with her and probably a majority of our class, reminded the kindergarten activity when half of the class dressed up like pilgrims and the other half of the class dressed up like Indians. Bringing up ideas like that really got me interested and listening to her. Her speech was very well organized and I had no troubled following her transitions from each topic to…

During the first half of the semester for ENC 1102, I believe that my writing skills have improved from ENC 1101; some of which are getting to page length, correctly citing a source, and incorporating how a quote is related to my argument. I still have some errors within my writing that I have not quite figured out how to tackle. Some concepts that I have not gotten down to a tee must be coming up with a thesis statement, basic grammar errors, introducing quotations, and repetition. I have also…

Discussion posts have always been a challenge for me simply because I struggle with not having an opinion, but stating it and defending it. In my writing, I have made many mistakes including but not limited to grammatical errors, passive sentences, and limited syntax. However, my discussion posts also have several positive qualities: evidence from each module included and outside information presented. Therefore, discussion posts I have presented include both negatives and positives that improve…

I had challenges and progress with first, writing the research paper, second, the reader-response essay and third I gained a better understanding of being a writer. Henceforth, I have made it a point…

Engaging in short casual conversations with employees can lead to a better understanding of the employee and encourage them to feel more comfortable sharing concerns, questions and ideas. I believe smiling more at work will give me the best results at changing the perception that I am always serious and unapproachable.…

the numerous assignments given to me over the quarter help me become a better writer. I think the JITT Posts, Bi-Weekly Refection and The Memoir were the main assignments that had the most important impact on me to become a better writer. When coming to college, I had many opportunities to explore multiple different writing styles and genres by doing numerous JITT Posts. I think the Sept 28 JITT Post mainly helped me to better understand the importance of language. Professor Durnell said,…

studying. My mind gets of track and sometimes it can be hard for me to get anything done. Another improvement I need to make is how much time I leave for studying and homework. Sometimes I procrastinate and before I know it I am only left with only a half hour to get all of my homework done for the next day. In the beginning of the semester, I viewed myself as overwhelmed, nervous and dependent. I had a lot of anxiety about the semester and I did not know how I would juggle both school and work.…
