The Unanswered Question

This current semester I had the opportunity to do a project that allowed me to visit one of my friend’s family to observe her three girls. I observed her three daughters to see how each one of them is developing. I was fortunate enough to have three different ages that are at different stages of life. One just started school, the other one is not in school yet and the youngest was born less than a year ago. It really opened my eyes to how two year differences can really impact the stage the…

contrasting ideals that may provoke questions (Carroll, 409). Entering college for the first time is a vulnerable time for anyone who has been brought up all their life to think and believe as they are told. College freshman, Alfred Corn, was experiencing this unfortunate crisis. (Carroll, 409) The knowledge we individually obtain throughout our livelihood constantly evolves and adapts to new information and experiences, unfortunately learning too much at times makes us question our current…

of investment on a company’s part, but it has been shown as a smart way of vetting unsuitable candidates out early during the application process. During a speed interview you can expect to be put in the hot seat and hurried through a series of questions. In such a scenario employers aren’t wasting time, so you best come prepared and in an attentive state. Another popular variation is the second interview (or series interview) technique. Employers who choose this are really looking to deeply…

Plato’s “Meno”, Meno prompts Socrates to answer a question concerning virtue and whether or not it can be taught. Socrates approaches this question with another question, which requires Meno to first define virtue. He explains to Meno that his approach is wrong and in order to answer a question about the nature of something, we must first understand what that something is. Socrates and Meno then engage in a dialogue in which they inquire into two questions: what virtue is and whether it can be…

For as long as I can remember, there is a specific question that I have asked myself: Why am I here and where am I headed? The fact that I am unable to answer this question completely drains my energies. While I am sure that a number of individuals struggle with this question, I have found that I do not even understand the question itself, much less its answer. For the longest time, I remember being so lost that I no longer recognized the person in the mirror. Looking back on my high school days…

interview my husband of 17 years. Perhaps my own discomfort highlighted some of the cringe worthy moments during the 60 minute interview, including asking about the first time he had intercourse. The anxiety made me question if I truly wanted to know the answer to the sample intake questions. After all, I can still hear my grandmother’s voice a few minutes before my wedding telling me, “lo que no fue en tu ano no es tu dano/ what was not in your time is not your harm,” meaning I must not to…

from crying in one minute. This required following directions, collaboration, completion of the challenge, and critical thinking skills. After this the students had the chance to read more about an article related to the topic and answer open ended questions on it. For my anticipatory set I engaged every students by making it fun and easy. I threw a ball to a student and asked to say the first thing that pops in their head when I say the words “Baby.” They then passed it to each other and…

I have been a student of WKU for 1 year and in these two semesters what I have learned and experienced are more than I thought. Before I came to WKU, I knew that WKU is an American University that most of teacher’s native language is English and only speak English in the class. The reasons why I came WKU are I want to improve my English and try to study in the American way. Actually, going through this freshman year, I have learned a lot and changed a lot. The first thing I learned is the…

Both cases had to be documented. I documented the 19 year old case in an email and sent it over to my supervisor to correct. I find that on a day to day basis I am learning new things. I hope to eventually be able to make a CPS referral and to ask questions in an OB consult. I find that the more practice and observing I do, the more experience I will gain. I feel that I have been working to my fullest potential but I do feel that I could improve by allowing myself to take initiative and by…

routine because students came in sat down and began working on their warm-up question. I thought this was a great idea because it helped students focus on the subject matter right away. It also gave the teacher time to set up for the lesson, which is very crucial for this teacher because he does not have a homeroom. Another teaching move I observed was giving time for student to form an answer. He did this by proposing a questions and then instead of asking for an answer immediately he let…
