Valencia Community College

semesters of Leadership Byrnes, I have done quite a lot of community service. From volunteering at Ashlan Village, The Carpenter’s Table, Middle Tyger, Duncan Elementary, Reidville Elementary, and many others, I’ve learned a lot and I’ve seen a lot. The feeling you get after doing any type of community service is something you can explain, but you cannot truly understand how it makes you feel until you have done it. I believe the most meaningful community service that I have done, would be…

A discourse community is a certain group a person is a part of that has specific rules, way of communication, language, etc. I am a part of many discourse communities, but soccer is the only discourse community, I feel completely belonged to and it’s the most important discourse community for me. This discourse community reveals a lot about me as a person, and I want to explore how, or if, my behavior changes in this community. I also want to see if I am performing when my behavior changes, how…

Physics as a Discourse Community Discourse communities, or groups of people who share the similar interests, exist everywhere, but they become more obvious in college because each major is its own academic discourse community.

I have lived on a farm all my life and have been around heavy machinery all my life as well, so it is one of those things that is just in my blood. I have worked on tractors and trucks before, but I would like to get…

Are brand communities similar to other communities? Introduction:- Despite having so many products under the same company, why do not consumers prefer any other product? Why is that Hungry Jacks lovers not visit McDonalds even on cheap Tuesday’s and coffee lovers who prefer Starbucks like to go there for every cup they have all around the world? Why is that Harley Davidson enthusiasts don’t go for a faster bike for the same cost and instead visit all campaigns and rallies held by the brand?…

could have done something more about Networking with other social and community services in the community I appreciate that the PNWHC gave me a lot of learning opportunities during my placement. I enjoyed attending monthly members meetings hosted by Community Service Council (CSC), and Manawatu Abuse Intervention Network (MAIN) because I was able to meet social workers and key workers from a wide range of social and community service agencies in Palmerston North. Listening to these workers’…
