Work experience

An experience one goes through can build character, destruct, change the way we see future scenarios, or be life-altering. Sometimes we are placed in situations where we simply do not thrive. Other times we are crafted and molded into a better version of ourselves. The latter of the two describes a personal experience where I was presented the opportunity to manage all production aspects of a spring musical at my high school. Learning to manage every facet of a live musical theatre show…

I enjoyed having additional assignments this week at internship. One assignment was to find a free of cost trauma support group. Unfortunately, I could not find a support group for victims of sexual assault as hoped, however I provided a few essential resources to the patient. Although Kaiser has many group treatment options for patients, all require a co-payment. Co pay’s vary depending on the patient’s insurance benefits. In this case, the patient was not able to afford paying $20.00 each week…

describe the three different meanings of information, some of which compare and contrast to my own information-seeking experiences. Information-as-process, as defined by Buckland, is “the act of informing…; communication of the knowledge or ‘news’ of some fact or occurrence; the action or fact of being told something.” By comparing this definition to my own information-seeking experience, I agree with Buckland in that…

firsthand overcoming obstacles in life when I joined the football program my high school offered. I joined my high school’s football team after the summer conditioning in 2013 had been completed so I was treated like an insignificant “no body”. I had experience in the sport however I was never given a chance to prove myself. Throughout the football season of 2013 I was given very petty task of little importance. I did not participate…

Experiences early in life enrich one’s wisdom. Wisdom is defined as the soundness of an action or decision based upon an experience. Jerry, the 11 year old protagonist from “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing, gained wisdom when he completed his journey of going through the tunnel. He gained wisdom by realizing that he should not have been concerned about the thoughts or actions of others, by realizing that patience is needed to complete a task, and by realizing that some things in life are…

After reading the chapter “Project Classroom Makeover”, readers may have spotted that expert knowledge and collective knowledge, as well as crowd sourcing, were mentioned in the story, and more importantly, were being labeled as two completely different forms of knowledge acquisition that are in constant battle with each other. In fact, Cathy Davidson, the author of the story, stated how “crowd sourcing is suspicious of expertise, because the more expert we are, the more likely we are to be…

I believe that the human journey is to create your own path, this means to make your own decisions and this will not always be easy. It will likely take time and effort to be able to reach the level of success you choose depending on how hard you work and how you play your opportunities. This can become difficult, especially while growing up, because of the influence others have on us. For example, parents can largely impact a child's growth by pushing them towards one career path or another.…

The famous philosopher, Marcus Cicero, believes that, “The greater the difficulty, the greater the glory.” Many people have different experiences with difficulty, and most admit that when they are faced with a difficulty in their life, they usually give up. Difficulty, depending on the matter, can make a person have different reactions, but the most common is when their own problems are making them feel bad about themselves. Someone may be trying to fix an issue with their life, but realize…

The days I could attend school, I talked with my teachers and asked them if there was any way they could help me make up all the work I had missed. Some teachers told me it was impossible to make up all my work and put me down, which gave me little hope that I was going to finish the school year. The teachers who said they could help me would tell me to stay after school, which I did, but they would always stand me up…

Everyone goes through things in life that block their way or are a hindrance to moving forward. Whether it’s stopping them from reaching a personal goal, or if it is a constant struggle through everyday life obstacles make life challenging. These barriers bring a certain level of difficulty or disadvantage in reaching those goals. Some examples of obstacles that people might face might include financial strains, loss of a loved one, mental blocks, or a even a disability. Although it may seem as…
