Throughout the years however I have found myself to be in situations where knowledge of diversity has been key and my approach to handling those situations to have a positive outcome has depended on the little I have learned and practiced over the years. Our learning styles are the different ways in which we perceive and process what we experience. I plan to use the learning wheel to my advantage by focusing not so much on my strength but in way to strengthen my
Being a part of drill team has helped me with control by helping others in learning routines or chants with taking charge when others do not. I learned that although I am young, I am in control of my own progress, and I am the one who can change situations for better or for worse. The biggest impact my drill team experience has given me, is determination to push myself to achieve. Without the heart or skill to do something there is no progression. This experience describes the dedication I have to go to college because it showed me I am capable of handling the challenges it may offer.
Plus before taking COMM 150 I took ENG 101, so I was already a head of the game going into COMM 150. Yes I do feel after taking COMM 150 that have the appropriate research sources, since ONET was very useful in researching the finer points of my career. The way it influenced my evaluation of the four information sources I used to cite my professional plan assignment was that it made the research easier to retrieve, so I spent less time on looking up sources so I had more time to type up a well written paper to hand in. I would like to have more sources for future papers so that I can get more point of views on my career choice. Having more research sources will also make me more satisfied with my work, and I will not stress whether the paper if up to my standards as well as the
And just what is missiology? It’s what effective Christian missionaries study and practice. They make it their business not only to understand the timeless gospel message, but also the culture in which they are ministering. They understand that communicating effectively means much more than learning the language. Effective missionaries are lifelong learners of culture, working to understand where their people currently are so they can lead them to a true, yet truly enculturated, understanding of the grace and truth of Jesus Christ.
In the very first chapter, Nick Caraway, the author and main character, says that he learned to reserve judgment of other people from his father. Then when he later first mentions Gatsby, he states that he represents everything that he resents, but he reserves him from his normal judgment. In chapter 3 he states, “Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known (Fitzgerald 59).” But as the story continues, the reader becomes aware of the irony. Another example of moral flexibility comes from Tom, a wealthy man living in East Egg. He has a fairly public affair with a stout woman named Myrtle.
Every teacher that I have known has taught me a lesson, but a significant amount of what I have learnt and implemented in has come from Mr. Ansley. Mr. Ansley and his morals has had the greatest influence on me, which, in turn, has taught me responsibility. This instruction of responsibility has empowered me to discover who I am and what I can do. His sense of support is an aspect that has had a profound effect on me. I believe that his push broaden my opportunities because it requires that a person be confident in his identity and that he know his necessities, intent, and limitations.
For example, I have built a very good relationship with my English II Honors and AP Literature & Composition teacher, Mr. Brian Thelen. Though Mr. Thelen didn't always give me the grade I wanted, I knew that by learning from his suggestions I would become a better writer and student. He taught me that by developing my reasoning ability and enjoying the process of analysis and understanding rather than searching for a final solution, I would be more successful. My church community has also been instrumental in my academic and personal growth. The members of my church community have provided me with the support and encouragement to achieve my goals.
Mrs. Brandt talked about her concern of my comprehending level not increasing at the same rate as my classmates. She told them she had been working with me one on one, but that I needed more practice and more one on one time that she could not provide. She suggested that my parents take me to a tutor or to Sylvan Learning Center. Mrs. Brandt stressed that comprehending was a very important skill to have and that if I did not acquire the skill I would struggle with literature the rest of my life. My parents came home that night and told me what Mrs. Brandt’s concern was.
If we are to have a society that looks for the well being of all people, we must learn to recognize that as people we are diverse and must learn to embrace one another with love, respect, and honor each others’ uniqueness. For example, in “Race, Class, and Gender: An Anthology” by Margaret L. Anderson, and Patricia H. Collins (2010), provided a wealth of information in the narratives they produced from the different scholars and teachers they worked with and interviewed to make this book inspiring and an eye opener to understand our world better. Transformation is not easy and we must be willing to change the way we think on many different issues that deal with gender, race, discrimination, and acceptance of each other despite our differences. The narrative that really touched me the most was “From A Native Daughter”, by Haunani-Kay Trask. I have not appreciated history as much as I should have, not proud to say; however, after reading this narrative it opened my eyes and mind that not everything we read or hear about history is the truth.
If or when you decide to choose me for this program I will not let you down. I want to be enrolled in AVID for a lot of reasons. First reason is that I will learn how to be more efficient in my school work. In the past I have had problems staying organized and focused on school and schoolwork, but my organization skills have gotten better as well as my focusing skills. Secondly,
