Serving FBLA for the past 2 years as an officer for FBLA has allowed to me to experience many things I will need in my future as a potential business leader. I have learned to be a leader and become more responsible, and timely with my tasks. I have reinforced my communication skills through the many events, where I have met new people and left my comfort zone. I have also gained confidence in myself. Last year, I did not choose to compete at state even though I had placed at section because I was lacking the confidence.
The expedition was no place for quitters, which is why the captains both picked specific people to perform this insane task. Ambrose’s work definitely opened my eyes to see what an undertaking it was for that time period, Lewis spent months just planning out the whole thing, and as the expedition began there were many problems encountered, but he was stubborn enough to push through them and carry out one of the greatest expeditions in U.S. history. I think its amazing what this group of mostly strangers was able to pull off, considering the times and the limited technology, this feat thought to be impossible by nearly everyone. After not hearing from the expedition for almost 2 years it was thought they were all dead, or lost in the wilderness, but on their return in September 1806, everyone on the expedition is considered a
My grades did take a slight decline during my first two years of college, for sports and work consumed large chunks of my time. I had to accept my limits and make the ultimate decision to drop sports from my schedule, so I could get my grades in good academic standing. Accepting that limit was one of the best decisions of my life, because I was able to uncover what it is I truly want to push myself
My second issue would be my ability to proofread. I always miss something when I proof read, once my other half reads it, he finds it right away, but I just cannot see all of my own errors. I would say my third problem is tone. Sometimes I am not sure which tone to use and if it is being conveyed correctly. I plan to work on all of these things, I am sure this class will help me learn all the skills needed to make my papers better.
I use effictive and clear verbal communication to all which I believe promotes a strong working relationship. It is important for me to communicate in the correct way to ensure that the needs of each service user are being met. For service users that are non verbal I have identified their communication needs by ways of makaton and visual aids. Most recently a service user came in to our service whos main communiation method was makaton. Although I have been on a makaton course, I rarely used it so I was not fluent in my signing.
Once we calmed down, we were able to take out our disagreement and come to a consensus that we both were wrong. We were having a discussion about our children. Everyone knows that those types of discussions can either go good or bad very quickly. This one just so happen to do so. Normally, we would not argue about children, but the statement that was made by me was taken out of context.
We noticed this when I first changed the number of orders of production which ultimately didn’t arrive until “2 weeks later,” causing the confusion and the beginning of the end of our first attempt. Also after actually playing the game, when we re-read the instructions we had a better idea of what was going on with the interaction between the four stations and weren’t as lost. We ultimately ended our first came around week 30 when there was no real hope to recuperate from all the
It’s very hard to explain, but I feel like I wasn’t connecting with the audience, like I was speaking a different language. Although, I think my topic made it easy for them to relate. I think this might have been because of my nervousness, Im not sure. I don’t have issues with speaking in front of my residents at work I’m very comfortable with them. Sometimes I find myself thinking at work, “see this is how its supposed to be in my communications class.” Memoria (memory) of the Five Canons of Rhetoric by Cicero was definitely my most weakest point.
I think it will be better for me so that I won’t get confused by switching to a different learning style. This will be a better feel for the differences between the other styles of learning. Sometimes when I have to learn with other styles it’s a huge challenge for me because I have to focus on it so much to where I always end up saying “screw this, I’m done” and put it aside until the last minute then I realize that the assignment is due the next day and I still end up putting it aside. One of my big weaknesses that I run into a lot tends to be the most used learning style with most colleges. That weakness of mine is reading.
By which I mean taking the time to organize a schedule that works for you, you don't need to burn every brain cell you have, to do this either. I like to set aside a few hours a day to actively study, or even just to simply brush up on something, I set a personal goal to learn something new everyday. Cramming for an upcoming test has been proven to be ineffective, while allowing for very short term recall, this keeps you from being able to remeber information you need on a long term basis. Another huge part of your Study Skills tool kit is taking notes, with the way in which you choose to do so having a large impact
