I have made many friends including Cadet/Private Sommermeyer and Cadet/Private Tatum. These many friends extend beyond the JROTC classroom and will no doubt be there when I most need them to be. Another thing ROTC is good for is community service hours. My counselor has already given me a community service worksheet to fill out whenever I do something and she says it will help me get into a much better college and will also look good on my Job/college application. JROTC also inspires me to work hard in school and out of school.
Education & Training Classroom Observation (Shadowing Reflection Summary) Name of Participants: Shelby Roesler, Kayla Bowland, Pre-K. I chose this person because, I have worked with her all summer long, and I looked up to her, now that she is my assigned teacher, I get to know her better as a teacher.

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.
I chose to do my research topic on The Role Head Start plays in the life of the community, families, and children education. Throughout my career I have had the pleasures of working with different age groups of children. I have taught preschoolers for over ten years now and I have also taught different childcare curriculums. The most exciting and rewarding job that I have taught was with The Montgomery Community Action Agency Head Start program. From a parent of a Head Start student to a teacher of the Head Start program I can clearly say that Head Start has made a difference in my family life.
In my church, Central Baptist, we really believe in service and helping others who may not be able to help themselves. I’ve been on multiple youth service trips, including going to Colorado, New York, and Key West. During all of these trips I have learned many different ways I could help people and be of service to them. We have done everything from working in a food pantry to painting houses and landscaping the church. I feel really good knowing that when I help others; I may have made a difference that lasts a long time.
Due to my perseverance, I made it and have the educational background that I have been trying to get for many years. * In addition to the reasons I stated above, a college education is important, because I can learn a lot of things that are beneficial to me later in life. I can learn and improve on my reading and writing skills. I have to write essays and reports which help me improve my writing techniques. I can improve my communication skills while in speech class and working on team projects.
I was raised in the Greek Orthodox religion and my church was close knit group of people that were always there for one another and the sense of community within a society was instilled at me at a young age. The societal belief system I identified with at this time in my life was Judeo-Christian. When I was 13 I went on a mission trip with my priest and a dozen or so fellow parishioners to Mexico and we stayed in an orphanage for eight days and built a house for a family nearby. This was an incredibly eye opening experience and it made me realize that although I loved the mission trip, I
Additionally, Louise regularly attended church from when she was an infant, so she was placed in a social environment involving peers and structure that positively impacted her cognitive development. On a similar aspect, Louise was also able to transition into Erikson’s initiative-versus-guilt stage with ease thanks to her parents raising her in an authoritative manner from the get go. Louise was always encouraged to act independently, which set her up to gain
Every week my family and I attended mass through its ritualistic merits. For me, I was brought into morals and beliefs as a result of my constant exposures. The issues of religious authority are important to most at this stage and are often, if not rarely challenged as in my case. As I grew older, matured and went off into college, I was able to cognitively realize that there are contradictions between some of the authoritative sources and I began to move forward and reflect realistically on them. In turn, I began to move to the fourth stage of James Fowler's theory, the Individuative-reflective faith stage.
In this paper, I will attempt to detail my life throughout my developmental stages. From the early developmental stages to middle adulthood, my life’s experiences have taught me tremendous lessons about growth and development. Consequently, retaining the experiences of all the stages of development will contribute greatly to my transition to later adulthood. My life, from adolescence to early childhood years, was not very complicated at all. From my earliest recollection, I went to church every Sunday because both my mother and father were ordained ministers.
