Abigail Colvin Mr. Sanders Chemistry II 12 May 2016 The Chemy Called Al Introduction Chemistry is the study of matter and its properties. Even though the term chemistry has not always existed, chemistry has always been a part of life and is essential to life. By understanding the basics of chemistry, many discoveries and inventions have been made that improve life.
The article written by Brian Rohrig titled, NASCAR: Chemistry on the Fast Track, released in the February 2007 issue of ChemMatters, tackles the interesting challenge of relating racing to chemistry. Throughout the article, Brian uses the technology and equipment utilized in the sport to draw connections between the general field of chemistry and NASCAR, a famous North American racing series, whilst explaining the general rules and regulations unique to the NASCAR series. Many individuals today seem to forget that science is not only found in a textbook, research paper, or lab. Science is present in our world everywhere, whether it is racing, gaming, or simply breathing. Chemistry can also be found in every single interaction in the universe,
I filled N-400 and had and passed the language and history interview. I received a letter indicating that I needed some more documents. Enclosed please find a copy of the letter and the interview results. I would like you to file the response for me. Unfortunately, my health is on relapse phase now and I cannot work a lot, please consider a discount for me.
Before reading “Nickel and Dimed: On (NOT) Getting by in America”, my perception of blue collar Americans is much different. I had figured that blue collared workers in lower paying jobs were not very hard working people, and that they still made enough money to have decent living conditions. Before reading Nickel and Dimed I thought that if you had a job and were not making enough to get by that you were probably a lazy person. Reading Nickel and Dimed really opened my eyes to the quality of life workers in these jobs have made me realize that you can be employed at a Walmart or as a hotel maid like Barbara Ehrenreich was and still be living in poverty. I learned pretty early into Nickel and Dimed that only having one job at this level of jobs
I learned about Occidental from my family, my cousin Brian Smith is the offensive coordinator for Oxy's football team and his wife Liane Smith works for Oxy as well. When I visited Oxy I was able to experience the school for what it really is, an amazing community. Everyone I talked to, students and staff, were very friendly and made me feel right at home. I was able to attend the homecoming barbecue and football game and it really left me with a great feeling about the school. My main interest in Occidental is that it is a liberal arts school.
Nickel and Dimed, written by Barbara Ehrenreich goes in depth of workers that have minimum wage jobs and are trying to survive in the U.S economy. Ehrenreich’s goes incognito trying to work in low-end jobs. Experiencing the hardships that many Americans face, Ehrenreich learns that money is not equal to the work and grief put in. Everywhere in the novel, Ehrenreich expresses that owners of corporations keep the workers down. As quoted, “…everyone knows they have crossed over to the other side, which is, crudely put, corporate as opposed to human" (Ehrenreich, 22).
Although Salt to the Sea is a story about things that have been lost and people enduring extreme hardships, it is also a story about hope, family, and love. In the novel Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys, a band of refugees find unlikely friends and family within a group they formed to help each other get through the horrors of the war taking place in 1945 in Germany. The characters board a ship to bring them to safety in western Germany, however it tragically sinks and only 1/10 survive. The love and bonds that were created amongst strangers eventually gave them will and hope to carry on and to survive.
Growth mindset and Grit are two traits used to help a person with success. Some one with a Growth Mindset can learn from their mistakes and help them change the problem in the future. Grit is the amount of effort put into passing or overcoming a problem till you master it. I believe to have a Growth Mindset you need to have Grit. Having both traits will help you push forward and not give up till you are satisfied and most of the time to prove people wrong.
It has been so amazing taking this class because so many things are developed from the knowledge of chemistry. Before this class, I have never realized how much of my life actually revolved around it. It is so awesome to think that every time I go into my room and see the painting on the wall, chemistry was used to come up with the optimal paint used for it. It is also fascinating that temperature has such a large role in the compound of the paint itself. I have always noticed that the paint on houses in Arizona always seems to chip faster that the houses in a slightly colder area.
Westchester High School has always offered a limited number of honors and advanced placement courses. Last year, to my dismay, only Mr. P. was teaching the AP Physics class I had my heart set on. From my peers, I had heard that he was an unskilled teacher because of his poor classroom management and lack of instructional time. Taking this class was very important to me because I enjoyed science, wanted a challenge, and hoped to get AP credit. So beforehand, I already knew that I would have to learn AP Physics on my own, but since I have had experience with terrible teachers before, I felt that I could handle the class and was ready for the challenge.
The Process of Reflection The process of reflection is central to clinical supervision. Launer (2003) describes external and internal factors in supervision whereby clinical practice and sharing skills are external and reflection is an ‘internal conversation.’ Brunero & Stein-Parbury (2008) discussed the effects of clinical supervision in nursing staff and argued that self-reflection generates a sense of self-awareness and knowledge to the individual. Supervisees or students may be asked what happened during a clinical event, how they felt, the implications of their actions and what they would do differently if faced with the same situation.
As I reflect on the past 15 months of attending CCU. I recall the excitement, and the overwhelming stress of having to work full time and attend online college. I was not sure that I could complete my degree at fifty years old. Because of being out of school for over 30 years. I was somewhat reluctant to give it a try.
Introduction During the four-year study in the program of Accounting and Finance, I have gained the professional knowledge, and also obtained the precious experiences in life. This year, I have learned a lot during the process of the working on the capstone project. In order to have a deep understanding of myself, the essay will make a summary of the capstone project and myself.
