Part A

1A. 2
1B. I will communicate often with my classmates and ask my professor for help whenever I am in need. During my field experience, I plan to converse with experienced teachers and ask for any advice that will help me succeed in this course, as well as in the future. Having people to rely on for guidance will help me grow as a student and as a preservice teacher.

2B. This semester I plan to go to as many MNEA meetings as possible. Being involved in an organization, pertaining to teaching, is a great way to remain up to date with the growth of education and new discoveries in the industry. I plan to not only attend the MNEA meetings regularly, but attend all of the events that take place outside of the meetings as well.

I believe that displaying energy and the will to work is a strength of mine because I enjoy working in a classroom environment. During my time teaching Junior Achievement, I will show up to my assigned class with enthusiasm and a positive attitude. I plan to administer each lesson to the best of my ability, in order to motivate my students.

Areas for Development

7A. I need to improve my efficiency at planning, organizing, and managing time.
7B. I find myself planning things at the last minute, which causes me to become unorganized and fall short of time. During my time teaching Junior Achievement, I will strive to plan my lessons in advanced and come to class rehearsed. Also, I will keep a separate binder specifically for my Junior Achievement course; this will help me remain organized and prepared for each lesson that I will be teaching.

8A. I need to improve my ability to use all available class time.
8A. As a preservice teacher, I have noticed that there have been instances when I have time to spare or not enough time at the end of my lesson.

I am Jimmy Nguyen, a graduate from the S.T.E.M(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) program of L.V Berkner High School. Unlike the classmates in the class, I am the type of person that will work hard in order to achieve a goal that would eventually help me hit my milestone. My strengths are being able to work with classmates, fighting back procrastination, and hardworking. My weaknesses are time management, being organized, and prioritizing. It is required to have at least double the amount of time I am in class, so for this class I am required to have at least four hours of study time outside of class.

ASAM 100 has been one of the most insightful classes I have taken in college—so far! Through this class, I was able to learn a great deal about my culture and about myself as a person. In retrospect to my first “Why ASAM?” essay, I still believe that it is important for everybody to learn about their culture sometime throughout their life. I was able to learn about various topics such as: the issues of my culture, the traditions of my culture, how others view individuals of my culture, and more. Throughout this class, I learned about the Model Minority Myth and its effect on individuals of Asian background, I learned about issues that other Asian Americans faced through the video, Asian American Voices, and I learned to grow as a writer.

The NA meeting had a guest speaker named Adam, the most surprising thing about meeting were candor and humor evoked by the speaker. Adam acknowledged that he has been addicted to drugs for seventeen years, and this behavior started when he was in the 7th grade.

Actually, I didn’t have any perceived notions about attend NA meeting, my only contention was to better understand this community.

Lessons in class are rushed and left unfinished due to the tight time restraints placed upon teachers. They are given an inadequate amount of time to teach the excessive amount of material given to them to cover and, more often than not, they fall behind in their lesson plan, leaving them unable to teach all of the topics in each of their classes. Teachers struggle in reciting the entire lesson within the given time. With the extra fifteen to twenty minutes on their hands they could

I learned in this activity how crucial time management skills will be to my ability to complete this course successfully. The analysis from the questionnaire (Table 2) as well as keeping a record of what activities I focus on for a couple of days, opened my eyes to a few areas of improvement. From the patterns observed I could see that most of my time was taken up by work and commitments as well as procrastination. Not being able to juggle theses successful led to irritation and was unproductive. Research suggests that managing ones emotions, being self-aware and self-motivate can be factors for success for a student (Allan, 2009).
