Throughout my experience participating and contributing in the community, positivity and support are the two values I aim to bring to every activity. Whether in my community or in a classroom at Huron. While taking a leadership course at Ontario Education Leadership Camp I learned a great deal of what it mans to be a leader. This course, by guiding me through activities to engage and focus on education, reflection, and growth, taught me many values that I was able to put into effect in my life that I intend to include in future endeavours and in my school community. From this wonderful experience understood the importance of support from my peers which I had brought back to my school and councils along with an infinite amount of positivity. …show more content…

At Huron, I want to be apart of causes, committees, and experienced that will have an everlasting effect on who I am as a person as well as for those who I am around. I have had similar experiences like this and it is the something I look forward to while attending Huron University Collage. I had had this experience when I worked with the mother at Rose of Sharon community Home (a shelter for young mothers). I could see on their faces when I visit them while volunteering and hearing their stories and backgrounds I had made a long-lasting relationship with the young mothers. I had learned a great deal from that experience that had affect me whilst I helped them. Along with at Huron, and any organization I plan to be part of I want to have this same experience as it made me feel immensely proud of who I am and what I am doing for my …show more content…

Instead of the university being viewed as a place to reflect on this culture it has now and to fully embrace the consumer culture. But market driven education places increased value on speed and less on reflection. Getting the ‘product’ or certificate at the end becomes a lesser value because less effort was placed on learning for the sake of learning. As a result, students develop a ‘you teach me ‘attitude rather then one that is effortful towards the engagement within their chosen

He does not like how his students have taken on the role of the “informed consumer” or the “calm consumer expertise” that fuels their responses (4). His strongest claim here is that universities are “ever more devoted to consumption and entertainment,” and he supports this claim of fact throughout this section by giving his readers a taste of what he is covering in the sections to follow, and it is one of many of Edmundson’s examples of ethos (6). He mentions how critics have many theories as to why and how “education is in crisis,” and he makes a concession by giving that to them, as long as their theories are “used well” (6). Towards the end, Edmundson states that in order to further understand what is behind the culture here in universities, the “realms of expert debate and fine ideas” need to be left behind so that these “experts” can let the behavior of the students on campus and in classrooms speak for itself

Following my graduation from ASU, I hope to attend Physician Assistant school or medical school. As a medical professional, I would like to work with underserved populations and follow in the footsteps of my grandmother. She worked as a nurse at a large corporate hospital, but also volunteered her knowledge and time at a local free clinic. My grandmother found time to give back despite raising four kids and a hectic night shift schedule. I hope to set a similar example, and always manage to give back to my community.

By taking on leadership roles such as being president of environmental club and public relations of class council, I am a mentor to others all while sharing the same interests and providing opportunities for them to build their own character. Prior to this school year, I was fortunate enough to attend a weeklong event called Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, where I lived there for a week surrounded by young leaders from all over south jersey. In this experience, I learned that being a leader means being understanding of others and their situations. With this experience I was able to bring back what I learned to my own communities like environmental club. Not only do I have to be organize and communicative, but I also have to be a role model to members of a club by showing my own good character.

The values of compassion and accountability are only two of what I like to represent in my character. Leadership is also a big part of my identity, as I am a student representative for my school’s student council. If there’s anything that I’ve learned from being on student council, it’s that passion is the most important driving force in leadership. I joined the student council on a mission to proactively help build and make my school a better place, not just by being good in my own academics, but also leading by example for my fellow students. And like everything else, I don’t like to be insufficient in the work I do for the student council, such as creating school-wide spirit days for the students to enjoy after an entire grading period of work and hustle.

I think parents are a leader to youngsters, teachers are leaders, coaches are leaders, businessmen are leaders.” This quote is perfect because honestly as high school students not everyone may believes they are a leader. For me, I have set an example for others through different forms and opportunities. This year I had begun volunteering at Seashore Gardens Living Center where I help the residents, along with a variety of recreational programs. During the activities, I help in every form possible, such as being a host.

Greek mythology has brought several stories of fervour, bravery and utmost god-like skills which people love to dwell on these days. Somehow, the ancient Greek myths and legends have brought some of the world's studied philosophies. And somehow some religious, political and educational institutions have referred to it as a basis.

In the course of the year, due to the Peer Leadership program, I feel much more motivated. At the beginning, I was insecure and unable to carry out the responsibilities successfully. Many times I found myself out of place and expressing myself was a challenge since I did not feel confident. But I have been able to feel part of a group for the first time in a class at school. I can share with other peers and unwind more easily in front of them and out of class as well.

The overall semester definitely had its up’s and downs . As a Peer Mentor I have learned to appreciate my hardwork much more and also learned that speaking up a lot is key to key action to many things. One of my goals for the semester as a Peer Mentor was to get to know my peer mentees on a friendship level or maybe as acquaintances. That goal actually came true in a way because I only made three acquaintances only. Another goal I had throughout the semester was to go outside of my comfort zone a little, I really didn 't like to talk in front of the class.

One of the unique aspects of the Department of Child Development and Family Relations is that many of the department’s large core courses offer teaching assistant opportunities to undergraduate students. Teaching assistant opportunities are valuable for undergraduate students to decide whether to apply as a graduate teaching position, great addition to a resume, and for a letter of recommendation. From my teaching assistant experience, I was able to fully grasp the concepts of middle childhood development, form a new appreciation for professors and teaching assistants, and reflect on myself as a student. In addition, I had the opportunity to strengthen several essential skills such as organizational skills, leadership skills, and communication
