ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT QUESTIONAIRRE 1. Why did you attend UAA? For the longest time I’ve had a fascination with Alaska so I’ll have to say it started there many years ago.
Dear Awilda and Jeff We are approaching the end of 2015, let me take this opportunity to thank you for your guidance. Without your direction and support, the PQM Core QA team would not have been able to shape in today’s form. On behalf of the team, wishing you and your families a very happy new year !
Week seven, I cannot believe that we only have one more week after this one and then finals. I have learned so much in this class so I am really pleased especially because I know that by passing this class I get closer to reach my goals. Anyways, this week we learned about Swap space, cached management and the different paging policies.
A fair amount of us have experienced many important moments in our lives and learned or changed because of them. How would you live your life after that? In the book Whirligig, the moment that changed Brent’s entire life was when he killed Lea. He would always live with the guilt of being a murderer, but he may be able to move on. Another part of the book where a character’s life has been changed from one moment was when Jenny drove her grandmother around San Diego to let her revisit past memories of her life.
I agree with you Carmesha, I looked into to both websites and mainly men of Caucasian and African American descent were represented. I was surprised to see the lack of representation of other ethnic groups and women. Also, there was no older and disabled pictured on the website at all that I could find. I was surprised by this because we all wear shoes and I thought it would have every group represented.
As the new person among a long established team, I am learning so much right now. I have learned about Northrop Grumman’s standard of conduct: “Do the right thing because it is the right thing to do.” I have learned about what is expected of me regarding service level agreements. I have learned how each agency operates in different ways. I believe I am developing this knowledge well.
Antwan, the way you stuck to the story line with interweaving moments of internal reflection in your memoir was very effective. I could imagine the thoughts rushing through your head at each main part of the memoir: seeing the cops in the parking lot, seeing the blue lights in the rearview, waiting on him to come back to your car with your license, and sitting there on the curb reflecting back on everything that had just happened. Even with the back and forth between what was actually occurring and what was happening in your mind, your piece had a good flow without any large jumps in time. This definitely helped me as a reader understand exactly how the night really went. I felt myself wanting to know more about you as a person separate
After watching the documentary on Kip Kinkel, I came to the conclusion that they were many factors that contribute to Kip’s mental illness and the tragedy that took place at Thurston High School. The first factor that I think contribute to Kip’s mental illness was the way that Kip’s parents raised him and his sister. According to the video, Kip’s parents always thought that both of their children were going to succeed. Yet, they were always comparing both siblings at different tasks, and in my opinion, I think that is what made Kip feel like he was never good enough in compare to his sister. One perfect example is found in one of the family videos, were we are able to see how Kip’s dad encourages Kristin to do here cartwheels and hand stands.
In the third grade, I used my expertise in reading to earn a commended score on the TAAKS test. To prepare, I began reading a few months before the test date more advanced books such as The Lightning Thief and various books from the Trixie Belden series. Although I did not immediately know my score, I knew my preparation had paid off after I completed the test. The size of my vocabulary increased exponentially because I had read books beyond my grade level. I understood how to use context clues, which helped me make several inferences throughout the test.
During my years at Peoria Notre Dame HS, cheerleading has been a big part of my life, and something I hope to continue at the University of Dayton. I am an outgoing and social person and it’s easy for me to learn routines quickly. As captain for both the JV and varsity squads, I have put together multiple award winning routines, selecting the music, choreographing and teaching the routine to the squad. Besides the actual cheer routines, I have used my communication skills to keep squad members and their parents informed. I try to set a good example with my own behavior, I love helping to create enthusiasm for cheerleading in young kids, and I have learned a lot from mediating issues within the team.
From reading and studying the WORD of GOD, I am already aware of the Biblical Prophets and their messages. I was also aware that prophets were not limited to those that may have books assigned to in the canon. When reading Heschel, I was reminded of the isolation and loneliness of the ancient biblical prophets. Loneliness is something most people face at one time or another in their life.
In August of 2014 I traveled to Alajuela, Costa Rica, with a missions team from my church. Our team 's purpose was to aid the Rice and Beans Ministry. The director of RABMin, Fred Curry, warned us that not everyone that we would encounter would accept us with open arms. Fred knew that some locals would embrace us and dote on their American visitors but he also knew many people who wouldn 't. He conveniently failed to mention that some days we might return to base camp with our tail tucked between our legs and our feelings hurt.
A. OBJECTIVE AND THEORETICAL BACKGROUND In this individual reflective report, I will discuss how the Consulting Project course gave me opportunities to experience, explore and evaluate the real-life business case, how it strengthen my practical business knowledge, problem solving and leadership skills, and how the learning process will support my personal development goals. To help structure my reflective report, I will apply the Kolb’s model of reflection which we learned from the LPDCM course. This model is also known as learning through experience, described through the Kolb’s Learning Cycle: Figure 1. Kolb’s Learning Cycle (Source: Kolb, 2005)
In the first year, I was a part of a pioneering youth development team in Americorps NCCC Southwest Region. I worked with K-12 students in title one schools, Boys & Girls Clubs, Habitat for Humanity, local non-profit organizations, The Red Cross and The Salvation Army. I spent my second year working with underserved youth as a volunteer coordinator for Reading Partners in DC. I learned about the struggles that the students I worked with dealt with every day. I was also able to interact with parents and provide resources for education, housing, food, and nutrition.
How Have I Learned to Balance Penn Foster Studies with Work, Family, and Other Activities and Responsibilities? Over a period I have come to conceptualize a true aspect of life that Balance Studies, Work, Family, Other Activities, and Responsibilities are quite cumbersome. This may occur when I need to meet a set of goals for each entity. As a single mother of a teenage daughter, I live in my house with my spouse and my daughter.
