Written Responses This is my first summer participating in the UBMSC Summer Residential program at UNLV. Five ways the SRP experience could improve my life personally and academically: I would receive more Spanish speaking experience. I would receive better understanding of Algebra and an introduction to precalculus. I can meet other students from different schools and learn to branch out more. I can learn about the college experience from actual college students. I would get to reside, attend classes, and become friends with a large diversity of people. I do believe my grades accurately reflect my academic potential. UBMS SRP can help me prepare for college because the program can help me score higher on college entrance exams and …show more content…

For example, I volunteered at the Convoy of Hope in the fall of last year. I also did some volunteer work at the First Lego League tournaments for Nevada’s local elementary schools. I have demonstrated leadership in school in multiple projects and events, such as the Multicultural Fest. I show leadership in school by taking responsibility and making sure we stay on course. Some of my strengths as a roommate are that I am a very understanding and laid back person. I have good manner and morals. I am also neat, outgoing, and I always clean up after myself. I make sure to put things back where I found them. Finally, I am kind and I never take things without asking. Weaknesses I might have as a roommate may be poor communication and/or social skills, as I am a little shy. After the first couple days, I usually feel comfortable with people and I don't feel as out-of-place. People who know me might be surprised to know that my favorite color is red, I lived in Ohio 13 years of my life, and I want to play softball in college.

I didn’t quite like my roommate at first, since we came from very different backgrounds. Looking back, I was definitely too quick to judge. While she came from a more privileged lifestyle and sometimes didn’t understand why I didn’t have the same perceptions on certain issues as she did, she was a perfectly fine roommate. During the second semester, I met some of my best friends, with whom I am living with now. I also tried to become more outgoing, and joined Tufts Film Series.

My original recipe, turkey tetrazzini called for a package of regular spaghetti noodles, butter, chicken broth, 2 cups of regular milk, 4 cups of chopped turkey, and grated parmesan cheese. I modified this recipe to include whole-wheat noodles, olive oil, low sodium chicken broth, and skim milk. Whole-wheat spaghetti was added to increase protein, B vitamins, and fiber content. Olive oil was used to replace the butter because olive oil contains vitamins E, K, & fatty acids. I decided to lower the sodium levels of chicken broth because sodium is a nutrient that I need to be more aware of in my diet.

I took initiative and carefully guided us through the initial fumblings. Soon, I discovered I liked my roommate Grandma better than my former roomer, my sister Mallory. She expressed interest in my day and wanted to hear about my friends. Grandma loved to offer advice on every issue we discussed.

For me this class has been a learning experience. From using the red ball exercise to break the ice and then working with random partners for Improvisational acting. It started with Professor Slater when the first I went to class and he told us that we were going to be tossing an invisible ball to our classmates. At first this felt a little awkward and weird, but doing this over and over in separate sessions really made me feel comfortable and helped me loosen up.
