Looking back from what I did years ago until now I am very proud at how much progress I have made. I do not have one complaint about what I wish I did differently. I managed to stay on top of all my assignments and making sure to meet every deadline on time. I’ve made some mistakes in the past and I honestly wasn’t taking school as serious as I should have. Every goal that I set out it may not have been on the days I said I would complete my work, but I still managed to do it. I didn’t study when I was supposed to, but I made sure to study the day before the quiz was due so that I can pass with a good grade and not someone who just guessed their answers. I will say in my text term I need to set more time aside to study because not everything …show more content…
If I can’t study on Tuesday or Wednesday I make sure to study on Sunday and take in as much information as I can. I haven’t really had any problems there because I make sure to read the highlighted points in my book because that’s what’s usually on the test. I think I need to make some adjustments to my study time because like I said it’s easy now, but it’s going to get more difficult in the future. I need to be better prepared because I know I’m going to need more than an hour to study especially for someone who wants to become a future nurse. Luckily when my partner comes home from work he will take our son and go in the other room so I have my space and I can focus with no …show more content…
I always make sure when I wake up in the morning to thank God for allowing me to see another day because someone didn’t wake up this morning. I also pray at night and I talk to him when I’m feeling sad and I need someone to talk to. My relationship with God is very important to me. I was raised in church since I was 3; my great grandfather was a pastor there so everyone knew that I was an Issac grandchild. I enjoyed going to church, I miss worship time, I miss singing, praise dancing and I just miss that feeling of happiness every time I’m there. I miss hearing the word of God and the message the pastor passes onto me from God. I make sure to stay a humble person and thank God for everything I have because I know how it feels to take things for granted and it being taken from you to teach you a lesson so I try to stay very much down to earth and prayed
The first four weeks of CR510 have prompted this student to reflect on her years of teaching in the public school setting. Having experienced many similar complexities to the ones in the text, this student is sympathetic to the challenges facing those in the education system and is eager to find opportunities to offer a better solution for all involved. CR510 has strengthened this student's belief that a third party neutral can provide valuable benefits to educational systems at all levels.
Writing essays was never my forte, it just never came easy to me like it would to others. Since other subjects came easy to me and I had to focus more than others on writing, I had a negative attitude toward the process as a whole. During this summer semester, I was able to grow as a writer, and gain a more positive attitude toward how I write and a better feel for writing in college. Writing a paper is a process in which there are many different stages. In high school I would never write outlines or any sort of pre planning work. Other struggles I encountered in my writing were my theses, and framing quotes.
Growing up, my parents never expected perfection but expected that I try to accomplish my best. The effort I’ve put forth in learning has been reflected in my grades throughout my high school career. I’ve entered myself in vigorous course work such as AP Government and AP English to become well prepared for my college career, all while maintaining a 4.4 grade point average this year. Not only do I engage in AP classes, but up until this year I had no study halls. I wanted my day to be packed full of interesting classes that I would enjoy learning about. My grades and choice of classes prove the effort that I put forth in my learning. Working hard now can only pay off in the future. Learning now creates a well-rounded human being. Working to learn is why I am so dedicated to my studies now.
Finally, I learned how to be more responsible by myself. In my last classes, my teachers were technically always there to tell me step by step what to do and how to do my assignments. In a certain way, it made me kind of lazy and entirely dependent of my teachers. However in this course it was not like that; instead, my instructor just gave me the assignments, instructions, and deadlines, and I must write my essays and summited it on time. This absence of guide absolutely made me to react that it was time to me to do my assignments by myself, demonstrate what I know, and ask for help just whenever it is
As a senior, my past is full of things that I wish I had done differently. My past years in high school weren’t always the best, but they make me who I am today. Problems that I dealt with were that I had trouble keeping my grades and GPA up because, I was more focused on socializing and being a class clown than I was on my school work. Because I wanted to be a class clown it also caused a lot of behavioral issues. I ended up being kicked out of my ninth-grade math class because of it, damaging my GPA even more. Having behavioral issues is never a good thing it caused me to be suspended out of school, which are reflected poorly on my attendance. So, when I was in school, I was so far behind that it made it nearly impossible to catch up. I feel as if these were some of the worst decisions I could have made, because it’s made it so much harder for me going into my senior year.
AVID is a fun and educational elective that prepares me to go to college. AVID has also been helping me reach goals that I would had never expected to achieve.This elective has been really helpful for me but at the same time I am having some trouble in keeping up with work for class.I get a lower grade in AVID than in any other classes, so AVID is bringing my GPA down due to all the work. If I stay in AVID, then I don’t get the choice of any other electives besides Band, Chorus, and Orchestra. If I also had the choice to pick any elective with AVID like Spanish for example then I would remain in AVID.
On the 1st of November 2013, I performed my first simulation on the module, Foundation Skills for Nursing. This simulation was on checking for vital signs in patients particularly, measuring the blood pressure (BP) which is the force of blood vessels against the walls of the vessels (Marieb and Hoehn, 2010). We also measured the temperature, pulse and respiratory (TPR) rates of a patient. This simulation’s objective was to engage us in practising some basic observation techniques taken on patients in and out of hospitals and to familiarise us on some of the tasks we will be performing when in practise. I will be applying the “What”, “So what”, and “Now what” model of reflection in nursing by Driscoll (2000).
Initial Reflective Essay When I first thought of what I wanted to do with my life after college, the first thing I thought of was helping people. The next step in deciding what I wanted to do with my life was to examine how I could accomplish this goal. I started pondering and I was thinking about how much I love to take care of my body. Health care and personal hygiene has always been an important factor in my life. So I decided to major in Health Sciences.
The process of preparing for college is an arduous process. College is an instrument used to have a successful life. However, getting into college is difficult. The competition for college admittance is extremely high. Most students do not take the necessary actions to ensure their admittance. Consequently, many students do not get attend their ideal college. Therefore, I have taken steps to make certain that I attend the college of my choice, By taking care of my class ranking, actively participating in school functions, and researching my intended degree, I have set myself up to attend the college of my choice.
As a first year student, college is an excellent opportunity to discover one’s own sense of identity and interact with a diverse range of people. Unfortunately, everyone will experience moments of confusion, loneliness, or even disengagement during their college years, which may cause a lack of interest for campus involvement. Through many studies, there are several theories that determine the parallelism between a student’s growth and their involvement interest, which also provides helpful methods for first year students to overcome challenges during this time. As Luckyday mentors this gives us insight to how to carefully approach different situations from mentees while forming a lasting impact on their transition from high school to college.
...d myself having in high school. I still tend to be a little too wordy at times, I misplace commas, and I still forget how to properly cite my research sources every now and them. I think I have become a little more meticulous about looking over my papers, however. I make fewer careless mistakes and take more time writing my papers than I did in high school. My points of view are clearer, and I have not been using commas incorrectly quite as often. I hope to continue to improve in the next few years of college as well. I haven?t received an ?A? on a paper yet, so my goal for the next few years of college is to eventually be able to consistently produce papers worthy of ?As.? I would also like to apply my writing more in school by possibly writing for New Morning in the future. I think Introduction to Literature has had a positive impact overall upon my literary skills.
Keeps you organised: Order is needed to effectively manage time. Knowing what and how to prioritise certain things makes a difference otherwise things can easily spiral out of control and the essence of time management is lost.
Time management is needed in everyday situations. Time management is very important to accomplish all tasks in your life, whether goal oriented for one’s self or for business purposes. You can avoid stress and burden when you set your priorities in a well-structured manner. When thinking of time management, people usually just think of personal time management. Loosely defined as managing our time to waste less time on doing the things we have to do so we have more time to do the things that we want to do. Time management includes your personal life and business life.
My professional development topic was time management. Ironically, I missed the first professional development assignment. Due to poor time management skills, I did not get the assignment turned in before midnight when it was due. The last 2 semesters at Ivy Tech, spring and summer 2016, I have had poor time management skills. Procrastination is a thing I have always struggled with, and something I want to work on.
Do not, and I repeat, do not plan to do ALL of your studying for one day and lock yourself in a room swearing up and down that you will complete it. You won’t. That is what I like to call pseudo-studying or fake-studying. There are distractions everywhere when you pseudo-study. There’s your phone with the latest update of Instagram and Twitter posts. Let’s not forget the food. If you plan to be there all day, you’ll most likely bring food and that food will be the most enticing thing in the room. Your electronics and food will be the bane to your studying. In short, you won’t get anything done. In order to study well, plan to study each subject for short amounts of time, away from each other, so you won’t get bored. This way, information will be absorbed better and you won’t get bored sitting down for six hours telling yourself that you’re studying but really pseudo-studying.
