I was born in the city of Lexington, where I grew up before coming to Campbell University. I am a third-degree black belt in Isshinryu karate where I am an instructor at my dojo. I mainly teach children there. I plan to continue my martial arts training for the rest of my life and one day open my own dojo. I play three different instruments which are drums, guitar, and tenor saxophone. I am majoring in biology with pre-med here at Campbell. I have been fascinated with the sciences since I was a little kid. I am pursuing my interest in science by studying biology here at Campbell. I chose biology as my major because I want to obtain a career in research. It is more important to me that I pursue my passion with my career rather than choosing …show more content…
A week before I came to Campbell, I was promoted to third degree black belt in Isshinryu karate. Third degree black belt is the rank of Sensei. At this rank you can open your own school and promote students. I hope to one day be able to open my own school once I become financially stable. Karate is important to me because it not only teaches people how to defend themselves, but it also teaches them important life lessons such as self-discipline, humility, and respect. When students sign up for karate they are taught these virtues throughout their martial arts training. My objective as a karate instructor is to give students the necessary skills to be successful in their martial arts training as well as to be successful in their lives. It is my mission that every technique I teach is as effective as possible. It is my responsibility to ensure that the techniques I teach to students are practical and can be used to defend them in dangerous situations. As a martial arts instructor, I must practice and refine my techniques before teaching them to other students. Students then follow this example and it encourages them to practice. It is my responsibility as a karate instructor to set an example for good with ethic and Christian
"If we recognize our talents, use them appropriately, and choose a field that uses those talents, we will rise to the top of our field," Dr. Ben Carson. If accepted into Cornell University, I would pursue a major in Biological Sciences. Aside from the impact of this major on our societal and collective evolution, I am inspired by the utility of the discipline. It is through the knowledge and application of biological sciences that we can achieve what was previously only dreamed of. Fascinated with biological science; fixated with medical mysteries, revolutionary medical discoveries, and the urge to make sense of the unknown is why I am pursuing this field of study. The application of biological sciences can be used to meet an objective or solve a problem; this and my innate sense of empathy towards the many adversities and wonders of life, amplifies my yearning to help others through the use of medicine.
In high school, I enjoyed my chemistry, physical and earth science, and computational physics courses, but what I really loved was biology. Learning about cellular respiration and photosynthesis; how cells divide and replicate; and how DNA is passed from parent to offspring, imbuing traits and determining much of the life of the offspring fascinated me. When it came time to apply to WMU, I decided I wanted to be a doctor (what I thought to be the perfect combination of bettering society and biology), so I choose biomedical sciences as my major. When I got to Western, I enjoyed the subject matter of my coursework, but being an 18-year-old struggling with
To a person not conversant with this art, Jujitsu may be considered as a foul or derogatory term in Japanese. However, Jujitsu us one of the most effective and deadly forms of martial arts taught today. Unique among other forms of combat, Jujitsu holds the position of a “parent art”, of from which other forms of martial arts such as Aikido, Judo and several Karate styles were extracted. Jujitsu is a combination of all levels of combat. It incorporates chokes, striking, grappling, nerve and pressure point attacks, joint locks, redirection of momentum and throws.
karate dojo in 1946, headed what became the most sizably voluminous international karate federation in history, and trained many of America's top karate competitors. He was by turns fatherly, arrogant, outgoing and secretive, and had associated himself at one time or another with virtually every consequential karate master in Japan. Corroborating sources for much of his personal history are fragmentary (as with much of the history of karate in general) and his daughter, Dr. Roberta Trias-Kelley, a superb martial artist to whom he bequeathed leadership of the system upon his death in 1989, perpetuates to edify Shuri-ryu karate and sell her father’s publications from her headquarters dojo, Trias Karate, in Phoenix, Arizona.
In the degree that I am seeking I know there will be a lot of science to take. Science has always come natural to me, possibly because you can actually see the product and touch it. I plan to become a veterinarian not just for the love of animals but for the science and knowledge also. The dissecting of animals has always been interesting to me. It is a whole new world that I can wait to explore even more. It is amazing how God made living creatures. I just want to help keep them form getting sick and doctoring them when they do.
The instructors had noticed that I was really committed in taekwondo and invited me into the Black belt club as an orange belt. Knowing that I had started to like taekwondo I accepted the invitation. Black belt club was harder than being in the basic program, they went at a faster pace, and did more challenging drills and kicks. The Black belt club offered more kinds of classes like Tricks and Kicks, wrestling and weapons classes.
I will teach to the objectives and I will teach to the standards. I will make sure that my lessons are hitting on as many standards as possible.
Principles are a set of rules or guidelines to live by. Each person has a unique set of principles, and a person’s character is defined by his or her principles and how closely those principles are kept. For instance, it is possible for a person to have good principles yet not follow them. Principles are more or less goals for people to reach towards to become better humans, and for Taekwondo students to become better martial artists and black belts.
Since high school, science has always been a subject of interest to me. Everything in the universe occurs for a reason and I believe science explains all these reasons. Besides this, science is all about the facts and this is why science has never fails to fascinate me. And nursing is more about science, which is why I have developed profound interest in this subject. I love the human biology, human physiology to be precise. I have always been intensely inquisitive in learning about the organs of the human body and have always wondered how they
On Wednesday, September 27th, I attending the Majors Fair that was held in the Plaster Student Union Ballroom. Before attending the majors fair, I looked at a list of majors that Missouri State University offers. I decided I wanted to look the majors Cell and Molecular Biology, Animal Science and Biology (BS). After speaking with people from the Cell and Molecular Biology and Biology majors, I decided that Cell and Molecular Biology would be the best major for me to choose. I have known since I applied at MSU that I wanted to continue my studies after receiving my bachelors and move on to Dental School.
What I do know though is that I am loving every moment of being an assistant instructor now, that I now can truly teach and give back to junior students what I have learned, how I am now able to pass on century-old traditions to others and that I can help those who might be a bit like me in many to move ahead and just do it! What I also know that it just takes someone to believe in someone else, some encouragement and a friendly word here and there that can really make the difference if someone will move on or not!
Education is a very important aspect of our lives. It is our education that makes us who we are and determines what we become. Therefore, education is not something to be taken lightly. As a teacher, my goal will be to provide the best possible education for my students. Every student is unique. I must see students for who they are individually and respect their ideas and opinions. Each student has a different learning style. I must take this into consideration because I want to provide a constructive learning opportunity for every student. I believe that every student has the potential to learn.
I have always been intrigued by the field of science and that is the reason I pursued the field of Biochemistry for my undergraduate studies. How The Human body works and the different determinants that can affect one's health or a community as a whole have always been captivating to me. I wanted to emerge in a profession that is beneficial for me, my community, and the world I live in. I came to realize through various science courses and health care experiences that a career in health care was the best path for me to outreach my community and the world.
My personal philosophy on teaching is to inspire my students to think and to be objective thinkers. Like life, classrooms are filled with incidents on a daily basis. It 's interesting, as an active participant, to actually experience these moments shared between teachers and students as relationships are built mostly based on personality. As professionals, it 's expected that emotions take the back seat in decision making, but humans think with their heart a lot. A teacher in my estimation is one of the most human
It was drilled into me that karate was for self-defense only. In fact, if a karate instructor heard that I used karate for anything else they would kick me out of class. I learned a lot of self-defense techniques that could save my life. Some of the thing I learned were how to get out of different kinds of choke holds, knife disarms, stick disarms and much more. I am lucky enough that I have never had to use any of these techniques; no one had better mess with me.
