Leader-Servant Class Analysis

587 Words2 Pages

Throughout the several weeks in our leader-servant lectures, I have learned many things about how to become a better individual and how to make my future brighter. Recently, I was moved by Professor Armstrong’s talk. In Professor Armstrong’s lecture about graduate school, I understood the importance of furthering my education. This presentation influenced my future goals, and has been the one of the most important lesson I have learned being in the leader-servant class. From a young age, I have understood the importance of furthering my education by going to college. As I have grown up, I have since wanted to pursue a PhD in psychology. However, I did not know the process or what I needed to do to get into graduate school. Lately, when I have been thinking about my future, I get scared because I am not sure what I need to do. As I was listening to Professor Armstrong’s lecture, it gave me valuable insight on the process I needed to take and exactly how I needed to do it. …show more content…

He said that some graduate courses they pay you, while in professional fields you pay them. Because I want to go into the psychology field, I would need to find a graduate school where they paid me to further my education. If I do this, then I can gain more knowledge without having to worry about financial issues. Furthermore, I can help aid my future family while I am still in school. Another thing Professor Armstrong mentioned was the types of tests you would need to take in order to get into graduate school. Going into the psychology field, I would need to take the GRE test. After the lecture, I started to look at how the test was formatted. I knew that I would need to study diligently for the test, and work very hard in order to get a high enough score to get accepted. It is a difficult test, but I know that if I study for it, I will do

    It is one thing to have the knowledge of “the practice of mobilizing people to tackle tough challenges and thrive”. What I am persistent to do with that knowledge is what is important. My biggest take away is that I need to get on the balcony. By being on the balcony I can see that is it really the bold guy with the dance moves who starts the party, not the DJ. Silly to me that I never realized that is where I needed to be, that is where people could find me in a real life party. A year from now I hope that is still where I will be, looking for new data and learning more about myself in new circumstances. There will always be more to learn, although every once in a while I will have to intervene in situations that will make me uncomfortable. To carry on improving on the skills I picked up during the course of this class, it will be crucial for me to reevaluate the goals I set for myself. I plan to reset them all and provide myself with a timeline to achieve the goals. KU offers a minor in leadership studies and this classes is the foundation for all of those leadership classes to come. This class will be impossible to forget as I move forward in complete my minor. I will be using what I have learned in this class still three years from, it is kind of

  • College Is Not for Everyone

    444 Words  | 1 Pages

    Another point that society makes is that college will turn its students into better people. But how does college actually turn someone into a better person? College can place students in situations that call for responsibility and in situations where they may demonstrate qualities of leadership. However college does nothing more then give the students the opportunity to demonstrate the qualities that they already possess. As Bird effectively quotes from respected psychologists Bruner and Piaget, "Specific learning skills have been acquired very early in life, perhaps even before formal schooling begins" (306). Piaget and Bruner believe that the skills of leadership and responsibility have been learned prior college. College simply provides an environment to display the basic skills.

    Stepping up to a higher level of education as described by Bridges, is a very difficult transition to make. Family obligations and work pressure me to remain in an inert state of thinking; I was convinced that too many responsibilities and lack of time would not allow me to accomplish what I must accomplish to advance myself. Today according to Bridges’ Model, I am in the final phase or the “new beginning” (Bais and Hayes, 2011, p.5) because I have mustered the courage to overcome that way of thinking.

    I received Principal’s List awards in elementary school, participated in the International Baccalaureate magnet program in middle school, and graduate in the top ten percent of my high school class. College was personally mandatory for me. If my mom didn’t encourage me to go to college, I had the drive and determination within myself to attend college. Attending a Historically Black College/University (HBCU) was definitely a desire of mine, and I knew I wanted to attend a school in Georgia in order to receive HOPE scholarship. I originally choose Albany State University because it was the only HBCU in Georgia to have an accredited Forensic Science degree program. Soon after I got here, I decided to change my major to Psychology. The reason for this was the realization of not enjoying lab work, and I was also more interested in the science of arts rather than natural sciences. Psychology is a very interesting and intellectual field of study and I enjoy the opportunities to observe and interact with others who have the same interest. Once I receive my B.A. in December, I plan on attending graduate school for the study of marriage and family therapy, and I would like to receive a Ph. D in Clinical Psychology. I have yet to decide on a school, but I am working on making my decision at the moment. My long-term career goal is to become a marriage and family psychologist and own my own practice. I would also like to work
