...Cultural Identity Essay All of my cultures are being a student, being African American, being an aries, being a friend to others, being a daughter and a sister. All of my cultures are great but, the culture I’ve decided to write about is being an African American. Being African American is simply about how close our families are. My family is super close. The reason why I say this is because every year we have parties. For example, every July we have a party for all of my family members that have a birthday in July. My aunty buys all of the birthday people a bouquet or a gift card for food or something like that. That’s what the July parties are for. We also have Christmas parties every year at the same house.

...As an average student, I am sure that I am not the only one who thinks that I should receive this scholarship. There may be other students that can spell out a huge list of the reasons why they deserve the Horace and Letitia Newton Scholarship. But, even with those students applying, I am still hopeful that I can work hard to become the recipient of this scholarship. I hope to receive this scholarship because I am strongly committed to becoming a nurse, and I desire to help my parents as much as possible. After years of being a committed musician, I have learned what “committed” truly means. Sometimes it means being willing to go to a million Toledo Symphony Youth Orchestra rehearsals every Monday and another hundred thousand during the “rare”...

...Personal Goals Tracy Saunier HCS/301 September 16, 2014 Nancy Shultes Personal Goals Setting goals and achieving them are essential components for personal growth and development. When we set goals for ourselves we never set out thinking failure is an option. There are always barriers to overcome, but overcoming the milestones keep us motivated to achieve what we originally set out to do. My personal goals for the future consist of relocating, followed by a professional promotion into management, and completing my degree in order to have a successful life ahead of me. A personal short term goal of mine is to sell my home. I am preparing my home for resale and hope to place it on the market with a realtor in the next few months. There have been many barriers to overcome to overcome in this preparation. To date, I have replaced the kitchen, bathrooms, air conditioner, carpet, tile, and painted inside and out. There are still a few cosmetic things I need to do such as fixing up the yard and staining the driveway. Once those things are completed I will contact the realtor to obtain an appraisal to see how much I can list my property for. My long term personal goal is downsizing from my current five bedroom home and purchasing a town home. Three of my four children are grown and have moved into their own homes which just leaves myself and my youngest daughter. Living in this large house is no longer necessary nor financially beneficial. With the help of a realtor along...

...Study Skills Essay I have chosen to study about Diabetes as I think it is important that everyone is aware of this disease. In the past year the amount of people diagnosed with Diabetes has risen to 2.8 million people, an increase of more than 150,000 people in a year. This means that one in twenty of the UK population now has Diabetes. (Diabetes UK, 2010). From my experience, working as a health care assistant on a ward in a local hospital trust, I have first hand knowledge that you could be caring for a number of patients with Diabetes at one time. In this essay I shall be exploring different methods of study skills for my chosen topic. For each study skill that I have chosen, I shall explain why that method was selected, what I found useful and what did not help in increasing my knowledge of this subject. I shall demonstrate how I used a learning styles questionnaire to determine what type of learner I am. I will do this by describing the questionnaire and I shall explain how I used the information to increase my learning. How I managed my time to study effectively around university and placement will also be discussed. To prepare myself for writing this essay, I decided to discover what my learning style was in a study skills guide recommended by the university. There were four different learning styles and to help you decide which one you were there was a list of the characteristics, learning strengths and the areas that the individual needed to develop...

...Your name Professor’s name Class Information 06 May 2013 Final Argumentative Essay Zombie Children: The Over-diagnosis of ADHD in children Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a behavioral syndrome predominantly occurring in children (CDC 1). It is one of the most common childhood disorders. This condition is characterized by lack of attention, fidgeting, lack of organization, or squirming when seated. Children with ADHD often have difficulty paying attention to details and are easily distracted by other events happening at the same time; they find it difficult to complete their schoolwork; they put off anything that requires a lot of thought; they are prone to making careless mistakes, and are disorganized; they may seem as if they are listening when spoken to and often fail to follow through with tasks. The symptoms usually become evident in preschool or when entering into elementary school but can continue into adolescence and adulthood. There is no fixed test that can give an accurate diagnosis that a child has ADHD; therefore, over diagnosis has become difficult to avoid. Approximately, 9.5% (5.4 million) children, between four and seventeen years of age, are diagnosed with ADHD (CDC). This translates to three percent to seven percent of school aged children being diagnosed with ADHD. The rate that ADHD has been diagnosed has increased an average of three percent per year between the years 1997 and 2006 and an average of five and a half percent...

...Nurses are encouraged to evaluate and improve their practice by reflection. In order to help guide my reflection process I am using Gibbs (1988) as the model. This is a six step model which will allow me to reflect on the critical incident and look at ways in which I can strengthen and improve my own practice and that of my colleagues for the future. Within the analysis of the incident the patient will be known as Mr. B. This is in order that his real name is protected and confidentiality maintained, in line with the NMC (2004) which states: “You must guard against breaches of confidentiality by protecting information from improper disclosure at all times”. The purpose of this essay is to critically examine an incident from recent practice whilst using a model of reflection. This will enable me to analyse and make sense of the incident and draw conclusions concerning personal learning outcomes. The term ‘critical’ introduces a further dimension to analysis, in that judgements are made about the strengths and weaknesses of the different parts, as well as of the whole, Burns (2000). Reflection follows on from this by encouraging the analysis of clinical practice, this in turn, helps the healthcare professional to develop his/her knowledge and to acquire a deeper level of understanding about the complexities of nursing practice. Boud et al (1985) suggests that this type of learning contributes to the development of clinical competence. The critical incident is...

...family life and not something he chose at a later period in his maturity. Education Sometime, as early as age seven but perhaps later, Milton became a student at St. Paul's school, which was attached to the great cathedral of the same name. St. Paul's was a prestigious English public school — what would be called a "private school" in the U.S. Milton spent eight years as a "Pigeon at Paules," as the students were known, and came out a rather advanced scholar. He had studied the Trivium of Grammar, Rhetoric, and Logic and had probably been exposed to the Quadrivium of Mathematics, Geometry, Astronomy, and Music. He had also learned Latin well, was competent in Greek and Hebrew, had a smattering of French, and knew Italian well enough to write sonnets in it. The one language he did not study was English. Some of his language acquisition — Italian — came from private tutors hired by his father. Also at St. Paul's, the young Milton made a friendship that was among the closest of his life with Charles...

...section Vi essay forms Many people use the term “essay” to mean any paper written for a class. In actuality, there are many different types of essays, each of which has a unique purpose, form, and style. We call these different types of essays “modes of discourse,” and they include expository, persuasive, and comparecontrast essays to name just a few. This section of the Guide has a dual purpose. First, various types of essays are described and suggestions are included about how to approach each particular type of writing. Second, the sample essays are good tools for you to see how these different essays look in their final form. These are not templates (no essay can be a carbon copy of another even in form), but they will give you a good idea of what a final piece of writing for each mode of discourse looks like. It would be advantageous to critically analyze the form and content of each sample against the instruction for how to write each type of essay. chapter 21 expository essays Jennifer propp An expository essay explains something using facts rather than opinions. The purpose of this type of essay is to inform an audience about a subject. It is not intended to persuade or present an argument of any kind. Writing this type of essay is a good way to learn about all the different perspectives on a topic. Many students use the expository essay to explore a variety of topics, and do so in a wide range of formats, including “process” and “definition”...

Preface This isn’t really a teacher’s manual, not, at least, in the sense of a catechism of questions and correct answers and interpretations. Because the questions provided after each selection in Rereading America are meant to stimulate dialogue and debate — to generate rather than terminate discourse — they rarely lend themselves to a single appropriate response. So, while we’ll try to clarify what we had in mind when framing a few of the knottier questions, we won’t be offering you a list of “right” answers. Instead, regard this manual as your personal support group. Since the publication of the first edition, we’ve had the chance to learn from the experiences of hundreds of instructors nationwide, and we’d like to use this manual as a forum where we can share some of their concerns, suggestions, experiments, and hints. We’ll begin with a roundtable on issues you’ll probably want to address before you meet your class. In the first section of this manual, we’ll discuss approaches to...
