...One ball, eleven sticks, one cage, and sixty minutes to achieve one common goal⸺score. Field hockey has proven to be much more than an outlet for excess energy and a vehicle for camaraderie; it has taught me irreplaceable lessons regarding leadership and teamwork. First and foremost, as captain of my winter field hockey team, responsible for organizing players, line-ups and substitution schedules, I have gained valuable knowledge on how to be an effective leader, which I apply elsewhere as well. For example, as Secretary of my high school’s chapter of National Honor Society, the organizational skills and leadership I learned through directing the winter league has proven beneficial. This year, National Honor Society is organizing a festival-like...

...My Tutoring Experience Using the Fundamentals Reading Program Shaundra Cartwright EDU: Phonics Based Reading and Decoding Instructor Jennifer Hanson October 22, 2013 In our second week of class we are asked to choose a student to tutor with the Fundamentals Reading Program. We are asked to pick a student from age’s five to seven and only one student. The Fundamentals Reading program is an intensive systematic phonics learn to read program that will improve comprehension, spelling and a child’s penmanship. This program is well-suited for absolutely every age group and it is an effective solution for any reading problem (actionreading.com). Formulated for use with learners from preschool through adult ages, this program is the key to learning to read the English language in a much easier way. Children struggle with comprehension the most and this program helps to build on being able to understand what you are reading. Our students that we will be tutoring should go from knowing little to nothing about reading to being more knowledgeable and finally able to hold their own in the classroom. Since I have been a substitute teacher at my daughter’s school for the past two years, I reached out to my friends there for a student to tutor. I let them know I wanted to tutor a student they had who had trouble with learning to read and write so they could really benefit from being tutored. My student’s name is...

...Final Strategic Plan and Presentation University of Phoenix Integrated Business Topics BUS475 Final Strategic Plan and Presentation For the past year, Grace and Joy have gathered information to start up their group home. Information they have collected include strategic management and planning guidelines, writing the mission and vision statements, compiling a SWOT analysis, implementing a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) to track and measure their performances, and developing measures and objectives in the learning and growth perspective. This information is important to gather and understand when opening up a new business. This paper discusses the information collected for LYLA and the hypothesis of the finalization of LYLA. Importance of Strategic Planning and Management Introduction to LYLA Two friends, Grace and Joy, met at a church function. During this function, they were able to get to know each other and learned they had something in common. Both have been considering opening a foster care type home for young women. They began to meet once a week to discuss how they could start this program. After a few weeks, they named their organization LYLA, which stands for Loving Young Ladies into Adulthood. Group Home The main goal set for the group home, is to help young women, between 14-21 years of age, become self sufficient. After discussing plans with their church and the Department of Human Services, they realized there would be more to consider than they...

...Education Education is so multifaceted that it is difficult for me to know where to begin discussing it, or how to prioritize the many factors. Relaying my own experience is easy: I had a standard classroom approach, supplemented by inordinate reading. In only the briefest and least memorable instances did I receive any individual tutoring. Education is commonly thought of as the job of schools. Adults cry "educate our children!" Everyone has opinions about the best way to do the job. It is of urgent importance, and all the numerous factors are much studied, debated, and new (or old) ideas continually tested or retested. Some people say "it's as simple as . . . " and then name their pet peeve or passion. My view is not of an education specialist, but of one who loves sharing what I learn, and owes much to educators. Since I don't have an educational theory neatly worked-out, nor an outline of my perceptions, my intent is to address each educational ingredient that comes to my mind. After I've said what I think about each topic, readers may have a fair comprehension of my philosophy. First comes sensitivity. If a person be insensitive, be it from numbing cold, exhaustion, drugs, genetic makeup, or upbringing, then the process of education is bogged down, and results come only after great efforts. Sensitivity in my integrated meaning is broad, covering literally the senses, so that deaf and blind people are less sensitive, as well as people whose senses work perfectly...

...The Christian Idea of Work Jes´s A. Izaguirre, Ph.D. u December 6, 2000 1 Introduction In this brief document, I try to explore the question of the meaning of work in the light of the Christian faith, particularly in the modern circumstances of work. Work holds a key to the understanding of the modern world, as is evident in technological and scientific progress. It has often been forgotten, however, that it holds a key to the understanding of the human person, both in itself (what makes a human a person) and in the individual lives of millions of women and men. These reflections are particularly addressed to you, a student at the distinctively Catholic University of Notre Dame. They are intended to present in a simple way, what the Catholic faith has to say about the question of the role of work in the development of persons and societies. Its sources are primarily Scriptures, the documents of the magisterium of the Church, and writings of contemporary spiritual writers. Finally, they present some speculations trying to explore some ethical issues in the current practice and directions of computer science. 2 Modern understanding of work Work occupies a central place in contemporary thought, legislation, and speculative thinking. Often, however, work is understood as either a means to economic development, particularly through the use of technology, or as a means of individual self-fulfillment alone. The former view tends to emphasize the objective aspects of work:...

...Jennifer Nguyen Math 100W Professor Hilliard 24 April 2012 A Life Course A typical college class is to go to class and learn the standards of what the class is teaching. You learn the basic concepts and formulas and forget them in the next semester. But the Humanities Honors program is four consecutive classes that enhance your knowledge and brain. It is not a regular average class that the professor does not know your name and does not even care about your learning. This complex program contains three compassionate professors that are kindhearted with their work and students. The knowledgeable professors contribute their time and dedication to teach their students of to care what is most in human of us. It was the beginning of my first semester in the Humanities Honors Program when the lecture on Socrates inspired me. It caught my attention when I read Socrates’ quote when he indicated that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” I examine my life by thinking about where I’ve been, how I got here, and where I’m going. There are so many questions going through my mind, but I don’t have all the answers. I believe that I have some sense of where I belong to the universe and have the context for understanding how all the elements fit together in my life. There are people that avoid leading an examined life. These people are ignorant and cannot look into the issues around us. I believe that we need to open our eyes and take the time to examine the world and our lives. When...

...choosing schools based on how much they would get paid, and not on the fact if they actually enjoy the school. College athletics are obviously different from professional athletics. “Take away the university/college "label" associated with college football and what do we have? The NFL. Do the same for all of the other college sports, and the professional equivalent to that sport comes up as the answer.” (Jackson Page 1) Paying college athletes would defeat the purpose of being a college athlete. College football and basketball would be less popular, because it would be the same as the NFL and NBA. College athletes play for their school not for payment or anything, but for the love of the game. Paying college athletes would take the love and joy out of college athletics. Why would we want the passion taken out of college...

...Journal Two: Identifying Conflict in Two Texts Read About Journals in ENG125: Introduction to Literature for more information about the purpose and expectations for journals. This week, you continue writing your journal entries. This journal entry is designed to help you document ideas about conflicts in literature, which will contribute to the information required for the Week Three Draft and the Week Five Literary Analysis. Recognizing conflict is essential to understanding the various commentaries literature can provide. In Journal One, you identified conflict as it might appear in our everyday world and from other sources. Now, consider the following definition of conflict and how it relates to literature from the textbook or the story/poetry links provided under the requirements for the Literary Analysis: Conflict is opposing actions, ideas, and decisions that hold a plot together...the struggle that shapes the plot in a story. Chapters 1-7 of our text contain a number of stories and poems, each of which rely on at least one conflict. Choose two of this week’s assigned literary works and write about the conflicts presented in each of them. In 250 to 500 words Individual versus Society --- “Still she had come down the road toward the big white church alone. Just herself, an old forgetful woman, nearly blind with age” (para 3.1,2) --- appears to be the main conflict in Alice Walker’s narrative ironically, yet metaphorically named "The Welcome Table”. The...

...Love and Relationships: Then and Now Love at first sight can seem unattainable. Some people claim to have known that they were supposed to be with someone the second they met them, and some say that one cannot experience love at first sight because one does not really know someone until they spend quality time with the person they believe that they are meant to be with. The concept and accepted, societal definition of a real, serious relationship has changed so much throughout history, and Taming of the Shrew and 10 Things I Hate About You are two examples that show this progression. In the 1600’s, relationships and love were very rare, men just wanted to marry the most beautiful woman; whereas in modern times, relationships are portrayed as much more casual. In Shakespeare’s play, Taming of the Shrew, marriage is a very important concept, but it is very different than it is now. It is the fathers job to give away his daughters to the most wiling suitor, or the man who makes the best deal. If a suitor is interested in pursuing and marrying someone, the suitor will approach the daughter’s father and meet with him. They write a contract, willing things to the suitor and the father’s daughter for when the father dies, such as large proportions of land, or his home. If the daughter has multiple suitors, the father will choose who presented him with the best contract, not necessarily who loves his daughter the most or who his daughter wants to be with. Petruchio and Katharina’s...

...Name: Roneige Alnord Class: Foundation of Music Education (fall 11) Prof: Dr. Williams My teaching Strategy Considering the downfall of the music education today, it is important that educators rethink of a new perspective that could not only motivate music students and educators but give the audience, parents, and principals a good reason to support our vocation. There are a great number of people that graduated from high school, some are still college students that would keep following the path they started years ago in high school when they were playing on a concert band, orchestra or marching band, singing on a choir and become great and successful musicians if at least they had a teacher who could inspire them, someone who could guide them to find the freedom of expressing themselves and play music the way they feel and see it. As a future teacher, I am already concern on how and what I will give my student as tools. So, it is my responsibility to start thinking and planning of a good strategy first to get my students’ attention, motivate them and show them good ways to develop their music skills according to their inspiration. In life, there are different types of people when it comes to desire and what they want to do. Some people just try and if anything works, they just let go. Some people in the other hand, push really far until they can satisfy their desires. This is what we often call Persistence. From my experience on the music field, persistence is what brings...
