    English 102 through the Alabama Early College Program has taught me the importance of writing skills. When I first began online classes for English, I quickly started learning techniques that I needed to keep up throughout the semester. Each assignment and essay is due at midnight, therefore starting or finishing an assignment early allows the writer enough time to turn in the assignment. Throughout the five modules, I have learned how to write an argument and rhetorical analysis, conduct research and write an exploratory essay. In each module, I learned writing techniques and skills that I never knew before.

Many of our clients come from various backgrounds and cultures than we (both interns and staff) are accustomed to which you must be aware of when interacting with them. One thing I learned regarding our client population is that we do not have a defined client population other than every family with an open DFCS case has at least one child. Even then, that does not hold true for all clients coming to DFCS to get food stamps or Medicaid. Some insight that I gained while working with our clients is that people can become involved with DFCS in a variety of ways.

  • Reflective Essay: Personal Experiences To Work In A Team

    950 Words  | 4 Pages

    Team Work - I 've felt like I work very well in teams, although I do also work well alone, it feels great working alongside people who can help you get a job done efficiently and easily, especially if you grow to like those people which in my past experiences has always been the case; so I 'm very used to working with teams. Maturity - I believe maturity extends far beyond what a lot of people would interpret it as. It accounts for more than just not laughing at immature jokes and being able to be professional when faced with a task. Sensitivity and empathy I think are two important traits which come along with the idea of maturity. Sensitivity, of course, accounts for how one talks to others, I 'm sure we 're all very tired of seeing staff members on other servers that are there just for the purpose of saying they got a moderator position on that server so when it comes to moderating, they 're very lethargic with their work and can be emotionless when monotonously speaking with you.
