I have worked so hard in school waiting for a moment like this. UNCW would be a great challenge for me, but it would also help me out immensely. UNCW has a excellent education program and that is exactly the field of study I aim to go into. I spent approximately half of my sophomore year at the early college tutoring at Dobson Elementary. I cherished every second helping my fifth grade class. I gained the opportunity to assist the teacher with the math part of the class and also enjoy recess with the kids. At first, I was nervous and kind of terrified of the kids, but I warmed up quickly and began to find things in common with them. A good majority of them enjoyed basketball just like me. So when recess arrived they would all crowd around me
ESSAY ONE (minimum 300 words) -Community can be defined as a number of people living in the same area and linked by common values, practices, and goals (Spitzberg & Thorndike, 1992). Describe an experience in which you made a positive difference in a community you are a member of. What did you learn about the concept of “communities” from this experience, and how do you see these lessons playing out when forming a community in Honors Housing?
For one, I became a better listener and I had to become leader along with the other seniors because of the inexperience we had this year. When I was a freshmen, I looked up to the old guys and wanted to be as good as they were. Thus I became sort of a “role model” for the younger kids on the team. Although I did not look at myself as a role model because I never really thought as myself becoming a person/player my teammates would look up to. You think to yourself that, “I could not be that player, person, or teammate someone wanted to be.” But quite frankly, I was that “player” some of my teammates wanted to be. That drove me to become a better player and mature as a
In the summer before my junior year of high school I spent 4 weeks tearing down fences, cutting saplings, staining buildings, learning about my goals and ambitions, and building fences across Montana. When I put in my application for the Montana Conservation Corps I thought it would only be benefit my life by filling up my summer and doing manual labor. However, the first day with my crew proved that assumption wrong, for I learned how to make unlikely friends, how to work hard, and how to be a steward of the land. My experience with the Montana Conservation Corps split my high school experience in half. My first two years I was unmotivated, lazy, and impressionable but through those 4 weeks I learned how to be myself.
I grew up in a public school, but ended being split away from my friends, like my best friend at the time Danny, who was my close teammate on the basketball team in middle school. He ended up going to Niles North and I ended up going to Notre Dame. Danny and I would play basketball and train with each other all the time, so when we split up he said “Now we’re gonna get to play each other and see who’s really better.” Danny and I were really competitive because he was always thought to be better than me by everyone and I wanted to be thought of as better. Not knowing anyone at school, I walked through the narrow halls, staring at all these unfamiliar faces that all seemed to know each other. I felt alone at this point but thought being on the
You should check a person if you think that he or she has suffered cardiac arrest. If you find a person unconscious, or see him or her collapse, then you will need to check to see if he or she is responsive. Shake the person and shout to make sure that he or she is not sleeping. Pinch an infant or young child to try to wake him or her up.
The day had finally arrived. It was the day I started my new swim team, and I could not have been more anxious. I opened the door to the building and looked around. This was surely not what I had pictured for my first practice. I was overwhelmed with the scent of chlorine. People crowded all around the pool deck anxiously waiting to plunge into the icy water. Everyone wore colorful swimsuits, dark goggles, and caps with the familiar “Swim Atlanta” logo. There were new faces all around, and no one said a word to me. I just blended into the bunch. The coach walked up without speaking to any individual, and he yelled instructions to the entire group. “Everyone needs to be in the water in two minutes!” shouted Coach Chris. I pulled my black latex cap over my head along with fifty other swimmers. Within seconds, I felt invisible as the mob of people surrounded me to hop in the pool and begin swimming.
sudden cardiac arrest is when the heart suddenly stops beating. Blodd stops flowing to the brain and other organs. Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) causes death if not treated in minutes. The most common cause is an arythmia which is when rapid pulses causes your ventricles to quiver instead of pumping blood. Usually a life threatning arythima develops in a Person with a pre-existing heart condition such as: coronary artery disease, heart attack, or electrical problems in the heart.
Miss Sadie no longer sits in her rocking chair on her porch on summer days. But I still can see her. The old chair
In the CPR, Mr. Mann worked on the following contracts: Wells Lamont (assembling clips with buckles and rings) and Anthony 's Syrup (taping boxes and labeling and packing containers). The instructor limitations in being absent too much, errors in work, and inability to stay on task because of talking too much. The instructor stated that Mr. Mann left early from Abilityworks on 03/10/2017 walking because he had to care for his significant other 's two-year-old son. He did not discuss this with evaluator to which they discussed earlier the importance of being on time at work and present.
I joined the swim team in the 9th grade and was the slowest swimmer on the entire team. I learned how to swim from summer camp when I was young but Unlike most people on the team I did not have much practice competitively. On my first I joined the swim team in
ARDS is commonly known as acute respiratory distress syndrome. This life-threatening condition was first seen in the 1960s when physicians noticed that twelve people who developed sudden breathing problems and rapid lung failure had similar patches on their lungs. ARDS starts as inflammation, in which then leads to the failure of gas exchanges of the lungs and blood. The blood starts to be deprived of oxygen, which leads to multiple organ failure. The damaged and inflamed small blood vessels will automatically cause people to be admitted to the ICU where there is no specific treatment for ARDS. The goal is to support breathing and allow the patient 's lungs to heal. “Acute” in this case means sudden or new. Severe trauma to the body, such as falling with a collapsing building, can directly injure the lungs and trigger ARDS. This is even worsen by pancreatitis. The mortality rate is extremely high if left untreated.
I ran-walked into the class quickly, my feet making soft padding noises across the deck as I walked over to the rest of the group. As I got closer to the class, I noticed all of the swimmers had joined into a circle. Forty pairs of
When I was eight years old, I joined the Shaker Sharks swim team. I was put in the lowest group and struggled to swim even a 25. I considered swimming a hobby at best, not even realizing it was a sport. Two years later, my family and I moved to Solon. I switched teams to join the Solon Stars Swim Club.
Before I started this Unit I knew very little about snorkelling. I only knew the basics and none of the important information such as how to avoid hypothermia. However, now that I have finished this Unit I know much more than I did beforehand and I have acquired a lot of experience in the future.
