Personal Narrative: My Experience As A Role Model

“Although people may differ in every which way- in their initial talents and aptitudes, interests, or temperaments- everyone can change and grow through application and experience.”

As the Army Junior ROTC program celebrates its 100 year of being established, cadets and instructors start to realize its purpose and its significant changes. I take a glance into the past and gathered information on historical events contributing to the program. Also acknowledging the program’s difference from today and 100 years ago. These aspects will likely determine the future of the Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps.

Why are there no lines? Why are there no goals? Why were the benches not moved? Just some of the things that went wrong on 9/12/15. That is the day my soccer team won 8-0 at our first home soccer game. The tensions were high and we were stressed no lines or goals. We had to move the benches all while trying to get prepared for the game. Coach Troy was running late as usual coach Nick was late for the first time and we were trying to warm up without him and get a handle on what to do about the field.

Accomplishments take me one step closer to happiness and tranquility. For example, maintaining an “A” in a rigorous course, helping others that are struggling, cook for my family, etc. are minor achievements and events that have formed me into a better being. Sometimes, ignorance gets the best of me, and it does conquer my sweet, timid personality that I possess. Accordingly, my accolades never suggest nor imply I am better than anyone else. I never consider highly of myself because we are equally intelligent in our own separate ways. It is a way to build up my confidence level as I am an introvert myself.

My personal memoir from this semester was written about a particular game of chess with a friend. I started by spending lots of time listing different ideas, and understanding how well those ideas would fit into a personal memoir format. This paper taught me how to use words to paint a picture in the reader’s mind. It was difficult to find one main point and keep that point relevant throughout the entire paper. Instead, I found it easier to divide the main point up into smaller ideas and explain each of those individually and then connect them all at the end of the paper. I explored what it meant to guide the reader through certain ideas, rather than just blatantly stating facts. This lead to some weaknesses to the paper, such as, the

The person who I am working with is a 29 year-old Caucasian female. She is single with no children. She graduated from college with a Bachelor 's in psychology. Currently she is attending graduate school full time, and works part time for the local city in the sporting events. She is the eldest child in her family, and has one brother and sister.

From the moment I was two years old my life changed, and I had that one expectation, the one how my mother would call it gift given from God, but in my eyes it is a misfortune. It all began with my aunt, Dolores moving to Switzerland, she got the one amazing opportunity to babysit a rich woman 's children in Switzerland. During that time she was still living in the Dominican Republic and it is a mystery to me how she got that job. Anyways it defined my life, would she not have had that opportunity I would have never existed. The gift from god would never have been my responsibility, which my mother loves to control, if she could, but she knows she is not the only obsequious one in the family.

My Applied Learning Experience engaged me in real world classroom situations that required me to put into action the knowledge and skills developed through academic coursework. In addition, these experiences helped me connect academic learning to the real world, facilitating the ability to obtain and enhance the knowledge and skills required to be a teacher. Furthermore, this practice experience gave me opportunity to incorporate and apply teaching strategies taught in the university classroom to a real world classroom setting. Last of all, my ALE provided insight into the complexities of teaching children of low economic

As far as I can remember, I have always been intrigued by technology, math, and building things. I always watch a show called, “How It’s Made” on my free time, the show is about how various things are made. Whenever my father has to put something together, like a desk, I appear right next to him ready to help. My father noticed my creativity and downloaded an app where I can build a Treehouse or a playground. I always wanted to be a part of everything, and I loved to try things on my own. “I’ll do it,” I always say when I am having trouble with something. I am a problem solver, I always feel that everything has a solution, you just have to look close enough. I am extremely curious, I always have questions, and I always thirst to find out new

The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience? (250-650)

Over the past few weeks I found my self developing some of the qualities needed in order to be a successful reflective learner, in my job, at home and working along with my colleagues in my studies.

The word mentor refers to a father figure who sponsors, guides and develops a younger person. Mentoring have played a significant role in teaching, inducting and developing the skills and talents of others (Ehrich et al, 2004). Research has also shown that mentoring yields benefits for mentees and mentors through career advancements and psychological support (Kram, 1985). Mentoring is often understood as a two way or reciprocal process that provides the benefits for the mentor (Levinson et al, 1978). Levinson et al (1978) shows that mentoring can rejuvenate a mentor’s career by allowing the mentor to assist and shape the professional and personal development of a mentee. Douglas (1997) also comments on the benefits of mentoring on how
