For my Diverse Field Experience this semester, I spent fifteen hours at the Mclean County Juvenile Detention Center. This particular center was occupied by about 8-14 juveniles at a time, all depending on court dates and occupancy of other nearby detention centers. This center usually had 3 staff members working the shift every time I went, which was seven to nine on weekday afternoons. I was intrigued to go to at this time because I thought it would be the time of the day were the juveniles had no school work or other obligations to do while I was there. I wanted to see what they liked to do in the free time before bed, the only stipulation being mandatory snack time at eight pm. I have seen plenty of students in a classroom environment during my clinicals here at …show more content…
In high school, I had this role model, and he was my athletic director. The man would do anything for not just me, but the entire athletic department and all the moving parts. For example, at a tennis tournament on the weekend, I was a site by myself competing in that division held at that site. My tennis coach was at another high school with other teammates. He told me I would be the last one picked up for the night, and I already lost, so to hear that was incredibly disappointing. Our athletic director got wind and personally drove and picked me up and dropped me off at the site with the rest of my team. It was incredible to see someone go that far out of their way for some scrawny little sophomore who might have gotten moved up to varsity a little too soon. But, I wasn’t the only one would could tell a story similar to that one. That man instilled the passion inside me to try to be close to the man he

I began college in 2014 at the age of 58 years-old to change my area of employment and do something that is far more interesting to me, working within the social services field. I realize the fact I was brought up by two dysfunctional, abusive parents in a chaotic home lead me to search out that same type of familiar relationship when I left home at the age of seventeen. In short, I married a domestic violence abuser and alcoholic when I was 19 years-old and had 5 children. Ten years into the marriage, when I had finally reached the end of my rope, a local police officer helped me to obtain a Protection from Abuse order and removed my husband from the home. This era was the birth of the Protection from Abuse orders and for me and this new
Lani: I was helping for someone’s project for COMM 245; I was in the video lab, in the studio. I was on campus and decided to contact everyone I knew who comes to the school.

Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar is my role model for many reasons. He was born a minor noble in the Kingdom of Castile in the mid-1000s and rose to be the very influential ruler of Valencia. He is a national hero of Spain and helped greatly in the unification of Spain. He treated Muslims and Catholics equally, while still helping greatly in the Reconquista.

Born and raised as an “ABC” - American Born Chinese - in Las Vegas, I have been steeped in and connected to the culture and community of one of the most diverse and unique cities in the world. Throughout my upbringing in a Chinese household located in what many refer to as “Sin City” and during my time at a boarding school on the East Coast that values the differences within its inclusive community, I have encountered people from a wide range of cultures and backgrounds.

As someone who identifies multitudinously herself, I believe I can effectively bring my own flavor

I struggled on every single book and test.

The practices weren’t easy back then but it was fun being around all of my friends who were in it. Each day we went to practice it got a little bit easier from all of the conditioning they put us through. Then there was the school work that we had to do alongside football, it wasn’t always easy
