Phi 208 Week 2 Individual Assignment

My evaluation of two months employment at TPS/Eugene Elementary was not based on my professional criterion. Instead, it was judged by parents of a group of students who did not want to do their class work and follow class rules. They went to the office making up a bunch of stories about me. I was not informed until my evaluation. I did not know what was going on.

Muscular Fitness Assessment Headline Summary- As stated in the aerobic assessment, the client’s goals are to increase his aerobic capacity, to do well in the CrossFit open, be better prepared for his job in law enforcement, and live an overall healthier lifestyle. Just as aerobic fitness is essential to these goals muscular fitness is as well. I assessed my client’s upper body strength, lower body strength, lower body endurance, upper body endurance and core endurance. To assess a baseline of muscular strength and endurance for reference when prescribing an exercise program, my client was asked to determine and test to a 1 repetition max on standing overhead press and back squat for muscular strength.

1.0 Fatigue Hypothesis Fatigue can be defined as extremely tiredness resulting from mental or physical exertion or illness. Based on my first journal by van Dieen, Luger and van der Eb (2011), the purpose of the research is to test the hypothesis that fatigue due to exercise will affect the trunk stability in elite female gymnasts. The method that they used is three trials of a balancing task while sitting on a seat fixed over a hemisphere. Before the research started, all of the gymnasts were instructed to handstand on an uneven bar to make their trunk muscle fatigue. On this study, they used force plate to trace the center of pressure (CoP).

Week two has been a little more challenging versus week one. I was tempted with sweet tea several times which has made it more difficult. I truly expected it to be easier because I thought after the first week my body would start to adapt without the caffeine from sweet tea. This is not how I expected the assignment to go. I honestly thought I would not have any issues or have any withdrawal symptoms.

Describe your plan for how you will handle stressful classroom or academic situations. Whenever I have come across a stressful classroom or academic situations I do what I can. I look over everything and see what I know I have the ability to do and do it. When I do what I know first, it gives me more time to do the rest because then I will not be stuck on one single task.

I sit in class zoned out thinking to myself how I would do in powerlifting. That isn’t a sport you would normally think of when it comes to female activities. Every other sport seems to come easy, why not give this a shot? Going out of my comfort zone and trying something I’ve never done before. My experience with powerlifting has been an intense and test to physical strength.

The day that I was impatiently waiting for was finally here. It was a cold and breezy Tuesday afternoon. I was going to start my first day as a homework tutor for the El Jardin homework center. When I arrived at the building I took a long, deep breath and was ready to begin. I felt confident and was ready to transmit my energy to the student that I was going to work with.

Introduction I remember one time when I useless to society. It happened back in grade 8 when my school had a music teacher who was just mean to one of his students. It was the second day of school, and my classmate was taking a quick nap during the transitions between classes. Our music was just entering to our classroom with his equipment and as soon as he entered the room, he saw this tall, skinny, dark-skinned fellow napping on a desk, and started yelling at him for sleeping in his class and finished by threatening to send him to the office. When he was done embracing himself, the kid had the "What just happened?"

West Pharmaceutical Services peaks my interest as they do work in the form research and development of medicine delivery systems. They have had years to refine the company from its start in 1923 as it has transitioned from research lab packing penicillin to groundbreaking biomedical product production and testing. I am interested in this company as the various research done at their facilities can supplement my knowledge on the working of various devices within the biomedical industry. Moreover, the company is large enough to allow for personal growth within the company to a high extent as I may grow as a biomedical engineer. I would like to contribute to West’s reliability in creating high-quality and technologically advanced containment and delivery solutions.

It’s the beginning of the Kindergarten year. A boy always made fun of how I always had my hair pulled up. It was an everyday occurrence. So I took matters into my own hands, without getting help first. Getting help is what I do when something comes up.
