I found the My Story assignment to be a fascinating one. I thought it was really interesting to get a closer look at how my fellow classmates defined themselves and what led them to their definition. The assignment allowed me to uncover another side of the people in the class that I didn’t know too well, but also it allowed me to see another perspective on my friends. The assignment is proof that even though people claim to know one another, they only know the information that they’re given, and that the information is usually only a fragment of the entire story. This idea of seeing an entire person’s story is what made the assignment so enjoyable, and even though I had a hard time coming up with my own narrative, it was still interesting to …show more content…
The most challenging parts for me, were trying to figure out what my story actually was, and how I was going to fit my entire narrative into a five minute presentation. I had never had an assignment like this before and going into it, I was unsure of how exactly I wanted to broach the subject. I found that the easiest way was to tackle the guiding questions, which were vague enough to allow for enough creative freedom in answering them. After I started to piece together the narrative of my life, the assignment became increasingly easier with the only real problem being the time limit. Summarizing the last twenty years of my life and ensuring that I adequately answered the questions on the assignment sheet was a little tricky, but once I figured it out the assignment became a lot easier and more …show more content…
I think it’s important to learn about other people and their narrative, because prior to this assignment I never knew how subjective my knowledge of people had been. This assignment highlights the fact that what we know about a person is typically surface level and that we should try to get past that level if we want to know someone’s entire story. Even though I found it hard to come up with my personal narrative going into this assignment, I later found that this assignment help to remind me that although we all have similarities, we also have differences and it’s those differences that make our story personal and unique. Which I think is valuable information that I’ll try to keep for the rest of my
Introduction The purpose of this report is to summarize what our team, the Fig Neutrons, did for the final project of ECE160. For the project we used an Arduino Sparkfun Kit to build a Simon says game with multiple game modes that would display several different game statistics on an LCD screen. The work the team has done includes Charlieplexing LEDs and including code for implementing the LEDs, writing code for a reverse Simon game. We also had to make the game play a different song than the one provided, and write code for the LCD to display wins, losses, game length, and the number of games played.

Some of the stories are autobiographical, while others are more fictionalized. The book offers a range of perspectives,
1. Researches excluded students that are diagnose with mental problems because the researches don 't want to make them uncomfortable on what students without mental health problems feel. I also believe that students with mental health problems were excluded because they will not give an accurate answer. 2. I believe that people think about that people with mental health problems are crazy, can 't think right, mean, weird, and dumb.
2.4 Issues of concern including, children 's needs, harms, risk and protective factors Issues of concern, children’s needs, harms, risks and protective factors in this case study are illustrated in this section through the use of social work knowledge, theories and values. The children’s needs can be assessed through the use of The Barker and Hodes Common Assessment Framework (CAF). This tool provides a nationally standardised approach to assessing children and young person’s in need and deciding how the needs should be met. The CAF focuses on three areas including developmental needs, parenting capacity and family and environmental factors (Barker & Hodes, 2007). It also takes into account the parent’s ability and willingness to take responsibility and work with professionals to achieve change.
The toughest essay assignment I did was the Unit Four Rhetorical Analysis essay, which was more than just analyzing. There were a lot of things that needed to be covered in order to complete the needed criteria for the essay. Even though I thought I did a good job writing the Rhetorical Analysis essay, it turned out to be the opposite. The one thing that I liked about this process was that it was different than what I am used to, and it opened my mind to writing differently. In writing these essays, a person has to be precise and careful about what they decide to write about.
The first day of college was different for me since it started during the summer. My writing skills in the beginning of the class weren 't as strong as they are now. I knew college would be a much more difficult than high school because there would be a larger work load. The diagnostic essay was the first essay I wrote in college. I was really worried about the results I would get on a college level.
Social location is important in knowledge production. One’s perspective is influenced by the location of his or her identity. Maps are useful for one to find one’s way and for navigation, but also to show others how to get somewhere. When one maps one’s experiences, an extra dimension is added to an ‘objectively’ created map. It becomes three dimensional, rather than flat.
The chapter “‘You’ll Never Believe What Happened’ Is Always a Good Place to Start” from the Native Narrative “The Truth About Stories” by Thomas King explores the twisting path of how stories shape who we are, how we understand things, and how we interact with the world around us. Thomas King strengthens his argument by giving a detailed example that better, proves what he is trying to say. He tells a story about the moment he discovered what happened to his father, which I believe answered a lot of questions in his life. The author's father left when he was a little boy. The father remarried two more times, had seven more children who never knew that the authors nor his brother existed until the day of all their father's funeral.
The entire assignment was basically creating a presentation on a genre we found on our own to show our understanding of the concept. At the beginning of this class I thought that all of the writing assignments were going to be extremely hard, but after this assignment I realized that these assignments really aren’t going to be too difficult. I think this is due to the Writing as a Process SLO and that fact that it really helps break things into easy understandable parts that flow into one another. I’m glad this was the first assignment because it helped me get a good foothold of what this class is going to be without being too

Throughout the night, Mary dreamt of Bill . Her mind raced through memories from the first time their eyes met, how those sweet blue eyes sparkled when he laughed, and how they were in love and drifted apart. She also remembered 4 years ago, when she had seen him while away on business in Orlando, Florida. She thought it had been destiny at the time, seeing each other thousands of miles away from their original homes and being in the same hotel.
That is, how did you go about addressing the assignment and what did you learn from it? I really liked the idea of this assignment as a “work on your own” type. There was no written assignment or discussion board associated with it, so I had no pressure and could really just enjoy the readings and videos for my own benefit. The provided information made me think about myself and other leaders that I had experience working with.
Personal Narrative Essay Believe it or not, sometimes a gracious action can bring a huge influence on a person. When I read the introduction that instructor Heller wrote, there is a sentence she wrote: “Sometimes the most influential moments in our lives are smaller moments, events that we may not recognize as influential until years after the experience.” For some reason, I related to it strongly. My story is about my high school experience. Also, I will share some significant moments in my life, and how these smaller moments changed my personality.
