Self-Awareness Journal

It only heightened my views and put my beliefs into simple words. The lessons and rules-to-live-by in this novel of anecdotes range from quotes about ourselves to quotes on how we should act with others. This book really makes you question yourself and if you are living your life to your fullest potential. My childhood dream was to go to college to become someone important, so far I seem to be achieving it. This entire novel can be applied to anyone’s life.

Plater Personal Statement When I was a Community Service Scholar, I took a class called the Psychology of Giving (PHST-P330) that was attached to the position. The whole class was centered on how we can combine our personalities, educational achievements, and civic service experiences to become a civic minded graduate and then after graduation become a civic minded professional when we have acquired the job we aspire to. Prior to the class, I had not realized that there was such a concept. But as Jennifer Halford introduced and explain the theory of the civil-minded graduate, I could no longer see myself not being one.

The audience of Becoming a Learner is future or current college students. This is a wide range of people, but this story can be beneficial to all who will be in search of a job after college. By telling his audience how to become a learner before they graduate with a degree they will be able to apply his ideas and get the most out of their education. This medium is very important because it gives the audience purpose for reading the piece. If the audience was not college students or another type of learner, it would be too late for them to change the way they strive for their degree.

When I first saw that ACA-122 was a required course to complete your Associate in Arts degree, I thought it was an unnecessary course to have to take. What else could I possibly learn about College Transfer Success at the end of my degree? To my surprise, as I come to the end of ACA-122 class, I find myself to be a more prepared student and future employee. I wish I had taken this course during my first semester at Guilford Technical Community College.

Now, to end everything off with a good impression. I hope you will consider me to be part of National Junior Honor Society with everything I have stated in my paper. This year for me was an experiment with the clubs. I had only joined a couple because I wanted to make sure I was not too overwhelmed, but I was not so I will be considering to join one or two more to make my life a little crazier. I do intend to do more for my community in the near future and gain even more work experience.

Blue is essentially a story of searching for identity and creating your own family. Written by Patricia Leavy the story follows three college roommates, as they each piece together who they are in their life after college. Following each characters involvement in relationships and inner dialogue, the book addresses the challenge young adults face coming out of college with finding their identity. Through her story life, Leavy has weaved together sociological themes that relate to identity seeking. Leavy’s book is a story that demonstrates how individuals form identity because it highlights themes of sociological theories, dramaturgy, and socialization.

At first, it was a little bit uncomfortable, but I knew if I wanted to get to know the other students I would have to put myself out there. Middle College is very diverse and that made getting to know everyone interesting. In Middle College, you're not just with high school students, though. You're not only mixed with all the college kids on campus, but in

One of the types of bias I observed was the fact the Mother and father made the daughter have her first date at the house instead of going out, and her brother getting to go out with his friends having no responsibility with watching the baby. I believe Teddy had to stay at home for the date and watch the little sister because her parents view her as the reasonable one. I also think it is because she is a girl and most girls don’t have the same rules of their brothers.

I rarely got a turn on this game, as I got older they told me it was because it was like getting a massage so their turn was never finished. I recall playing many board games with my mom, dad, sister, brother, and cousin. When Sebastian, my cousin, and I would go to my grandma and grandpa 's house (almost every day) we would often make up our own games such as ‘house’ and other child like games. When it was time to take a nap I would try to delay it as much as possible. I would sort of make a game out of making my grandma watch Mary Poppins with me every single day I was there.

My father let me do whatever I wanted. Although my father let me do whatever I wanted to do, my mother is very controlling. If my mother said wash the dishes at six o’clock with only hot water, she meant it. She would make me and my brothers come in the house before the street light came on. My mother do not allow any children to be disrespectful towards her.

The college has helped me in many ways not only with my education. One example of this is I have been able to work the whole time that I have been attending classes. This allowed me to save enough money that now when I transfer to NIU in January with my associates degree, I will be able to pay for it in full without taking out student loans. This was one of my fears be for going into college was that I was going to be in debt after. ECC has helped my accomplish at least two of my goals while I was here, get a good education and not have to take out a student loan.

While these were common struggles I was also finding difficulty in figuring out what I wanted to do. I entered UCI as a Psychology and Social Behavior major and with advices from other people I was pursuing Pre-Med as well and I started taking chemistry and biology classes. However, I was quick to find out that these classes were not for me which was reflected in my grades in those courses. Even though the initial couple of months were difficult, I found what I was passionate about which were the criminology classes that I began to take.

I remember my sister telling me about this when I was in high school and I was so surprised that there was a movement of Chicanx. When reading Occupied America, the book mentioned student organizations such as M.E.Ch. A, which is the first

As a class, we couldn’t come up with a reason to why he wrote this part of the book. I would ask him a lot of other questions that indirectly relate to the book. The second question would be what inspired this book? Which character do you most relate to?

As our final assignment for cornerstone we were tasked with revising our rhetorical analysis. I received a B, 81%, and by the end of my revisions have “A” quality work. During recent assignments and papers for other classes I realized the thesis was one of the first few sentences in the paper. As I was reading my paper I noticed that the purpose of the author writing this wasn 't until almost halfway into the first paragraph.
