Civic Mirror Essay
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate my success in the Hex Auction 6 out of 10. This is because I was unable to buy many hexes that I aimed for due to lack of money. The one thing that I think I did really well during the auction was raising the prices of the hexes because many citizens needed them, so they were willing to pay anything just to own the property. This also caused their money to decrease and left and advantage for me, because they had less money towards the auction which meant they would not be able to afford the rest of the hexes.
Furthermore, the one thing that I wish I could have done over was, I wish I had not bought the security hex. This is because I was not aiming to buy that hex, but just trying to raise the price. I did this because I thought that since the government had promised to provide us citizens with access to free security they would buy the hex both ways. This proved me wrong when they stopped bidding right after I had said a price. In other words, I didn’t really need to buy the security hex. It basically caused me to go in a type of loss, because after buying that I was unable to afford anything else. 
The main part of the Hex Auction was the thing that the government did that frustrated me. This was, when any citizen went towards buying an un-residential hex (i.e.; education, health, etc.) the government would threaten them by saying “if you guys buy those hexes, then we will not supply it free to the rest of the community.” This frustrated me because during the elections, when the party was stating their platforms – they had not made us aware that if we bought an un-residential hex that they are planning to, they will then change their platform and deny of offering it to the rest of the nation.
Surprisingly, there was not a single thing that the government had done that had impressed me. Lastly, after the Hex Auction the most important question that comes to my mind is that, the government had not said that we could not buy

    A writer's choice of words can be the fall or the rise of the author's work. Using diction, writers are able to make words come alive and illustrate a particular scene that the author wants to portray. If diction is not used, the idea trying to be portrayed can become blasé. Readers are more captivated to read works if the story is more descriptive and influential. For example, compare the two following sentences: the old brown tree is dying, and the aged russet tree slowly decays into the earth. Of the two sentences, the second sentences uses diction that is able to let the reader's imagination run wild. William Faulkner is unique writer who is able to manipulate a mere sentence into an image that captivates the reader's minds. In "A Rose for Emily," Faulkner uses diction to enhance his mysterious happenings of Emily Grierson's life from the way the townspeople behave all the way to Emily's unrequited love for Homer Barron.…

    Man is insignificantly cursed with constantly craving power, attention and control over what they have no jurisdiction in.“Prospero attempts to control death by fitting it into his own work as a motif rather than as a reality”(Dudley). In Poe’s “Masque of The Red Death” Prince Prospero feels that power and control are the key to success and survival, although he doesn’t realize that his depressive plan of trying to control the unknown and create power will end with his demise.…

    How would my subordinates describe me as a leader? I have never seemed to think as myself as a leader however, since I have been in the INANG my subordinates would describe me as a good mentor and team builder. I like to work close by those underneath me and be ready to jump in and help when there is an issue. I would also be described as a good listener. When I was a senior airman I was asked by a colonel: If I could change something with our leadership, what would it be? In the back of my mind I thought that was his job, but I answered anyway. I told him that there could be better communication with everything from the hangar to the back shops. From that point on, we would see him working his way around more often to keep in touch and gather feedback. Since then, I like to ask my subordinates ideas of how they would do something better. How would my supervisor describe me as a follower? My supervisor would describe me as a follower that does not have to be told what to do. He would also say that if there was a task that was given to me that he would not have to worry about it getting accomplished. What leadership style do I use? The types of leadership style that I use could be described as a coaching style. I like to do the “watch this method” to see if subordinates get it and then help out. I believe this method works majority of the time because if I respect others then typically they expect me. How would I describe myself as an NCO? I would describe myself as a professional airman that upholds to the CORE VALUES of AIR FORCE. My supervisor would describe me as an excellent NCO and mentor dedicated to the military. What are my strengths? My biggest strength is my social skills and working with others. I enjoy working with others rather than being alone. I do not know many strangers. What is my essence? The qualities that make me who I am are excitement, fun, and action.…

    To me, National Honors Society’s four pillars are essential elements to being a member of this society. Scholarship and leadership are the two pillars that I feel complement each other because one should be a leader in the community and school without forgetting to be a good student and scholar. Service and character go well together because in order to provide services to students or members of the community, it is necessary to have a good character in order to help others.…

    After reading my first critical reflection paper the one thought that keeps scrolling in my brain is, “how naive I have been concerning IVP/domestic violence”. I remember not wanting to “label” myself as a “victim” because “I am and was not ever a VICTIM!” I was strong and able to leave that relationship so how does that make me a victim? How naive for me to think in that manner. I like to rename this “Critical Reflection Paper II, to “Enlightenment Paper”. I also have been taught a new word to replace “victim”, I am a survivor! My experience may not have been as sever as others but just the same, I am a survivor if IVP. I recall in our text, chapter 2 pg. 29, “Women’s perceptions and reactions to abuse, as well as the help available to them, are influenced by the lens through which they see the world and the intersectionality of the different cultural influences on their lives” (Lockhart, L., and Danis, F. 2010). Our experiences are defined by how we see the world, not…

    In this task I will be reflecting upon an incident undertaken on area of my work. The model of reflection I’ve chosen is Gibbs (1988), which involves reflection on the description, feelings, evaluation, conclusion and action plan (Gibbs 1988). The Gibbs (1988) reflective cycle is fairly straightforward and encourages a clear description of the situation, analysis of feelings, evaluation of the experience, analysis to make sense of the experience, conclusion where other options are considered and reflection upon experience to examine what you would do if the situation arose again. The procedure in which I will be reflecting upon is Last offices; I chose this due to how constructive and valuable it was in my personal and professional development as a student practitioner nurse.…

    As nervous as I was when I walked into Saint Joseph Catholic School (K-8) for my first day of kindergarten, I never thought I would be able to leave after 6th grade and enter the world of middle school. In a small school of about 400 kids, I was familiar with every face that passed by me in the hallway. I got to know the kids in my grade so well and we all knew each other’s life stories. By the time I was in 6th grade at Saint Joseph, some of my friends were planning on going to Kinard middle school in 7th grade. At this point in my life, I was not completely content with where I was going to school. The realization came to me that it was time to move on. It was time for me to try something new.…
