    Job Shadowing Research Paper

    This summer I had the privilege of job shadowing a great lawyer and family friend, Nancy Bonilla. I have nearly always wanted to be a lawyer, and in all honesty I was a little concerned that after watching a real court hearing, and seeing all the work that lawyers actually have to put into each and every case, I would no longer wish to become a lawyer. However my fears were removed entirely as soon as I walked into her downtown Fort Worth office; the day I had arranged to job shadow Mrs. Bonilla, she had a court hearing in Denton, so immediately upon my arrival I was exposed to the last minute stress of getting the clients case in order. I was able to help Mrs. Bonilla with getting her paper work…

    The Piano Lesson

    The Piano Lesson

    I feel badly for Boy Willie. As much as I can understand why Berniece didn't want to let Boy Willie sell that piano, I don't think she even for a second thought about how beneficial it would be to go through with such a sale. That piano would undoubtedly be just what Boy Willie needed to get his life on track. He has plans to buy land and with the money from that piano, Boy Willie could get just the land he needed. All right, he should've at least been a little more respectful toward Berniece; he was actually rather rude. But at the same time, that piano was just as much his as it was hers, and the least she could've done was talk to him about it and try to settle on something. Berniece values the family's past a little too much in my opinion. In valuing her family's past so much, she's holding back what could be of the family's future. In not putting this piano up for sale, she's passing up golden opportunities for this family. And in her attitude toward it all, it's like she won't even think twice. I would have liked to see Berniece at least think about some of the positive sides of selling this piano. Her ignorance shines as we watch her stubbornness grow. And on top of all of this, there is one thing that absolutely outrages me! When she pulls the gun on Boy Willie in front of her own daughter, it blew me to pieces. As frustrated as I'm sure she was with Boy Willie, I still believe that she was out of her mind when she did that. Something like that is not for a child's eyes, not at that age. A good mother would never allow her own daughter to witness something like that. It truly bothered me.…

    Lessons from the Classroom

    I decided to take CELTA course as part of my continuing professional development. I am working in a FE institution and I am training and assessing NVQs at the moment, but have wanted to move on to full time ESOL and literacy for quite some time. I also really wanted to go travelling and thought that teaching could be the answer to any cash shortages on the way. The three month-journey I put myself through with CELTA proved to me that I can actually start thinking seriously about pursuing a career in ELT and gave me confidence to kick start my travelling preparations, because I do not have to worry so much about coming back and finding myself without a job, money and career perspectives. All through my life people told me I would make an ok teacher and now I think I believe them. I thoroughly enjoyed the “ride”: the lesson planning, the stress of standing in front of a group of people, the hectic atmosphere of working and studying at the same time, the deadlines, the madly long hours in the library and most of all, the overwhelming feeling of wild satisfaction I get after a successful lesson. I do realise, however that there is a long way to go before I reach the standard I set for myself, but the end of the course does not, in any way mean the end of development for me. To learn language teaching in three months is really a challenge, but because of its structure, the course facilitates a tremendous learning curve in all students. When I think about it now, at the end of the journey, I think that part time course is the only option that could work for me, not only because I am in a full time employment, but because the course lasts over 12 weeks, it provides an opportunity to finish my lesson, sit back and really think about the strengths and weaknesses and the progress and areas to improve. My TP experience started with some good comments; Fay wrote that my “presence in the classroom is flawless and you are…

    Lessons in Life

    Its 10:16 P.M., 27th day of December of this year near to end—2012. I don’t know what pushed me to write something again. Maybe because of these folks I’m listening to now, talking of the coming New Year. But still my mind is flying above the air, the skies filled with mist because of the pouring rain. I just realized its been a long time since I wrote down my thoughts, it’s been so long since I get back to write something about the days that passed and share it with all of you. Talking about that, I just realized I’ve missed so much time, not just these past few days, but the past months. I thought of doing things later, but then forgot about it. Until I reflected through the end, realizing I haven’t done such things and then, regretting.…
