George Washington was a very powerful figure in our American history. His works such as winning the Revolutionary War, creation of the United States Constitution, and the establishment of a new government is some of the works that we remember him for (Earhart, Poele, & Dethier, 1932). Not only did he contribute great works, but he also wrote many famous and well-known speeches. One of his famous speeches was his farewell address. This farewell address noted many major points such as patriotism, liberty carries responsibility, importance of preserving the Constitution, relying on God, honesty and money matters, avoidance of foreign influence, and favors from other nations.…
For me the greatest knowledge and skills gain was in learning about and conducting the Life Review. I was able to take acquired knowledge in the area of physcosocial development and apply the knowledge. By reading Harder, A (2012) senthesiszed review of Erikson’s developmental stages, I was able to apply the stages of development to my subject in the life review. Addionally, by using Butler’s description of a Life Review is was able to gain greater insight into the differenct between simple reminishing and a true Life Rivew. Butler (2002) indicates they differences between simple reminiscing and a Life Review is that in the Life Reivew a person who comes to the end of their live and they try to make sense of their life and they try to resolve…
I always knew about having to do a senior project and when it came down to it, I wanted to do something in the career I want to become. I went to my dentist to see if I could shadow them and they said no, because there was a virus going around and I couldn't be exposed to it. I tried to talk to an investigator and try to do my senior project with them since they were my second choice it didn't work out. They were always busy and everything is pretty secretive so I couldn't do it. My friend Darlin told me about how her sister did her senior project in Children's Advocacy Center and explained to me what it's about. It sounded like a great idea!…

On the self-assessment inventory, I scored between 76 and 88 out of 100 on each key competency except for the Change and Across Cultures competencies. My scores were within the numerical range for 68% of managerial professionals that completed this self-evaluation. For the most part, I see myself as very good on a number of the skills such as balancing my personal and work life, embracing uniqueness, supporting the goals of a team, and making ethical business decisions. For the Across Cultures competency, I am lacking in global experience and the skills to recognize the differences of various cultures and customs. In addition, I need to improve on recognizing, leading, and implementing adaptations when needed by teams and organizations.…
I, Kourtney Brooks, am writing to you in hopes that the decision of me being ineligible for financial aid due to not maintaining a cumulative GPA of 2.0 can be appealed due to extenuating circumstances. Entering into the spring semester, due to my performance in the Fall I knew there was a lot of work to be done. In the Fall, after being out of college for a few years I had to get acclimated to working and going to school full time, not to mention online schooling, which is something I hadn’t experienced before, but due to having to work to take care of myself I made the decision to try it because I know in order to truly excel in life I have to further my education. Nonetheless, I went into the spring semester a stronger student due to the mistakes in the semester that instilled the strength and…
The crowd was roaring and happily jumping from the intersection that just happened against the TCU. Everyone was ecstatic as the students waved their white towels and cheered on our team. The smell of donuts and popcorn filled the air as the game heated up. Waves of yellow and maroon filled the stadium like one united nation.

I felt embarrassed and annoyed at the same time because of the guy attention was drawn to us and he ruined our…
In order to have a successful journey through college one must prepare extensively beforehand. I learned this concept after my parents told tales about what they wished they had done during high school to prepare for college. In order to lay the groundwork for my future education, I enrolled in advanced dual credit courses, took many significant tests, researched college campuses that I was interested in, and also filled out numerous applications. Together, the aforementioned steps set me up for an easy acceptance when the time arrived.…
As a child, I always admired and respected men and women who served the United States in the Navy and armed forces. These positions required a lot of sacrifice which meant that only the strongest willed of them made it through. That will power seemed to distinguish them from other members of society, they were mentally and physically stronger. When it came time for me to look into applying for colleges, I looked for places that had good engineering programs, top tier educations, and a structured student campus life. Many universities had the former two requirements, however, very few had the latter requirement. While discussing college options with my computer engineering teacher, he recommended I look into the United States Naval Academy…

Being a big sister I have always been introduced into the basics of how to take care a children. For my senior project I chose the self-development option where I took a class at WITC on “Intro to Child Care.” The class had a Pass/Fail grading system. I decided to take the class as my senior project to expand my prior knowledge on childcare. Also I took the class to determine if I want to pursue a career in childcare so I would know what colleges to go to and what programs I would need to pursue. The initial goals I had before starting the class were to complete the class, to expand my knowledge and to decide whether or not to pursue childcare as a career.…

During my college level education, I have been very intrigued by the field of science. Specifically, the subject which interests me the most is microscopic molecules and organisms. The class that I believe sparked my interest was my second semester of general biology at Paradise Valley Community College. During this class, I was introduced to the intricate details of cells and the idea that microscopic organisms outnumber all other living things on Earth. This class also provided me with information about viruses, which quickly became most interesting topic for me.…
