Re: Topic 1 DQ 1
Hello classmates, my name is Garrett Osterode. I'm from Anthem, Arizona and I am a freshman here at Grand Canyon University.so far this year I have really enjoyed getting to know my roommates and meeting new friends. School gives me a chance to develop my educational intellectuality and allows me to use my brain in ways not normally used. What I have found to be challenging throughout my years in school is staying focused and keeping my head on straight as I tackle the tasks assigned.
For the past 2 years i have worked at Streets of New York, a local pizza joint in my town. It has been an amazing opportunity and i have been so lucky to have been given the chance to do many things within that job. I have enjoyed being able to do many things within my workplace, I have waited tables, drive deliveries, and make the pizza. Although I have enjoyed my past job, my passion is baseball. So with my degree in Sports Management I hope to eventually work for the Diamondbacks within their charities and help to create new charities that promote Christianity within the world of professional sports.
What i enjoy doing with my time includes: baseball, watching movies, listening to music, and meeting new people. I play on the baseball team here at GCU and i spend most of my free time with that. It is challenging at times, but it is the one thing I love more than anything. The types of movies I enjoy are primarily coming of age tales like The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I also enjoy a sentimental movie here and the there like the The Breakfast Club.
I am obtaining my degree because my passion is baseball and I think with it I can do what I love. They say if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life, and that is what i am trying to accomplish. The reason i chose Grand Canyon University is because I love the Christian atmosphere and being around people who want to better themselves. Obtaining this degree, especially at this school, will give me so

    This week’s topics included many interesting things, and I will touch on the areas that I thought were most important. The first area deals with the types of in-services that administrators provide to make sure that teachers have the appropriate skills to recognize the early signs of emotional behavioral disorder (EBD) in their students. How to intervene effectively to keep them from getting worse is another important area to cover. Another area is why an emotional or behavioral disorder should be considered a disability. I think that it is important to know what EBD is before it can properly be assessed, so that will be covered. Last but not least I will discuss instruction in an EBD classroom.…

    When discussing the topic of teasing, there are a lot of things to consider in respect to when it is considered appropriate or inappropriate. So much of what is considered appropriate is usually between people who have a mutual understanding or a friendship. Most of the time teasing is used in good humor to make each other laugh, or to jab at someone in a friendly manner. When friends or people who are close tease one another, usually there are areas that are considered off limits or things that are considered bad taste to bring up.…
