Dumas' seamless use of analogies, word choice and quotations assists in her goal of making the reader understand and sympathize with her frustration.…
The self-assessment results reflect the profile management foundations (PMF) of an individual who possesses the successful skills to manage and lead others, with the ability to compromise with their workforce as conflicts occur within an organization. On the A Twenty-First Century Manager assessment, my score was 9/10. I think back to all the times that I have stepped up to be a leader from group projects and consulting; I have always known how to be a great leader. Some are born to be a leader. According to Shane Scott, the numerous studies done have shown genes affect a host of leadership dimensions.

I felt sad for Mr. Gill, one of the main reasons being that I have personally been in a MVC myself which brought up the similar feelings, such as anxiety and chronic pain that Mr. Gill expressed. It felt like despite the differences in our age or situation, the pain he was expressing I could relate to directly. Another reason for feeling sadness for him was that he reminded me so much of my own father in appearance and nature. During the session, he referred to me as someone who is like his daughter and that he felt comfortable sharing information with me. I think this moment caused a shift in our therapeutic relationship, in which I felt even more inclined to show him respect and to provide encouragement on his development. The language barriers he faced in getting treatment made me feel angry towards the system. Unfortunately, MVC are common occurrences in our society thus, I imagined that the support systems would have been set in place for survivors to reduce the effects of physical and psychological harms.…

However, I am certain that I am ready for the challenges that my professor will assign me in the fall.…
As I began English 111 this summer I thought I was a good writer unfortunately. I was not skilled in writing like I expected. As I progressed in in this course it has become evident to me I lacked the proper structure when formulating an essay.
