at the academy fitness was a few times a week‚ and a check box. My leadership skills were good‚ but I honestly had no idea what I was doing.

It makes me reflect on the reasons why and on my past personal experiences that have brought me to this point. There is a saying that most social workers are “wounded healers.” Meaning that we have experienced trauma or unfortunately have had to be around or seen those kinds of situations. I consider myself to be a wounded healer. As a child for many years I experienced many situations that no child should have had to endure. Therefore‚ for me being a social worker means that I will make change happened

only thing that separates people who succeed from those who don’t is‚ the understanding of failure. However we cannot be successful in everything we partake in. My first experience of failure was my freshman year of high school. I joined the debate team. I had no intentions of ever losing a debate because it couldn’t be that hard to argue. My teacher signed me up for a tournament over the weekend. I practiced hard and gathered a lot of evidence. I came into the tournament with a cocky attitude. I believed

Tutoring Field Experience The little girl that I tutored was named Helen. She is a Hispanic student in first grade. She is very quiet and I had a hard time getting information from her.

My experiences serving others have exposed me to the issues my community faces and have shown me that I can make a difference.

My Lincoln Intermediate experience is very hard to remember. I can never tell the two years apart. I had the same three teachers for both years. I don’t know how that works but it happened. I had the same math teacher my mom had when she was in 6th grade. Mrs. Rezab she was my favorite teacher in Lincoln‚ but I’m not so sure she liked me. She would always say “Where’s your homework?” Or “Why isn’t it done?” I never ever did my homework‚ and to be honest I’m still learning to do it. One day in 6th

Every year‚ Key Club members from all over the San Francisco Bay Area gather at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom to show off their spirit for their respective division through cheers‚ spirit battles‚ and overall friendliness.

Going through kindergarten to third grade‚ I had interesting experiences meeting new people and making friends. From having weird teachers to making memorable friends‚ a dull moment never passed.

I remember one day‚ the teacher told the class to do a worksheet. I sat right next to Kristen in class‚ so we helped each other with
