During my last three years of college career, I have encountered not exactly the same but few similar questions about evaluating myself. Though I know what I am capable of more than anybody else, it is not easy to judge myself where I stand. In 2012, I came from Ethiopia right out of high school, and by the time I arrived in the US, my English writing and speaking skills were very poor. I came here to attend a college, so I studied English grammar, writing and reading books for one full month and I took the non-native placement test at Montgomery College. Surprisingly, my efforts paid off, I was accepted to take credit classes and I began attending college after another month. Since then, I have taken quit few English classes and I have improved my English skill very …show more content…
However, I have never done any grant proposal work in the past, so I am sure the last assignment is going to be a challenge for me. From its title, grant proposals are usually done by organization leaders and scientists who are seeking fund for their research. I am not yet a leader or a scientist, so I still have a lot to learn to be able to craft a good grant proposal. What is important is that I am still a student and learning, so I still have the opportunity to achieve this. ENGL395 is my first English that focuses on my long term educational career, medicine. As the semester goes, I am sure I will learn a lot and be ready to write the grant proposal assignment. Though I am still learning, in a three years and some months ran, I feel very good about my English writing, reading and speaking skill. I started from scratch and I am now able to write essay such as like this, so it a great success for me. My instructors and mentors have had a big role for my success, so I would like to take this opportunity and say thank you very
The second part the project-title is “Bicentennial Kids.” This portion of the title describes the proposed plan for which the grant
Hello again, I am so sorry I’ve emailed you so many times but I would really really like to meet one on one with Gerardo. My initial meeting that was scheduled for February 14th, I had to cancel due to being very sick and not wanting to spread it to him or his family. Are there any open slots? God bless, Rachal Adent
Hello, I am Connor Love. I am writing this letter as a soon to be former student of Katy Leuschen 's "Waves of Change" writing 111 class. The first semester of my collegiate career has taught me many valuable lessons, from learning how to better succeed academically to how to deal with the flu without my mother. The lessons I have learned in writing class have not only helped my writing abilities grow, but also have helped me improve in other aspects of my life. During "Waves of Change" I learned how to revise my work, more importantly, that uncertainty during the writing process is normal, and revise my thinking.
Moreover, grant seekers must consider to carefully stating and describing the problem they wish to solve in a rough draft. By doing this, grant seekers should consider to combine the ideas provided by past grantees such as including statistics or data information. The second step is writing the objectives and provide detailed information of the process required to achieve the purpose the organization is trying to achieve. Furthermore, grant seekers must consider to include the strategies utilized by the organization in order to achieve the project’s purpose and results. The next step is to stating the budget requested by providing justification of the direct or indirect cost that the organization will require in order to implement the project in society.
I am a pioneer! My pioneer story isn’t your average Latter Day Saint pioneer story, as far as historical LDS stories go! I was raised by goodly parents, I was born and raised in Spokane Washington. I am the youngest of three children born to Jim and Shannon Newell. My brother James is the oldest and four years older than myself.
Back to Claremont He turned to me, questioning whether I want to raise it or not. The only reply he received-frankly the only reply he would ever need-was my bid number slightly raised in the air and my head slightly nodding in approval. “Two now two now two now two,” an unruly cry tore through his lips, shaking the entire crowd. My actions were kept repetitive and my eye never left the opposing bidder, a collector from out of town.
My body cried like a newborn babe, afraid in an unfamiliar place. Immediately, my fresh eyes were greeted by waves of black hair, friendly smiles, and the Japanese language. I had arrived in Japan. I did not know the language or the customs, but I dove right into the dark pool. I was determined not to let the unknown drown me.
Initially, when I first walked into class, I had no respect for writing papers or the class. However, as the weeks progressed and the weeks went by, I’ve slowly gained the respect that English deserves. While it is still fairly difficult for me to formulate my thoughts and turn them into cohesive, well-structured sentences and paragraphs, I now know that most of what I write now is so much better than what my writing was when we initially started. It is through practice and revision that my writing has improved.
Although my grades were not always consistent, I never earned less than a B for a final grade in my English courses. Often my instructors privately told me that my papers were the best in the class and shared my work with others. My writing secured me a free trip to London and Paris with my business club as well as my acceptance into multiple colleges. I am certain my extracurricular activities, including cheerleading, volleyball, community service projects, fundraisers and employment also played a vital role in these accomplishments. Of all the schools to which I applied, only VSU waitlisted me probably because of my phobia about standardized examinations, which caused me not to perform as well as I should have on the SAT.
It goes to show you that when you first meet somebody, you have no idea what they 've been through, their experiences, or their story. I realized this after interviewing Mekion Grant, and did it make me think. He sat down and I presumed he was just the average senior, I stated if it was okay if I recorded this conversation, which he gave his consent. Little did I know, that I accidentally didn 't hit record, having close to none of his exact words on tape. Not that it mattered, because his story is something I 'll probably remember forever.
My field experience consisted of attending 3 Newton’s high school volleyball practices and the end of the season playoffs. Upon arrival I was greeted by old friends that are a part of the program. The coaches were not there yet so it was the girls and captains responsibility to set up nets and begin practice. The girls socialized for majority of the time and waited last minute to put up the nets. Once nets were up they would began to stretch and warm up then begin practice without the coaches.
“Know this, you can start over, each morning.” - Tyler Joseph. It was soccer practice and I was making my way to the field. I was about seven or eight years old. Unfortunately, I just couldn’t make that one shot.
For my Senior Project Experience I job shadowed a Park Ranger at Wallowa Lake Park. Having always have loved the outdoors and being interested as pursuing Recreation Management as a career it seemed like a fine choice for my experience. My mentor and I spent the weekend maintaining the park and working on projects to help make it better. Some of these tasks were harder than others, making for some challenging moments. Spending that weekend in a almost Fargo-esque environment with some strange characters and beautiful scenery was an amazing experience.
While every single word in this personal statement is true, I would have been naive if I had asserted the following statement even a few years ago; maturity, experience, and deep-seated introspection allow me to say with confidence that I now fully understand and appreciate the significance of being given the opportunity to attend law school. As what should be every other applicant, I have faith in my ability to succeed throughout my education and legal career thereafter. What experiences, characteristics, and abilities demonstrate why I am a more desirable candidate as opposed to, for example, someone with a somewhat similar occupational background, grade point average, and score on the law school admission test? “I mean this lovingly, but I’ve never really worried about you… I always knew you were going to be all right.” These are a few of the words my mother said to me at some point during 2013, the year she passed away at the age of fifty very early in the morning December 26th.
In my communications class I was asked to create a presentation that was called my story. As I thought about the assignment I thought critically about what I wanted to put in it and why I thought it deserved a spot in my story. Then I immediately thought about my childhood like where I went to preschool, elementary school and then my teen years like where I went to high school and what sports I played. One of the requirements for the presentation was to be narrating in the background for each slide. Pearson, Nelson, Titworth, and Hosek (2016) say the definition of narrating is “the oral presentation and interpretation of a story, a description, or an event; includes a dramatic reading of prose or poetry” (p.343).
