I am amused when I remember my first dance lesson, and the pressure I felt until then because I was practically afraid of interacting with people I did not know. Gradually I learnt that my fear had not been justified and I even became a very sociable person thanks to the fact that I entered the world of break dancing. Not only did I learn how to dance consequent to having become accustomed with this new style of living, but I have also learnt how motivation can be a great helper in any situation. In addition to constantly improving my dance techniques, I also began to get better grades and to become more interested in accumulating information.
It is very probable that break dancing has also gotten me to apply and to be accepted at the University of California San Diego's California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science (COSMOS). The fact that I had already become a popular person had been a huge help in making me form strong bonds...
My fluency in English, Chinese, and Spanish has also proved to be valuable when concerning my ability to integrate in an environment filled with ethnical and cultural diversity.
I consider myself to have been extremely privileged because of getting the chance to present the results of our program to Nobel Laureates. During my stay at COSMOS I realized how lucky I was to be part of such a community and how motivated I got to work hard and efficiently in order to use all the advantages I had. In the end all that work paid off, and, thanks to the humorous and attention-grabbing nature of my presentation I managed to become one of the most reputed students from the University that year.
Considering my experience in break dancing and my success at COSMOS, I believe that I have what it takes to bring a little taste of diversity to a college community.
Personal Perspective on Changes That Occur Throughout Early, Middle, And Late Adulthood One of the more interesting things about aging is just how differently people go about the process. In my experience, many people seem to grow older and change very little from their early to late adulthoods as a result, keeping the same interests, friends, spouse, home and job for years and years. For instance, I know one elderly widower,
While it may not longer still be appropriate to consider college an opportunity to explore "life" more broadly, it is still an environment where exploring different academic interests (or potential interests) in order to determine where one's greatest aptitude and intellectual interest lie is perfectly appropriate. Admittedly, it may be that some students (such as those with narrow and clearly defined areas of interest) should not necessarily be required
Better leadership skills from the general manager will also mean employees who not only perform better, but are also more capable and more productive at work. Job factors There are several job factors that I usually take into consideration and this is also shown in my current job as general manager. First of all, in terms of the environmental context, I tend to appreciate those types of jobs with a high
In my DARC 158 Biology of Addictions course, I was introduced to the medical side behind addictive personalities and the reasonings for addictions. Here we studied both the short- and long-term consequences of substance use and abuse as to all systems of the body. From these studies I was able to better understand the biology of addiction in dual diagnosis patients and how their psychology affects and directly impacts
This is why I consider the legal system to be the only means available for people to defend their rights, without discrimination for their position, as an accused or plaintiff. There are many misfortunes that take place every day. In a lot of these situations, there are people who cannot benefit from a proper defense of their interests and who fall prey to the legal systems throughout the world. Innocents
personal responsibility and accomplishing college success. Even though not everyone seeks to get college education, personal responsibility and education go together. A person must develop good morals, rules, and good time management to achieve personal goals that lead to a successful life. In addition, self-discipline, respect of oneself and others, loyalty and compassion seem to be central elements that help to foster personal and social responsibility on college campuses.
