When I first arrived at college, I did not expect to do all the things I am doing currently. One of those things would be a tutor, and help other people with their struggles in different classes. I was always good in subjects such as mathematics and science, but never would I have thought I would be a tutor. The reason for it is because I am not an outgoing person. I am not a person who would talk to anybody I do not know, let alone ask them if they need help. I always had the ability to help…
National Labor Relations Board: Role, Policy and Political Influence The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) was established in 1935 by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). (Carrell & Heavrin, 2013, p. 31). According to Carrell and Heavrin (2013), the NLRA also known as the Wagner Act states that employees have the right to self-organize; to form, join, or assist labor organizations; to bargain collectively through representation of their own choosing; to engage in other concerted…
The Student Support Services Program has been my beacon of light that has guided me ever since the college journey commenced exactly eight months ago. As a first-generation student, I, and I know many other students, encounter hurdles and obstacles that often prevent us from success. Nonetheless, SSSP encourages me to strive and navigate through the college campus like a free and independent bird. I think what I am most proud of belonging to the SSSP family is the people who are part of it.…
In my interview with Ash Ameed, I learned a lot about his home country of Egypt and his values and beliefs that shape his life. Before conducting this interview, I did not really think about where the people who live and work around me were from. Ash and his family own three convenience stores in the county, as well as a restaurant. By talking with him and asking him several questions, I was able to learn about his life, his beliefs, and similarities and differences between America and Egypt.…
found that effective teaching of Asian teachers without applying Western teaching standards (Holiday, 1994). Phillipson (1992) made a comparison of native and non-native teachers of English and he pointed out that native-speaking teacher is not better than none-native speaker naturally. He furthered the study and worked with Pennycook (1994) to rebut the saying that Western teaching methods is universal and can be applied to any settings. They found that the ‘advanced’ teaching pedagogy in…
reliever wore off. Yet ignoring this small factor when I look back that was the only down side to the whole experience as I gained friends and a better understanding for my limits and what could be done. Yet the benefits of crossing far outweighed the negatives as the cross is something that comes about my mind far more frequently than the apparent back pain that I endured during that summer. Experiences in my mind come at some cost, as nothing in this world is free, but rather takes some form…
supporting evidence of claims. The message they are hearing is that, “…science and religion are at odds…” (Frye). The idea of transcendence is lost to the Millennial generation, and along with it went the magic and mystery that accompanied religious experience. Secularization has virtually eliminated, “…coherent symbolic universe of meanings...” (Unbelief, page 74). Also vanished is the understanding of individual significance and an understanding of one’s purpose in the world. In other…

Extraverts have great interpersonal skills which are important in flat organizations that promote a lot of communication. Individuals open to experience and extraverts both have effective teamwork abilities which are also needed…
Openness to Experience 10-50 30 30 Conscientiousness 9-45 27 34 Extraversion 8-40 24 24 Agreeableness 9-45 27 39 Neuroticism 8-40 24 20 My openness to experience, I think, makes sense that my result is the same as the midpoint. I think that because I can come up with new ideas, am curious about different things, and I value artistic, aesthetic experiences. However, I am not a very deep thinker nor do I have an active imagination or am inventive. Also, while I value and like to experience art, I…
Sir Gawain is established as a noble hero represented by a pentangle; an interconnected five-pointed shape delineating his qualities in fives. He has perfect senses of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell (640). Further, his fingers are always perfect, which could be an elaboration of touch, but also denote dexterity (641). Sir Gawain is a faithful follower of the Christian religion, which is "founded in the five wounds/ Christ received on the cross" (642-643). When Sir Gawain is faced…
