Discovering My Path Through Humanities 101

Reflective Essay On Community Activities
1. MRC Community Participation The opportunities for community building within MRC are abundant and seem to never end. This chance to
connect, build, and maintain relationships with fellow peers interested in research and a community is a priceless experience that is very unique
to MRC. In just a few short months, I have actively aimed to attend every event that was offered, soaking in all of the opportunities that MRC has
to offer. While I haven't made it to every event, I do try my best to find time for my community. Firstly, my favorite event that MRC hosts is MRC
tea time, for this is a great way to meet MRC alumni, converse with the wonderful staff, and share stories with friends from the fourth and fifth
floors, all while drinking warm tea! I truly love this event and I met one of my great friends there, Milan, and a helpful mentor, Maddie! Because
picking favorite MRC events feels like picking my favorite family members, I am now just going to list some of the amazing events I have been to.
The creativity within MRC is absolutely astonishing! This is evident by all of the fun events planned by our own members. I have been to an event
for building zen gardens, and solving a murder case, and a game night where there was a karaoke machine. I have watched La La Land with fourth
floor middle Jo and popped my stress away with Crystal and her floor. STEPS encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone. Community

English 101 Reflective Essay
English 101 has been such an adventure. I know that sounds corny, but I just couldn't help myself. When I decided to do a short–term English class, I
thought it would be fun and challenging; My expectations were correct. As I write this reflection, I look back on the topics and assignments that
existed in this short period of time from post 1 to the multi–modal project. I will list the challenges I experienced which creating the creative project,
what I learned from the beginning of class to the end, and what I need to work on in the future. This English adventure started on post 1 and 2 and
ended at the multi–modal project. When I first did post 1 and 2 ,I was excited because we were incorporating fallacies to our discussions. I
previously learned more about fallacies and ethos, pathos, and logos from a previous communications course and I appreciated the review. I found
that it was challenging to respond properly to posts created by other classmates. My initial response was always to support each and every classmate
by telling them that they did an awesome job. I had trouble analyzing their work without agreeing with every claim. The multi model project brought
tears to my eyes and I do not mean tears of joy. At first I loved my ideas and was excited about the outcome, but my stress and nervousness...show more

For some reason, transitions are the hardest aspect of writing a paper. I will try my best to practice writing the best transitions. My summaries have
been unnecessarily lengthy because get excited about my writing or the topics I write about. I felt so bad for Professor Granillo because my second
essay has a summary that was a page long. She must have been so annoyed, but I thought I was giving her the proper information. I just need to
remember that the bulk of the information goes in the following body paragraphs. I have some things to work on, but feel comfortable with my growth

Researching the issue of smoking and tobacco addiction in Russia has allowed me to learn more about the history and culture of the country, and
increase my understanding about the effects of smoking in Russian–speaking communities. Although no one in my close family smokes, I was
surrounded by smokers when growing up and the issue of smoking remained unaddressed until I moved to Australia, where there are many
anti–smoking campaigns and education about the effect of drugs on the mind and body. After researching the topic, I realised that my knowledge and
understanding about this issue had been very minor before conducting this investigation.
I focused my in–depth study on learning more about the amount of people...show more content...

Reflection On My English 101 Experience
Reflecting on My English 101 Experience I used to consider writing as tumble words from your mind, write, read it through, fix minor mistakes, and
done. However, you rarely get successful. The truth is many students, including myself, struggle with starting to write a word, or getting stuck in the
middle without knowing the main point of the writing. After completing English 101, I can explain the writing process, evaluate the strengths of my
essay, and identify my weaknesses. Throughout English 101, I learned that the following the writing process was imperative. Before taking this class, I
use to always skip the pre–writing step considering that it is just an easy and unnecessary step. Consequently, I struggled to figure how to start writing,
and most importantly I struggled to figure out the main point while writing the draft. And then I finish the first draft close to the deadline that I do not
have time to read it not to mention revising. It was after I started this class that learned that pre–writing is vital, and requires time and attention as it
holds the base of the whole writing. My professor used different analogies such as blueprint for building and map for navigation to explain the
importance. It really speeded up my writing after I started to utilize it. I have learned outlining before, but part of the pre–writing that I was fortunate
enough to learning in English 101 is the writing triangle. Even before outlining, the topic, purpose, and audience of the

Reflection On Ethics And Ethics
"Great individuals have great ethics and great values." Ethics and morality can be used interchangeably as they sound as if they mean the same
although there is a wide distinction between them. "Strictly speaking, morality is used to refer to what we would call moral standards and moral
conduct while ethics is used to refer to the formal study of those standards and conduct. For this reason, the study of ethics is also often called moral
philosophy." (Gordana D 2007)
Morality comes first which constitutes of our beliefs and practices on what is right and wrong while ethics comes next which is a reflection on the
moral principles by our conscience. Morality is influenced by law, religion, ethical relativism and professional codes.

When we have performances the amount of time we get to make a routine and practice is pretty less, so not everyone gets to be a part of the team.
Kicking someone out is not as easy as it sounds. As rebellious as youngsters are, such fights could get out of hand. After studying about the
normative theories I realised that while making decisions about who should be removed, which show to perform in etc. the main thing that I think
of is what is going to benefit more number of people the most. If I chose to remove a particular person, it brought them grief and guilt on my behalf
in the short term but in the long term, the level of performance rose leaving the crew, judges and the audience happy. Also, sometimes we had to
choose on which show to perform and which not to. In this case we would select the show which gave us more exposure because it offers us greater
benefit opposed to a show at a smaller level. Thus, in this way the theory of utilitarianism helped me make decisions when confused about what is
ethical and what is

Humanities 101 Reflective Essay
Eh, there ain't much to say when it comes to the likes of me. Name's Todd Rexroth II, 19, and I'm the eldest of 9. I graduated from SciTech High and
soon after came to HACC. I'm here at HACC to find out what I want to do with my life. So with that out of the way, let's begin.
To begin, I'll talk about a bit of my experience at HACC. The only writing class I've had prior to this is English 051, in which I earned a C. Not
necessarily for my skill of writing, but for not following all the steps of the writing process. Fortunately, this is only my second semester so I can
mask that grade by getting better ones. Along the way I hope to finally find a major I want to pursue and stop doing general studies. Which is part of
the reason I decided to take Humanities 101 to see...show more content...
I don't really have a specific genre of music I listen to and instead just listen to whatever sounds good hittin' my ears. My music recommendation gotta
be an artist that went by Nujabes. He specializes in making beats, but sometimes teams up with other artists making some absolutely mint tunes. I, of
course, do have pictures of myself at home. Though, they're not the most recent. As for hobbies I'm into gaming, PC building, and, when I have the
time, reading. When I can afford the money and time I plan on expanding this list.
Finally, I want to end with what my ultimate goal is when I find a career. Well, first I want to find a career I'm content with doing. I don't need to
love it, but something I won't blow my brains out for down the line. After I choose the career and find a job, I'll make sure I budget my money
wisely as to better my chances of living relatively comfortable. Then, finally, do what I love as a hobby. At least, that's the initial plan so far.
In the end, I'm a simple guy just trying to find a career I can stomach for 40+ years. I do hope this introduction was as riveting to read as it was to
write. Thanks for

English Composition Reflective Essay
English composition has taught me everything I know now, from how to effectively write a thesis to grammatically fix my essay. This class fixed my
writing skills to speak and write incorrect terms. English composition gave me the edge I need to take my writing skills to next level. This class has
helped me understand the importance of documentation in a research skill. English composition showed me that sources either make or break your essay
. The true honesty of this course was that I am glad I took it. At first, I hate this class so much, because this class required so much extra work to be
done, but over time I realized that the extra work really pushes you over the edge to make your essay great. The extra work justifies your essay and

Reflection Paper About English Composition
English Composition I has developed my style of writing and my skills analyzing and researching topics to write a piece about a topic. Throughout
the course, I got better at analyzing articles and pieces to get the meaning of the topic. With that improved skill I was more able to use the
information given from the text and install it into my essays, with proper citation if needed. Before taking the English Composition course, I was not
one to organize my essays in an ordeal order to clearly state the point of the work. Now with taking the course, I have learned to organize my essays,
examine research for a topic, and develop an essay with proper mechanics, and revising skills. In writing my personal, review, analytical, and cultural

I then described my life and who I was. After describing this, I explained my experiences in confronting racism. The point of the essay was to state
that racism is still alive and can be present anywhere. After writing this essay, I learned that my mechanics and style was not where it should be. Even
with the revisions Mr. Heldenfels made in the draft, I still made mistakes with mechanics and tense shits. I had written comma splice and has several
spelling mistakes. I looked to improve my mechanics after writing this essay.
With writing my review essay of A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie's album The Bigger Artist. The essay took some time to write because of the research I
needed to gather. In this essay I used more citations and quotes. I made mistakes the mechanics in writing the quotes. This was the first essay in which
we used sources, so it was challenging to create my own ideas but I was able to do it. Writing this essay improved my knowledge of mechanics in
citations and quotations.
Through taking the course, I learned to utilizes sources in a more efficient way. In writing my analytical essay of Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A
Butterfly I had to use ten sources. All the sources I used provided different information, some provided more than others, but all sources were needed
to complete the essay. In collecting all the information for the essay, I had to research who created the source and decide if it was credible. This essay
assignment force me to examine works in

Reflective Essay Reflection
Writing overall has never been my strong suit during my years of education, but this year I feel like I grew as a writer and improved. English has
never been one of my easier classes, but I still put in the same amount of work that I do for my other classes. I know that compared to most students, I
have a really strong work ethic. With essays, I never waited until the last moment to write the whole thing. For every essay, I planned my time wisely
and split up for myself parts of the essay and when I should have them done by. Additionally, this year I tried much more to revise my essay and
reread over it to improve it. Overall, my effort for writing essays was very good, but some of my essays could have been focused more and not drift
away from the prompt. The rhetorical analysis was definitely the essay that I am most proud of. Rhetorical analysis were basically the only essays
that I did last year in AP Lang, but I got a C on almost everyone. Although this essay was my strongest, I think I could have tried more to fix
grammatical errors and sentence structure. In my revision, I fixed a body paragraph and in that body paragraph I got rid of grammatical errors,
passive voice, and changed my sentence structure. For this essay, I believe AP Lang gave me an advantage at analyzing articles, but I still had to
put in a lot of hard work. For these articles, I printed out the ones I knew I was going to use in my paper so I could annotate them better and have an
easier access to

COMM101 Reflective Paper– My top 10 takeaways from COMM101
Coming into UBC I had no idea of what to expect from the capstone course of Sauder. On the first day, Jeff said that everything would connect in the
end; I didn't realize how true that is until now. He meant that every bit and piece in the course was literally interconnected with not just class concepts
but to the entire business world. Throughout the term, I not only learned about business fundamentals, but life and people skills as well. Presenting
ideas, pitching, teamwork and just making an argument in general were simple yet essential skills that I picked up and refined. Getting a feel for
all the different disciplines Sauder has to offer was a given, but processing those soft kills were my biggest takeaway yet. Honestly speaking, coming
into Sauder, I was sure about business as a career. However, I always had an interest in political science at the back of my mind. Leaving this course, I
now know that a career in both is something definitely achievable. With the numerous guest speakers as well as the US election that happened
simultaneously throughout the term I learned that business and politics could be blended into a diverse field of opportunities; given that I put in more
than I expect and work hard.
TOOLKIT
Building my business toolkit throughout the term was fascinating. I was initially skeptical that the toolkit we learned in class could be applicable to
businesses of all sizes, from real corporations

During this class, the challenge of writing and reading many essays have definitely improve my writing. There are so many details that need to be
considered when crafting a paper. The grammar, neatness, relevance of the content, and the paper formatting are key aspects of the quality of writing.
In the essay it was fairly simple to describe my surroundings, the sound, smell and general structure. When I started thinking of all the things I
remembered from my experience in the ocean, I was able to make a gigantic list of details that I wanted to include in my essay, and I had to do
some editing in order to fit the project guidelines. I wanted to convey how powerful and moving that experience was for me. I also wanted it to have a

Reflective Essay On Reading And Writing
It was my second grade year and I was only 7 years old when I first found my hatred for anything that had to do with reading or writing. Every week
my teacher would give us a lengthy list of vocabulary words that we had to memorize before our spelling test the following week. I would study
for periods at a time trying to memorize these gruesome lists of words that I could never remember. When it came down to the day of the test I
would see all my classmates at ease while I would panic trying to remember what I studied. When it finally came time to take the test I hear the
teacher call the word "island" but the only thing I could hear was noise In a room full of silence. I was frustrated I couldn't think, the teacher would
ask is everyone ready to move on and I wouldn't say anything because I was too shy. After a couple of days I would get my score back and would
not be surprised when I found out that I had failed the test. Week after week this became a recurring theme when I got back myspelling test. Following
this experience I accepted the fact that reading and writing was just (not my thing).
Although my second grade experience was terrible, my third grade year gave me an experience that I never had with literacy. My teacher would
give us a list of words, but instead of us just having to memorize them. We would have to create a story using these words. This opened my eyes to a
part of literacy that I was never familiar with. I had total creative freedom, ( and I took it

Example Of Reflection In Literature
In the span of this course, I have learned a great deal about myself in terms of literature. This course has enabled me to make many great strides in
my writing by exemplifying the works of authors and their literary devices. English 1102 has broadened my literary horizon by showing me more
elegant ways to express my opinion. I am remorseful towards the fact that I did not take the class in person. Inversely, I have learned better ways to
communicate towards the audience, through the use of various literary elements in lieu of going on tangents. In regards to taking English 1102, I feel
as though I am on the precipitous of progress through the use of parallel structure and diction as a way of getting my point across, as well as using
poetic styles from famous authors such as Charlotte Gilman to better express my thoughts and ideas. On the other hand, not being able to take the class
in person has disabled me in a sense of not being able to garner a better sense of grammar and punctuation. Furthermore, through the assignments that I
have completed, I have mastered the use of consistency which spurred on a more fluid line of communication with the readers through the use of
efficiently utilizing parallel structure and diction, instead of jumping from topic to topic. The need to spew all perspectives originates from my
predisposition of compacting conflicting opinions on one paper. Notably, employing parallel structure has brightened up my writing tremendously. For
example,

Reflective Essay: The Progress Of My Writing
The progress of my writing has consisted of overcoming struggles as well as enhancing my strengths. Some in which will include style, organization,
evidence, focused topic, etc. Undoubtedly, there are numerous elements of writing to establish a clear statement regarding the topic discussed.
Elements that I have been focused on and implemented are the introductions that describe an overview of the topic along.
Furthermore, some components that I consider while I'm beginning to write an essay or report is to always look for evidence that the author presents
throughout his argument. It's important to point out their evidence to either support or a rebuttal and thoughts of your own. Overall, I focus on
creating a quick and simple introduction towards the text I am referring to and assemble a thesis as well as a cliffhanger to keep the audience
engaged. Likewise, I also include is transitions to form my claims and ideas be associated with each other.
In addition, the organization is also something that I have improved on to have a concrete order to cite a quote, the perspective of the author's claim,
and show evidence or support. When using I need to keep a reminder, that it's best if transitions are used for topic sentences and wrapping up the
evidence given previously to close out the last paragraph sentence. In...show more content...
For instance, sentence structure, using the word "I" in formal writing, and punctuation mistakes. Ultimately, I lack of sentence structure because I have
an idea of what is needed to talk about, but I can't properly put it in a clear way for it to relate back to the text. Therefore, I don't put much attention to
the punctuation since I'm struggling to generate a clear argument. A common mistake I tend to do is trying to implement that it's my own point of view
or perspective, going off of the quote. To which results in adding the word "I" throughout the essay without

Week 1 Reflective Essay
This is a short report on my progress in your course based on my stated goals from the week 1 introductory assignment. I stated in my introductory to
the class that I wanted to gain knowledge and skills in business writing.
My progress in the first 4 weeks of the course was very good. I scored really well on quizzes and completed two major writing assignments. I did very
well on the email assignment; I only had a few errors; my use of upper and lower case letters. I learned about the 4 keys to effective writing. The 4
keys being: Who (identifying your audience), why (your purpose for writing), what (formulating your message) and how (choosing your style and
tone). I gained a better understanding to what writing is and is not. Writing takes

Reflection In Tourism
In this essay, the importance of self–reflection in the tourism industry will be presented, which will explain the skills needed to develop people in
various sectors related to tourism as well as explain several factors that affect the performance of teams and the tourism industry. To conclude the essay,
a summary conclusion will be given on the identification of postgraduate attributes that require further development in order to develop others more
effectively when working in the Tourism area. Over the years, the importance of self–reflection has grown, since it has been shown as a useful tool to
improve the qualities and abilities of each person. In this regard, self–reflection is an important process of learning and self–awareness where we
discover our strengths, weaknesses and strongest competencies that will later help us make better decisions. According to Moon (2008) "Reflection, a
technique for aiding and reinforcing learning is a powerful tool in professional development and a wide range of other learning situations and
environments (...) Generally, we reflect for a purpose, although conclusions to complicated issues can just 'pop up' without our being conscious of there

Reflective Poetry Essay
Reflective Poetry Essay
Composing poetry is an artistic expression; subsequently it's a way of conveying everything that needs to be conveyed and finding importance in
expressions. Through poetry words are illuminated to form a picture, express feeling and share a thought in so few words. Putting down on paper all
the emotions going through ones head is a way of re–living and remembering the overwhelming emotions they grapple with throughout their lives. Poet
Michelle Williams states that: ".... humans have always grappled with overwhelming emotions. Throughout history we have expressed these emotions
in many ways, such as through song, music, dance, art and poetry"
This is true because putting on paper emotions such as hurt and...show more content...
This stanza returns to the solitude of the lonely wondering cloud. However, the poet has been changed by his imaginative experience involving the
daffodils and the accompanying bay waters. Loneliness is now a peaceful solitude. William Wordsworth describes himself as alone and lonely, detached
even from nature. Wordsworth feeling of sadness emerges from this poem.
In Conclusion, poets William Wordsworth, Percy Shelley and William Blake show how poetry displays the importance of human ability to convey
emotions and say what they feel. Therefore the quote by poet Michelle Williams is true. In poets William Wordsworth "Preface" to Lyrical ballads, he
describes poetic process as follow:
"Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feeling: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.
Thus through poetry the opportunity to recreate and relive the previously experienced emotion is conveyed.

English 101 Reflective Essay

me stressed and overwhelmed, I felt discouraged in my work. l never seemed to be able to get to the level I wanted to. I would try my hardest and
paid attention in class, but when it came to writing the paper none of that seemed to help. I think that my experience in English Composition 1 has

During high school, I seemed to get marked done for the tone used in my paper. I learned in this class that tone is a very important element in
writing a paper, and can help the paper flow better. My sentences in my high school papers didn't vary in length very well then. I always had a
problem with short choppy sentences. When writing my profile essay, research easy, and personal essay I tried to make sure I had a variety of
sentence lengths. I feel I gained some improve on this element, I know I still have issues but I have grown from where I was before. Some papers
were stronger than others and I struggled a bit more when constructing my paragraphs. My strongest paper in tone I would feel was my Personal

work with your kids and help them discover how they learn best. It's important to teach your kids that there are going to be certain things that they
have to be willing to work harder at" (Profile Essay). During my essay writing process, I could fix these problems easier in the body paragraphs and
struggle a bit more with the intro paragraph. Overall I think that the element of tone was not my best work in my
