What specifically do you hope to gain personally from experiencing life in another culture? 2. Personally, I plan on gaining a lot from experiencing life in another culture. I am excited to see how their community works as a whole in comparison to how Americans live. The United States' culture, values, and beliefs are not like any other country. We live a totally different lifestyle than most people all over the world; and I would like to experience it firsthand. To be able to live on another continent, in another country, living another culture-it will expose me to a new environment with new traditions. While I'm there, all I can do is learn, taking in every new experience, and realize there is more to living than the way I was taught in America. I love to learn and embrace new ideas; different cultures it has always fascinated me....

...Extracurricular activities can enhance a student’s school experience in many ways. Students have a variety of extracurricular activities to choose, from speech team to chorus to multiple sports for every season. This variety can benefit students immensely. According to the children's education company Scholastic, extracurriculars let your child enjoy himself in a fun, stress-free environment, get some exercise and make friends outside of school. For all the positive aspects, extracurricular activities can cause some problems for students. Some people think extracurricular can increases the chance of attending college. Most colleges now require extracurricular activities as a primary factor to be accepted in a particular university. If a student began engaging in an activity at an early age, it will help them get to college. With their learned responsibility, it will be easier for them to be focused and pursue what they want with universities as their stepping stone. However, balancing schoolwork with extracurricular activities can be stressful for some students, especially when an abundance of activities takes up valuable time they need to study or complete homework. They get tired because they have to apportion time of extracurricular activities with homework that they have to finish. So, the student can lose time to study and learning is affected because their tired. Extracurricular can keeps kids busy. For working parents who cannot be home when their children get out of...

...examined the effects of extracurricular activities intellectually, academically, physically, and socially. The goal is to show that these activities had a positive impact on students/adolescents. This had been done by searching different reference materials that would be essential for the study. Upon examining and reading all research materials, it becomes clear that extracurricular activities are really helpful for students’ betterment. This research highlights how such activities become so important for students /adolescents like me. Extracurricular Activities have several effects on students’ inter-personal, academic performance and educational attainment, physical, and social development, which make it to be important. The increasing importance of extracurricular activities is evidenced by a number of very definite facts: the amount of space given to the discussion of them in educational journal and magazines; the number of studies and experiments that are being made; the appearance of books in this field ( as what I saw when I searched for reference materials); the inclusion of extracurricular activities in the regular schedule of the school; the allowance of teacher’s time for directing them; and the equipments that is provided for them . However, how can these extracurricular activities affect students to be so important like this? Extracurricular Activities Greatly Help on Students’ Inter-personal Development According to Barnett (n.d.) extracurricular activities make students...

...STUDENT RESUME/ACTIVITY LIST A resume or list of extracurricular activities can go a long way with an admissions committee. Taking the time to add extra components to the application shows conscientious effort on the student's part to create the best possible impression. It is also impressive because it shows that a student is genuinely interested in the school. However, be sure to fill out the application entirely—use the resume to give a deeper picture of where your interests lie. This resume will also help to simplify and bring attention to your scholarship applications. Most students simply create chronological lists of their extracurricular accomplishments. Big mistake! This is a section where you can really set yourself apart from other applicants by employing a little strategy. Anyone can be a member of the Key Club, but not anyone can start an adult literacy program or become the assistant manager at Wayne's Weenie World. The key to making your extracurricular activities stand out within the limited space of the application form is to focus on leadership. But before you can do this, you first need to make a list of all your extracurricular activities, summer activities, and jobs. List everything big and small. Significant and insignificant. Don't forget that extracurricular activities include experiences like teaching all those hyper kids at Sunday School, whacking the ball around on the ping pong team, playing the triangle in band, leading a sit-in against...

...something beyond human. After his tape ran out Garson Poole felt an intense rush of emotion and feeling simultaneously, a literal, real, physical synesthesia; Garson Poole felt human for the first time. The details he sees, hears, tastes, smells, and touches are significant because they are what finally cause Poole to feel human. The tape filtered Garson's senses: he had one type of touch, one type of hearing, one type of sight, etc; when the tape ran out, the filter was removed, and Garson was able to experience the contrast of an unfiltered world. His statement, "I am living, I have lived, I will never live," can be interpreted as an allusion to "veni, vidi, vici" through the use of asyndeton. The Narrator describes what is happening to Poole's actual mechanical body as if it had no person relying on it, as something that is simply replaceable. After Poole discovered that he was indeed not a human, his quest was to get rid of his reality tape in order to have the "opportunity to experience everything. Simultaneously. To know the universe and its entirety, to be momentarily in contact with all reality. Something that no human can do" (Dick 236). Once Poole did cut the tape, although he had up to 40 minutes to put it back together, he choose to delay long enough so that when he looked into his chest he saw it was too late for him and came to the realization that it was going to be over finally. Dick then uses extensive imagery and metaphor usage with phrases like "the silky texture...

We are grateful to Status of Women Canada for funding this project and for the continued sponsorship of the Ontario Coalition of Rape Crisis Centres. We also thank the members of our Advisory Committee for pushing and challenging us throughout this project. We thank the women who facilitated focus groups and helped us contact the women in this study. Finally, this report would not be possible without the contributions of the women who told us about their experiences. © 2004 Centre for Research on Violence Against Women and Children ISBN# 0-9688655-3-4 1 “To understand violence, we have to examine both the personal experience and the terrain of that experience.” Dr. Yasmin Jiawani This report is built on the personal experiences of women who have experienced workplace harassment, but their stories are also about the “terrain” or the context of those experiences. In drawing out the commonalities of their experiences, we have begun to shed light on the terrain. We must transform the terrain if women are to have equality and safety in their workplaces. 2 We dedicate this report to Theresa Vince whose death in 1996 changed the views of many people in Ontario about sexual and workplace harassment. Her tragic and untimely death showed us that workplace harassment can no longer be easily dismissed as a trivial problem. Fundamentally, the goal of this report is to prevent any other woman from losing her ...

I believe my motivation to work mostly unsupervised and the innovative ideas I have applied to GCSS-J and other programs has established a trustworthiness of my character to TEP for my own task or a current one already contracted by the company. 2. I want to continue in enhancing data accessing or mining applications for the GCSS-J program, as well as mentor others in applying the same application to their programs. Leadership: 1. Since the trust of the company’s leadership has seen fit to place me in areas of greater responsibility, I want to continue with working with peers and mentoring less experienced associates, so the company may optimize my experience. Teamwork is an essential element in TASC’s service to our government. 2. With my seasoned experience in testing protocols and the research requirements prior to fielding, my valuable knowledge would be appropriately used in leading a program or assigned more involvement in mentoring others in preparation for testing, requirements during the testing, and standards for compiling testing data. Development: 1. I would like to continue my development at TASC by submitting a bid for a government project. In so doing, I would research, coordinate, and conduct all phases required to meet the contracted project. Concurrently, if the task requires additional personnel, I want to develop an environment of responsibility while leading the task with the core competencies of leadership...

...The article “Why We Travel” by Pico Iyer talks about his views and opinions on why people travel to foreign places and what they expect to gain from their trips. He also mentioned a few of his past experiences and his feelings based on his travelling days. Based on this article, we conclude that travelling is not only moving elsewhere other than our homes and coming back the same person. It changes a person’s perception of life in either positive or negative ways. Through his personal travels, he has highlighted travelling makes him sees in a different point of view in most of the countries like in Paris, Mickey Rourke was still known as the greatest actor since Jerry Lewis. I’m in a full agreement in his statement of his definition of the joy travelling as people have to be open minded to enjoy ourselves. An example which would be meeting and understanding the local trends like I did when I was in Japan. Their trending faster than Malaysia when I was there. Besides that, he brought up that travelling is a way to reverse time to a small extent, and make a day last a year. I also strongly support this as families tend to cram a bunch of activities all in a day because no one in this world wants to “waste time” but wanting to make use of the little time they have away from home. I have also experienced travelling and wanting to accomplish all the plans in a day as I was in Italy for 2 months of vacation but unfortunately did not manage to visit all the...

...1. I can identify almost all type of variables that could affect performances reviewing the two interviews. The way the candidates describe their experience shows off that they have , even if in different views, a role perception about the job. Furthermore, opposite motivations and aptitude to the work are remarked through their expectancies and behavioral strategies. They present skill levels depending on their carrier’s path . I think organizational (defining only the area) and the environmental factors relating to the job are missing. 2. In my opinion, Dag Wicklo (DW) has a better perception of the work is going to do because of his previous experience in this field as employee and his love for selling and speak with people. Katharine Bryant (KB) knows the specific technical language but she never work as sales in this particular field and maybe she doesn’t know or remember what does it means to work as employee instead of being an owner. For J.P. Reynolds I think a good variable for perception could be the accuracy in the way candidates see the job with all the pro and cons, so being experienced in this particular field matters. Within motivations I can see again a remarkable will to make money from DW and but I could not for KB. She doesn’t feel stimulate to gain money and this could affect her performance as well. The company’s point of view on motivations has to be in line with maximization of the opportunities. DW seems more willing to try to exploit his balance...

...“Plato does not value experience enough” Discuss (10) Plato was a philosopher and mathematician born in Greece. If someone does not value something, it suggests they do not believe in its worth, importance or usefulness. To begin with, Plato was not an empiricist; someone who believes that knowledge is derived from the experience of their senses. This was due to the fact that Plato believed in A prior knowledge; knowledge gained before experience. Plato believed that when we were born, our immortal soul already gained some sort of knowledge which we are able to use in this world. Therefore Plato does not value experience enough due to his beliefs. Furthermore, Plato understood that the world in which we live is the World of Appearances, where the objects in this life are just poor copies of their true forms in the Realm of Forms. We are deceived by our senses because they limit us to how much knowledge someone can have. For example, there is only so much that we can see from our eyes, which therefore limits our knowledge. On the other hand, pain can argue against this. If you were to hit your head on something quite hard, you will feel pain and come to understand this the world we live in is real and not an “appearance”, and the experience we get here is the only experience that exists. This illustrates that Plato did not value experience enough because he thought that our senses deceived us. Similarly, Plato argued that everything in this world, the World of Appearances...

...never experience writing to larn, not just to learn about a particular project but to learn about themselves, their values, their experiences, their environment. As teachers of composition, at some point in our careers we have undoubtedly experienced writing apprehension. We can understand why some develop an aversion to writing and would do almost anything to avoid it. WRITING APPREHENSION DEFINED the term as the tendency to experience high degrees of anxiety when asked to write, resulting in an approach-avoidance conflictive state which manifests itself in one’s behaviors, attitudes, and written products. Behaviors 1. They tend to select careers which they perceive to require little or no writing. 2. They tend to avoid courses and majors which require writing on a daily basis. 3. They write very little out of class. 4. They lack role models for writing at home, in school, and in the society at large. 5. They score lower on tests of verbal ability (SAT), reading comprehension, and standardized tests of writing ability used for college placement. 6. They do not necessarily lack motivation.

...In coming of age one is often burdened with independence, motivation and the uncertainty of the future. In my opinion, having to undergo these changes while juggling the rigorous demands of college academic’s frequently leads to the wrong decisions. What separates me from all the other potential candidates is that I have the independence, motivation and experience from the real world to apply myself fully at Carnegie-Melon University. In my experience from manufacturing with National Petroleum Product Company (NPPC) to banking with Qatar National Bank (QNB), leading to auditing with one of the big four firms; KPMG, I have had a wealth of exposure to the business world. I have undergone job experiences such as an apprenticeship at NPPC, which introduced me to the responsibilities and work ethic required to succeed. An Internship at QNB Capital which gave me the platform to develop a professional persona and understand the nuances of the business world, and lastly a rigorous 12 hour daily internship at KPMG which has taught me the skills to work and think both independently and as a valuable member of a team. These experiences all complement the diverse skill set that shaped my personality. I have volunteered in red-cross sponsored charity events and organized my own events (American School of Doha Talent Show, Pakistan Flood Relief Red Cross Charity Fundraiser). I find that one very useful skill in my repertoire...

...association of wisdom with age seemed reasonable. So why did it happen, and is it a legitimate and better direction to look for answers for the world's problems? There are good reasons for this change to have occurred, for simply growing older does not automatically ensure increasing wisdom, and crucially, for the vast majority of ordinary people, both their cultural and knowledge deprivation via misinformation from those in control could, and indeed, often did ossify their ideas into ever more conservative, pessimistic and unimaginative ways of thinking. Indeed, the experiences of the majority are rarely of increasing opportunities and success, and much more frequently, of repeated retreats and even defeats of their aspirations. Indeed, their sources of information are quite consciously arranged to have this effect, whether it be in education, news, or even in their entertainment. And apart from such personal experiences, it has also mattered greatly how many and how deep were the political defeats endured by working people throughout their lives. Sadly, events like the General Strike defeat of 1929 undermined the political confidence in a whole generation. Old age was directed into disillusionment, privileged service or even quiescence. By the time of my own first consciousness of the world (in the 1940s) my working class parents were (as I only discovered later) stuffed full of incorrect...
