...Terrific Tennis Incoming Having the opportunity to play for the Lake Forest tennis team was probably the best experience I could have ever had progressing into high school as a freshman. Meeting so many new freshmen and sophomores who share the same love for tennis was such a great way to make new friends to start out the school year with. Playing tennis with these newly made friends was so much fun, and doing it everyday helped me improve on my game as well. It also helped me build confidence socially. Being able to talk to the four sophomores on the team really helped me establish a good perspective on what the high school was going to be like, and learn that it is not as scary as it is made out to be. Tryouts were the hardest part of the whole process. They started bright and early at eight am and went till eleven. It was so early when you arrived, that it was actually cold outside for the first half hour or so. The first hour was all conditioning which included running a mile, running the bleachers, footwork, core work, and or leg work. Then the next two hours were actual playing time. Both of these things were quite brutal considering we were all doing this under the beaming hot sun, but it helped having a bunch of nice faces cheering you on while doing everything. I arrived each day sore...

...The ongoing attention of locating a product that will brighten my teeth resulted in the pursuit for toothpaste that will whiten teeth, fight cavities and tackle bad breathe. The importance for me to have white teeth will not repair my life, cause me to be a different person, or earn me a certificate. The truth of the matter is it will not restrict me from purchasing items that will provide whiting for my teeth. In my adult life, thinking about oral hygiene is essential first and foremost, because of my involvement with the public. I marveled at the arrival of 3D Crest white toothpaste commercials and wondered about the opinions of others that used. The commercial of a performer who has been informed by the manager of her recent tryout and the necessity to no longer use caffeine, red wine and sugar for a couple of weeks to allow teeth to whiten for the audition. The entertainer grins while bouncing her head, agreeing with the representative. The picture displays to the performer the harm that consuming caffeine, red wine and in taking sweets can cause, but using Crest 3D can repair the damages. The last copy demonstrates to the performer a sparkling snowy grin as the manager responds, “Look, at that,” the lady shaking her head. An up to date edition has similar performers being advised by associates that they will refer them to other dentists, but continuing to avoid the foods mentioned earlier in the conversation to whiten the teeth. The ladies in agreement shaking...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study In any educational system there are three primary aspects of the learning-teaching process which are geared towards its end goal- that of growth and progress in knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes of the students. First, educational goals are established either implicitly or explicitly. Secondly, learning experiences are designed to carry out the attainment of the goals. Finally, an evaluation is conducted to determine the extent to which the objectives have been established. This evaluation aspect has become the focus of study in the educational field. Evaluation involves the summing-up processes in which value judgments play a large part, as in grading and promoting students. Most educators considered that a school’s main business is promoting growth towards desirable and societal objectives; fewer agree on who should judge the desirability of these objectives. However, since all schools focus on student progress as the ultimate criterion, it is important to evaluate the status and gains of students expertly. If our evaluation procedures are poor, then the quality of the information on which we make judgments can not be adequate. Measurement and evaluation are indispensable to the growth of scientific education. They encompass judgments made by teachers and administrators. An important phase of this educational process involves the construction, administration, and scoring of tests. Before it is possible...

...life. My father coached my sister and I throughout our childhood and well into our teenage years. After constant exposure to football and basketball through television, I decided to tackle those challenges as well. Unfortunately, there is far less coverage of soccer than other athletics in the media, therefore, joining a team never crossed my mind. It was not until a friend recommended me to join his team when I was about 14 years old, did I consider the sport. I quickly fell in love with the strategic and strenuous sport. As expected when trying something new for the first time, I was atrocious. Every other teammate was approaching a decade of practicing and playing soccer, compared to my few moments, which was reflected in the team’s tryouts. For reason I do not understand, the head coach saw potential in me and I was accepted onto the team...

...a honorable student. I have perseverance. During Varsity soccer tryouts this past year my self confidence was tested. Unfortunately, I found it was a struggle to make the Varsity team. I thought about quitting because I did not like the uncertainty and the feelings of insecurity that arose because of the situation. Sometimes people feel it is easier to quit than to push forward but I “pushed on”. In the end, I did make the Varsity team. I did not take the easy way out when soccer became...

...Groups and Teams Before taking this course the student always thought groups and teams were the same, but she has realized even though, these two terms do have some similarities they also have some differences. In this paper the student will explain the differences between groups and teams, examine the importance of workplace diversity in an organization, and how it relates to team dynamics in the workplace. A work group is a collection of people working in similar areas and placed together to complete a task. Groups performance is the outcome of people coming together to share information views and insights. Members of groups have a mutual purpose. As members gather together, each brings a different personal perspective and style to the table. As the members share information, they begin the decision-making processes that help each member perform his or her particular responsibility. The two main types of groups are formal groups and informal groups. A formal group is designed around an organizations formal structure. An informal group is not structured and is normally formed out of a social need (Schermerhorn Jr, Hunt, & Osborn, 2008). (Good ) Teams are groups, but teams are a distinct separation of groups. A team is a reduced number of people with corresponding skills and committed to a common purpose, a set of performance goals and an approach for which they hold themselves accountable. (Good) Teams start out as groups; (Always???) they share some of the same beginning...

...education is the priority. In the collegiate model of sports, the young men and women competing on the field or court are students first, athletes second.” In general, amateurism requirements do not allow: “Contracts with professional teams, salary for participating in athletics, prize money above actual and necessary expenses, play with professionals, tryouts, practice or competition with a professional team, benefits from an agent or prospective agent, agreement to be represented by an agent, or delayed initial full-time collegiate enrollment to participate in organized sports competition.” The NCAA bylaws also prohibit players from receiving any portion of the revenue produced by the televised games. Thus, most of the revenue generated by collegiate athletes goes to the NCAA, conferences, schools, and coaches. Participating in college sports is rooted in a basic, deeply American concept: work hard, make sacrifices, and get something extremely valuable — an education at an elite American university, something most families save for a lifetime to attain. The recent push to pay college athletes ignores the importance of the education that they receive. “Ask any non-athletic college student how much money they have taken on in student loans. These athletes are making $100,000 plus in tuition plus food and board that they would be having to pay if not for athletics. Everyone’s career ends at some point and because of the education that college athletes receive they will...

...feeling as though my life was a total lie. Of course, I had to make people think I was happy, especially my parents; I played this role quite well. As Gonzalez (2012) states, “... Exposure to physical abuse in childhood [is] associated with increased risk of depression.” This was definitely a risk factor I would soon experience. Luckily for myself, I was born with elite athletic skills. Since a very young age, I was active in multiple sports whether it was running, cycling, figure skating, baseball, soccer, swimming, and hockey. One day, I decided I no longer wanted to continue with figure skating and had the choice to switch to either hockey or ringette—I chose hockey. I spent my free time training, and competing in games, tournaments, and tryouts. I excelled at this game to the point where I had prospects and scholarship offers; although, at this point I was only in high school so I simply had a couple years before this could become reality. Participating in sports allowed me to escape my past and in turn, promoted resilience. Goldstein (2013) explains, “Childhood maltreatment is a risk factor for negative outcomes [including] the development of substance abuse and dependence.” Had I not participated in these social activities, I could have turned to drugs, alcohol, and sex. Life seemed bearable. I was clever in school, and hockey skills were elite. I had hardly any time to think about my past... that is until I received a severe traumatic brain injury (concussion) during one of...

...Both of these organizations’ recommendations include the use of Chlorhexidine Gluconate oral rinse to prevent bacterial colonization in the oral cavity, and decreasing the accumulation of microorganisms in secretions. Chlorhexidine has been found to have broad spectrum, bacteriostatic and bacteriocidal properties (Andrew J. Mcbain, Robert G, Bartolo, Carl E. Catreniche, Duane Charbonneu, Ruth G, Ledder, and Peter Gilbert, 2003). As of 2003, the Center for Disease Control has yet to make recommendations on the use of Chlorhexidine oral mouthwash for VAP prevention. Which leads to the question: Is the use of oral Chlorhexidine for the prevention of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia effective and worth implementing? This topic is of extreme importance for the Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (ACNP), because proper VAP prevention will lead to better outcomes of an already health fragile population. Depending on the work setting, ACNP are responsible for ordering interventions to be carried out for the patients. It is important the ACNP are familiar with what the current VAP prevention strategies entail, and why they should be prescribed, as well as the supporting evidence for these recommendations. The purpose of this search to determine the extent of evidence available to support the use of oral care with chlorhexidine as an adjunct to VAP prevention strategies. Keywords used during the search were: Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Prevention; Chlorhexidine for VAP prevention; and Oral...

...students the reality about working. Students should not take OJT for granted because if you will get a high evaluation grade, your employer might hire you when you graduate. Your background OJT is very important when applying for a job. Oftentimes, employers will ask you the relevance of your training to your course and to the position you are applying for. It will be your training ground. If you still have no idea on what is meant to be a worker, OJT will give a hint of career realities. Your OJT superior might as well recommend your skills to other companies whom he knows. It will give you a sense of confidence that you can use when applying for a job after graduation and also help you to make career choices. Students should realize the importance of OJT on their future career. Having a good performance during OJT is very important especially now that there's a tight competition towards job seekers and the high qualification of companies.

She enjoyed the kids and being an inspiration for them but she just felt like her full potential was not being expressed by being a teacher. So, she decided to apply for a position as principal for a new elementary school that was being built next year. She was a business major in college but had very little experience actually being in a manager position. The best thing she said she had ever done was read, literally. She has a whole book shelf full of leadership books and books on how to be a principal. She went into the interview room scared because it...
