Reflection Paper On Asb
The last time I was deeply disappointed in myself was in eighth grade. I decided to try to be accepted into ASB again. ASB, the Associated Student Body of CDM, was the mastermind of almost all activities that occurred on campus. The last time I tried out for this organization was during sixth grade, and I had been rejected. However, this time, I was more confident. I came to school, and I immediately started walking toward my locker, which was near the ASB room. As I was walking, I saw a paper messily taped to the dark blue door of the ASB room. I was certain it had to be the list of people who made ASB. Nervousness started creeping up my spine like a snake; however, I was wrong. It wasn’t a so-called “cut” list; it was just the schedule for when the …show more content…
My body, acting on its own, stumbled up to the door of the ASB room; all I had on my mind was the interview. I noticed the interview schedule still taped to the door. I put my hand on the warm, metal handle of the door, clenched the handle like it was a million dollars in cash, and pulled. After about 15 minutes of asking me questions, Mr. Almquist said that he would post the list of those who made it on the ASB room’s door in two days. Then, he said that I could go to break. When I left, I found my friends and told them that my interview had gone well. I was relieved that I had gotten this anxiety for the interview off my shoulders, since it had been haunting me for days. Now came the excruciating pain of waiting to see who would be accepted, and who would be rejected. The day had come. I hastily rushed to the ASB room after taking one step on campus. I walked to the door, and saw the four names on the list. I did not find my name. I had not made it, once again. Not once, but twice had the people at ASB told me that I wasn’t good enough to be a part of their group. My friend, who had been accepted, told me, “It’s alright. Maybe ASB just isn’t for

    The interview that I conduct was on Tuesday (6/20/17) at 1:10.p.m. in Vidant Bertie Hospital in the lab with Mrs. Twil Roberson. Mrs. Roberson is a medical lab technician and a phlebotomist for a few years at Vidant Bertie. The reason why I have chosen Mrs.Twil Roberson is being that she was more than willing to help, full of energy, and have plenty of knowledge behind her field of chosen. Also, since there are not many African American in her field, therefore, she is one of the older African American women that became a part of the laboratory and the medical department.…

    Banks asked closed questions, searching for short answers for question pertaining his condition (ex. Curability of his disease, length of remaining lifespan), while Ellison asked open questions, attempting to collect thoughts from his patient to provide the appropriate therapeutic and medical care. The encounter also followed the phases of an interview, beginning in the preparation phase. As he sat in the waiting room, Banks seemed to be dreading the diagnosis; being a hypochondriac, he expected the worst. In the initiation phase Ellison made first contact by asking Banks about his current health state, and a little bit of background information. In the exploration phase Ellison informs Banks of his condition a prediction of what his immediate future holds. In the termination phase Banks asks about what his next move should be, to which Ellison closes the interview with a final piece of advice.…

    Throughout my four years of high school, I have consistently pushed myself beyond my limits and comfort zones in attempt to discover my place in the world. I spent most of first two years discovering who I was as an individual, ultimately manifesting into inspiration for success. I grew out of “fitting in” and decided to turn my life and aspirations towards a greater direction; on this road of discovery, I separated myself from those who valued arrogance and indifference. “Nerd Squad” is what I am a part of today, which is why I am currently confident enough to apply for the National Honors Society Scholarship. I believe I have grown into a tenacious, sympathetic, and joyous young man that the entire school has seen develop, and I am honored…

    One day, during this month of May, I myself was going on this trip to orientation. As I waited in the lobby of the Ferg, I was called into my small group session, it happened that in my group were seven other students who were all joined together by the number on our name tags, two.

    I needed to make sure that no one else would have to feel what I had felt -- like I didn’t belong or that I wasn’t good enough. I decided to start an ASB at La Cumbre to encourage students to go for something that might be out of their comfort zone. Over the summer, I shared my ideas with the principal at La Cumbre about how we could make the school even better ; she was on board with it all.…

How could I, someone so introverted, so shy, possibly think accepting a job in customer service was a good idea?…

    It was always a dream of mine to be the VP of Juniors for Midwest NCSY ever since 7th grade. I wanted to take my love and devotion and bring it to the table to make Junior NCSY better than it ever was. In order to get the position that I wanted I had to be voted by the people, and give a speech. I had stage fright and was terrified to speak, but I pushed myself and did it anyways. After so many years of hard work, so much time preparing, I didn’t get the position I so much desired. Immediately I was surrounded by my friends, and I ran out of the room. Through the tears running down my face I told my chapter director that this wasn't it for me, that I will still get up there and I will run again next year, because I will not give this one up. Of course, I will try again, but this time I will succeed. This year I serve as Midwest NCSY’s VP of Juniors as well as am the President of my chapter. “If you don’t succeed try try again.” The classic middle school picker up-er, that really defines me. Throughout my life there have been times where people doubted my far fetched dreams but I ignored what they said and reached for the stars anyways. This “flaw” to me isnt really a flaw at all, to other people maybe, but to me it's what's gotten me as far as I am…

    Mr. Garza laughed and said, “ Now that I’m a physical therapist I feel that I am a very strong writer and I tend to do my best work under pressure (last minute) but this wasn’t always the case because as a high school student and a college student I dreaded writing and I wasn’t very good at it, but going through the years, college shaped and trained me to be a better writer than I was.” I sat there in shock because of how he just explained to me that he worked better under pressure. After he saw my face reaction, he explained to me that it only works for some people so if you do not work good under pressure he advised me not to do it, that’s just how he would get his writing assignments…

    The moment I first received my invitation to Saturday Scholars is one I remember vividly; similar to when one wakes from a lurid dream. My mother had examined the mail, and discovered there was a letter from Triad High School addressed to me. Like all students who receive a letter from their school, I was initially terrified, but I dug deep down inside on myself and worked up the courage to open the letter. It turned out my apprehension was unwarranted, because the letter was positive, and it invited me to this program called “Saturday Scholars.” At the time, I did not have the slightest clue of what Saturday Scholars actually was or did, but after reading the included pamphlet, I decided I liked the sound of it. I promptly filled out the signed…

    I walked into school for the first time as a freshmen and was instantly lost, and not just in the directional sense. In that moment everything that my counselor had told my class came back to me. SAT’s, ACT’s, and AP’s were all random assortments of letters whose spelled-out versions were as foreign to me as the dates that I had to take the actual tests. If someone had told me I had to take my ABC diagnostic exam the next day, you would’ve found me at my dinner table studying that night. I was afraid I would be this lost for the entire year, except I had forgotten that I had accepted an invitation to a new program called the Distinguished Scholars Academy (DSA).…

    My first few days at Smith Elementary were rough. I didn’t know anyone and I didn’t know my surroundings. After a year of being at Oakwood I was familiar with the school and town. But I still felt out of place. I made friends but I didn’t make any strong connections with anyone. As the years went on I moved from group to group. Once Junior High started I was lonely. I had tried the cliques, gotten in trouble because of them; and I was still alone. That year was full of nights with tears. When my brother left for college at the end of my 7th grade year I was devastated. He was my best friend. How was I suppose to last without him? Well truth be told, I didn’t. My grades began slipping; I went from being a straight A student to B’s and C’s. Along with that I began lying frequently and getting in trouble. I was lost and confused. Being…
