believe in my potential to create positive change in the world, and that cultivate my desire to help people on a global level. My upbringing was the genesis of my ambition, but the growth of my specific interest in political science stems from my experience as a translator in Honduras. Until then, I was I didn’t realize how much power one’s voice carries. Without the power to speak out, people are defenseless, and as Euripides described, “It is slavery, not to speak one’s thoughts”. The people of rural…

The focus of my educational experience is at the middle school, sixth through eighth grade level. I chose this level because I feel that these are very impressionable years for our youth in today’s society. The typical age group during this time period ranges from 10 years old to 13 years old, and this is when most children start to form their own identities as they begin the transition from adolescents onto teenagers. This is also when they begin to experience a great deal of peer pressure and…
from our environment. Behaviorism is ideal with in what ways environmental influences stimuli affect apparent behavior which is the reaction. Behaviorist tactic suggests two key methods whereby individuals learn from their environment: namely classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Classical Conditioning was studied by the Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov.

What is a Learning Experience? posted Jan 5, 2011, 4:37 AM by Shane Gallagher When I think about “Learning Experiences,” I think of every situation someone finds themselves in as a learning experience. People have not traditionally used that phrase in relating to more formal learning interventions – i.e. classroom, but from a learner’s perspective, both formally and informally, that’s exactly what is happening: learners are experiencing something that, hopefully, results in a change in thinking,…
Learning Experience During our training at Balik-Manggagawa, I learned a lot of things such as interacting with other people. We know that people have different characteristics and attitudes, however, making friends with them is not that difficult. I learned to build on my competence, professionalism in dealing with people, discipline and ability to communicate with people. I gained self-confidence and maturity which are needed in the work and acquired the ability to work harmoniously with employers…
In life we encounter many positive and negative experiences. Both help to mould and shape the people we are, and the person we ultimately will become. In this essay I will discuss significant learning experiences that were important to me, and how they affected me. The first learning experience I will discuss is something that I find I use every day. One day I sat in class discouraged about numerous assignments, projects, and tests that were due soon. I found myself overwhelmed and frustrated…
Every day we encounter experiences that help shape who we will one day become. Whether the events turn out to be good or bad, they ultimately leave a dent in our lives. One particular experience from my past has definably outlined part of who I am today. Ironically, I consider this event to be the best and worst learning experience of my entire life so far. “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney…
My worst and best learning experience goes back to 2005, when I was attending an FCE course. It actually started from day one, when our teacher walked in and he didn’t say a word. He spent the first few minutes going through the course book, and then he started mumbling for a while. I could sense that he was rather a bit upset. The classroom was almost full and everyone was very excited, and eager to start immediately. However, Mr. X was in no hurry at all, it was like we didn’t exist. While he…
When I applied for my first job at Leslie’s Pool Supplies, I thought it was going to be just a summer job. Instead, it turns out, after a year and a half I am stilled employed. My goal was to make some extra cash for the summer, but instead I have made a good amount of money and I have also acquired many life long skills. I have learned so much about the variety of people that come to shop at a pool store. Most people are nice because they rely on me to get their pool back into balance. They normally…
