I can handle being an Acumen editor because I have experience in an editorial position and also in design. During the 2016-2017 school year, I held an editorial position and was responsible for helping fellow reporters with their writing. The Acumen allows for editors to design with more free reign than some of the Hilite. I have a background in design, I have designed for the Acumen in the past and I am currently a part of the design team for the Acumen, as well. These experiences, I believe, have prepared me to take on this responsibility. I would rate my organizational skills as a 9. I would say this because if I am not organized my tasks won’t be completed on time or to the best of my ability. Organization is important to me because it …show more content…
As I said in previous years, I want to make sure that everyone’s voice is heard. As it will be my last year on staff, I want to leave a lasting impression. I hope that future reporters after me, will want to continue to be a part of this award-winning program, it has opened up my eyes to all of the people that attend CHS and what stories they have that are waiting to be told. I believe I should be chosen for this position because I wish to bring a new outlook on CHS to members of this staff. If I do not receive the Acumen editorial position, I would want to be a TOC/JAM/Front page editor because I have started to gain an interest in graphics this year and I would like to experiment with new ways of making sure that communication will be the most important factor in that job. If I were to receive a TOC/JAM/Front editor I would work with photographers when selecting TOC photos and set restrictions on the photo gathering process. I am willing to be a productive part of the newspaper staff, because I was originally a reporter when I applied my freshman year and this position has helped me to gain new experiences on staff as well. I also would want to help newer reporters transition into their position on staff and to help them find their niche within the
“I would like to thank everyone involved in this conference, and the organizers in particular, for inviting me to deliver this talk. I am very obviously an outsider and wish to come to this group to talk about something that is central to all work that you people are doing.”
I have met the goals outlined because of my continuous diligence and exceptional performance throughout the year. I have, in my humble opinion, exceeded the substantial qualifications for teaching, service and research as set forth by my Faculty Assignment Document. I am pleased to be part of the West Virginia University Extension Service and was honored to receive the 2013 WVSE4-HA and NAE4-HA North East awards for Urban Programming for an individual. As 2013 comes to a close, I am proud of my excellent accomplishments and quality contributions to 4-H and look forward to creating additional programming for youth in West Virginia.
War has a definite effect on the mentality of a soldier, so much so that many result in insanity during or after the leave of combat. Timothy Findley’s The Wars, portrays the “stupidity, futility and the horror of the terrible losses of the First World War, describing war as an image of the worst that can be within a man” (Anne Nothof Interview). Findley portrays mental aspects as well as physical, that lead to Robert Ross’ demises, specifically, the conditions of war, overall aspect of war taking someone’s life and the feeling of loneliness and silence.
Edward Estlin Cummings, abbreviated to E. E. Cummings, although he was more popularly known in all lowercase letters as e. e. cummings, was an admirably influential American poet, author, playwright, and essayist. His renowned experimentation with poetic form and language in order to create his own personal style is his most prominent accomplishment. Often, he revamped and combined words to create new ones of his own style and in his own likeness. Cummings also bent grammatical and linguistic rules to accomplish his own purposes; he incorporated the usage of words like “if” and “because” as nouns, something odd and unheard of in his time period. He was first sneered at, jeering faces refusing to accept his twisted style as poetry, but quickly his work rose to such a revered status that it shone alongside the ubiquitous writings of the great Robert Frost. The entire collection of Cummings work includes a huge number of approximately 2900 poems, as well as several novels, and countless diary entries of eloquence and skill from even the earliest years of his childhood. E. E. Cummings was, in truth, a genius, for he spent his time inventing new ways of arranging poetry in certain line types, intercepting idea with parentheses and writing backwards and in spiraling loops to emphasize his intricately concealed main points. In his time, this was extremely uncouth and unheard of, and as he steadily grew to become a famous name worldwide, more wanted to read his works. The underlying meanings in his poems were so obscure, it was hard to see past them the very first time one laid eyes on them, as it was to see past the psychical barriers E. E. Cummings hid behind when in public, and sometimes even with those he truly cared about. This sec...
I am greatly honored to have been recommended to join NJHS. All of the traits of NJHS I have always stood for and represented.
Segregation in educational institutions taking place in the United States is not often talked about. People may consider apartheid schooling taking place presently to a nation that does not respect basic human rights. Thus, the injustices taking place in public schools are not easily classified because it is commonplace to many. It can be argued that apartheid schooling was never completely dismantled in the United States. Jonathan Kozol’s book The Shame of the Nation (2005) provides evidence and insight to apartheid within the educational system that children are currently experiencing. The structure in children’s curriculum, the way they are spoken to as well as the funding public schools are funded are examples to the inequalities that children face. Conceptually, structural violence is what keeps educational injustices to recur.
I hope to impact this professional with my knowledge and expertise. I am now in school again to further my knowledge of this profession. It may seem old for some. However, for me learning has no age and boundaries as I continued to gain more knowledge and perhaps someday I can be a mentor for my peers. I hope to someday work In Risk management where I can continue to fight and argue the rights of my patients and peers whom all deserve a sense of dignity and self-worth. My contribution to this profession includes providing and promoting care with a holistic approach that is inclusive of the mind, body, spiritual belief practices because the patients I see as being more than just another patient in need of my care. The patients are like you and I and perhaps wants the same as I want for them. I’m sure with my great sense of enthusiasm that I may accomplish something here because my day will never end until I make an unmistakable stamp on a profession I always wanted to practice since that little girl whose heart was touched by the many caring professionals that provided care to my mom. Sound like I’m on a mission that indeed I
One can also choose his role according to his area of interest like novels, poetry, textbooks, non-fiction, news etc. Though there are many jobs related to this industries starting from editing, photography, sales & marketing, production etc. but the editing job is really challenging and attractive. Most people become professional editors because they enjoy finding just the right word to convey a message, making sense of a complicated piece of information in a simpler way and manipulating in text until it flows flawlessly. They have a passion to make the thing mistake proof and logical.
The main reason I wanted to make a speech was to personally say thank you to some very special people who have contributed to today:
This article focuses on research that reveals the de-professionalization and democratization of traditional journalism. The article explores the consequences of both the relation between traditional journalism and citizen journalism. The author argues that the emergence of citizen journalism is a consequence of the current factors effecting the changes in traditional journalism. The lines between professional journalism content and amateur journalism content have become blurred. The author explains how these factors have shown to affect the field of journalism in areas of employment, media technologies, shifting patterns of media use, and media consumption.
2) On Conscientiousness, I rank very high – 86%. I also agree with this placement. I am well-organized and reliable. I feel that this part of my personality weighs down my openness to new experiences above. I’m very careful and calculated, taking care to get things right. 3) In Extraversion I ranked very low at just 7 percent. This is probably an accurate depiction, but if you asked most people who know me they wouldn’t rank me that low. I am a quiet, thoughtful person and I prefer small groups to large crowds. I am perfectly happy spending quiet time on my own. I actually work very hard at being more outgoing and forcing myself to talk to people in social situations where I would feel more comfortable melding into the background.
... I needed improvement was my time management (2/10) But I would have never thought that my actions were causing my time management to be this bad. But to be truthful I do get sidetracked rather easily when I tell myself that I will be doing this one specific thing and then think “oh I’ll do this other thing and then get right back to it” which is never a good idea. But I didn’t know how much in fact these sidetracks were hurting me in my time management. My next two assessments show my preferences for organizational structure (69) and organizational culture (The Academy). Both of these results speak to a more so mechanically designed structure just like how we have it in the military and the culture speaks to how I value a culture in which is long term and you advance based on your functional expertise that is increased through career development and training.
Hi, my name is Pat and I would like to start today by thanking the seniors of 2012 for choosing me to speak today. It is truly my honor.
Growing up learning and speaking English has been something that was difficult for me at first but then came easy, but that was not the case for my mother. She spent her whole life speaking Spanish, so when she decided to take English learning classes it was challenging. However, she had me to help her throughout her struggle. I helped her complete her homework and assignments. We would also go to the library to check out easy level reading books to have her read to me. I would correct her English when it was wrong and do all I could to boost her confidence. It took me a while to understand and figure out what the best way to teach her was, but it was a fun experience for the both of us. Teaching her English was difficult because things that
If you have an interest in writing whether it be nonfiction or a sports editor journalism is the job to do. Science writer, publisher, copy editor, film critic, and reporter are just a few types of journalism (Burns 1). According to Jennifer Burns, in her book Career Opportunities in Journalism she said Reporters make anywhere from $20,000 to $60,000 a year.
