Recommended: Tardiness in relation to the academic performance

Responsibility: 9/10
My attendance in high school was not as high as my teachers may have wanted it to be. I found myself yearning for more and finishing my work too quickly. When I went I tried to soak up as much as I could but it wasn’t really until my college courses that I found that knowledge I wanted and regained a strong desire to attend class. While I have never missed classes unless terribly sick, I have been tardy a handful of times. Since honestly is the best policy I cannot fail to ignore that. Sometimes I was not on time due to work other times I simply left the house later than I expected to. It was not enough times to cause a problem, but it definitely has made me more aware of my punctuality.
As for work ethic I would rate myself exceptionally high. I put in 120% to everything I do and always turn assignments in on time if not early. I am very independent and self motivated. My work ethic and my organization go hand in hand. If I do not keep everything in order I’ll miss due dates and not manage my time well, but I’d say for managing 17+ credits a term, 30 or more hours of work, practicum, and homework I do a pretty great job. …show more content…

Teaching for all types of various students with different multiple intelligences doesn’t scare me. I know it will be hard and a lot of work, but I want it. I am so passionate about becoming a teacher because I want to help students find that spark of learning where they can’t stop and want to continuously discover. The hard times that I had as a student have ready made me want to create enthusiastic confident learners because I believe if students do not have those qualities they will be simply taught rather than be active learners. Ralph Waldo Emerson said one of my favorite quotes. He stated, “nothing great was ever achieved without

    Punctuality is another thing that I have learned in NJROTC, but with much hard work did I learn this. We all know that we slip up sometimes and slag around from class to class. Because of this we make ourselves late sometimes, and no one wants to get a tardy, so our instructors offer a healthy alternative. If you are late to class then you have the option of doing push-ups or getting a tardy, now witch would you rather do? Not only does this punishment instill punctuality, but if you are hard headed you can build up incredible upper body strength. Being punctual to a job will allow me to keep it and also impress my bosses.

    I am determined to have a perfect attendance when it comes to my college classes. Keeping a balanced attendance allows me to be up to date with assignments and set an excellent example of myself. Participating in class activities like writing on the board or reading aloud examples, was not my one of my biggest strong suits. Although I spoke out in my assigned groups, which brought a lot more attention to myself, I did not openly speak out in front of the whole class and volunteer myself. This is a certain area that I need to improve on. Although I did not speak out as openly as I should, I always came fully prepared. Being prepared and organized helped keep everything I needed together so I could perform at my fullest potential. In addition, I made sure to create reminders on my phone notifying what I would need, when to work on a certain assignment for the class, and especially for my conferences with Dr. Kennedy (refer to page 3). For my future classes, I will continue to have perfect attendance, be organized, and practice my writing. In time, I will become better at speaking out in

  • Exploring Personal Values: Respect, Responsibility, Understanding

    777 Words  | 2 Pages

    Axiology is the study of the Nature of Values. As an Existentialist I believe that a person’s choices are what creates the human being. As I am a military child, I have had a very strict life. While most of the values I learned were from my home life, school and other sources backed these values up. I will focus on my top three values which are respect, responsibility, and understanding. The others that will guide my practice are discipline, trying your best, kindness, and commitment. The first value that came to my mind was respect. Respect is very important because you must earn others respect and vice versa. I learned this, first, through my home, by respecting my parent’s wishes, even if it was not something I agreed with. Thus in turn,

    Personal responsibility is the idea that people have full control over their actions. Things like basic health and hygiene can be seen as personal responsibility because they are actions that are carried out independently. In my life, I don’t have to shoulder responsibilities all by myself because my sister helps me balance things out. Although I am still solely responsible for the outcome of my decisions, it is easier for me to act reasonable with help by my side. Personal responsibility to me is the act of taking care of yourself while owning up to any mistakes you made.

    The world we live in today is far from perfect. Hearing about murder and violence is something we have all become, accustom to but does that make it right? Absolutely not. Media has influenced an affected a key value of human beings and that value is integrity. The value of integrity is severely lacking and society needs to reestablish the ability to look beyond race, gender, and sexuality. I have seen on multiple occasions’ individuals jumping to conclusions or judging someone simply off the way they look or dress. This has been an issue I have witnessed throughout my high school career and in my everyday routine; media is a large contribution and something needs to be done.

  • Importance Of Truth Essay

    1222 Words  | 3 Pages

    The importance of truth, or lack thereof, is an important issue that comes into play with everyone’s life and their moral values. In their lifetime, everyone expresses opinions on matters that they feel strongly about. When they do so, they do it with what they feel is up to their moral standards; truth is not always prevalent in these standards. While some believe truth to be of no importance in these statements, others believe the contrary. When a piece of news or a person is talked about by others with statements of truth, the subject’s reputation is never tarnished unjustly. However, when spoken of spuriously, the subject can fall victim to unmerited smear. Today, there are more methods one might use to promote the spread of false

  • Individual Reflection: Big Five Personality Test

    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.

    Teachers will not be interrupted in the middle of lecture for the most common reason, which the student couldn’t find parking, and students wouldn’t have to miss part of their lecture and fail the course for being late all the time, and if this being than the college would have more graduates by the end of each 2 years, sounds odd, but when thought about, if a student is constantly late for class most teachers take down points which affects the students grades, A lot goes on at the start of class and if a student misses that, then it also affects the grade. Anything that affects a grade can hold a student back a for year or may have them repeat the course, now this isn’t the main cause of students failing classes but tardiness is one of the causes that is preventable. According to Spencer Havlick and Will Toor in some colleges attendance is crucial, “Students must be in attendance at least eighty (80%) percent of the clock hours of a course to receive credit for the course. Those who do not meet minimum attendance requirements will be given the grade of “F”, which will be computed in the students’ grade point average as a failing grade (Havlick and Toor).” Being late to class one time is no big deal and not noticeable, but when it is constant than it becomes

  • Reflective Essay On Accountability

    At the beginning of the semester stated that accountability is one area in life I need to further develop. As I look back and truly think about the meaning of accountability I realize that I have grown in this area. However, there is always room for improvement and I think the next step in my journey in becoming a great therapist would be learning about professional duty. Learning how to be a professional in this role meaning stepping out into the clinic and take on that role, which will happen in a few years, but I can still brush up and learn about how I can prepare myself for that role. I believe my strengths are compassion caring, integrity, social responsibility as well as some accountability, but I know that from these I still need to

  • Narrative Essay On Becoming A Teacher

    992 Words  | 2 Pages

    As we reminisce and reflect back either on our childhood or academic career, we tend to have that one teacher who was memorable to us in some way - for their sense of humor, their stellar personality, or perhaps having that charisma and charm no other teacher had to make a difficult subject and it 's concepts fun to learn. While knowledge is power, I firmly believe that it is rather the exchange and distribution of knowledge that is power. When one can educate the masses there is no doubt that together we can accomplish great things. Becoming a teacher would mean the opportunity to be able to witness the shaping and molding of the minds of the future generations and the satisfaction knowing that you have helped your students set themselves onto the right path and provide guidance towards the creation of a better tomorrow. Choosing to become a teacher will allow me not only to educate my students, but also educate myself to be a better teacher throughout my career. I believe it is a function of human nature to want to change the world for the better. In adulthood, I have learned that the improvement of the welfare of the world must begin with
