In my college courses, I have gained reliable skills that will benefit me for life. Military science has provided leadership and development services in working as a team to accomplish a common goal. Technical writing has helped in effective and proper written communication. Biological and general statistics has enhanced my logistic outlook and critical thinking skills in dealing with set tasks. Beyond the Discipline Time management is a major skill experienced within several of academic courses by using time wisely for assignments, tests, and class projects. As a pre-medicine biomedical science major, I believe that the physical and mental health in a person is very important for overall wellbeing and success. In my classes I have found it beneficial to use networking skills to efficiently communicate and work with people with the same interests and career goals. Beyond Academics Meeting new people has showed me how to be an open minded person. Each individual has their own story and is unique in their own way. Just because they believe in something, does not have the same mind set, or live differently than you do does not mean they should be judged. With becoming an understanding person, this has contributed to better my professionalism when dealing with different situations. Interconnectedness The qualities and knowledge presented above in Within the Discipline, Beyond the Discipline, and Beyond Academics are used daily in the position as a Residential Leader (RL). I realize that working in a team, working in a timely manner, communicating efficiently, and being able to think on my feet has helped in my success as an RL. Being an RL, I had to learn to keep myself mentally and physically prepared for any kind of situation. Not only have I become an open minded and considerate person, but with these experiences I have improved as a professional operative no matter what the circumstances. Global Awareness In the RL position I have met many international and foreign exchange students. They have provided me with better insight of culture, politics, and the American lifestyle. Many of them believe in the United States as the land of opportunity, in comparison to some of the strict cultures in the world where they do not have that kind of freedom. I have also concluded that Americans are not as considerate of a countrys culture, not like a foreign traveler visiting the United States. International students try their best to fit in to the community and learn as much as they can about the American life style. On the other hand, it disappoints me that many Americans that travel to a foreign country do not do that same. Broader Implications Through my experience as an RL I have noticed a lot of hidden characteristics of society. I have realized several people on campus belong to the LGBT community. The increase in this area has made me understand that there are plenty of supporting allies benefiting the community. I also did not believe domestic violence to be a prominent issue, but this is more common than people think. Domestic violence is seen as a silent symptom in relationships, and the victims in these situations usually take no mind to it or ignore it; this is dangerous for an individuals health. These issues are not just seen on school campuses, but in the real world today.
