The program will consist of three events over the course of three months. The…

On page 32, I explained that I shared my background with students in hopes of connecting with them. I want to be clear that while this is something I normally do, I also was encouraged by Department Chair Dr. Kilolo Brodie to do so as a means to build relationships with students. Dr. Brodie shared with me she had her own issues with students when she joined the faculty. She explained that she overcame her student issues, sometimes at the expense of the course material, by spending a great deal…

interested in the Business Analysis & Technology program. Since I would like to choose the Information Management as my university major in City University, I want to attend some related courses, so as to focus my major subject during the exchange journey. Another reason for choosing University of Strathclyde is the supports provided to international students. The statistics show that 41% of undergraduate students in this university are international students. It is a great number, so that the…

restrict myself to schools close to where I grew up. After reflecting on my path to higher education, I will now demonstrate how principles associated with life course theory, as well as exchange theory, had a large hand in my decision to attend university. So how exactly do the life course and social exchange theory intertwine with my life? There are two of the principles from Elder et al.’s article for which I partially credit my success. The principle of agency, which looks at an…

David Letterman confessed that he had sex with the female staff who work on his show. The Social Exchange Theory can help explain why he confessed the way he did concerning this issue. According to our text, “we make decisions about and engage in behaviors we expect to be rewarding” (pg. 378). The Social Exchange Theory, in short, explains and predicts. Furthermore, it explains why people tend to maximize their rewards and minimize their costs. For Letterman, he decided to confess this way…

top of my class in all. Their doubts may had something to do with it. To my sheer happiness, my growing trend in academia carried into college, which earned me two honor awards despite my previous dispositions.

Oh no I think I see them again. Oops, my bad, let's start at the beginning when it all started. It was July 7, 2013 and I was waking up to go to Sagemont Summer Camp. I put on my bathing suit and drove to Sagemont to load the buses. I got there and found my friend Dillon, a kid a met at camp and he became my best friend, and we picked the last seat in the back.
