The experiences, opportunities, and knowledge of LEADERS impacted\u00a0me in a positive\u00a0way towards my academic field.\u00a0 The Academic Internship course taught me how to deliver a video message for the boys and girls in Ghana\u00a0on handwashing and the entire community. Also,\u00a0 able to get out of my comfort zone by being in front of people and a camera by delivering an important message. learned new skills such as developing a questionnaire survey, writing a literature review, and creating a handwashing game. The Reseach course: CHP\u00a0430W, helped write papers on addressing the main problems, challenges, and solutions. The Diversity course: Soc 320 changed my\u00a0view based on culture and sociology concepts.\u00a0 Learned about wage gaps between men and women, race\/gender\/discrimination issues against the minority groups, and health care expenditure per capita.\u00a0 I was able to apply the concepts in the LEADERS program to my other courses.<\/p>\n
The strengths were\u00a0being able to talk about some of the courses that inspired me to be a better student and person. An opportunity to express my undergraduate experience that will hopefully inspire others about their goals. I learned better doing the LEADERS programs by reflecting\u00a0on my experiences than I would take a test. Challenges and frustrations I faced were taking a lot of classes so I can graduate on time. At first, I thought it would be a good idea to take six classes so I would not fall behind. After the past several semesters, I realized I was taking on too much because the six classes assignments, tests, projects, and presentations would overlap each other.\u00a0 Throughout the week I would stay up late just to make sure that I turn in my assignments on time. With LEADERS, I was able to dedicate my time in each course wisely.\u00a0 For the future, I will not take on to many classes where I spread myself thin and manage my time better.\u00a0The new skills I learned I will be able to apply them to graduate school and my career in hospital\u00a0administration.\u00a0 I will be to write literature reviews and talk with more confidence from the academic internship experience from recording a video. Skills from research can be used when I am looking up topics such as infectious and break it down in sections to be easily understood. It is important to understand the diversity of other cultures and their experiences.<\/p>\n
