It reminded me of the larger issues beyond my immediate surroundings and taught me to focus on broader life goals rather than getting bogged down by the minutiae of daily challenges.

The reliance on volunteers for operational tasks, while fostering community involvement, might lead to inconsistencies in the execution of events and programs if not properly managed. The structural frame helps to identify the need for clear roles, responsibilities, and training for these volunteers to ensure the efficient running of mosque activities.

For the analysis of the Islamic Society of Central Florida (ISCF), I’ve chosen to use Bolman and Deal’s Structural Frame to dissect and understand the organization’s structure and leadership. This choice is based on the detailed description provided about ISCF’s organizational setup, which emphasizes its hierarchical and functional aspects. The Structural Frame focuses on how an organization arranges itself, its roles, responsibilities, and processes to achieve its objectives, making it a fitting lens through which to examine ISCF, given its clear hierarchical structure and division of labor.

Reflecting on my experiences with ISCF during the preparation for Ramadan, three major insights about the organization’s leadership have emerged. Firstly, the alignment of values and actions, particularly during such a critical period, underscores the importance of congruence in effective leadership. Secondly, the collective effort to cater for the mosque highlights the power of collaboration and common purpose in achieving significant community goals. Lastly, the dedication and commitment displayed by everyone involved, from planning to execution, exemplify the profound impact of united community service on social change.

Insight #2: You never know if you don’t try. Reach out to local organizations and businesses to see if they can support your non-profit’s cause.

Hearts for the Homeless recently had a First Aid Drive among our student volunteers. This was a great idea, but I feel that we could get more donations if we sent some sort of message out to donation areas like local health care clinics and hospitals. Sometimes these materials can get expensive so asking a business/organization of some sort could work in our favor.  In the message I crafted, I mentioned the prevalence of the homelessness issue in Orlando, stated a recent trend in the individuals using our services, and provided a way to address the aforementioned issue.

Instructions: Step 1: Briefly summarize the “best fit occupations” results of the combined assessment (about 100 words). Step 2: Reflect on the combined results of your assessments as they relate to your current career interest (about 400 words). Consider responding to one or more of following prompts: In the Work Interest assessment, what is your Holland Code (please use the letters and descriptive titles)? How well do these three descriptors fit your current career interest? How might these descriptors help you select a better fitting career goal? In the Leisure Interest assessment, what are your top three leisure interests? How well do these three descriptors fit your current career interest? How might these descriptors help you select a better fitting career goal? What “best fit” occupation recommendations do you agree with? What recommendations do you disagree with? Why? Which of the five assessments (work, leisure, skills, personality, values) are most important to you personally? Select three assessments and run another combined report. Are the results any different? Did the results provide you with any new insights? You may also comment on the insights gained from the Focus 2 Career Assessment and how they relate to the results of previous assessment you have completed while in LEAD Scholars including True Colors, Strengths, and 16-Personalities.

Personal Reflection: To come up with the persuasive letter on Zooniverse, I had to dig deep and research the goals of Zooniverse as well as the scientific projects it contains. The main goal of Zooniverse is that it helps fuel new research projects and inspire future scientific breakthroughs. The collaboration between the experienced scientists and the public is what makes Zooniverse such a unique platform.  I hope that this letter persuades the public to join universe and help uncover the wonders of our universe.

Step 3: Provide one personal insight about your career path gained from this learning activity. My best fit occupations included a Toy designer, an Architect, an Actor/Actress, and Funeral Director. I picked the top four to discuss. It’s interesting to me because the only occupation out of those four that have really interested me would be the architect. The Toy designer occupation seems very interesting, it has to do with arts and entertainment. I consider myself a very creative person so I could see why I got this occupation. It said that my values, personality, skills, and leisure all aligned with this occupation. The second one was an Architect. This occupation has to do with Architecture and engineering. This occupation has interested me before, because of the creativity it involves. It said that my values, skills, and leisures all aligned with this occupation. The third one was an actress. This one was very cool to see, but the last time I performed in a play was 7 years ago in middle school. I was never a theater kid or interested in being one. For this one it said my personality and leisure aligned. And lastly, a funeral director. I really did not know what to think about this one when I saw it. For this one it said work, personality,  and skills all aligned. My current career interest is becoming a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. I love to work with kids because they are so happy all the time, and I also love science and how the human body works. Lastly I want to do something in my life that is meaningful, like helping others. It was interesting to see how this assessment played out regarding my current career interest. In the leisure assessment, my top three leisure interests include Aesthetic (The creators), Correct (The Organizers) and Eager (The persuaders). I can 100% agree with these interests.It says The creators Tend to be creative and intuitive, enjoy activities like writing, painting, sculpturing, playing a musical instrument, performing, and more, enjoy working in an unstructured environment where they can use their imagination and creativity, and often described as being: open, imaginative, original, intuitive, emotional, independent, idealistic, and unconventional. It says that the The Organizers like to be involved in activities that follow set procedures and routines, like to work with data and details, have clerical or numerical ability, and carry out tasks in great detail, and often described as being conforming, practical, careful, obedient, thrifty, efficient, orderly, conscientious, and persistent. And lastly it says that The persuaders like to influence others, enjoy persuading others to see their point of view, like to work with people and ideas, rather than things, and often described as being adventurous, energetic, optimistic, agreeable, extroverted, popular, sociable, self-confident, and ambitious. All of these characteristics perfectly describe me. I don’t really think that any of the “best fit” occupations are for me. The only one I could see myself being in is an architect, but again that is nothing close to a nurse practitioner. The most important out of the five assessments to me would be values. I decided to run another report with just values, personality and skills to see what I would get. The occupation that fit me the most with those three was a clinical psychologist. Now this is more into the occupation I could see myself in. It’s more into the sciences which I liked. As I scrolled through the careers that matched, I realized the only one that was remotely close to a Nurse Practitioner was a Family Practitioner, which I would have to get a medical degree in. In conclusion, I very much enjoyed completing this assessment, and it made me realize other career options I could consider based on my personality, values, leisure, work interest, and skills.

here is no specific agency representative as it is co-founded by the American Red Cross and is led by a collective organization, they are accountable for the things publicized on the map and will change it if they are inaccurate. Each volunteer carries out their own mapping contributions working towards a shared goal. This is done with a street mapping software called The Tasking Manager which is a free software developed by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. It tracks the number of hours you have contributed. Its goal is to create an accessible and complete map of the world.

This changes to help people get to certain places that they must get to every day. By having an organized structure those who volunteer are able to map these places whenever they want and work towards the common goal.

etcetera

volunteers are clear. They are to map buildings, roads, and other landscapes in order to achieve a common definite goa

I selected this because my nonprofit organization that I chose is online therefore they have to have a very organized and easy to understand structure for people to be able to volunteer and contribute to the overall shared goal.

Leaders create a common goal so others can help contribute.

The focus of physical therapy to me was on helping to build somebody up not only physically but also emotionally through building a relationship with clients based on trust, and that really drew me to the field.

Just as much as physical therapy focuses on physical healing, it also relies on emotional healing, not only from the injury but overcoming any other mental hurdles that may make recovery difficult, such as doubt or attrition. These require a strong bond of trust between patient and provider. This also incorporates my personal style of leadership, which is servant leadership. Servant leadership focuses on meeting the needs of the people that are being served and are served alongside first and building them up to be better than where they are now, which is the focus of physical therapy. It also incorporates another important focus of leadership, which is being able to work with people from all walks of life, as patients can come from many backgrounds but deserve the same level of care. All of these practices are significant focuses in my own life and will be in my career.

I feel these fit my current goal well as physical therapy involves connecting with and helping people through recovery, creatively finding ways to incorporate new strategies for recovery to reduce attrition, and, my personal goal, incorporating arts such as music into those therapy routines to help people find ways to enjoy the difficult and long recovery process.
