final ACP project

As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries, they will be reminded that
peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it;
we will not surrender for it, now or ever.

Our forbearance should never be misunderstood. Our reluctance for conflict should not be
misjudged as a failure of will. When action is required to preserve our national security, we will
act. We will maintain sufficient strength to prevail if need be, knowing that if we do so we have
the best chance of never having to use that strength.

Above all, we must realize that no arsenal or no weapon in the arsenals of the world is so
formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries
in today's world do not have. It is a weapon that we as Americans do have. Let that be
understood by those who practice terrorism and prey upon their neighbors.

I'm told that tens of thousands of prayer meetings are being held on this day, and for that I'm
deeply grateful. We are a nation under God, and I believe God intended for us to be free. It
would be fitting and good, I think, if on each Inaugural Day in future years it should be declared
a day of prayer.

This is the first time in our history that this ceremony has been held, as you've been told, on this
West Front of the Capitol. Standing here, one faces a magnificent vista, opening up on this city's
special beauty and history. At the end of this open mall are those shrines to the giants on whose
shoulders we stand.

Directly in front of me, the monument to a monumental man, George Washington, father of our
country. A man of humility who came to greatness reluctantly. He led America out of
revolutionary victory into infant nationhood. Off to one side, the stately memorial to Thomas
Jefferson. The Declaration of Independence flames with his eloquence. And then, beyond the
Reflecting Pool, the dignified columns of the Lincoln Memorial. Whoever would understand in
his heart the meaning of America will find it in the life of Abraham Lincoln.

Beyond those monuments to heroism is the Potomac River, and on the far shore the sloping hills
of Arlington National Cemetery, with its row upon row of simple white markers bearing crosses
or Stars of David. They add up to only a tiny fraction of the price that has been paid for our
freedom.

Each one of those markers is a monument to the kind of hero I spoke of earlier. Their lives ended
in places called Belleau Wood, The Argonne, Omaha Beach, Salerno, and halfway around the
world on Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Pork Chop Hill, the Chosin Reservoir, and in a hundred rice
paddies and jungles of a place called Vietnam.

Under one such marker lies a young man, Martin Treptow, who left his job in a small town
barbershop in 1917 to go to France with the famed Rainbow Division. There, on the western
front, he was killed trying to carry a message between battalions under heavy artillery fire.

We're told that on his body was found a diary. On the flyleaf under the heading, "My Pledge," he
had written these words: "America must win this war. Therefore I will work, I will save, I will
sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost, as if the issue of the whole
struggle depended on me alone."

The crisis we are facing today does not require of us the kind of sacrifice that Martin Treptow
and so many thousands of others were called upon to make. It does require, however, our best
effort and our willingness to believe in ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great
deeds, to believe that together with God's help we can and will resolve the problems which now
confront us.

And after all, why shouldn't we believe that? We are Americans.
God bless you, and thank you.

The One Minute Paper will help give the instructor a sense of what the students have learned. It will also
help the instructor gauge where there might be gaps in their knowledge. The One Minute Paper will be
done at the very end of the class

Reflective Essay

It was a great opportunity to be able to participate in the Adjunct Certification Program.
I commend Lone Star for implementing this program because no matter how long you have
been teaching, there is always room for improvement and always new things to learn.

I not only met some interesting peers, but also learned a few tricks of the trade from
them. I was impressed with the level of creativity in their projects. I thought the instructor was
excellent. She was very responsive to student needs in a timely manner. When you are working
on a virtual platform, it is important to get questions answered quickly, especially when meeting
deadlines.

I found the course to be challenging—it made me stretch my creativity in developing a
well-planned outline for teaching. The course also provided me with a deeper form of learning,
and how to apply it in the classroom. I plan to use several of the techniques, tools, etc.
presented in class in my future classes.
