The development of good habits before and throughout the 18 month Career Prep program will play a key role in balancing school, work, and the commitment to the program. By maintaining an agenda at all time, it will allow me to keep track of the tasks and deadlines that need to be completed. This will ensure I do not procrastinate and keep everything through the day organized. Coupled with class as well as working on campus allows me to be more efficient with my use of time between classes, making the day more productive and less chaotic. Through the Educational Opportunity Fund program, I was able to adjust to classes at Rutgers, this allowed to adapt to the courses and maintain good grades while also focusing on other opportunities/commitments,
In spite what I was told, I gave the Air Force a try. I did not score high enough to get recruited, so then I started college within the same of year of graduating High School. The adjustments I have made to ensure that I would not encounter difficulties in my educational endeavors is by alternating my work and living environment, more flexibility in time, exercise weekly and changed my diet. A balanced lifestyle includes physical fitness and a healthy diet. I believe this allows students to focus mentally throughout their daily task or projects. I now see college as a second full time job with putting in at least twenty one hours a week of studying time at the library. Study sessions will insist on 3 hours Monday through Friday with a minimum of 5 hours on weekends. In addition to the changes that I have made in order to succeed, there are challenges in the aspect of coming into the Information Technology world with a healthcare background. Healthcare has its own language as well as the Information Technology. Even though learning the language of Information Technology will be a challenge I am confident in my strength in persistency. I’ve learned my strength is being persistent in finishing a task or goal. With diligence and persistency I will accomplish my goals. For example, an unexpected emergent situation occurred at work. There was an active shooter present within the building. .
Even though Rosie the Riveter is an image frequently synonymous with the contemporary women’s movement, she was not designed to promote social change or improve the role of women in the workplace during World War II. In reality, she was promoted as the ideal female worker and was patriotic, confident, capable, and beautiful in a large propaganda campaign by the United States government. Since the war caused many men to answer the call to serve in the military, both at home and abroad, the United States was faced with the urgent challenge of recruiting women into the workforce. Rosie the Riveter was their solution to this problem.
This program forced me to be on top of my work and to keep an organized schedule. Due to the fact that this course goes by so fast and work is thrown towards the students all at once, if not cautious it can be very easy to fall behind on work. There is no time to slack off on work and wait until the last minute, because the program gives the students no time. Every minute of the day is taken up by homework and actual class time. This has forced me to
I need to do the best of my abilities academically in school to earn a scholarship to afford college without taking the risk of student loans. I have already started my community service and at the moment I have a GPA of 4.1600 (weighted) and 4.0 (not weighted). I constructed the plan to be a Neurosurgeon at middle school and have done high school classes at that time. Now all I need to do is sustain that GPA high. To do that I must take AP and honor classes in school and in the summer, AP classes online and pass them. I must prevent myself from getting tangled up in the web of distractions so that I may swiftly walk the trail to success with fewer hurdles to overcome on the way. Once I am able to maintain my GPA to an abundant amount, I can purposefully go forward to taking clubs or sports which would attract more attention to colleges. I have also been going to Khan Academy to prepare for SATs and by the end of my high school year; hopefully I have acquired a scholarship which would increase the chances of me being a Neurosurgeon. Although, in four years my plans can change, but I can easily adapt to the changes because all that could change would be the major or career I would like to partake
I’m proud of my accomplishments thus far in my academic career as a result of making the right decisions in the challenging courses I take that have all been possible through organization and paying attention to my teachers. Through cross country and track, I’ve been able to meet amazing people who share the passion of running and are focused on making the best future for themselves. I’ve benefitted from being a self-motivated student to continue working hard in and out of the classroom. An essential skill I learned was how to manage my time better. As I continue to add activities to my schedule, I use a planner to make sure I am dividing my time evenly to academics and
College is a life changing adventure, and I want it to be the best experience I can possibly receive. Attending Medgar Evers College, I have set high hopes and expectations. I hope to interact with people of diverse ethnicity. I want to learn more about different cultures and the individualization of people. And so far getting to know people on campus has been one of my greatest experiences. I have met so many wonderfully different people here. I hope to develop more independence. To be more responsible for keeping up with my schoolwork, preparing for tests, and making most out of my classes, even when they start early. Being successful in college is about more than handing your work in on time and passing classes. It’s about staying motivated. I know for a fact there will be a lot of demanding of my time. I know that procrastinating is not the best way of approaching situations. It is my responsibility to try to regularly motivate myself, even if it’s pulling
As a new freshman at the University of Evansville, time management stands as a recurring challenge of mine. Between taking 15 credit hour classes, which consist of three honors courses, working and studying, my time to live is pretty much gone. Since being in DISC 110 Student Success Strategies, which I found crazy at first to even be in, I have learned strategies to successfully manage my time management challenges to ensure I stay on track each semester and for the rest of my academic career.
As I continue prioritizing, the activities I participate in which include serving the community as an altar server for my Catholic Church, to my class work, my school and club sports and other extracurricular activities takes a tremendous amount of hard work. Juggling all these activities has not been easy, however; setting my priorities straight played a major role of reaching the short and long term goals I had for myself. I know that I have to perform in the class room first before I can play softball and attend a University. Since I can remember, I have worked hard to learn and keep up with my grades by receiving all A’s and having perfect attendance daily. I have not missed a day of school in my whole career, from kindergarten to today, my senior year.
If a teacher sent in a referral it was not addressed by administration if they had not contacted the parent first (there were issues that were classified as automatic office referrals). Teachers were also told that between class changes they were to be out and in the hallways. Duties had always been assigned; however the new administration walked around making sure that teachers were where they were supposed to be during their assigned times. This new expectation set the tone across the school very quickly. Each teacher has a 10 minute duty typically attached to the lunch period or the beginning/ending of the day. The school discipline policy has 3 levels of offenses. Level 1 is primarily classroom and hallway discipline issues. Level 2 includes offenses such as tobacco use violation, cussing a teacher, refusing to do as they are told, etc. these are automatic office referrals. Level 3 involves offenses that could have a student arrested or suspended. Data from last year does not show a decrease in discipline issues it actually shows a slight increase. The main reason for that is teachers were supported in handling discipline and they stopped turning a blind eye.
Self destruction and deprivation. A problem most may not think they have to deal with on a day to day basis. Especially since most people do not tear themselves apart piece by piece through guilt and denial, to the point at where they perish. Which is why in that regard, Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale is not most people. In the novel, A Scarlet letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, one of main character, Reverend Dimmesdale, has committed one of the most horrific sins a man during his time in Puritan society could commit. Dimmesdale has slept with Hester Prynne, another main character, not only out of wedlock, but also while Hester was still married to another man named Roger Chillingsworth. This sin of adultery immediately brought down the wrath of society onto hester in the form of a scarlet ‘A’ for adultery that she must wear on her bosom for the rest of her life. But in dimmesdale’s case, he is let go without anyone other than Hester in town knowing of his sin. Not only does Chillingsworth make it his life’s mission to seek his revenge on the Reverend, but Dimmesdale also lives a life gull og Hypocrisy with his guilt and shame slowly eating away at himself from the inside. Through the use of Reverend Dimmesdale, and his sins, Hawthorne derives the truth that living a life of hypocrisy and self denial is much worse than just being honest to yourself and others. He conveys that once you are set into denial and hypocrisy, it's becomes impossible to go back, which therefore makes it
A way that I find a balance between my college life and my personal life is to have a day planner , a schedule, or a to-do list, that way I know what has to be done first and what can wait to be done. When planning my life I know when I have the free time to do what I want. For instance, in Grant Berry’s A Change of Attitude, Grant did not find a good balance between his school work and his personal life. He was consumed by his school work, there was no extra time to spend with his family. Grant believed that the sacrifice was necessary to succeed in college, even though he didn’t like making those sacrifices.
You would expect to see a species growing at an exponential rate when a population has a constant birth rate through a period of time and it is never limited by food, disease, or space. WIth an exponential growth the rate of birth of a species alone can control how fast, and in some cases how slow, the population grows. A population will increase its rate and reach its maximum potential if it is filled with limitless amounts of resources. The numbers would start of slowly then pick up as quickly as the new individuals are added to the reproductive pool. Once they enter the pool the rate of growth will continue to increase over time.

Keeping a personal schedule or calendar can assist in prioritizing important dates, deadlines, and goals (Martinez Tucker, 2002). Asking for assistance from friends, family, and neighbors can also provide support. Finally, engaging in various stress relieving activities may prevent students from feeling overwhelmed.
