Bryan works great with others and is a great leader to have around groups, especially the newer employee’s because he has such a positive outlook on life in general.

I never really thought about college until high school. Family and teachers talked to me about what I wanted to do in life and how college could help me pursue it. Before starting my college portfolio my classmates and I were requested a website called scois.org by Spartanburg High School’s career specialist, Addie Jones. Scois(South Carolina Career Information System) is a career website, to help you plan your career, learn about a career, and provide you with schools and information along with your desired career.Scois has helped me compare college where I plan to attend, which are: The Arts Institute of Charleston, Claflin University, SCAD, and University of North Carolina Greensboro. The website lets me compare the schools, wether it’s

Being diagnosed with a poor prognosis can cause a various experience and a range of emotions. However, people have to manage these feelings to live a fulfilling life.

It is a very difficult situation for the individual and the family. In addition, the individual’s mentally gets changed after knowing his condition.

Within the managerial accounting field, I believe the Transformational Leadership Theory would most effectively impact employee performance. The Transformational Leadership Theory bases success on charismatic leaders, who lead by inspiring subordinates to adopt high goals for themselves and the company and then strive to achieve them (Spector, 2012, p.342). As a woman in the accounting field, the odds are already stacked against you. “Despite their success at lower levels of management, American women are still underrepresented at the higher levels of organizations” (Spector, 2012, p. 345). Bill Carlino, Editor-in-Chief at Accounting Today indicates that “one of the most cited statistics in accounting is that more than half of accounting graduates are female, but women comprise something on the order of 15 percent of partners and shareholders at accounting firms” (Carlino, 2010, p. 3). This information has kept consistent as Gale Crosley points to the same issue four years earlier in a separate article. “Although 57 percent of today’s accounting graduates are women, only 10 percent to 15 percent of firm partners are female” (Crosley, 2006, p. 9). As we’ve seen above, women in accountancy fall even further behind men. Because women in leadership positions within accountancy are consistently hitting the glass ceilings in their levels, I believe that they need charismatic leadership. These

In Algebra I have improved slightly ever since the beginning of 8th grade. Algebra is still kind of hard for me, yet I still manage to get a fairly decent grade of an 86%. For me, I do really good in homework assignments. I get mostly A's and B's and rarely C's. When it comes to tests and quizzes, that's a whole different story. So far I’ve mostly gotten C's but I recently took a test and got an A which made me really proud of

Overall I feel disappointed because I feel there were so many times where I could have done something better or managed my time better. I think there were some times where I would make to many excuses and would procrastinate to the very last minute. I’m reflecting back on that and seeing how much more I could have accomplished if I saw this sooner. It’s like they say the start to fixing something is admitting there is something wrong. My strengths in English were analyzing a question and talking about or writing what I thought it meant and why. Also, another one of my strengths were thinking about what a person would say to counter claim my opinion. My weakness in English was explaining to others my beliefs

I had been in advanced through both years of middle school, finding grade seven to be much more difficult than eight. I believe this was due to me having rarely received homework prior to grade seven and then suddenly receiving it nightly. I often got incredibly stressed out and once even cried. Still, I managed to achieve alright grades, my highest being ninety-three percent in English and my lowest seventy in Math. In grade eight I found much higher success, and I found that I was rarely stressed out or overworked. My highest mark was ninety-nine percent in Science, and my lowest ninety-percent in Math. Definitely a significant increase overall, and for this I am satisfied that grade seven was so arduous.

As the end of my middle school years close, I can definitely see and feel an improvement of my math skills compared to last year. I improved on my quick learning abilities, negative numbers and unknown variable skills. I was able to do that by paying attention and taking notes. This will definitely help in the future because I have more knowledge in math and I will be able to use for high school. All I did to get over my not-so-great-skills is study and pay attention more.

Before we decide that PCO causes diabetes or not it is important to understand the normal physiology. Usually a single egg starts forming in one of the ovaries, grows to the size of 18-22 mm in a span of 14 days (beginning from D1 of periods). Usually on D14 it comes out of its shell reaches the tube, waits there for its male counterpart ‘sperm’ for 24 hours. If it meets its male counterpart it results in pregnancy, if it doesn’t then after 14 days, the nest or the endometrium prepared by the womb for the baby sheds off which we see in form of monthly periods or menstruation. Usually the second half of cycle i.e. luteal phase is constant 14 days; there is variability in the egg formation and release time.

The next assignment I would like to showcase is my performance and portfolio assessments from Using Assessment Data to Drive Instructional Decisions. The performance assessment focused on a Pizza Party assignment. Students were required to add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals using pictorial models and algorithms in order to calculate the cost the cost of pizza and drinks at each pizza parlor. They used their calculations to determine which restaurant had the best price. Students were scored on a performance rubric regarding their ability to add and subtract rationals, represent and solve for products of decimals, and represent and solve for quotients of decimals. My portfolio assessment covered the same skills; however, students were required to submit six artifacts they completed over the course of the year. All of the assignments involved decimal computation. Students were scored on a rubric based on their demonstration of mathematical concepts and reasoning, errors, terminology, organization, peer assessment, and reflection.
