CDI Summary And Analysis

Throughout 9th and 10th grade, I have worked very hard academically. Yet, as I am about to venture into 11th grade, I feel as though I am ready for a challenge. Truthfully, the thought of starting college at the age of 16 sounded just like the type of challenge I needed. Furthermore, there are three main reasons why I want to attend the Mary Baldwin Early College: because I am seeking an academic challenge, because I believe that the Mary Baldwin Early College will help me to achieve my career ambitions, and because the Mary Baldwin Early college offers everything I hope to experience at a college.

The Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) is a self-assessment tool designed to provide a picture of how one behaves or is motivated. After completing a series of questions, a personalized report was created mapping out my personal motivators into categories of Blue (concern for people) Red (concern for performance) and Green (concern for process). The purpose of this paper is to discuss the results of my SDI assessment and my observations about my motivations and behavior in the workplace.

Is College Worth It? (Embedded Assessment #2) For most people, senior year is all about preparing for college and getting ready for the next stage of your life.

A campaign is an effort by political candidates and their supporters to win the backing of donors, political activists, and voters in their quest for political offi ce. Campaigns precede every primary and general election. Because of the complexity of the campaign process, and because of the amount of money that candidates must raise, presidential campaigns usually begin almost two years before the November presidential elections. The campaign for any offi ce consists of a number of steps. Candidates must fi rst organize an exploratory committee consisting of supporters who will help them raise funds and bring their names to the attention of the media and potential donors. This step is relatively easy for a candidate currently in the offi ce. The current offi ceholder is called an incumbent.

Community college is an open book for everyone, meaning college gives everyone a chance, despite the student’s level in Reading, English and Math. Addison thought, “Please tell him that hope can begin with just one placement test” (Graff & Birkenstein, 2017. Two Years Are Better than Four Liz Addison, p. 257). Some college like a community college would accept a record of a students standardized test scores, such as ACT’s or SAT’s. A placement test must be taken if a student doesn’t obtain scores from a standardized test. Depending on what the students score is then they will have to take a class that is at their level such as Math 101, English 101 and so on. Placement test will help a student get to their remedial level classes to improve

Many students have a decision to make during high school. That is whether to continue and go to college or just stop there. By having a college education a person is offered a variety of job opportunities. While non-college students have opportunities they are very limited and rare. College is expensive and choosing a career is strenuous. College is extremely important in a student’s career and continuing school pays off. Many view colleges as a make or break situation. However, a person should think about their future and family.

The aim of this assignment is to explore the key areas of ‘Performance Management’ in relation to Policies and Procedures followed by the Grimsby Institute.

Susan has convinced her parents that she can handle her situation and she is very concerned about letting herself and her parents down. Susan shares that she is reluctant to ask for help, fearing that her professors and fellow students will think that she is asking for “special” treatment and she explains that she is not really sure what kind of assistance is available to her in college. When she was in high school, she had an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and everything was mapped out for her.

College can be hard, but in the long run, it will be worth it to you to keep going. The future of your life depends on how you portray the present. People tend to follow the patterns of their parents or guardians. I would explain that in some cases you can overcome and do what is best for you even though your parents did not. Coincidentally, my parents did not go to college when they were younger. Back then it wasn’t so hard to find jobs without a degree, however, now most places won’t even consider you if you do not have a degree. Continuing, I would share with my friend that my dad is going back to school now to get his degree. It shows me that you can do anything you put your mind to if you really want it. He is a great inspiration for me, and I would hope to help my friend feel the same

Ms. Little is a 21yo high school graduate which would positively impact her ability to obtain work. Since she has a diploma she is one step closer to finding a job as most employers require a diploma. Ms. Little is also a mother of 2 and only caregiver. Although she has a substance abuse issue the fear of possibly losing her children gives her motivation to improve her independence in occupations required to care for them. She states she was once a good student, this helps with work and education and shows that in the past she was able to stay focused on a task. Another ability that Ms. Little has is that she possesses the skill of driving although she does not have a driver’s license. This will also help her when taking the driver’s test

During my 8th grade year, my algebra 1 teacher asked me if I had thought about attending college. My answer at the time was very nonchalant: “I don't know, maybe.” But since then that question often crossed my mind, becoming “Why not attend college? What’s holding you back? Is it doubt about being capable enough?” Eventually, I told myself, “Yes, you can take on anything you set your mind to.” So I looked for the classes required for college and put all of my energy and resources toward academic achievement.

My mother began to check up on me often from this point on. She began finding me passed out on my bed after school with all of my books and homework I had received from the school with most of the work incomplete. Being a nurse she started to develop a new worry. She quickly scheduled a doctor’s appointment which led to blood test after blood test. In the end this led to me being diagnosed with hypothyroid disease. This is a common disease in women that fogs up your mind and makes you very lethargic. I was given medicine and a week later I was proud to tell my mother I had all D’s in my classes. I ended up bringing my grades up to C’s by the end of the year. I continued through my middle school as a C student. When it came to high school I found a school called Tampa bay technical high school which was a school that differentiated itself from others. It was a high school that was not only an A high school but also had shop classes to choose from which included architecture, medical and computer science. Something about computer science had intrigued me especially the fact that in my middle school we had pretty much learned a little bit about all of the other shops in my classes in which every single one bored me to death. I applied and ended up getting into the Cisco academy at Tampa bay technical high school. From the beginning we learned the history of computers and then went on

Many new college students lacking preparation to successfully pursue postsecondary education on campus, a recent study shows that only one-third of high school graduates possess the minimum qualifications for a four-year college (Greene and Foster, 2003). In addition, a majority of students who study in two-year (community) college that also judged too weak to allow them enroll in college-level courses. In other words, those under-prepared students once study in college could not complete their degree on time, even drop out. In order to help under-prepared student complete college, postsecondary institution provides remedial or developmental courses on campus.
