I felt the Muriel Duncan video agrees with a philosy that I have about life. I have always felt that with enough effort and dediciation almost anyone can achieve the goals that set for themselves. Learning and education can continue through a person's entire life, you can can learn up until your last day on Earth. There is so much information available to people across that planet that anyone has the ability to educate themselves and learn new things if they put the effort into learning. Muriel showed that a person can be older and still find ways to protore education and achieve their dreams. The story of Ardelia and Leonard shows the power of motivating another person by providing leadership through actions. Ardelia could have taken the easy way out and not try and show her son there is a way to better himself through education. I think her actions gave Leonard the ability to see someone else close to him get an education. Showing her son a way to get his education is an excellent way for Ardelia to motivate and encourage him. While working full-time, I attending University of Phoenix and obtained my Master's Degree in Information Systems. I have two children, one of them was attending high school while I was working on my degree. She would see me working late at night on school projects …show more content…
While working on my Bachelor's degree, I worked in a warehouse doing manual labor. After I finished my first degree, I was protored and began working a computer operator for the company. A few years later, I was protoed again and began to work on IT related projects for the company. After obtainin my Master's Degree with Univisity of Phoneix, I became a manager for the company. In my current role I oversee budgets and help maintain the most important IT functions at my location. I use the skills I have learned from my education to improve financial revenue and reduce overhead
I hope to continue this when in university and use it to develop course related skills such as team-working that is a year 2 course titled Groups, Teams and Leaders. My involvement has given me insight into what takes place inside an organisation in terms of their computer systems and security. This will be relevant to the course as I may be able to use this as a source for an assignment on security in year 3. The knowledge of what a large company does in terms of IT security means that I will be able to apply this to my assignments. By working here, I have also improved my communication with people who would allow me to become a more active member of a
I learned how Ida B. Wells-Barnett started her life. Born as a slave, orphaned at 16, she became a teacher to support her surviving brothers and sisters. With the difficult circumstances brought upon her, it took an amazing amount of determination for her to fight for black civil rights and women’s rights in the 19th century. In a more civilized age, it’s harder to witness the courage she represented for the disadvantaged.
The video resonates with me as a first generation college graduate. It puts a smile on my face knowing that someone was willing to put their foot down on granting everyone the opportunity to gaining an education. I always tell myself and others that an education is the best gift someone could ever give themselves. That being said, I am pleased to see that Justin Morrill was able to give that gift to Americans across the globe. 125 years later, I am thrilled to see that Land grant universities are still in effect and doing what they can to provide access and enhance opportunities for everyone watching a higher education. I can relate to this video on a personal level considering I was a first generation college graduate. Knowing that there are other people who wanted to attend college as bad as myself makes me feel like we can all make a difference in this world of higher education. I am grateful to be where I am, gaining a higher education as a graduate student and in return I am thankful that everyone is given that same
When I graduated, I decided to pursue my interest. I took up a Business Intelligence job at Visual BI Solutions – a leading SAP BI service provider. I started my career at Visual BI Solutions as a BI
To me, this video was really inspiring and encouraging. I agree with what Meg Jay had to say and am currently working on bettering myself and my future. It is hard to make a lot of life choices right out of high school and
Lastly, becoming a student worker has given me the opportunity develop my professional skills. As mentioned earlier, I have developed my public relations skills through my work, but I've also learned how to prioritize my tasks and how to balance work and personal time. My employer allows me to create my work schedule- with that comes the option of over-working myself, or not working enough in order to avoid responsibility; I learned what my limit it is and how to determine when the appropriate times for me to work
While attending both GMU and NVCC I have been working close to or at full time. This has not only had the impact of me needing to balance my time between the two, but also taught me the value of finding real world applications for the knowledge that I’ve attained. While working at my current job at Trader Joe’s, I have been able to use knowledge that I’ve learned in both my general education and degree specific classes to make me a better employee and trainer. After having worked on a research paper about a plant of our own choosing (I choose apples) and how it related to humanity and what its history with us was, I was able to take both take both my new knowledge of apples and ciders and help people at work make more informed purchases. My education classes have also given me several skills in teaching people how to do new tasks and learn new information and I’ve been able to better teach our new and current employees about new ways we’re doing stuff in our stores and the items that we sell.
This move was definitely the best career move that I have ever made. We get to interact with customers and employees of the organization on many levels in order to ensure customer satisfaction with our billings, processing of amendments/credits in a timely manner, business unit awareness of customer disputes, or just to create a positive perception to our customers. In this department we use SAP, Lotus Notes, Business Warehouse, and other smaller applications for financial analysis, knowledge sharing, reporting, customer reporting, and process flows.
Cordelia’s bedroom after school in the spring. The four girls are playing dolls while it rains outside. Its very loud and thunder is rumbling. To occupy their time they have taken to the indoors and their imaginations. Elaine is sitting on the side, watching the other girls play intuitively, trying her best to understand how in which she should behave being that she is still unsure of “girlish rituals.”
After watching the video in class, it has demonstrated the view of three different generations from different time periods. In my point of view, each of the three generation had something special, meaningful, and something that should be a part of every generation in the future, because it is this generation is lacking positive actions our parents and grandparents used to do.
But as I prepare to graduate from college, I have actively pursued roles and opportunities in my organizations and other areas that I believe will prepare me for my future challenges. Firstly, my involvement in the
I like how you talked about Cordelia's defiance as a way for her to express her individuality. I never considered it that way as I focused on how she believes that language can never sufficiently capture the depth and extent of her love. She says: "What shall Cordelia speak? Love, and be silent" (1.1.68). For her, to love means to love in silence through her actions. Deeds of love are more significant and trustworthy than words that can easily be faked. In connection to what you said, Cordelia shows that her personality is one who prefers actions over words.
