Esstp Personal Reflection

Early last summer, I was on my way to becoming a high school senior. This was one of the most exciting transitions of my high school career. My best friend Modolyne and I always told ourselves senior year must be epic, I mean it’s our last year, right? So, this meant we were participating in all school activities - which wasn’t free. My senior year spending was well over a thousand dollars. Together, we decided to apply to a local Chick-fil-A in hopes of getting a job. I felt anxious towards applying, I’ve never been on a register before and I feared being rejected. Days past after applying and I grew sad. The self-fulfilling prophecy of me not landing the job was slowly echoing in my mind day after day. I woke up one gloomy morning, telling myself to forget about

As a committed member of the SGA/Leadership class, I was taught to lead by example. I achieved missions to instill values of integrity, passion, and service as I cooperated that into my school and community. The class handed me the opportunity to host school-sponsored events while giving me a hands-on, authentic opportunity to learn and develop leadership skills for the future and put the skills learned into practice through the coordination of planning and implementing events. I was nominated to chair numerous committees. Through delegating tasks, working tight-knit with others, laying a foundation for rules, integrity, and values, I earned credibility. My leadership skills spoke "do as I do" and not "do what I say" which enabled others

At the beginning of this school year, I began to realize something. I realized that my high school years were coming to an end. This was an eye opener for me. I didn't know what to expect of my last year nor what I wanted to do after high school. I then began looking for a job. So I applied to Chick-fil-a. I waited patiently several weeks for a call, but received no call whatsoever. I patiently waited for a new opportunity to come along. Until finally, I was given an opportunity at an electrical shop. On the first day of work I was introduced to the staff and learned the procedures of what needed to be done. My job now was to maintain the shop clean and to keep all materials organized as well as other tasks that helped me grow with my skills.

In 1986, I dropped out of college to relocate to Florida where I worked a couple years, got married and had 2 boys. I formed Oceanview Landscape & Irrigation where I was the owner/operator and designer of Landscape Installations. This business served its purposed by allowing me to work around the family and contribute to our finances. I sold that business and unfortunately my marriage came to an end. I re-entered the corporate world for a previous supervisor and had the opportunity of a lifetime by working with some amazing professionals on the design for the restoration of the Everglades. Unfortunately political cutbacks affected my employment. I returned back to school for

Following my graduation from college I returned home, where I was able to find a job working with delinquent and abuse/neglect youth, with Forestland Group Homes Inc located in Caspian Michigan. This job allowed me to use the knowledge I gained from college working initially as a direct care staff and later as the Program

During my time here at CSN I’ve had a few extenuating circumstances arise while in school which took away from my performance in my classes causing me to either fail or withdraw out of courses and eventually be placed on SAP suspension. My mother was a single parent for a number of years and once I graduated from High School she asked of me to assist with bills in the home since I still resided with her, so I began working for Moneytree which to my surprise was very time demanding and at the time I was without reliable transportation and a manager who was not very flexible with my school schedule. Then in 2010 my family and I became homeless for some time due to the recession which caused my sister to lose her job in 2008, and then my mother in 2010. This left me as the sole provider for my family since I was the only one working full-time with the ability to work additional hours if needed due to the demand of my employer at the time, and my position within the company. Then in 2013 my father who resided in Illinois was diagnosed with Bladder cancer which led to me traveling to

After graduating from high school in 2006, I went overseas to a Bible school in Germany for six months. I did a lot of things after coming home from Germany and pursued different jobs. In 2009, I became a Certified Nursing Assistant and did that for three years, on and off. I worked with kids with severe needs in a home healthcare agency. In 2012/2013, I went to PIMA Medical Institute for a Veterinary Assistant Certificate and looked for jobs in that field. I came away feeling very discouraged because of the low paying jobs in that field and without any benefits. During that time and before going to PIMA, I was subbing in District 20 as a teacher’s assistant. When I realized I didn’t want to pursue the veterinary world, I got a job in the district as a SPED Paraprofessional. I

My personality type is ENTJ. Each letter has its own characteristic within my personality type. The E stands for Extraversion, N for Intuition, T for Thinking, and J for Judging. People with ENTJ personality types are natural born leaders. They like to take charge and direct people whenever they can. They’re self confident and career focused so they naturally fit in with the corporate world. Their strengths include being highly self confident, strategic thinkers, energetic, very efficient, strong willed and having excellent verbal communication skills. Some of an ENTJ’s weaknesses are impatience, poor handling of their own and other people’s emotions, intolerance, and stubbornness. Interestingly I found that Bill Gates,

Throughout my high school years, I gave myself many opportunities and challenges to demonstrate my worth as a leader. Of all these positions, the one I take pride in the most would be taking the lead role of directing a non-profit ACT organization. Together with my classmate, we had founded the organization to which I took charge of after he left to attend college. During my role as president of the ACT organization, my responsibilities included tutoring, finding teachers, organizing sign ups, as well as procuring space to hold classes.

There are four different types of personalities in my group: ESTJ, who is efficient, outgoing, analytical, systematic, and dependable. INFJ, who is Idealistic, organized, insightful, dependable, compassionate, and gentle. Also, an INTJ who is Innovative, independent, strategic, logical, reserved, and insightful. Then finally, ISTJ who is

As we go about our life, we gain many accomplishments and will feel good about it, that is positive pride. But when we close ourselves off and do not accept other opinions and won't take appropriate action, that is when it is negative pride and it becomes hurtful. In The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller the pride held by individuals in the story becomes very damaging to the people around them. Through the destructive nature of pride it causes Achilles, Thetis, Patroclus and many others to suffer.

However, I wanted a well paid job as a Business Manager in one of the large research departments at the University of Maryland. This was my dream job. However, a major challenge for me trying to obtain my dream job was that I didn't have yet a College Degree in Business Administration or any related area. I was pursuing a College Degree in Business Administration but I still had many years left to complete my degree. Again, as usual, my beloved mentor Joao came to my rescue. He taught me that even though I did not have a College Degree yet there were unconventional but very effective ways to land my dream job. He told me to apply for jobs before they are ever listed. Thus, I needed to connect with people from all walks of life at University of Maryland to learn about these hidden opportunities. Then, as I developed mastery in business administration and the specific business processes standardized at University of Maryland I would continue to create job opportunities even though I did not have yet a College Degree. He insisted that these large departments will always need people who can deliver strong results. I started to get interviews at the large research departments and I insisted in my interviews, as Joao advised, that I was willing to learn and I was not afraid to constantly educate myself. This way, I landed my dream job as a Business Manager at the Astronomy Department in spite of not having a College Business Degree yet. I have been there for almost 10

Growing up in a country where educational preferences were given to boys, my father went against the society norms and encouraged me to get higher education. Along with his guidance and my thirst for knowledge I was accepted in engineering program. I was happily pursuing my degree, when suddenly all this came to halt; my father was seriously ill. He wanted me to get married before he leaves this world. Few weeks later, I met my husband, who at the time was visiting Pakistan for his cousin’s wedding and within months I was married. I came to United States with a hope of better future and dreams of finishing my education, but was unable to do so as I was expecting our first child and had no one to help us with the baby. I dedicated myself to raise our daughter, but deep down that feeling of emptiness lingered. Life kept moving forward, we moved a few times, gradually I started to adapt to being a stay home mother of two beautiful girls. Numerous times I brought home admission forms from CCBC but started to doubt myself if I was going to be able to do restart after such a big gap? I started volunteering at my daughter’s school and was soon hired as a teacher’s helper to assist with children with special needs. While working at school, I was again in an environment that reminded and encouraged me to fulfill my lost dreams. In 2012, I enrolled at CCBC with no career path in mind: I just wanted start again! Once I started I never looked back and I will continue to thrive.

You have been hired as a consultant by your local mayor to look at the various market structures. Your role is to provide analysis and answers to these important questions that will help the mayor understand the structures of many of the businesses in his city:

Consequences of statistical inferences providing a result rather than an answer could include researchers incorrectly applying related management implications to their studies, when in reality they are applying a treatment that was not correctly interpreted. This could result in the new study producing a non-significant result when a biologically significant result should have been detected. Researchers desperate for a significant P value may claim an observation that was not present in the study, or perform researchers degrees of freedom, which is defined as decision making as researchers conduct the study, and not beforehand.
