Long Career Research Paper

I can still remember the first day of my 1st MBA week back in 2014. It feels like ages ago but what I did not know at the time was that it was the start of a life changing journey. I can still remember how anxious I was in my first Leadership class. When Paul de Beer introduced us to the Leadership module, I realized that this will be a very rewarding course for me, almost like a movie with me in the lead role. Now, busy with my last leadership assignment, I can say that this was really the most rewarding module of the whole MBA.

“She knew you would make the right decisions,” is what my sister said to me as the room of onlookers glared awaiting my response. Amidst the grief of the moment, I struggled to grasp ahold of my abilities, and thoughts, resisting the urge to scream at the universe and engage my right to squander in my grief. In reality, I was the youngest sibling, holding the accountability of being an active leader. This was not your everyday decision making process, it was the planning of burial arrangements after the loss of our mother. Rapidly, decoding through the streams of my emotions, I collected my strength and continued with the process. In the end, I survived by drawing upon my emotional intelligence, intuition, and practical skills.

As result of creating and implementing this artifact, I realized that the most effective lesson plans are those which initiate with the final assessment in mind. So, I applied a pre-test at the very beginning of my lessons with every different group I would be teaching to measure a starting point or the amount of pre-existing knowledge on the topics to be taught. Based on this, I planned the instruction to deliver and how to differentiate it.

Even though I’m well suited in a leader role, since I’m assertive, adaptable, forthright and positive. Most importantly, I love to inspire and empower and develop others. Although I always model the qualities that I would like to see in my project team. What distinguishes me as a leader, is a willingness to take risks, embrace change and the unknown, a collaborative leadership, facilitation style, with a high commitment to personal and organizational excellence, and a passion of learning and continual improvement of myself as a leader. Whereas to improve my leadership skills so to become a better leader, using the leadership assessment. I need to be clear on what my strengths are, and what complementary strengths I’ll need from others. I need

I think this question begs to realize why “success” and retention are issues in the first place, and that that realization is different for faculty than it is for the administration. I’ve been present at numerous faculty meetings outlining why these two things are at odds, and how we can unite them. I’ve read multiple studies on why students drop out, and heard anecdotes about what colleges and faculty do to keep community college students in school. “Success” is much more subjective than retention, which is a numbers game. Retention also provides a measurement for something as abstract as success. Ultimately, I often feel at a loss as to how to define success or bridge the college’s goals with the student’s goals, and my lack of experience shows up most conspicuously here. Over my four years at this college, I have learned to deal with this issue in two ways, and both directly deal with the students: one is to approach the issue through providing outside support, and the other is by providing inside support. This means something particular to me and there are numerous strategies I employ for each.

Happy Graduation!!!!!!!!!! So, let me just say I am so proud of you for to making it to this point in life. Believe me I understand high school isn’t easy so congrats to finishing. Look at you. You're committed to college, you have a great set of friends, you got all your classes planned and things are looking bright — that is, until you realize the life that you've known for the past 17 or 18 years or so is about to change forever. Now you are in the real world and this is when shit gets real. college is like a weird bridge between childhood and adulthood. It's that next step to becoming independent adult. First apartment, first job, first paycheck, and even insignificant things like the first meal you cook for yourself, first real-world date, etc. Suddenly, you're not a kid anymore. you'll go from your simple part-time job to a real career in a matter of four or five years (and pay taxes, too). At some point, you'll look at the adults around you and think, "I might be closer to them than to being a teenager”. But Sooner than all that, you'll be living independently without the constant guidance of your parents or guardians. Even in college, you'll have to fend for yourself, do your own laundry and all the while somehow adjust to keeping yourself alive all on your own. Not Only are your responsibilities going to change but you also don't have the advice and opinions of your lifelong friends the same way you have had all your life (texting and calling don't always have the

Obtain an overall GPA of 6.5 by November 2018 to guarantee me a place into Psychology Honours in 2019 at UniSA.

Ever since I was young I always aspired to become more than I could ever imagine. I had drive and that helped me realize my goals early on in my education. I always dreamed of college and what it would be like. With the chance I could have followed in my older siblings and drop out of highschool I pushed through it to prove to my two younger siblings that bettering yourself is possible. Not only did I graduate from high school on time but I graduated with honors. I am the recipient of the McCoy Medal of Honor for being in the top 20% of my junior class but I was also a member of Van Horn High School 's National Honor Society and to top it all off I got to walk across the stage with red cords meaning I had graduated Cum Laude (GPA: 3.5-3.7). All of these were HUGE accomplishments for my family and I.

As an incoming freshman it is overwhelming coming to a whole new different environment the guidance of others is an essential for being successful in academics and being involved in college. This person that is guiding me has already graduated and knows the most awarding path to take for a great experience at CSUN. This person is called David who majored in Mechanical Engineering that I interned for in my senior year. He was once an undergraduate his main advice to all undergraduates for the next three years is to get involved in school there is so many events that are low cost or free, academics is not your whole life. This advice has helped me for this couple months in college but does not mean I know it all for that reason I ask him questions when a challenge comes to me. He has inspired me to try my hardest in college and believe in myself.

When motivated, I am the type of person that will be able to see my goals through, but I must be one hundred percent mentally committed to the goal for the journey to be a success. This has always been true for me no matter what type of goal I’m trying to achieve. If I’m not one hundred percent in than I might as well not be in at all. While having this quality is an asset, trying to get to the point where I’m all in is a little tricky. I share this insight so that my academic trail will make complete sense.

As I was indisposed on the day that we wrote up our goals for the semester, due to my car accident, I did not write up my goals in class. However, I thought of some goals that I would like to fulfill in the interim period, those goals would be to get at least a “B” in all my classes, manage my time so I do not burn myself out on homework, and get enough sleep during the week. Firstly, although I would like to make it on the Dean’s List this semester, there is a very possibility that I will not make it on due to academically rough areas in Math 110 and, to a lesser extent, Astronomy 100. With that being said, I would be more than happy to achieve a “B” or better in those classes as math and science have never been my strongest subjects, and I am not worried about my other classes as I know them fairly well and am confident in my abilities to do well in them. Secondly, I would like to manage my time more effectively so that I do not get ground down mentally by the amount of homework that is sure to pile up over the course of the semester. I have found that it is much easier to split my workload up into smaller chunks and tackle those, day-by-day-, as opposed to trying to cram a lot of homework into a single day – which is mentally taxing and a fair bit annoying as well. Finally, as rest is very important – both during the course of the school semester and when school is not going on – I would like to get enough this course so that I can focus on my classes each day without

After completing this journal, I realized that my well being is reflected upon my occupations. Just a year ago, I recall how I spent majority of my time studying to get that 4.0 GPA for medical school. To obtain that goal, I did not engage in any creative or fun occupations that would make me smile. The only thing on my mind was to study from morning to midnight. That whole year, I was miserable as I failed to accomplish my goal. To make matter worse, my grandparents passed away, adding more stress. During that time, I did not know how to best respond to my situation. I thought studying hard was enough, but I did not realize others factors can prevent me from accomplishing my goals. After finishing this journal, I have realized how much I have change by engaging in meaningful occupations, sticking to new theme of meaning, and developing better habits.

I can remember a presentation I gave to my school when I was in grade 4. Students were nominated by their teachers from grade 4 to grade 6 and the students were asked to give a speech on a particular question. I believe it was my first big presentation, so I made sure I practiced many times at home in front of my parents and on my own in front of a mirror as well. When it came time for me to present, I forgot all the words to my presentation. I remember feeling embarrassed, but also disappointed in myself. This traumatizing experience was a turning point for me, as I feared presentations and I never wanted to present again. I avoided all opportunities that involved presentations. This fear stayed with me all through high school and university.

First Grade Competency 1 - Understand the symbols, icons, and traditions of community, state, and nation relates to theme II. Time, Continuity, and Change. The curriculum framework states that first grade helps children to understand family life and structure, as well as their roles in a global setting—such as the community. Students are learning about variations in the ways families’ live (i.e. single-parented, self-employed, unemployed, retired and various other housing options. Children should learn that family is the primary support group for people everywhere. Objective c. under Competency 1 states that students learn and discuss songs that express the ideals of the United States of America (i.e. America the Beautiful, the Star Spangled Banner, etc). NCSS Standard II relates to Competency 1 because the Learner Expectations require an in depth understanding of one’s past, where they have come from, to understand where they are going or even to realize how far they have come.

This course has taught me some valuable lessons of intellectual capital (IC) and the benefits my organization has received from it over the years. For instance, in my department, my co-workers have given the organization great praise for the training and the wealth of knowledge they have gained from the many educational classes HR have conducted. I further learn that IC in every cross section of my organization has increased the retention of employees. Another learning experience that I gain from IC is the increase level of every employee’s skill and their capability of solving or providing solution to customer’s problem.
