Impact Of Participating During The Vita Program At Umd

While taking this course I benefited from learning a variety of things about the American government, as well as refreshing my memory on somethings I already knew. What didn’t work for me was my time management skills. I am used to writing papers may be two days before the due date. This did not work so well for me because the most difficult part of the paper tended to be the last part. On one of my papers I could not finish the last section of the paper because I didn’t give myself enough time. Videos that were played in during were also very helpful in this course. I did enjoy watching the clip about the Veterans. It was very shocking that many benefits that Veterans now have they weren’t automatically given. Fighting for a country is a very

I personally think I took on the roles of co-ordinator, team leader, monitor-evaluator and completer (Hartly, 2010 p.6), for example, I was the first to comment on the wiki and continue with the groups week to week activities to keep the group moving forward. I also kept the wiki up to date, while also making sure everyone was on task with the assessment. Even though it was a long drawn out process, I tried to get everyone collaborating on the group wiki provided and also took the lead to keep in contact with our eLA about the progress of a team, due to complications with team members not showing or disappearing through the

I was asked to take part in the project, having had a training team and also having had issues relating to training myself, when I moved from a management role to a technical case role.

Interview question: What have you done in the past to contribute toward a teamwork environment?

Ever since I was a child my mother instilled into me that education was the greatest key to success, and since then I’ve had a chip on my shoulder to push myself ten times harder than what I feel is “great work”, so therefore I am a perfect candidate for GHP. I know I can keep up with the accelerated paste of the course because I already have experience of taking classes with upperclassmen in my core classes. Also, when I complete the tasks I can dutifully finish the work and deliver exceptional results. I feel as though I can be a great addition to the program because I possess a combination of skills that are unique to my upbringing and environment, but I would be honored to learn new information that I was not knowledgeable about before my experience at the Governor’s Honors

As a Napa Valley College student, I’ve successfully taken several business-related courses in accounting, economics, business law, public speaking, and computer systems that are similar to courses I will be taking at the University of California. Despite rigorous course loads (16 units on average), I’ve found success in my courses using resources such as “Google Calendar” to help me time manage, forming study groups with classmates, and forming connections with instructors whom I’ve received academic support from. In addition, by experiencing success in my courses and grasping the concepts taught, I began using my knowledge to serve other students by volunteering to tutor in math, accounting and economics courses. By doing so, I’ve strengthened my understanding of the different concepts in those subjects and have successfully retained the information by reviewing it with others. Furthermore, I’ve taken

When we first started the course I had very little knowledge about the United States Government. Now, I feel like I have learned a lot and amd able to hold a conversation with someone about our government and actually understand what they are saying and some of the terminology. My growing knowledge of the United States government has and will continue to impact my personal sense of what it means to be an United States citizen. Since I now understand things better I feel like it is easier for me to be more involved with our government since I am no longer as confused as I was before. After taking the class I have seen the importance of participating in things such as voting and why the government decides to make and enforce certain decisions

Imagine a classroom with an uninterested teacher, unenthusiastic students and a clock that just won’t tick any faster. I was obligated to take these types of repetitious classes and now, my life opens a new chapter. It is my time to take the initiative to move to a new town, with new faces, and new opportunities. There is nothing more satisfying than working with a group of people who care and nothing worse than sitting in a classroom filled with unmotivated students. I do not ever want to be stuck in a classroom like that again. I have always had a passion for learning and a natural drive to succeed. The GW Honors Program is a prerogative for my undergraduate experience because I want to challenge myself to be the most perfect version of myself

“Take a minute: look at your goals, look at your performance, see if your behavior matches your goals.”- Kenneth H. Blanchard, The One Minute Manager. The first thing I learned while taking BMGT 398A was to set goals for my performance at the beginning of my internship, and reviewing them throughout the semester to make sure I was working toward meeting those goals. Participating in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program at the University of Maryland was extremely beneficial to me. Being a team leader in the VITA program allowed me to not only apply what I have learned in business courses, but it also helped me expand my teamwork and customer service skills. Likewise, the VITA program has helped many students around the country.

That is why my first summer after high school I became an intern at the Michigan Republican Party in the capital city of Lansing, Michigan. I came there with an intent to get my feet in the water of the political world and earn the respect and recommendations of my superiors. Now I hope to do that on a larger scale and make a respectable name and reputation for myself in our nation’s capital. Another vital reasoning for a desire to be in this program is to fulfill another goal I have in mind, to graduate from the University of Michigan in three years. Already earning more than a semester’s worth of credits from Advanced Placement, this goal is not far off; however, I need to spend my summers earning credits in order to fulfill this objective. This program offers a unique opportunity to simultaneously study and intern, making progress towards both my degree and professional network while acquiring valuable work experience. Now aside from the focus I have on what I am striving to achieve, I would love to be in this program for

Is there anything you have found to be helpful that you learned from the class (such as being able to answer tax questions for friend; able to do your own taxes better, etc.)?
