Impact Of Participating During The Vita Program At Umd

After attending the info session for Year Up, and looking over the website for more details, I am very pleased with this program. It seems like a perfect fit for a college student like myself to help enhance my dreams of becoming an accountant. Year Up can definitely move me up to a higher level in life. I know for a fact I will be a perfect fit for Year Up because I am a determined and motivated individual. I work hard inside and outside classrooms to conquer anything that I desire, no matter what it takes. Also, when it comes to the Year Up program, I am willing to put forth that same effort.

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

My first year at Jamestown Community College as a student, I accomplished making Part-time Dean’s List two semesters back to back. Beginning college that year my personal goal was to strive making new habits to get the best experience out of college, while keeping up with my grades. I took classes to guide me through learning paths, but it they taught me ways of accomplishing what you wanted out of life and other significant information in classes. Prior, to entering to college I received a scholarship called Chautauqua Educational Opportunity to attend Jamestown Community College. It is significant to my study because in high school I constantly strived to push myself to get the grades I wanted to be proud of. I was part of a couple activities

Since deciding to attend law school, I have sought a position at a large company where I could utilize my education and work ethic to build a career. Additionally, I have looked for an environment that would allow me to continue to develop both personally and professionally. In working as an attorney for the past two years, I have found a great interest in the field of taxation. Though approaching taxation from a legal perspective has exposed me to a variety of tax issues, I have realized that my interest lies in the numbers behind the taxes.

For a start, having the opportunity to be part of the SOCW 6371 Community and Administrative Practices class has broadened my mind-set when viewing social work practices through a macro lens. In addition, I have learned the skill of assessing the community as the target population/concentrated area via a needs assessment. Equally important, realizing the magnitude of work/planning it takes to formulate a program or redesigning one has made me understand the importance of why we should acquire the proper training and administrative practices to be able to lead organizations/agencies.

For corporations and individual tax filers alike, filing one’s taxes is no small feat due to the tax code’s complexity and volume. The number of laws, exclusions, exemptions, credits, taxes, deductions, and revisions are more than any one person

This helped me to understand what i needed to know about taxes. So now i know what insurance and taxes i should fill out rather than me not knowing. It helped understand the differences between the three taxes like Federal Income Tax, State and/or Local Tax and Payroll tax.

Every year we are faced with the undesirable task of filing taxes. While the non-profit sector may not necessarily be entrepreneurial in nature, it does not mean they are entirely exempt of the taxation burden especially for those who are employed receiving salaries versus those volunteering their time for free. I would like to discuss a tax issue regarding volunteer mileage rate. Volunteers who use their personal vehicle to perform work for a nonprofit are only allowed deducting 14 cents per mile while the standard business mileage rate is currently 57.5 cents per mile for the current year 2015. Volunteering is more than just doing something for free. It is taking someone’s skills and utilizing them to help the community without the

During my time at Florida State University, I want to achieve my goal of earning my Accounting and Finance degree, while also staying involved with the community. By being involved in Hall Council and transitioning to a Resident Assistant, I am not only influencing someone’s experience at my university, but I am also developing and finding myself as a person. With my first year finished, I would love to continue my journey forward at Florida State while also figuring out who is Fatou Wane and what is she capable

Last winter season, I had the opportunity to participate in the United Way free tax preparation campaign. I really liked this experience because I gave back to my community! Personally, I was glad to help an elderly woman who was very sick, and she had no faith in having back anything on her tax return. Once I finished with her tax return I could not believe the amount of money that was shown in the system, so I called my supervisor to do a review of my report. After a thorough review, my supervisor said, “Good for you! Your tax return shows that you will get back $9000.” That made me very happy because the lady had a lot of debt, hopefully, that money would have paid off.

During tax season many American lives are complicated and literally put on hold due to the stress and demand of taxes. Americans discover the tax code to be terribly confusing and frustrating, and often citizens become very stressed. Many turn to alternative solutions of tax configurations to take the load off of them, but come to realize that these services are rather expensive and sometimes inaccurate. Our country’s standard of living has also been decreased as a result of our nation’s taxes. Tax percentages are so elevated and exemptions are so minimal, it is virtually impossible for anyone to prosper and get ahead in our world today.

While going to Cal State University, Fullerton, Sergio, the funder and managing owner, started to volunteer for Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA). VITA is an IRS program that helps low income families to do its income tax returns. While volunteering at VITA, Sergio realized that he liked to help individuals navigating through the tax regulation maze. So, he graduated with an accounting degree from Cal State University, Fullerton.

Virginia Tech is a demanding university that has high expectations of its students. While VT was a challenge, upon graduation I gained employment with Fidelity’s global security organization and am in the company’s top 20% performance level after my first full year with them. In speaking with my management, Fidelity agreed to support me academically and financially towards a master’s degree with VT. With my undergraduate in information technology, I work full

The St. Mary’s University School of Law Foundation established the Academic Excellence Endowed Scholarship in order to assist students with a record of academic excellence and leadership. Given the criteria of LSAT scores, prior grade point average, undergraduate curriculum, and leadership qualities, I believe that my body of work exemplifies the qualities required of this scholarship. According to the 2015-2016 class profile, my GPA and LSAT score fall above the 75th percentile of first-year students. In partnership with my position as the President of a funded startup company focused on promoting financial literacy and entrepreneurship in underserved areas, I believe that I have exhibited my desire to learn, lead, and ability to

“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 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. There seems to be a consensus among accounting professors and scholars that the VITA
