One time that I implemented a new idea was when I was working a vice-president role of a volunteering organization at my high school. I came up with the idea to create a Sock & glove drive for those less fortunate as during the winter times, a lot of homeless people don’t receive gloves or socks and that is the reason why some of them can get so cold during the winter time. Before deciding to do specifically a sock and glove drive over just a clothing drive, I talked to various homeless shelters to see what their opinion was on what articles of clothing were needed most. After we had decided on the drive, I had reached out to more shelters including goodwill, Lazarus house, and some women’s shelters, to see if they would be interested in us
My manager had assigned me a challenging individual task to come up with an innovative project idea that can solve current business problem. At first, I was blank on how to go for it, since not having any project requirement details and user experience background. But, with the growth mindset and never to give up attitude, I accepted the challenge
I have challenged the status quo. When I ran into problems that doesn’t make sense to me, I ask questions to understand why it is not working and make adjustments if needed to resolve it. My previous employer encouraged us to challenge the status quo, and rewarded great ideas. This gave me the freedom to express
The primary focus of this exhibition is Archibald J. Motley Jr.’s Mending Socks, an oil painting created in 1924 currently located at the Ackland Art Museum. Depicting Motley’s grandmother across a 43.875 x 40 inches (111.4 x 101.6 cm) frame, Mending Socks exhibits a familiar setting complimented by bold colors. Such colors immediately draw the eye to the grandmother, then to the socks on her lap. One then looks to the table, to the fruit overflowing from the bowl, eventually falling on the background. Trailing along, Motley’s grandmother is the off-center grounding of the piece, proving a strong, soothing, and familiar image of relaxed family settings. Behind her, however, are subtle reminders of white power.
Is there an issue in your community that is causing problems and making people's lives harder? For inspiration, let me tell you about some big community issues and the people who solved them. In the book, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, by William Kamkwamba, William finds a book about windmills and makes his own for his community helping to solve their water, electricity, and famine problems. In the book, Fever 1793, by Laurie Anderson, a doctor named Dr. Rush tries to save a patient and in the process discovers that the yellow fever virus is what is violently killing the people of Philadelphia. William Kamkwamba influenced events and impacted society with his ideas and by solving problems in his local community.
My project was to build three park benches for the Pets Alive dog walk area. This is where volunteers can walk the dogs and give them much needed out of kennel time. The volunteers/dog walkers can now sit and rest on the benches that me and my crew built and enjoy a more leisurely experience outside with the dogs.
The Women's Shoe Carousel with Shaft Closet is a great way to organize shoes, so they don't end up in a pile on the floor.
Kinky Boots is a stunningly flashy Broadway musical that tugs on the heartstrings with its equally stunning clichés. With its plot originally conceived as a British film in 2005, the stage production was not produced until 2012 and was based on the book written by Harvey Fierstein. Furthermore, the show did not find its way to Broadway until 2013. When it debuted, the show opened to critical acclaim with Billy Porter and Stark Sands originating the roles of lead characters Lola and Charlie. Since its Broadway debut, Kinky Boots has been a smashing commercial success. Over the years, Kinky Boots has swapped out the actors in its cast many times. However, the original leading actors of the show, Billy Porter and Stark Sands, have returned once again to play Lola and Charlie in 2017.
When writing down my brainstorming only some people, events, or places popped out at me. When looking for people I was looking for those who made a great impact. I have 2
This report introduces an experiment that shows how socks change the amount of heat that is lost in through feet. Some people believe the myth that most of a person’s body heat is lost through their head, but this is not the case. Scientist claim that 20% of body heat is lost through feet, meaning it is important to find ways to keep that heat. Supposedly socks act as an insulator, trapping the natural warmth and therefore not letting as much heat escape. I hypothesize that barefeet will transfer more heat to a surface than a feet wearing a socks will.
I raised money for scholarships to camp; helping hundreds of kids come to camp that would be unable to afford it otherwise. Development of a diverse staff was important to me. So I recruited, interviewed and hired central city staff to be part of camp. This involved going to their neighborhood for interviews because they had no means of getting to camp.
Napoleon Hill stated ideas are the beginning points of all fortunes.

Same as this American author stated by having a successful idea you can open doors to new opportunities and attract fortune. The idea is like a new product which can be applied to a new business. The more successful the product is the better results it will give in the
I have a friend who came to me a year or so ago with this awesome business idea. And he began to share this idea with me and how excited he was for it.
At the end of the short story “One Little Sock,” the woman is considered a mother according to the following definition, “a mother is a woman who makes sacrifices for her child[ren], is a female who cares for her child[ren], has one or more children, and has a significant impact on the life of the child[ren].” To begin, the woman is a mother as she cares for her child. When she is giving birth, she says, “ease the pain… it hurt enough,” implying losing her child hurt her. One can not be hurt to lose something unless he/she loves, likes, or cares for it, proving the mother cares for her child. Additionally, the woman makes a significant impact on the child’s life. The woman carries and nurtured the unborn child, feeds the child, and passes on
Our assignment is to create and promote an innovative product. In developing a new product, we started with an idea generation. This is a systematic search for new-product ideas. Companies go through many ideas before they come to find some good ones. We had to do the same thing. We thought of many ideas on our own. It was more of an internal idea source as opposed to going outside of our partnership for ideas. Our first idea was a restaurant with half of it an actual restaurant and the other half an automobile tuner shop. The next idea was a new energy drink that would be less costly and better tasting. Our next idea came up when we were sitting
