The Friedman reading provides a list of core values. Identify three to five values that are most important to you and explain how these values have influenced key decisions you have made in your life. At a young age of 13, my parents decided it was time to move to United States so that they could provide me with better facilities as well as education. My parents always hoped and dreamed that their son would go into the field of science and eventually healthcare. After a few years, when I was applying for college I had a huge decision to make, follow the dreams and wishes of my parents or stand up for my interests. The core values that influenced the decisions I made were: Family, Achievement, Courage, and Inner harmony. Family holds a high value in my life. My parents wishes means a lot to me. My dad had always dreamed of their sons to go in the field of science. Unfortunately, my brother did not follow his wish and decided to go for graphic designing. I felt obligated to fulfill my father’s wish. When I was applying for college I decided I was going to start off as biology major. Therefore, one of the biggest decisions of my life was based on the core value of family. Enrolling in a college as Biology major was just the beginning. I never even thought of how difficult it would be to study for something I was not interested in. There came a point in my life where I was so frustrated with my life, and was not happy with what I was doing. I had a major debate in my head
At 17 years old, I had the grueling task of deciding how I wanted to spend 40 plus years of my life. I always aspired to land a career in the medical field, so I majored in biology like most pre-med hopefuls, but during my junior year, I no longer desired to become a physician. The medical field was calling out to me, but the specialty of focus was incorrect. After graduation, I went back to the basics and put my nursing assistant certification to use.
My parents Immigrated from Poland to the United States in search for better opportunity for the children that they planned to have. When my parents finally made the move, they started with nothing and no one to turn to; they did not even know how to speak English. All my parents knew for sure was that they were going to raise three children in America and do all they could possibly do to motivate and make them passionate for school. My parents have always wanted their children to achieve the careers of their dreams and be able to support their own family as well as be happy with their lives. My parents have struggled with money their entire lives, which is another reason why they did all they could to get to America and motivate their children for schooling. They did not want their children to struggle with money the way that they did. But this led another issue, affording college. My parents did not have enough money for their children to attend college. Because of this, I have done my best in school to earn outstanding grades and do my best to earn scholarships.
Getting an education is extremely important in my family because it signifies hard work. No one in my immediate family has attended college yet and I would like to be the one that ends this cycle and graduates college. College is also important in my family because they believe that this will ensure that I will have a stable future and this is crucial to me.
I was told, at the age of thirteen, that the U.S. was the land of opportunities. My parents came here from Peru, so we could pursue the American dream. Despite the challenges encountered, while incorporating into a new society, my parents constantly encouraged me to overcome any difficulties. They taught me the value of hard work, which is necessary to achieve my goals. Watching my parents work long hours in menial labor jobs for the past 11 years, has inspired me to strive for a professional education.
My family is important to me because they love, care, and believe in me. Though we may not have a large abundance of money, my parents love me no matter how rich or poor we are. My mother has been very supportive with my education. When I was about 12 years old, I remember telling my mother that I wanted to attend Oxford University and become a neurosurgeon. Since then,
Education has always been an important foundation upon which my family encouraged the most. Not just the education pertaining to structured schooling, but the fundamentals in life that require you to interact in society and be a part of something bigger than yourself. They demonstrated how to commit to values such as responsibility, motivation, and consistency; and, how to be open-minded and passionate about the things you believe in. These things all required a sacrifice in various ways. They always stress how “sometimes you need to give up something to get ahead, or how sometimes sacrificing the familiar and what you expect from yourself to get the results that you are seeking in the long run.”
Drugs, promiscuous sex, birth control, and total happiness are the core values of the World State in the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. In today’s society things like drug use and reckless sex are often seen as taboo, but in World State, these activities are glorified and even considered normal. Aldous Huxley attempts to address to readers the harsh realities and cruel ways of our society in an exaggerated form. His purpose in doing so is to open the eyes of society to what the world might come to if things like technology and humanity get out of hand. In the World State, the motto that people are conditioned to live by is “Community, Identity, and Stability”, all three of which are ironically twisted to encourage members of the society
As I began college, I decided not to choose a major at first. It was not until the beginning of this semester that I declared Biology as my major. I have always been interested in science, and it has always been one of my best subjects. Since I was little, my dream has been to become a doctor. As I have taken more classes, trying to weed out what I do and do not like, I have discovered that sciences are what interest me the most. Currently I have an emphasis in pre-professional studies which means that my major is leading me to attend a medical school after I graduate from Arkansas State University.
Identify some core values of this organization as best as you can. What do they believe in (beyond organizational success or profitability)? How might their revealing these values to customers and employees create opportunities to exceed expectations? How can they translate core values into actions to produce A-plus value, thus strengthening relationships?
Family identity is important to develop who they will be in the world, a family's values, goals and vision help build a strong foundation that will mold someone into a productive member of society. Family relationships are the building blocks that lead to strong moral values. Respect, honesty and trust are all developed with family members. The stronger the bond in the family, the stronger the moral values will be as a person grows up. If the family doesn’t have strong values, skills will develop based off the environment. This can be a tough thing to learn, not
I am blessed to have a family that have supported me throughout my four years of undergraduate school.My strive to do well and graduate from college was very important to me. I have broken a cycle that we have had for many generations in the family; I became the first female in my entire family to graduate from college. Through my hard work, late nights and dedication I was on the honor roll, accepted in in Gamma Pi Mu and graduated with 3.2 GPA. I believe in giving back to my community. I am a certified dance instructor of 22 years and dedicate some of my talent teaching private lessons to unprivileged children.
My mother and my aunts made sure that I graduated high school, completed college in four years, and finished graduate school. My mother believes that getting an education is the most important requirement to being successful. Some people, looking in from the outside, may feel that my family pushes me to hard; and when I was younger I thought the same thing. However, now that I am older I appreciate the push and constant motivation. If it was not for my family, I would not be where I am today. I have always wanted to follow in my aunts footsteps and become the second doctor in the family. Between her and my mother, they have support me financially and provided me with other necessities to continue to move forward. I have set my focus on many short term goals in order to reach my long term goals. There are days that I want to give up, but I know the hard work will pay off
colloquial style/ton indeed built a relationship with the reader, in this case even more because I took a globalisation class and can easily relate to the subject of this super-story.
In most cultures, family plays a big role in one’s life. Family helps shapes people into who they become by giving
My family means everything and more to me. They are my support, backbone, and give me the motivation to put forth my best efforts in everything I do. When I decided to start a new path after my Marine Corps career, going to school was one of many options I had. With the encouragement and support of my family I made the choice to go back to college eventually pursuing my dreams of attending TCU. When I made that choice I made a commitment to them to be the best student possible. My first year in college was an experience that was different than anything I was used to but I stayed true to my commitment earning academic honors, and scholarships. Every decision I make I do so with my family in mind.
