All I can do is stare at the clock. Since 7:20 in the morning I’ve been waiting for the bell to ring at 2:20 in the afternoon. I know I go to one of the top nationally ranked schools, Coral Reef High School, but wow, I am sure eager to finish up my junior year. This summer is going to be different; I’m going to complete my internship at the South Florida Educational Federal Credit Union (SFEFCU). In Coral Reef you have to be part of a magnet program, I’m in business and very well known in the academy. Most people see my face at events, meetings, and around the business hallways doing my job as Vice President for the business club: Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). Everyone expects more from an FBLA officer, which made me so proud to be an intern at the SFEFCU. They only accept 16 out of 300 business students and each intern has to pass three tests, and two interviews- very prestigious. The bell finally rang and now I’m free to summer.
The sweet atmosphere of the SFEFCU Kendall branch makes working for them a pleasure. I met all the other 12 interns and we instantly became best friends. The first three days are amazing. I feel so intellectual knowing how a credit union is ran and knowing I’ll be able to do hands on work by next week. Except it isn’t at the Kendall branch but Homestead, my surprise placement I didn’t even know existed. I was so confused that I requested to switch to Kendall, not much of a change was possible but I would be able to spend two days at
As my high school career ends, I notice increasingly how much life that I have yet to live and the opportunities available to me in the years ahead. The past four years have been great preparation for my future endeavors, but college is the path leading to my full potential. In order to reach the end of this path, I utilize my most valuable trait—determination—to set short and long-term goals and achieve them. It is with this “can do” spirit—like the one my grandpa, a former Navy Seabee, evinces through his stories—that I have set my personal goals: to volunteer my time in service to others, further develop leadership skills through experiential learning, and excel at my school work no matter how challenging it may seem. Though these may
Obtaining regular health checkups is vital to our survival; these checkups are necessary to monitor, maintain and improve our health. Did you know that it is equally important to perform periodic checkups on your company? Financial statements are a key component that allows us to track a company’s overall health and progress.
Internship week 5, I chose this week to do my training with Finance department since I know it’s one of the most important departments in any organization. So I started it by attending a meeting that was between the employees from different departments to discuss and to update with each other’s for the coming event “the flag day”. They had to find solutions for the issues they’re facing and give suggestions to improve it. After the meeting the director of finance department asked me to call some suppliers that have to work with the foundations in their big project. I and the suppliers agreed that they will come and will meet them to explain more about the project. Met them and gave them soft and hard copies of the exact details to work on

Although Pensacola Christian College and Academy maintain many unique strength, but some weakness become obvious under globe business setting. One of the biggest weakness which is the core reason for this proposal that is foreign to many people. Three separate but similar surveys had been conducted during research. Three international students group from Asia are Chinese, Indonesia, and Korea. Twenty-five people from each group had been asked to answer to a same questions: “How do you know about Pensacola Christian College?” The results of surveys indicate that on one ever heard any advertise about Pensacola Christian College before they came. In addition, Chinese students know about Pensacola Christian College and Academy because of their
Miami Dade College is a government funded educational institution that started more than 50 years ago as a community college, with only one campus, and has grown to eight campuses, offering associates, bachelors degrees, and professional certificates.
Interning with the Fist Judicial District of Pennsylvania (FJD) has been a rewarding experience. I have been able to grow as an individual, personally, as well as professionally. I have improved my writing portfolio, by adding serious content and focusing on internal communications. Interning during the fall semester has been difficult at times; balancing an internship, full course load, and a job equals a lot of stress. Also, taking my capstone a semester early has added to a lot of pressure this semester. With all of my obligations, successfully managing my time has been extremely important. Now that it is the end of the semester, I am glad I took on many responsibilities this semester, because I was able to prove my hard work ethic to myself.
I am eager for what my future has in store for me. I am apprehensive about the obstacles i will have to overcome on my way to success. I have a great deal of support from my friends and family when it comes to what I am driven to do after graduating from Buckingham Charter Magnet High School. Throughout all the years of my school career, I have always been indecisive about what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Buckingham Charter Magnet High School has helped me finally decide that I wanted to go to Solano Community College to attend their Cosmetology Program.
May came around at long last. So did the end of my second semester of college at Florida Atlantic University. Not only did I survive my freshman year, I thrived, passing eight of my nine joint courses with A’s and getting A-minus on the other one. Just like “Neon” Leon shocked the departed Muhammad Ali in 1978, I defied my own expectations and those of a few among my closest friends and family. Did I soon spend the next few months indulging in summer merriment at the beach, getting my tan on while thirteen-year-old boys fawned over pictures of Selena Gomez? Nope. I took summer classes to keep my mind sharp and knock out a few of the requirements towards a degree which I’d earn three years later. One such class = a six-week crash course in public speaking. Everything went well until I got an assignment to create, practice, and deliver a three-to-five-minute speech involving someone who stood out. The possibilities overwhelmed me until I recalled someone with an outstanding life, hit him up on my cell, and talked to him in person one hot Saturday afternoon.
The alarm goes off at 5:30 AM. It’s the middle of summer vacation, a brief respite before returning to complete my final and rumored-to-be most stressful year of school. So what am I doing up so early, at a time when some of my classmates are just starting to fall asleep after staying up late to watch movies or hang out with friends? For three weeks, I spent over 12 hours a day at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, shadowing Dr. Tapan Kadia and Dr. Naval Daver, and researching in the hematopathology department. My devotion of time proved invaluable as my internship was the most inspiring experience, solidifying beyond a doubt my career choice.

Federal/State government financial aid is the main help for single mom to afford college education, the Pell Grant is the grant open to all students that meet a certain income requirements established by the federal government. The amount of financial aid for each single mom is different based on the need and having dependents (What Types of Tuition Assistance Are Available for Single Parents?, n.d.). Single mom is usually qualifying for a larger amount of grants than a traditional college student without children. The Pell Grant will provide through completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In addition, single mom living in Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, and Wisconsin can receive special help to
Second year arrived within the seemingly shortest time I could imagine. Reuniting with my friends, I was determined that even if my advisory had somewhat changed, I would make the most out of my year. “I still feel like a first year,” I told my friend-Selena-multiple times, receiving a chuckle in response. New first years were streaming the school, and I began to feel a new responsibility. This responsibility buzzed in my mind like a bee until carried out. I was now a leader. Although the opportunity was a somewhat rare occurrence, I took every chance with a great pride that warmed me from my head to toes. Yet, this
It was 2016, and I was finally a senior in high school. Being a senior in high school was something that I had dreamed of since my early middle school days, and at last, I was there. It was the last year in one of my least favorite environments, and I couldn’t wait to graduate and move away from the only place I had ever known. I had lived in the same town for seventeen years, and I had gone to the same school with the same people for thirteen years. I was looking forward to something new in my life. I was most excited for my senior year because it was the year that I was going to choose where I wanted to move away to and what school I wanted to spend the next four years of my life at. As the year moved along, I slowly realized that I wasn’t moving away and that I’d be staying home to attend college, which was one of the most difficult decisions that I ever had to make.
