The Volunteer I Called Upon To Do My Assignment Was Marquita

Why Focusing Too Narrowly In College Could Backfire by Peter Cappelli was very detailed about the author’s points in today’s society. I enjoyed reading this passage, because I agree with the author that there are not enough guaranteed jobs out there for students after they graduate. I have been experiencing this first hand because I will be graduating in May, and the job field is tough and very competitive. The author’s thesis in the passage is clear, “The economy is still shaky, and many graduating students are unable to find jobs that pay well, if they can find jobs at all.” I believe that professors need to tell their students more and prepare them more that the economy is very unstable at all times, and no job is ever promised or promised

For some students, the question of what to do after high school may be a burden to even contemplate as it approaches quicker and quicker. The pressure to continue another four (or more) years of education after high school can be overwhelming considering twelve years of schooling has already been completed; why go right back to school again? When’s break time? Some people are simply just not ready for college and they know it, or at least until after they have had a long break or have had some time to recollect themselves. Technically speaking college isn’t for everyone, nor is it necessarily needed for a career. Luckily today, there are many other options that potential career seeking beings can get a head start on such as community colleges and trade/vocational schools. These alternatives to a four year college are considered to be a good start on a job (and maybe even a career). The best benefits of these alternatives involve the cost of attending, the student environment, and the degrees offered.

Student need to do what they love. Find something that they will want to study or risk never being successful because they’ll be bored with their job. College has a huge variety of programs that can be studied so chances are there is one out there for everyone. If students find something they love to do then college really won’t be too difficult and they will like their job afterwards. “Education is about finding out what form of work for you is closest to being play” (Edmundson), jobs should be something enjoyable, almost like having fun doing a hobby. People need to do what they love so they won’t be bored or held back by their lack of enthusiasm and excel to and move up in the workplace being more and more successful.

My commitment to my goal of receiving a Master’s degree in counseling has been demonstrated throughout my studies at Rollins by maintaining a GPA of 4.0, my willingness to support my cohort, and by exhibiting an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Although I had retired on a fixed income from a business career due to a disability, I have confirmed my potential, stamina, and desire to counsel through my volunteer work as a guardian advocate, working with people who suffer from addiction, and by remaining an advocate for the LGBTQ community. I have thrived with my undergraduate internship at the Center for Drug Free Living and with my prepracticum at Centaur.

“Naropa is a buddhist founded university, and a lot of people, when they’re asked why they chose to go to Naropa, will say that Naropa chose them, and I think that is the same for me,” She says. When she began looking at colleges in high school, the two things she knew was that she wanted to be in Northern California, and she wanted it to have a program that was about humanitarian stewardship. She looked and many colleges but couldn’t find one that really reeled her in. But then her college career counselor directed her to Naropa, and it was almost exactly what she was looking for. Delaney is currently in her junior year at Naropa, and is in an interdisciplinary major with concentrations in peace studies and scientific psychology. An interdisciplinary degree is taking two or three concentrations, and by studying peace studies and scientific psychology simultaneously, she studies how they overlap and when they do, what they create. Studying them also allows her to get a degree in humanitarian work. Delaney also has a job as a personal and private assistant for a man that is on the board of directors for her university who has many good connections and owns a startup company. Her parents pay her rent and her cell phone bill, but Delaney pays for her utilities, groceries, car insurance, school supplies and textbooks. She also nannies an eight-month-old baby

“I want to slow down and enjoy the little things in life that she never appreciated.” she told me. She wants to worry less about what she can’t control and just enjoy what life has to offer. This is a good lesson for everyone. Somethings can be overlooked because they are small but it doesn't mean they are less important. It has also changed her a person. While she was in and out of the hospital she got see how hard working and caring the people working the medical industry were. “Everybody in the hospital were so great and would go out of there way to help me. It was really amazing.” If possible, she wants to get involved in the medical industry because of how great they were to her.

After graduating from Wright State University, with her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, her initial plan was to become a Therapist. But over the years, pursuing

We began the interview by discussing Megan’s schooling and history. Megan graduated from Brigham Young University Idaho with a Bachelor’s degree in social work. Megan informed us that social work had not always been her first career choice. Originally Megan had planned to become a teacher, however like most college students she changed her mind as well as her major a few times. Megan went on to explain that she considered majoring in sociology or marriage and family studies however she chose social work instead because she believed it would be a more marketable and beneficial degree. Megan has worked very closely with senior citizens since she graduated with her Bachelor’s degree many years ago. Megan stated that she loves the population she works with and wants to continue working in the senior care industry.

Shenitta Niles is on her third semester at Roxbury Community College. She got her high school diploma back in 2011 from Charles Town high school. She originally started out at Bunker Hill Community College, but later transferred to Roxbury Community College due to the low cost, convenience and transportation. Although she is a mother of a young child, she attends the college full time pursuing a major in early childhood education. Constantly being around her daughter and other young children has inspired her to pursue that career. She isn’t sure on the type of field she hopes to work at once she finishes her associate’s degree, but she will continue on to a four year college pursuing this path. Nevertheless, a long term goal of hers is to

Going to college and receiving a degree does not guarantee that a person is going to get a job right after they graduate. It is sometimes hard for some graduates to find a good job because there is so much competition with other graduates as well. Sometimes they may get a job and it could be in a totally different field of what they got their degree for. They must find a job though to pay off all the debt that an education has given them.

For a split second I caught myself reconsidering my future that I have thought for so long I had all figured out. As the President of the Ole Miss chapter of AMSA began the meeting, I found myself starting to relax a little. I listened to all the things that most medical school reviewers look for on a transcript and application, and all the things she talked about were offered through this organization or were made much simpler with the aid that it provides. The speaker went on to say that AMSA was not simply a “medical school prep”, but it was heavily involved in community service. Following the speech by the President, Dr. Gray got on stage to tell us about his experience as a member of the review board at the University of Arkansas Medical School, and he shared some of the things that he, as a reviewer, found as positives and negatives in an application. When the meeting was coming to an end, we were encouraged to join the national chapter of AMSA as well as the Ole Miss

Nicole Seelert continues to excel in and outside of school. As a senior, getting ready to apply for colleges and leaving a place that we've gotten so used to can be a bit nerve racking, but for Nicole, she is nothing but prepared and excited for what her future has in store for her. This year she is looking forward to see what college she will be attending as acceptance letters come in. For fun, she loves to spend time with her family and her friends because they are the people she can be the most open with. In school, she is currently involved in the Red Cross Club and has recently started volunteering for the city of Chino. In the future her goal is to become a cardiovascular nurse or a per fusionist. With her determination, there is nothing

Brian and Taylor discuss what they knew about being successful as student’s .The most importing thing was to me is learn yourself as much you can to be successful in your job. When you have a job in example they not going to show you how to do it if you do know, you need to teach yourself how to do it and forget it out, because the future is wildly unpredictable. The best way to improve your options is to continually learn as much as you can in fields that are complementary to your main interests. It would to say, don’t wait for doors to open. Open them yourself by being persistent and thinking strategically about your career.

In today’s world, the post-secondary program you choose will be the pathway to your future career as it is suggested by society, but is university really a guarantee pathway to the career/job you wish to have? The article “' The millennial side hustle,' not stable job, is the new reality for university grads” by CBC News, talks about how students who have recently graduated face problem unemployment and unstable employment. The aspect of the article that really appeals to me is the story of Christian McCrave since he has studied the same program as I wish to. Christian is a 21-year-old who had recently graduated from the University of Guelph with a mechanical engineering degree. He had thought he was going to get the jobs he wanted. “McCrave

four years ago, in the hope that my father’s health would improve, I encountered many obstacles that have motivated me to help my community. My family and I have felt the sting of discrimination because of our skin color, culture, and Mexican accent. However, this has only emboldened me to reach for my dreams and aspirations and work towards a higher-level education to help and support those who also face difficult obstacles in order to reach their goals. When I began to volunteer with different organizations and discovered the tremendous need of healthcare, education, food, and hygiene supplies that exists, I learned that one must help their own community for all to succeed and obtain what they deserve. I observed that there is not just crucial need for better health care and nutrition in our state, but a tremendous need for homeless shelters and food banks that can support low-income families. Even though I was not born in this city, Albuquerque has become my community and my home and I have become attached to the people who day by day work exceedingly hard to give the best to their families. Since little, my dream has always consisted of attending college to become a health care provider to help those people who are struggling with health issues, such as my father. I want to motivate other students to believe in their potential and reach their goals despite the economic and social barriers one may face. For me this is the power of a higher-lever education: improve our quality of life and the one of those around
