...In 2002, Rafael Alvarez founded Genesys Works to fulfill his vision of improving the futures of low-income high school students while introducing a new stream of diverse workers to corporate America. Realizing a nationwide need for opportunities like Genesys Works, Mr. Alvarez expanded his program to multiple cities in the United States. Genesys Works has successfully placed over 1400 Houston high school students into meaningful internships. The success and potential of this great company depends on many factors. The local business offices has to have a want and a need for future interns. The program only works if there are companies that would like to better the communities that they are in, by partnering up with Genesys Work. That company has to be willing to train and pay compatible wages for the type of work that interns will be performing. Each intern will be working approximately 20 to 25 hours a week. No longer “charity as usual,” Genesys Works interns perform value-added services, breaking the paradigm of the traditional high school internship while providing corporate executives with the opportunity to create a better prepared and more diverse workforce. No longer is this a choice between shareholder return vs. what is good for the community. The Genesys Works model allows companies to do both. School districts has to be willing to allow their curriculum to have flexibility. The programs guarantees that the intern will be working between 20 to 25 hours a week. That...

...My overall impression on my speech was better than I anticipated. I was very nervous and anxious to get the speech over. I could tell that in the pace of my speech. I was rushing through it and at times it was hard for me to keep track of my place on the outline. I thought I gave good eye contact and I stayed on the speech path, but I could have projected my voice more so that it would have been easier to hear and understand what I was saying. I felt that the delivery was good but I could have moved around more and gave more hand gestures to keep my speech alive. Although I didn’t feel it was a boring speech, I feel like I still tell showed how nervous I really was by the body chemistry I gave off. I prepared a lot for the speech and I went over the speech 3 times in front of the camera at home. I think this helped me a great deal because I had full knowledge of what my speech was about. Because I was nervous and rushing through my speech I often lost my place on my outline, but was able to wing it because I had practiced. It helped a lot that I did my speech on a topic that I am very familiar with and used to talking about. I also used the technique in the chapter that tells you that when you are nervous take a deep breath and use a focus word, mine was “Money”. This technique helped me a great deal in the beginning because I actually felt overwhelmed and on the verge of an anxiety attack. Using this technique calmed me down and made me able to deliver my speech. ...

...PROCEDURE FOR WRITING A TERM PAPE A term (or research) paper is primarily a record of intelligent reading in several sources on a particular subject. The task of writing such is not as formidable as it seems if it is thought out in advance as a definite procedure with systematic perpetration. The procedure for writing such a report consists of the following steps: 1. Choosing a subject 2. Finding sources of materials 3. Gathering the notes 4. Outlining the paper 5. Writing the first draft 6. Editing the paper Now let's look at each of them. CHOOSING A SUBJECT Most good papers are built around questions. You can find subjects in any textbook. Simply take some part of the text that interest you and examine it carefully. Ask yourself the following things about it to see if you can locate a question to answer in your paper. Does it tell you all you might wish to learn about the subject? Are you sure it is accurate? Does the author make any assumptions that need examining? Can two of the more interesting sections in the text be shown to be interrelated in some useful way? Your paper is an attempt to write a well-organized answer to whatever question you decide upon, using facts for the purpose of proving (or at least supporting) your contention. The most common error made by students in choosing a subject for a term paper is to choose one that is too general. (The most specific subject will always have enough aspects to furnish a long paper, if you think...

...I am applying Business as my major degree this time. Since I am a very energetic and challenging-like person, learning and working in competitive environment are very appealing to me. The reason for applying business major is very simple. It is no doubt that I have huge passion towards business after I took many business-related courses. In addition, I had gotten more familiar with these kinds of stuff after I did some internship, which provided me a very good opportunity to build my confidence in pursuing business-related jobs after college. In particular, I feel interested in real estate, marketing, and finance areas. Not only I have been almost done all the courses in business major requirement, I am participating in JBS Real Estate Development this summer, which gives me a glimpse and affords me a substantial connection between the college and the work after college. Despite what many believe, business is not only about its glossy brochure, its fancy product, and its precise financial report. It extends to its employees, customers, the media and even the general public. Honestly, I am a kind of person who is eager to work with people, communicate with people and even negotiate with people. Last year, I declared Psychology as one of my major and almost done all requirements as so far. I certainly believe that Psychology and Business are a good combination in knowing how to work with people, and how to get into social networks well in the future. Besides my good academic...

...If I could choose one thing that I would like NSCS help me achieve then I would choose that to be obtaining an internship. I believe that internships are a crucial factor to getting students the real world experience that many college students lack coming out of graduation. Most students will get to do an internship but it may not be in the field that they would like to begin a career in. Even then it isn’t pointless but I think they could have put their time into an internship where they felt like they had something to work for or had something to prove. If I had an internship in the field that I one day planned to someday land a career in I would work my hardest every day to prove to the employer that I have what it takes and that I am willing to make sacrifices for the betterment of the company. Internships can help break the loop of college students having no experience because they can’t get a job because they have no experience. NSCS could be a tremendous help to all the chapters around the nation by providing events such as private career fairs, mixers, and different social events that will get students that face to face contact with employers. Being that the members of NSCS are nationally recognized most companies wouldn’t hesitate to give us a chance to prove ourselves in an internship opportunity. This is just one of the many ways that NSCS could help out all of its members across America and I’m sure that there are plenty of others that would agree with my idea. Working...
