...Taking Steps to Becoming a Successful Person and Student Gertrude Payton General Sciences 200 Instructor: Stephen Burgor September 16, 2014 The only individual who can determine my success or failure is me. Time management between my education and personal life will be a challenging responsibility as balance is needed. While taking advantage of every opportunity to use various tools and strategies available to help me gain knowledge and understanding in an effective way. I am taking steps to becoming a successful person and student through time management, hard work, determination, perseverance, along with accountability. Returning back to school has made me transition into a learning mode/mentality. The learning process is taking some adjustment as I have been out of school for many years. I know that I can succeed because I am motivated (Ellsworth, 1997). Some concepts and ideas are not always understood by me but I have found that I can begin to understand by reading, doing my assignments, and asking questions. Discouragement sometimes comes to me when things are not going exactly as I would like but I keep trying. This helps me to stay encouraged even in times when I want to quit or give up. I press ahead and stay positive. Although leadership may come calling without request, more often it comes to those who prepare for it by planning their careers (Andolsen, 2008). I decided to start planning my career by getting enrolled in school and research...

...1. Why are you interested in the position? When I first came to the University of Rochester I had no idea how I would pay for school. I quickly had to learn how to responsibly handle my finances and it is a skill that I use today. However, it is a daunting task to find a way to finance one's education. I believe that by taking this position, I can help others be more aware of their options when it comes to finances. 2. Why should you be picked to be a Salt Ambassador? Two of my previous positions required strong programming and interpersonal skills. With that in mind, I believe I have a strong background for promotion, event planning, and planning. 3. Do you have any experience with money skills and management? My money skills and mangement...

...a better opportunity to self promote. Empowerment is a little more in depth and requires more time. Time apparently seems to be an issue with women in the industry, so having the participation method I see would be more effective. They attend the same mettings and voice what they see fit. Thus, taking "less" time for women to prepare their thoughts and enables them to "self promote". Question Three: I feel that my husband and I are actually at that point in our life. We are both college students, full time associates, homeowners, and want a family. We often discuss what our options would be when it came to parenting. How are we going to balance home, work, and childcare? If we weren't on the same page with the future we would sit down and listen to each other. We both must look at the others thoughts as valuable and reasonable. We also need to know exactly what we want out of life and what we want in our careers. Being aware that we are currently in the "hole" financially with student loans, considering where we plan on going with our careers and our plans makes a huge difference on child bearing. We don't want to struggle. We want our children to have things they want, in moderation. We both want to be with larger coperations and...

...Sanders wanted colleges to be tuition-free but paid by taxing the Wall Street. Clinton says that tuition should be calculated by how much a family can afford to pay. O’Malley said that he wants to let people with student debts refinance their loans and that he would automatically enroll all borrowers in income-based repayment plans. He’d also like to limit tuition at four-year public colleges to 10% of a state’s median income. In my opinion, I would comply with Sander’s idea because Wall Street keeps all the money because they are very greedy. I’d also agree with O’Malley’s idea since it seems efficient and simple in my...

...1. List the fact. The boss, Mr. Hamid, owner of ESD, who was over 50 years old and an immigrant from Iran. He has experience on his work for so many years, and he founded the company ESD and the company became bigger after several years. ESD is a property management firm. The boss needed Shauna to transfer some accounting information into a new computer program. This job would take about two months. Shauna was a young student who got a part-tome job in ESD as a bookkeeper, and had worked several times before. The Boss often asked Shauna to work without saying thank you or please, but still sometimes praises her on her works. She thought she had present well on her job. Shauna didn’t notice Mr. Hamid that she might be absent on Monday to company with her family when her dad was sent to the hospital. Shauna just “informed” her boss what happened to her father. She didn’t ask Mr. Hamid permission or left any evidence to prove that Mr. Hamid agreed with her request. Mr. Hamid fired Shauna after the day she absent. The boss thought that Shauna didn’t ask for his permission and just left to hospital, he considered as she was irresponsible. Shauna confronted her boss when she was picking up her belonings. After some arguing the boss became angry and he yelled at Shauna to leave his office. 2. Make inferences about the facts.

...Before I could start an outline I had to take the R.I.A.S.E.C interest assessment to see what career would be perfect for me based on my skills that I have. i am well-skilled in investagating problems and analyze them to slove these problems; it's often good for students who are good in math and science. I am even good with influencing and persuading others, such as an idea in science. A skill that I didn't realized that I had is being organized when being well-detailed and like to work with data. This skill includes being able to follow directions, and also like working in creative situations, meaning to work in groups that brings in good ideas to the grouop, such as a peer group for a science debate. Once I figuired out what these skills met that I scored high on the assessement; I realized a science career would be right for me. I then thought since I loved collecting rocks, and studying the earth when I was young. I decided Geoscience would be a perfect career for me. Geoscience is a career that I am interested in, but it has a con that I would have to bare in order to be a. geologist. The con for this career is traveling a lot, because in this career I have to do field work. Since I want to be a volcanologist I would have to travel to places that had conditions of a volcano. It can be dangerious doing this type of work that is the other con for being a geologist.

...All budgets for the project have been depleted and yet there are several steps needed to complete the project that require funding. If the budget has been depleted and the project still requires funding, the project leader has to propose a plan to prioritize the tasks that has to be completed without affecting the project. The project leader should be able to figure out which of the customer priorities can be compromised and by how much. The WBS element has to be reviewed and reworked on with the new funding. Associated risks also have to be reviewed in case some of the tasks are eliminated. If the customer is willing to delay the project, because of budget constraints, then the project leader can cut some resources to manage cost and finish the project at a later date. The project leader should encourage the team to use cost effective measures for all the remaining steps of the project. It is important that the project leader motivates the team by appreciating their work completed so far and help them understand that the work they are doing is important and is likely to be successful if they give their best in the last steps of the project and that they will be rewarded fairly for their efforts. New information comes to light that radically affects the project’s scope; for instance, management has recently purchased equipment that functions more effectively than the project team’s solution. When controlling scope changes, project leaders need to be effective negotiators...

...Barry Cameron UIN # 00728497 FIN 317 Mon 4:20 SUCESSFUL RETIREMENT PLANNING THE DESIRE TO RETIRE Everybody looks forward to the day that they no longer have to fight traffic or deal with an unappreciative boss. A time when one can focus on more meaningful things in one’s life. Spending more time with family, traveling, hobbies, volunteer work, becoming more active in the community or church; or “do nothing” as forty percent of Americans plan to do upon retiring from the work force. Without the promise of retirement, many would find it very difficult to get out of bed and head to work each morning. “Retirement is a fairly recent phenomenon. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, few people retired, because they simply could not afford to do so. As white – collar jobs replaced a predominantly agricultural economy incomes rose and people had more money with which to retire” (Cullinane and Fitzgerald, 3). People began living longer and found that they had more leisure activities from which to choose from. In the United States, the invention of social security and company pensions greatly contributed to the ability of Americans to retire from the work force. RETIREMENT PLANNING Retirement Planning is an attempt to figure out how much money you need to save each month in order to have a comfortable retirement. It is an attempt because retirement planning requires you to try to predict the future. Nobody really knows what kind of return their...

There are 5 key factors in determining a good business location; Customer Accessibility is important in determining the location of the business. The business (retail outlet/service firms) needs to be situated where there is easy access. In companies where the cost of shipping or transporting of the finished good is high, consideration should be given to produce or manufacture goods closer to the consuming market due to the excessive transportation costs. Business Environmental conditions. There are several conditions to take into consideration, such as competition, crime, legal requirements, weather or climate which may create a need for other products or product testing conditions. Eg. Air conditioners, heated pools, specific security measures, etc. Resource Availability. For any operation to be efficient and sucessful there must be adequate resources available. Resources such as raw materials are not always available in all areas, therefore a business that deals with manufacturing these raw materials should be located close by. Also labour supply and availability and access to transport should be considered. Entrepreneur’s personal preferences.

Entrepreneurs may choose a local site or location with which they are...
