...come tonight. I hope you have had fun touring the whole school. Tonight you will be able to see all of the work I have done throughout this year. This class got strict at times, but in the end we got a lot of work done. I have enjoyed a lot of things we have done throughout the year. Literature was really fun because got to read three core reading books, which all had very good endings and I'm very glad we read them. We got to do a project called Coming of the Gods, which you will see on the walls. We got to write a bunch of essays, but the most fun ones were the persuasive essay and the evaluative essay. Sadly, we also had to do standards when we did something incorrect. In social studies, we got to do ancient empires and a China PowerPoint...

...our actions (Proverbs 12:17, Luke 8:15, Ephesians 4:28). Caleb Hullett This semester at Samford was one for the books. I was involved in things that I never thought would be possible. I enjoyed time with friends and I even made many new ones along the way. Though times got difficult and tempers flared, I am grateful for the opportunity I had this semester working with the Samford University football team. I was able to enjoy the comfort of being a coach instead of being a player for once. For so long it was me out there being the one the coaches were instructing, and this semester I was able to be the guy doing the instructing. It was such a blessing from God to be able to do that and I will be forever grateful for this opportunity. Coach Sullivan and the entire staff took me in and really helped me along the entire way and I have reached out to each individual in Sullivan Cooney Family Fieldhouse and thanked them for what they did for me. Nothing will ever take away what I was able to accomplish with the coaches and staff of Samford football. Throughout the process of my externship I was given an abundance of jobs to accomplish. Some of the jobs were to be done on my own, while others I had to work alongside the coaches. We had to come together and really grind it out sometime in order to get done what needed to be done. There were...

...extras will not only make your customers happy, but it can earn you a lot more income. How many times have I asked a lawn mowing company to get rid of weeds or move things only to be told I just mow lawns. Get a gardener if you want that. To me, that is a red flag and time to try someone else. I do not want to be following a lawn mowing contractor around moving things for him so he can mow. This is how your customers feel if you are just a lawn mower. For those who are happy to do a little more, think of this as an opportunity to take work from the ‘just a lawn mower’. Even if you are ‘just a lawn mower,’ there are ways to get things done without doing them. Read on. 72 Landscape Manager AND MAKE YOUR CUSTOMERS SMILE. It’s The Little Extras That Make A Good Landscape Maintenance Company. Why would you want to do more than mowing? Firstly, it gives you more opportunities to do more work in winter. It also allows you to charge more for those extras and make more money. Most importantly however, it makes your customers happier. If you are a larger company, it can get you more work. Like anything, doing extras can benefit from planning. Now, if you want to be ‘just a lawn mower,’ then plan to make this possible without getting under your customers’ skin. To be just a lawn mower, you will at least need to move things around to mow correctly. For example, move that hose or trampoline. However, the extras can be done by others, and you can still make money out of it. Organise a weed...

...Last night on a new episode of Return to Amish there was a lot of talk about Abe Schmucker getting dental work done. It was going to cost over $20,000 to get it done so Rebecca decided that it was time for her to get a job and help him pay for it. He went and saw the same dentist that helped Rebecca when she got her dentures done. Now Kate Stoltz is speaking out about how Amish people can get dental work done if they want to and she went to her Twitter to share her thoughts. Kate Stoltz shared her thoughts and said, "Just to make it clear... A lot of Amish go to dentists. It's not forbidden and usually if they don't it's because of trying to save money. There's this big misconception because of the show that Amish don't believe in dentists or doctors. Amish believe in necessary care. I have 3 brothers that even got braces to improve their teeth.. A lot of Amish people believe in preventative care." Abe made it sound like Amish don't do this and obviously he didn't as a child....

I want my kids to be proud of what I have done and I’m going to be successful especially because I have a wonderful family to back me up on it. There are many resources available to students at the University of Phoenix, and I intend to use them! The first one I would like to discuss is the center for Writing Excellence.

...improve on. This may be something personal, work related, or a study habit. My personal problem that I struggle with regularly is procrastination and poor time management. I have such a busy schedule most days that it is hard for me to balance my time in the best possible way. I have a primarily set schedule every day, so you would think that it would be easy to get into a routine and stick with it. That’s not the case for me. I have such little time to actually spend on myself that I sometimes let that time spill into time that I need to be studying, getting homework done, cleaning, doing laundry or something else productive. I always have a list of tasks that I want to accomplish during the week but I rarely get them all completed. Something else that’s more appealing to me always seems to steal me away from what I know that I should be doing. This leaves me rushing at the last minute to get everything done. Oddly enough, this tends to motivate me and I seem to work better when I know I have a tight time limit set. In order to be able to take steps to rid me of bad time management and procrastinating I need to determine what I do that wastes the most of my time. As well as eliminate the things that distract me most from being productive and accomplishing tasks in a timely matter. I have found that a lot of my time has been wasted doing little insignificant things instead of or during trying to accomplish tasks. I get caught up in things like playing games on my cell phone, getting...

...helpful when the amount of work I need to get done increases. From being in school full time and also having to run a house it takes much of my time and being able to multitask effectively makes my day easier. I think multitasking is great when it comes naturally, for some it might even be an advantage. Although some might believe that splitting your attention into different jobs causes work quality, I think it all depends on the task and what requires more attention. For me it’s all about time management and how my day is split and what my priorities are. I’m married and although school is important my husband comes first. Before it was so much easier to get home, eat a hot pocket and wait till my mom got home to cook but that’s not my life anymore and I get home to do what she did and what everyone takes for granted. My multitasking is caused by my busy schedule and the thing I most want to get to at the end of the day is my family and for that reason it’s just easier for me to get multiple things done at once. Multitasking at home means I can get more things done at a certain amount of time. At home I can wash dishes while I cook and also watch TV. Although I may not be completely focused on the TV I can get the dishes out of the way and also get started on either boiling or frying something. Being able to get the dishes out of the way makes it possible to have time left over after wards when I have less dishes to wash. I am able to do several things at a time without...

...unproductive loser. That’s why I like to pile on as many things as possible. But sometimes you can’t get it all done and, well, you feel like an unproductive loser again. That’s when good time management becomes important. Managing time is nothing new to me, but I’m always looking for a better way to do it. Of all the different methods and tricks that I’ve tried, I think these five are the ones that consistently work the best for me: 1. Just Say No to Facebook. It’s so tempting to log on, just to see troll through groups, check out who updated their status and who’s just now uploaded his or her new photos. But if you have a lot of work to do, you must avoid it! We all know the drill: you get on there just to check for new messages and the next thing you know, you’ve wasted two precious hours. I still haven’t really mastered this one, but when I am able to avoid Facebook , I get things done in much less time. 2. The Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with the First Step. This is actually my favorite one. As we all probably know, starting something we don’t want to do is often the hardest part of finishing it. To deal with this, I tell myself that I’m going to work on that statistics problem set for five minutes. At the end of five minutes, I say “just five more.” If you just do that a few times, you’ll build up the momentum to the point where it’s harder to stop than to keep going.” .This is a very effective way of getting things done, because it doesn’t take much inner strength to...

...senior with a set of skills that i had already, only looking to improve from there on. I thought to myself that i already was a great writer and that i didn’t need to improve on much. I was oh so wrong, there was a lot that needed to be improved on and thankfully through the course of this semester i have been able to improve on those things. The improvements came about from the different type of essays that we had to write and it brought a whole lot of strengths from it. Although in the past years we have learned on how to write a lot of these papers this year we dove a little more into them. We took different approaches to them to get more out of them than we had before, such as the personal narrative. I have written a personal narrative in the past but this time it helped me improve because i could not just be basic. I learned that i would have to write more in detail for it be a quality paper, that i couldn’t just get away with writing it like a 9th grader any more. The improvement was just as small as having to do with the intro and getting better with my attention getters. It benefitted me because we have to write intos in all of our papers and if you write an intro that can’t grab the attention, no one...

...it. I wish I would just get it done and not have to worry about it. So I want to discover ways to manage my time effectively and hopefully stave off the ability to procrastinate. The information that I will gather will be about time management skills, how to keep a schedule and how to say no. I will research using Google to find how other people manage their time, and what steps they take to keep to a schedule. I will also research how to best manage a busy schedule and make sure that everything that needs to get done is getting done and how to recognize when I am procrastinating and the steps I can take to avoid those traps. I will look at articles, e-books and forums for information and tips. For my selected problem it is not necessary to have scientific methods to help solve it, I almost think it best to learn from others with the same concerns and the steps they took to solve it. So I think the forums are probably my best bet. I will also look for polite ways to tell people that I am not available. Especially since this is one of the major factors for my procrastination. I tend to say yes, just because what I really need to do does not sound like as much fun. I am not looking for extensive research and scientists and studies done on this topic, what I am looking for is tried and true methods that have worked for other people. I will evaluate what has worked for other people and “cut and paste” them together to make them work for me. An example would be that...

...new piece of work. It may also be preparation for the next class. The amount of homework school students get varies a lot not only from country to country, or from school to school, but often from day to day. For most the amount of time spent on homework gets longer as we go through our school lives. At the start of primary school we get almost no homework but it is often several hours a day by the time we finish secondary school. The most important thing in this debate is not so much how much time is spent on homework but whether that time is wasted. If it is time well spent then having a lot of homework to do may not be a bad thing. The debate should therefore consider what else school children would do with that time. Another angle would be to look at whether school could replace homework with something that makes better use of time. For example in Britain the education secretary (the member of the government who controls education across the whole country) wants schools to scrap homework and instead have longer days in school. The affirmative: Homework teaches us to learn on our own The main aim of education is to prepare us for the rest of lives. Homework is teaching us a key skill that we will need in the future. When we do homework we are learning to work on our own, the discipline to get the work done without the teacher’s prompting, and when we come up against difficulties we learn how to overcome them without our teacher’s help. Millions of people work for themselves...
