...Being a leader is not limited to holding a high position in a team and being a leader does not only mean you have to be under certain organization with millions of followers rather one can still be a leader outside the perimeter of ones work area and one can even be a leader in ones own community. Success is always achieved together as a team but a team always needs a leader. Leadership is an ability and a talent that not everyone possesses and one has to be fair and righteous to be considered a good and effective leader. A true leader sets examples for his followers to follow. He does not tell his followers how to do things but tells them what to do and let them do it with the best of their ability. Leadership is an individual influencing a group to reach a certain goal. I discovered my ability to lead others when I was in my finance class. Being an accounting student, I am required to have some knowledge of finance. Before the semester started I heard from my senior friends that it’s a very hard class. Even after working hard students end up with ‘B’ grade. Still I took the class and after working hard I end up with “A” grade . I realized after studying the material first then student have a idea what to study and what not, so student end up doing bad because when they study the material for the first time they don’t give their full attention. So after the first test most of the students drop the class. One day in the class I asked one of my classmates if she interested...

I could have done great in presenting my lesson to the class if I had followed the necessary steps required for the delivery of an ideal lesson.

(Speaker notes) Being an immigrant coming into Hawaii is foreign to them as well as it is to understand certain beliefs those immigrants may have. Immigrants are misunderstood for people that would do any job because that is all they can get, but in fact work any job that a born U.S. citizen would not take because they know that is how to make money and that is something they already have worked in the country they are coming from. In fact there are those that are much more computer literate than some. Immigrants get misunderstood before anyone meet them because of their name. A person might be on the other end of the phone and because that person’s last name might be uncommon, one will treat them as a foreign. Which in fact that person end up being someone of our own race, ethnicity, and born in Hawaii.

...Prisons-Reentry One very important function of the corrections system is to assist inmates that are up for release from federal prison. Assistance is given by connecting these individuals to outside organizations for assistance. These organizations help to reduce recidivism rates. “The BOP contracts with residential reentry centers (RRCs), also known as halfway houses, to provide assistance to inmates who are nearing release. RRCs provide a safe, structured, supervised environment, as well as employment counseling, job placement, financial management assistance, and other programs and services.

...The Help: Chapter 1 Set in Mississippi in the early 1960′s, “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett is told from three alternating viewpoints. One narrator is Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan, a progressive young college graduate from an upper middle-class, white family who dreams of becoming a writer. Another narrator is Aibileen, a middle-aged African American woman who has been a maid her whole life and who has raised no less than 17 white children in the process. The last narrator is Minny, another African American maid in her thirties. Minny is Aibileen’s best friend, despite the fact that the two women could not be more different. All three women narrate around the same event: the publishing of Skeeter’s novel about working for white women. The story commences in August of 1962 in the kitchen of Elizabeth Leefolt. Aibileen is caring for Leefolt’s plump, two-year-old, Mae Mobley Leefolt, whom she calls Baby Girl. Aibileen's own son, Treelore, was killed months before she began working at the Leefolt residence. Treelore fell from a loading dock and was crushed under a tractor trailer. When the story opens it is the fourth Wednesday of the month, bridge club day, and Aibileen straightens up the house, manages Baby Girl, serves the women food, and overhears their conversation. The women discuss the upcoming Junior League Benefit, and Miss Hilly tells the women present, Elizabeth, Skeeter, and Hilly's mother, Miss Walter, about the Home Help Sanitation Initiative, a bill that requires a separate...

...The Help is a 2009 novel by American author Kathryn Stockett. The story is about African American maids working in white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The novel is told from the point of view of three narrators: Aibileen Clark, a middle-aged African-American maid who has spent her life raising white children, and who has recently lost her only son; Minny Jackson, an African-American maid whose back-talk towards her employers results in her having to frequently change jobs, exacerbating her desperate need for work as well as her family's struggle with money; and Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan, a young white woman and recent college graduate who, after moving back home, discovers that a maid that helped raise her since childhood has abruptly disappeared and her attempts to find her have been unsuccessful. The stories of the three women intertwine to explain how life in Jackson, Mississippi revolves around "the help", with complex relations of power, money, emotion, and intimacy tying together the white & black families of Jackson. A USA Today article called it one of 2009's "summer sleeper hits".[1] An early review in The New York Times notes Stockett's "affection and intimacy buried beneath even the most seemingly impersonal household connections" and says the book is a "button-pushing, soon to be wildly popular novel".[2] The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said of the book, "This heartbreaking story is a stunning debut from a gifted talent".[3] The...

A research question, which is more specific and focused than a general topic, is the question that you will answer in your paper. For example, if your general area of interest is Social Security, a potential research question might ask, “How might low-income families save more money under a reformed Social Security plan that includes personal retirement accounts?” As you develop a research question, keep in mind that you will research sources with both supporting and differing viewpoints. Do not select a narrow or one-sided issue that will limit your research; instead, develop a research question that lends itself to further exploration and debate. |What is your topic or area of interest? |My topic of interest is Drugs. | | | | | | | | | | |In what ways is this topic appropriate for a persuasive essay? |The way in which this topic is appropriate for a persuasive | | ...

William had the capability to convert people such as prostitutes and gamblers from non believers to believers. In 1872 he had about 1000 volunteers, and by 1885 numbers grew to 250,000 followers under the same Christian mission.

After reading and learning about the facts of Family of Woodstock, I became very interested in the working for the organization as I would like to take part of the people helping the young adults by providing my knowledge and skills. It is very difficult to prepare an organization as well as to understand the needs of the people. A person has to have the heart to be able to help others in need; otherwise that person will not be able to fully assist others. Family of Woodstock began as the founders found several factors that led them to create such an awesome organization. The people in need are the people that inspired the founders to open the organization. The founders had to learn and understand why so many teens and young adults had decided to run away or to escape the confines of the world they had been living in. Listening to their reasons and to understand why is what helped them plan an organization that would be able to assist them fully. The founders saw how people slept on benches, on parking lots, hitchhiking, and even seeking out food and clothing. These are some of the reasons that led the founders...

His family described him as “a good guy with a big heart.” However that soon began to change changed. At the age of 13 Sean began experimenting with alcohol as a way to escape from the reality of his life. He felt that the buzz was his “miracle juice.” Drinking made Sean feel good. However, the sad and harsh reality of the situation is that it is the exact opposite of feeling good. Sean sees alcohol as a way to deal with the constant feeling of never being good enough in his father’s eyesight as well as a way to escape the fact that his father is a homosexual man. The constant pressure and bullying by his family doesn’t help...

Homelessness and drugs became a major problem, the young people slept on benches, camped out in parking lots, and searched for food and clothing (Gibbons, 2010).

...they were charged with feeding, rearing and caring for their children. Theirs is an American story that is rarely told on any grand, meaningful scale—not one, at least, that defies stereotype and caricature. But recently, “The Help,” a film based on Kathryn Stockett’s bestselling book of the same name, became a cultural touchstone when two of its lead characters, both African-American maids in the then-staunchly segregated Mississippi, challenged viewers to walk their journey—to see, as lead protagonist, Abileen Clark, said, “what it felt like to be me.” To me, ‘The Help’ is this year’s most outstanding and socially relevant motion picture; Viola Davis’ quiet but powerful portrayal of Abileen made us all take notice of a historically invisible class of women and Abileen’s story, along with those of the other maids who rallied with her to tell it, remind us that when we speak, if only in a whisper, momentous things can happen. Of course, the movie, does not come without its controversy: while so many, myself included, questioned then embraced Stockett’s story and actresses Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer earned Academy Award nominations for their roles as the maids who conspired with a young white woman to canonize their life stories, others question why, 70 years after Hattie McDaniel won an Oscar for her portrayal as the affable, sassy slave maid Mammy in Gone With the Wind, Hollywood ushered to the screen a movie feting the Jim Crow subjugation of black women.
