...Personal Responsibility Madison Techmanski Gen 200 10/02/13 Professor Gingrich Personal Responsibility Even though independence can possibly make you stubborn, being independent is my personal responsibility because it allows you to create a future for yourself and sets you apart from most others. In this essay I will discuss the power that independence has in creating a better future for yourself while showing that you have a strength that most others don’t possess. It is my personal responsibility not only for those reasons but also it was the way I was raised. “Personal responsibility is taught.” (Guthrie, Sarah, 2008, para. 2). I wouldn’t have these skills if I wasn’t taught how to develop them. It can have its downfalls however just like most things do, but they are not weakness that can’t be fixed. Independence is my personal responsibility because it is what drives me in my social and educational life. I have achieved things at my age because of my independence, I am not afraid to travel in uncharted waters or point out flaws in a plan. I am a self-sufficient because I have always learned to do things on my own and to not wait around for things to be done for me. I have had to be self-motivated because my success or failure rests solely on my own shoulders. I use this in my educational life since no one else is going to do it for me, I must finish myself. We are all trying to create a future for ourselves and being independent has helped me to do that. I set goals for...

...Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper Gen/200 Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper Communication plays a very important role in our life. If one were not able to communicate effectively, it would be very difficult for them interact with others, learn, and express their feelings. One of the bigger challenges one may face, is how big of a role personality styles play when it comes to communicating to a group of people. A few of the personality types that will be covered in this material include: giver, thinker, and organizer. Also covered will be the following learning styles: verbal linguistic, intrapersonal, and personal (Axia, 2007). The success of a team environment is determined by the ability of these styles being able to work together. Verbal-linguistic individuals usually love learning new languages, reading, and writing. They are usually very effective at being able to communicate through speech, and are very good at teaching others and explaining things. They are usually best taught through lectures, writing, and reading. A person who possesses interpersonal intelligence, are usually good at relating to and understanding the views of others. They usually communicate well to others in a group setting, and like to ask lots of questions. These individuals enjoy the feedback that they get from questions, and learn easily in a group environment. The final intelligence I will cover is intrapersonal. Intrapersonal individuals in a lot of ways...

...series average speed is faster than the speed needed for a Boeing 747? A Boeing 747 requires between 150 to 200 miles per hour to take off. Right off the bat, the differences start. One of the biggest differences is the locations that these two series race. NASCAR primary races in the United States but does occasionally race in Mexico and Canada, although they did not during this past year’s season. NASCAR races in 23 cities around the country hitting many of them twice a season (2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series TV Broadcast Schedule). Formula 1 currently races in 19 different countries, spanning four continents and hitting each track only once during the season. NASCAR has an average of 36 races a season, while Formula 1 currently has 20 races a season. The next comparison is the vehicles that are used to provide all of the entertainment value that we see on television on a weekly basis. NASCAR drivers race in a closed wheel, closed driver compartment car. Due to NASCAR’s ongoing commitment to safety and entertainment NASCAR recently developed a brand new type of car for their series called the Generation 6 car, or Gen 6 for short. These cars are more aerodynamically sound resulting in closer, faster racing. These cars are also safer due to the improvements to the driver compartment, and the aerodynamic control. These cars weigh in around 3,400 pounds, and average around 200 miles per hour. Formula 1 cars on the other hand are an open...

One must take personal responsibility for their success in their education and career because you are your biggest contributor to your success. You can attain success by understanding who you are, how you learn, and how to utilize the many resources available to you. One of the most necessary tools to conquer is the process of setting goals. It’s not just necessary to set goals, but you must also understand why you are setting them. I want to earn my Bachelor’s Degree in Health Administration by November 2017. I have worked in the healthcare industry since I was 18 years old; however, I never enjoyed the clinical side of the business. As for my career, I want to work in Healthcare Administration at Ochsner Pediatrics Office. My husband had brain surgery in February 2012 at Ochsner, and the entire staff was fantastic. I want to work in the Pediatrics' department because I became a Certified Medical Administrative Assistant in February 2015 and completed my internship at a local pediatrician’s office. I found much self-gratification in working with children because I was able to assist financially strained families by finding them affordable insurance.

...Communicating and Collaborating Strategy GEN 200 Abstract Being a part of a learning team or group can sometimes be very beneficial but will also require working with different learning styles and personality types. Everyone will not always come together which will more than likely cause conflict among the team. The team has to be aware that everyone brings a different personality and learning style to the group. Acknowledging this will insure a better working environment and lead to the team’s success. Based on my personal assessment my learning styles are: interpersonal, verbal linguistic and bodily kinesthetic. My personality types are: organizer, adventurer and giver. These characteristics allow me to have a better understanding of my surroundings and be more knowledgeable of people who are different from me. Learning styles help to separate strengths from weaknesses. My first learning style is Interpersonal. An interpersonal person is able to listen to other people’s opinions and view them from another perspective. According to the book, “Interpersonal Skills to Leadership” (Fritz, 2005), I will be a lifelong learner. I prize curiosity. I want to be well informed. My ultimate goal is to learn from my life events so that sometime in my later years I will have great wisdom. As an interpersonal person I enjoy talking with people and helping them, which makes them feel comfortable. People are at ease to discuss conflict with an interpersonal person...

...Personal Responsibility GEN/200 March 10, 2014 Personal responsibility is not something you wake up and decide to obtain. Personal responsibility is a way of living. It alters each and every facet of a person’s existence. Achieving personal responsibility does not necessarily suggest that you can govern everything that transpires, but it does mean you can control how you react to those situations. Personal responsibility means being accountable for one’s actions as well as acknowledging the ramifications of those actions. “Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands” was a insightful quote by the late Anne Frank. By not being personally responsible an individual is likely to blame others for their transgressions which can result in a magnitude of negative consequences. Becoming depressed and frustrated with individuals other than oneself is among those downsides. Failed friendships and even failed personal relationships can also occur because of an individual constantly blaming another person for their own faults. To me, when you accept responsibility for the situations in your life, you are then capable of learning from that certain situation thereupon permitting you to progress. Accepting this particular responsibility will not allow you to remain stagnant. Sustaining personal responsibility can prove to be a bit difficult at times but it also helps to establish...

...Strategies for Communication and Collaborating Effectively Gen 200 Strategies for Communication and Collaborating Effectively To communicate and collaborate effectively within a group of individuals with different learning styles and personality traits they must have a good leader. In a team environment everyone needs a good leader who can see your strengths and weaknesses. Working in a team is a wonderful way to see other aspects from a different point of view. A good leader can implement support system, which will allow a team to work together effectively. Learning Styles A team uses multiple learning styles; I am going to develop a strategy for three of them. The first style that can be effective is bodily/kinesthetic. This is a team member who is more of a hands-on learner. There are so many ways that this kind of learner can work well in a group setting. This is a person who likes physical activity. These team members like to get dirty and are in touch with the physical world around you. They utilize all of their senses around them to learn effectively. Another style of learning is intrapersonal. These learners can evaluate their own thinking. In this style of learning you are very aware of your surroundings and can express your feelings to others well. They do well with their own goals. This person would be great at motivating your team. This member has a great understanding of themselves as well as others. The last learning style that...
