...Personal Responsibility Essay Tramell Arceneaux GEN/200 October 25, 2012 Mr. Ed Williams When it comes to personal responsibilities, everyone has different perspectives. Personal responsibility does not have a set definition. However, personal responsibility deals with one’s personal beliefs. For example, some may feel they are solely responsible for obtaining their class syllabus while others will feel that it is the instructor’s reasonability to make sure students receive the syllabus. There are those that face daily challenges because they do not take personal responsibility. In contrast, there are those who accept their responsibility and succeed far beyond their expectations. Throughout this essay I will describe the personal responsibilities I have and how their association will ensure successful completion of my college education. My own definition of personal responsibility is the ability to do positive things for myself and taking full responsibility for my life. For many adults, personal responsibilities are endless, just about every adult has bills and for those like me, with a spouse and dependents, those personal responsibilities are much greater. Paying the mortgage and bills on time, keeping food on the table and providing whatever other needs are not just things you would do, but are now personal responsibilities. When I get out the bed in the morning to go to work regardless of how I feel takes responsibility, because I have to maintain a career in order...

...College Success and Personal Responsibility Louanna Garcia GEN/200 Stacie Sedlmayer February 27, 2012 Personal responsibility is being responsible for one's own actions. Each of "us," as individuals is responsible for our successes in life. We have to assume responsibility for our own actions. Accepting responsibility what we do right and wrong in our lives. Be .proud of we accomplish and correcting mistakes that are made. Every student should be very proud to earn a college degree. This accomplishment shows determination, stamina, hard work and, responsibility . Hard work and determination will help us reach our goal. Part of that hard work is learning to manage time effectively. Set aside specific times for studying. Learning which time of the day or night is the best study time. Some people can study with the radio or television on. For others this would be a distraction. Some may be able to study with their families in the room. You have to find what is right for you. I study best after I have taken care of my family. When they have been fed, bathed, their homework is complete, and everyone is down for the night. I have my quiet time to devote several hours of uninterrupted time . My family understands that earning this degree is very important to me and respects the time that I ask for. Of course, you cannot anticipate the unexpected like a sick child during...

...Applying and Strategizing Research GEN 200 University of Phoenix September 19, 2010 Amidst numerous problems, time management is the most crucial problem I face in my day-to-day life. Time management is the range of skills, tools, and techniques used to manage time when accomplishing specific tasks, projects, and goals. From waking up in the morning, to falling asleep at night, managing time efficiently has been a nightmare to render. Possessing excess time to perform a task and not using it wisely is my nemesis because I always find myself unprepared and complete the task at the last minute. Some examples of not using time management effectively in my daily life are: arriving to work late, not preparing what to wear to work the night before, overextending my lunch break, and turning in homework late. Knowing how to prepare and plan ahead of time for any event will help overcome this problem. Finding a solution requires strategic planning using either a daily planner or an organizer found in most smart phones these days. Electronic organizers have more of an advantage because they can sort, organize and store more information than paper and pencil planners. However, if technology is not user-friendly, the idea of pen and paper will always remain available to use. Identifying the order of daily events and when they should take place is critical in managing time efficiently. For example, setting an alarm clock at five o’clock in the morning is a daily routine...

...Time Management and Responsibility Sarah J. Giamalva GEN/200 October 24th, 2011 David Kuntz Time Management and Responsibility Students with a family and a full-time job have a full plate. “Attending classes, studying, working a part-time job, participating in extra-curricular activities, and finding time for friends, family and yourself can be a hard schedule for college students to balance.” (Guide To Management For Graduate School Students”, 2011) The key to success is to properly manage ones time effectively to help create a balance between personal and educational responsibilities. For many people, family comes first, and spending time with loved ones is perhaps one of the most important and rewarding obligations they have. It is important to be actively involved in their lives on a daily basis and essential to keep up to date with what is going on in family member’s lives. As a full-time college student, finding a reasonable amount of time for family and friends can become challenging; however, there are some ways the family can contribute that can be beneficial to both the student and the family. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that men and women spend on average between two to three and a half hours a day on household activities, caring for and helping household members, and purchasing goods and services (bls.org). Consider delegating some household responsibilities to the children and spouse/partner. In the textbook Advancing Your Career: Concepts...

...Personal Responsibilities Essay xxxx xxxxxxx Gen/200 11/13/11 Heather Karberg Personal Responsibilities Essay When students think about college they think about attending class, making friends, doing homework, studying, and obtaining good grades, but for most this is not always the case, at times personal responsibilities hinder college success. Personal responsibilities like work, family life and time for yourself can leave you with little to no time to complete school work. There are no shortcuts in academic success, college success means fulfilling academic requirements (ACT, 2007, p.3). The relationship between personal responsibility and college success is a conflicting relationship. Personal responsibility can hinder college success if not planned accordingly. The first personal responsibility that hinders college success is work life. Working a full time job, while going to school is normal in today’s society. Many college students have bills to pay or families to raise, and to pay for these necessities college students need a job. Working a job while in school may be difficult to handle. Another detractor in work life is stress. Stress at the workplace for most is imminent. With very heavy workloads and performing at an excellent manner, Workplace stress can leave you with a headache every day and make it hard to focus on schoolwork. Willging, P. A., & Johnson, S. D. (2009) says “Too hard to work full-time and be a student in an online course.” (p...

... XXXX GEN/200 XXXX Instructor: XXXX Personal Responsibility is the Fuel for College Success Although many people attend universities and colleges, not everyone has a successful college experience. Success in college relies on many things. Dedication, a positive attitude, and good time management skills are just a few of requirements for a successful college experience, but without the one most important component, college success is not possible. The most important component in the equation for s successful college experience is personal responsibility. Personal responsibility is necessary for college success. An example of a car can be used to demonstrate college success. A car may have all of the necessary components to run; an engine, transmission, wheels, etc., but without fuel, the car will go nowhere. No matter how good all of the parts of the car seem to be, without fuel, the car will not move. In the case of college success, personal responsibility is the fuel. Just as a car goes nowhere without fuel, college success cannot happen without personal responsibility. A college student may have everything they need for college; the course schedule, the syllabus for the class, study materials...

...Personal Responsibility & College Success Gordon Wilson University of Phoenix GEN 200 William Feltt March 4th, 2013 Personal Responsibility “There’s not a chance we’ll reach our full potential until we stop blaming each other and start practicing personal accountability.” Miller, J. G. (2004). Personal responsibility is the idea of people living responsible for their own actions and the choices they make. When people make mistakes we tend to point fingers or blame someone else for our mishaps. However, it is our responsibility to take responsibility for the consequences of our actions. Personal responsibility is the key to college success. When every student focuses <subject-verb agreement|| on doing his or her assignments, handing in homework on time, showing up to class on time, and studying for examinations in advance they stand a better chance of being successful in college. Personal responsibility is the understanding that one is responsible for themselves through words, thoughts, deeds and, actions. Personal responsibility is being in control of your life. Developing personal responsibility can be beneficial. By developing personal responsibility one can take charge of their life and define their own purpose. It is very important that everyone practice personal responsibility in their...
