...Elijah Roberts Mrs. Hoag Research & Writing 13 October 2014 Stress: In Collegiate Student Athletes Most students who graduate high school go on to continue their education at a College or University. Students who are talented enough also play at sport at their college. With the overwhelming workload that student athletes face in college, along with their commitment to sports can cause an immense amount of stress in their life. Stress is an emotional or mental strain put on the body and mind from demanding circumstances. As opposed to the traditional college student, student athletes have more pressure on them. About 400,000 student athletes participate in athletic games each year, and thousands receive scholarships to do so (Stern). Setting aside the stress that every student already faces when transitioning from high school to college, being a collegiate athlete on top of that just makes it more difficult. Stress is so powerful, it can become the sole thing that can cause an athlete to quit their sport, causing them to lose their scholarship or even drop out of school. Several occasions an athlete’s performance is negatively affected by the stress that is put on them. Being relied on heavily by their school, parents’ expectations to succeed in school, and by coaches and teammates to perform well in their sport, can be too much on a student athlete. All the stress that the students face also has proven to be very unhealthy. Most people also do...

...management. This high demand job offers an average salary of 300,000 dollars for a graduated physician. Now its not that quite easy to just go to school graduate and earn 300,000 dollars. This position requires a lot of hands on training as well as practice. A person must have dedication and be self driven; because this job can certainly drown you if you don’t have the dedication. One last thing you need is passion, a true passion to want to make a difference in a person’s life. All of this can be achieved through a long road of self dedication and perseverance. Even though being an anesthesiologist requires a lot of passion and dedication I believe I am ready to pursue my hectic career as an anesthesiologist. Everybody starts somewhere and when a student wants to be an anesthesiologist they start with an undergraduate degree. The undergraduate degree requires four years of physics, chemistry, biology and math. Those classes are crucial in order to move on to the next step. These classes aren’t classes you can just go through, these classes contain material that will be used in many different ways on the path to success. Once a masters degree or also known as an undergraduate degree is achieved, one must take the well known and also dreaded test to get acceptance into medical school. This test is called the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). The MCAT is a test that challenges your verbal, writing, math and physics skills. The requirements for medical school are a minimum...

...and out of school for a year I quickly decided to make my friends and family in my very congested new home. Like anyone would say starting college was not easy and my experience was no different. After getting accepted to BCC in mid-August by doing a late direct admission, it was the beginning of a long and tumultuous road. There was an initial hassle with financial aid and me waiting in a 3-hour line, then back to admissions. It was a long day. When I got into Bronx Community College (BCC), I had to do the placement test, just like any other student and...

...AB1501 - Marketing Individual Reflection Paper Individual Reflection Paper 2012 2012 It has been a fulfilling 11 weeks as I embark on this reflection paper in the midst of a hectic exam preparation schedule. It is time to review what I have gained and learnt as an individual after attending numerous marketing tutorials and hearing many wonderful presentations. Allow me to recapitulate. Segmentation, Targeting and Positioning Segmentation, Targeting and Positioning (STP) is undeniably one of the most important concepts of marketing. Through the tutorials, I have learnt that STP sets the base of the entire marketing effort. Segmentation divides the market through demographic, geographic, psychographic and behavioural segmentation. It clearly defines the boundaries of the different market opportunities that one may want to develop in. Targeting involves evaluating the different market segments and then choosing the best target market(s) which are feasible and in line with the company’s goals. Positioning creates a value proposition which represent a set of differences or competitive advantages that differentiates the product, delivering more customer value. STP aids one in creating a product that is based on a customer-driven marketing strategy. In this aspect, I believe that my team has done relatively well. By understanding STP, my team was able to use multiple segmentation bases (Demographic, Psychographic and Behavioural) to define our target market. This enables us...

...education requirement in order to be considered for work within their company. Being a working adult juggling multiple schedules; work, home, and extra social activities can be hectic. When adding to receive an education to further career choices, it can become overwhelming. People contemplate over the decision to go back to school or maintain at their current level. Combining what you already know with what you will learn in school can lead to a successful academic career. The skills like critical thinking, problem solving and effective communication will allow you to be successful. When a person chooses to continue their education, there are several techniques that must be learned in order to achieve academic success. True academic success is utilizing what they learn in the classroom and applying it to real life situations. Understanding one’s own learning style and using the necessary communication skills will offer students a positive experience and validate skills that are essential for success in their career. In order to achieve long term success, setting goals is an important component. Setting goals, short and long term, can increase a student’s momentum and determination to succeed. Making short term goals like completing course work each week ahead of schedule can make the idea of juggling school and work less stressful. Many short term goals can make the long term that much more reachable with the small successes along the way; long term would be to graduate from the...

Submitted to: Ms. Melanie Tapnio, Nursing Research Adviser BSN 905 2007-2008 Chapter I The Problem and its Background Introduction Stress has been experienced by people almost everyday. Stress can be associated with major life events, daily hassles and change in life. It has physical and emotional effects on us and can create positive or negative feelings. Stress can make a person anxious and depressed. It is the enemy of clear thinking and if allowed to get out of control, it can compromise a person’s health as well. Sometimes stress can keep people awake at night and make them feel irritable and edgy. Yet, their reactions to stressful events differ widely. Some people faced with a stressful event develop psychological or physical problems, whereas other people faced with the same stressful event develop no problems and may even find the event challenging and interesting. Nursing school is very stressful. Students experience increased tension prior to their clinical rotations or their written examinations, especially their finals. The major sources of stress experienced are interpersonal relationships and performance demands. Nursing school is...

...The Phases Of A Turtle In High School "My favorite animal is the turtle. The reason is that in order for the turtle to move, it has to stick its neck out. There are going to be times in your life when you’re going to have to stick your neck out. There will be challenges and instead of hiding in a shell, you have to go out and meet them." I'd say this quote best described our "first day of High School jitters" four years ago when we entered into the next phase of our lives, otherwise known as Bethlehem Catholic. Like a turtle, we began our freshman year inside of our shells. None of us knew what to expect in High School besides the rumor of "the pool on the third floor". All of the girls walked into homeroom with skirts that reached their knees and the boys were all cleanly shaven (if they even had facial hair yet). That first day was crucial for the rest of high school because it determined what clique you were a part of, what classes you would take for your next four years, and what your peers would think of you....

...Conclusion 1. Market Analysis The repositionable notes market is made up of paper or tabs with adhesive, which allows the product to be stuck on surfaces and moved, without leaving residue. They are also known as ‘sticky notes’ and the idea was first conceived by 3M innovators. Post-it, the original inventor of ‘sticky notes’ have seen other competitors entering the market, yet having little success in toppling Post-it as the market leader. This is especially so in Singapore, where most of the brands shy away from competing head-on with Post-it, by differentiating their products. 1.1 Market Environment 1.1.1 Technology The ease of accessing wireless networks via Wireless@SG, since its introduction in 2006, has led to a surge in consumers switching to 3G phones. The implications of this on the repositionable notes market is that gadgets like phones are increasingly being used as a substitute in place of sticky notes, in reminding people of certain events or things. Instead of physically placing a post-it on the desk, people choose to set reminders on their phones, with alarms. People also choose to send short messages via their handphones, instead of writing notes on sticky notes and placing them on a colleague’s desk, for example. 1.1.2 Social Trend Research has shown that Singaporean’s are consuming even more paper than before, despite the recent bids of environmentalists to cut down paper usage across the nation....

Some of the key role players in the behavior of children today are bad parenting, lack of respect from children, technology, like video games, cell phones, I pad, I phones, the prolong use of television and what is available for them to watch. All of these things is a distraction for children and is a part of their over all behavior. It’s not hard to see that the attitudes of some children have change over the years. All you have to do is look and listen. The children today seem to have an attitude about everything even at a young age. Some of them can’t even tell you what they are angry about. The evidence you will here in this paper is not only based on my own personal experiences but also from other researched articles. When I was growing up we had no choice but to respect our parents and elders. Talking back or acting act was not tolerated at all. Parents took the time to connect with their children instead of letting them sit in front of a television all day, or play on a computer. We had a set television time, bedtime, and playtime. And we didn’t have a problem following...

What typically trips up new users of GA, and why? To an extent I do agree that GA (Google Analytics) can be difficult for inexperienced users.

...a quotation from all his ancestors. A book is a written or printed work that has its pages sewed or glued to one another. The book has been around for years in its present printed form, advancing along with new innovations in today’s modern society, the book may have been partially replaced by the internet but it would be too extreme to say that the book has no place in modern society. Its distinctive and tangible touch is impossible to be substituted for. Thus, I feel that the book still has a place in modern society. The book still has a place in today’s modern society as today’s society is a knowledge-based one, knowledge is key to success. Books are pivotal to imparting knowledge and skills to the masses, especially to students in school. We cannot neglect the fact that the book is still the bread and butter of our lives. An example of a book that develops our skills and knowledge is the “7 Habits of Highly Effective People”, which has sold over twenty million copies worldwide. The remarkable sales figures just demonstrates the importance of the book in modern society, be it for entertainment or personal upgrade. They are the very core driving force of passing down present-day human knowledge. Some may argue that modern day innovations such as e-books serve the same function as well, however one must not forget that accessibility to e-books is much lesser than accessibility to books Therefore, the book has a place in modern society. The book still has a place in modern...

...One of the biggest highlights of November across the nation is the start of sports like basketball, gymnastics and a wind down of sports like volleyball, football and cross country. In Oakland county Michigan, one of the the highpoints of the fall is the state finals for cross country. For high schools across Oakland county Michigan, the cross county state finals took place in the beginning of November and led to one high school winning their first ever state title. Lakeland High School and Milford High School showed up to the cross country state finals to take the title. The article “Lakeland, Milford grab D1 state titles” was written by Marvin Goodwin and printed in the Oakland Press. The article was printed on November 6, just after the state finals took place on November 5. The title was given to the article because the Lakeland boys cross country team and Milford girls cross country team are joined together as Huron Valley schools and both received state titles on the same day. I spoke with Lakeland high school’s boys’ cross country coach Joe Verellen in a phone call interview as the main subject in the article. We talked about his career at Lakeland, his views about the article and his views on...
