...In National Jr. Honor Society there are many characteristics that are reflective of students who are in or participate in National Jr. Honor Society. These characteristics would include Scholarship, Participation & Leadership, Citizenship & Character, and Service. Out of these four characteristics I personally believe that I have exhibited at least two of these characteristics. These two characteristics are Scholarship and Service. Scholarship, I feel is a very important characteristic to have when joining National Jr. Honor Society. “Scholarship” means to demonstrate academic success. It is important to me to have good grades because these good grades can lead to a good education which in return leads to a very good job in the future which is exactly what I want. I have demonstrated having...

...in sports. In particular, it touches upon racial ideology in sports, and its challenges. Stereotyping is a natural occurrence among society, and is predominant in sports. I am sure there has been many times where one has seen a tall male, African-American, and thought “I wonder if he is a basketball player?” The text gives a good example based on their research stating that “when young black men were in the honors program and played on a school team, other students and teachers identified them as athletes rather than honor students…and white students in the honors program and on school teams were clearly identified as honor students rather than athletes” (Coakley, 226). This illustrates the specific social identities black males have. I thought to myself, why is this so? Why is it that African American males are viewed to exceed in athletic ability, rather than intelligence, and vice versa for white males. The problem is stereotypes in sports, which often lead to other general stereotypes. These stereotypes begin to imply that certain races have certain characteristics. I believe these stereotypes need to stop, and black male’s social identities need to expand beyond being athletic. These athletic stereotypes can play a negative impact in the real world. For instance, when trying to find a job, employers are not interested in their applicant’s athleticism, but rather their hard work and intelligence in the field. Therefore, this illustrates that such stereotypes of African-American’s...

...Tonya Mejia Biblical WorldView September 19, 2014 Introduction In beginning of time, we were all created in the image of God (Genesis 1: 26-28). 1 John 4:8 states, “Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” That means a lot to me because without God we don’t have anything. Education is such a great encouraging and life altering career which offers me many opportunities to live a proficient way that does not only honors God, but shows unbelievers and believers God’s lasting love. Educators are planned professionals motivated on teaching our children. Teachers are also good at helping heal the children, and sometimes it heals ourselves. As we were created in the image of God who is a great teacher, he gives us the capability to heal and teach trust to children and people in the name of Jesus. As being a teacher, I have the exceptional pleasure of touching lives on a profound and personal level. Integrity and dependability are two things that will allow me to assist others through my profession and worshiping our AMAZING GOD!!!!. Integrity Integrity is the excellence of being truthful and obligating strong ethical values. To be ethically standing defines our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I know that my Jesus, “He never sinned, and he never told a lie.” (1 Peter 2:22). I was created in the image of my savior that spoke truth and kept His word. A teacher needs to have integrity and confident to be a supreme teacher. Teachers should...

...traditions is the ‘Aggie Honor Code’ which entitles “An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do.” This straight edged message which represents an Aggies honor and respect is written on a plaque which is attached to a statue right outside of the Corps of Cadet headquarters. This statue was donated by Dr. John and Carol Heit, fellow Aggies from the class of ’43. The Aggie Code of Honor statue seizes the attention of every Aggie that walks by it and with the use of pathos, ethos, and logos this statue is able to connect with the emotions of every single Aggie and convey Texas A&M’s six core values. The statue with the help of pathos and the purge of emotions suggests that the Aggie Ring is only attainable if you follow the path of the...

...I am very thankful for honor of being considered for acceptance into the National Honor Society. This program is unlike any others we have at West Warwick High School since it strictly accepts students with above average grades, addition to the qualities of character such as leadership and community involvement. At the current time, I am a sophomore here at West Warwick High School, dedicating the majority of my time to school and sports, but using what little time is left for maintaining an active position in the community. I am applying to this program because it is a great opportunity to volunteer in the West Warwick community with other students. Furthermore, the program shapes students to become better individuals, though they already...

...Please describe any personal characteristics, skills, or experiences you possess that make you well qualified to be a Resident Assistant. As an individual, I believe I have multiple experiences that would make me an asset as a Resident Assistant. During the summer I planned and oversaw programs for a group of high school students who are taking summer classes at a community college. This role has given me key skills of being patient, responsive, and personable with students. This year, I am also an Honors Practicum Leader. This experience has allowed me to run a classroom of first-year students. I mentor and help them with their academics and assist them in their transition into college. These roles have helped me develop my leadership skills, as well as make me a more responsible and dependent person that is able to work well alongside others. Not only that but working with students this year has made me passionate about connecting with students individually and making a difference in their lives. What is your understanding of a life-work balance? How do you apply this understanding to your daily practices at Drake? Life-work...

...Introduction. This course provides an introduction to cost management and management control. It is concerned with the generation, use and interpretation of management and cost information and related data by managers under various organizational systems. This information is used for planning and control, decision-making, performance evaluation, and reporting purposes. The course also examines the impact of quantitative information on motivation and organizational communication. This class presupposes some basic knowledge of financial reporting, economics and organizational behavior. Management accounting is a dynamic field and reflects many of the changes seen in business today. We will often use product-based companies to initially discuss a topic, and then expand our discussions to the service and not-for-profit sectors. Financial accounting is externally oriented and governed by fundamental concepts of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In contrast, managerial accounting is internally oriented. Managerial accounting is very context driven. Management accounting is more intuitively understandable than financial accounting. However, the material cannot be learned by ‘thinking’. You must work through the mini-cases, cases and problems, which are assigned for each class. The concepts and techniques must be used to see how they are developed and applied. Discussion in each class assumes you understand the material covered in prior sessions. Therefore...

...Student Involvement: A Developmental Theory for Higher Education Alexander W. Astin A student development theory based on student involvement is presented and described, and the implications for practice and research are discussed. Even a casual reading of the extensive literature on student development in higher education can create confusion and perplexity. One finds not only that the problems being studied are highly diverse but also that investigators who claim to be studying the same problem frequently do not look at the same variables or employ the same methodologies. And even when they are investigating the same variables, different investigators may use completely different terms to describe and discuss these variables. My own interest in articulating a theory of student development is partly practical—I would like to bring some order into the chaos of the literature—and partly self-protective. I and increasingly bewildered by the muddle of f indings that have emerged from my own research in student development, research that I have been engaged in for more than 20 years. The theory of student involvement that I describe in this article appeals to me for several reasons. First, it is simple: I have not needed to draw a maze consisting of dozens of boxes interconnected by two-headed arrows to explain the basic elements of the theory to others. Second, the theory can explain most of the empirical knowledge about environmental influences on student development that researchers...

...of their school careers students are taught to never cheat, copy, or use anyone else’s work as their own. This is a topic that is discussed through grade school, high school, and usually the beginning of each semester for every class one takes at college. However, committing acts of academic dishonesty in online courses is rising. Students have more resource accessibility, different mind frames, and less teacher interactions. These characteristics causes students consider cheating more often than in face-to-face classes. Online classes have become more of a trend for various people. Flexibility and accessibility from anywhere makes online courses easier for students to continue their careers. Even though it is great for people to continue their schooling in a stress-free fashion that does not conflict with their schedules, it creates more opportunities for students to cheat. In Miller and Young-Jones’ article, the reason online courses will never take over colleges according to Youngberg’s statement in the Chronicle of Higher Education is “it’s too easy to cheat.” (138) With today’s technology there are billions and billions of resources available to anyone with the click of a few keys. Students have access to all types of Internet sources that can provide students with answers without having to research anything. Students also always have access to the textbook when doing assignments, taking tests, or anything else the course may require. Students may also be able to have...
