...just like with anyone else in the world. I thought it would be more meaningful and insightful if the peer reviews were done by people who know me. The people I asked to do the surveys are close to me. I know they gathered their perceptions over time by coming around me and interacting with me through conversations and actions. They got their information to gather a perception from how I am on a day to day basis and how I carry myself everyday in my life. One of the peer perceptions was done by a person that does not know me as well. This way I got a chance to review what was said to see if I am viewed equally across the board with those that do know me very personally and those who do not. I am confident in the way I present myself to others as a whole. I wanted to make sure I come across as the person I am inside. I reviewed my face-to-face communication styles survey. It said that when it comes to dominance, I am neutral. I don’t always have to be in control. My dramatic score revealed that I am for the most part neutral, but that I am a bit less dramatic. My contentious/ argumentative level showed that I am again neutral, but a bit less contentious. When it comes to my animated score it was flat at zero saying I sometimes use sustained eye contact, facial expressions, and gestures. My impression leaving score is neutral, but more than not. It also said that I am pretty relaxed and avoiding to nervousness. I am also attentive. My open level revealed that I am neutral. It said...

...ViSaVisalus Sciences is a health and nutrition company. But after doing my review I found they are a whole lot more than just that. Visalus has a mission to combine the passion of health and entrepreneurship to as many people as humanly possible, they are a company based on life, health, and prosperity. Visalus Sciences was put together but 3 individuals who have amazing track records Ryan Blair who is all about giving back to people who are in need, then they have Blake Mallen and Nick Sarnicola who represent the business aspect of the company, they bring in the training coaching and pretty much everything you need to be a successful Visalus Sciences Distributor which is crucial when reviewing a company. Visalus is also a financially sound company backed by Blythe and if you do not know who that is then lets just say Warren Buffett the second richest man in the world so you do not have to worry about this company ever shutting down which again is crucial because there are a lot of times when you work your but off to build a reliable income to check your inbox and see that your company is closing its doors. So is there such thing as a Visalus Scam ? I would have to say NO. Now that you know a little bit about Visalus lets talk about Visalus Products. Visalus Products have some amazing stories connected to them based on my research and due diligence. The main product is the Visalus Shakes also known as Vi-Shape , With the Visalus Shakes depending on which kit you order if you...

...desires of our hearts and our vision of what we can accomplish. Through goals and plans, our hopes are transformed into action. Goal setting and planning are acts of faith. Prayerfully set goals that are in harmony with the Savior’s commandments. You may also set goals for your personal development. Do everything within your power to achieve your goals while respecting the agency of others. The ultimate measure of success is not in achieving goals alone but in the service you render and the progress of others. Goals are a means of helping you bring about much good among Heavenly Father’s children. They are not to be used to receive recognition. Carefully considered goals will give you clear direction and will help you fill your days with activities that help people. Challenging goals will help you work effectively and lead you to stretch and grow. What kind of goals are we setting? We are given a few guidelines that would be helpful to follow as you set your goals: 1. Follow the Spirit 2. Be specific and realistic, but set goals that will make you stretch. You want your goals to be challenging enough to make you grow but are they unreachable? 3. Set weekly and daily goals. Not all goals have to be long term! Elder M. Russell Ballard shares with us a quote about goal setting. He says, “I am so thoroughly convinced that if we don’t set goals in our life and learn how to master the techniques of living to reach our goals, we can reach a ripe old age and look...

...People are faced with challenges every day. How they overcome those challenges and cope with them help define and build their character. As fore me, I have been faced with many obstacles in my life, but one in particular comes to mind: writing essays. For some people, writing is a chance to let their ideas and opinions flow on a piece of paper. Yet to others, like me, writing is difficult and I find it hard to let go and obtain a rhythm of words. As I write essays, I constantly stop to think of the best way to express my thoughts and use the right words to explain them; it doesn’t just come to me. That’s why when my English teacher, Ms. Poth, told us we’d be writing an in-class essay, I freaked. I immediately started to doubt myself and became frustrated because I told myself I wasn’t going to be able to do this. I kept thinking these thoughts until a few minutes later when I recognized how negative I was being. At that point, I decided to turn my attitude around and not give up that easily. I realized that with a positive mental attitude and some preparation for the task ahead of me, I could actually get through this essay with at least a B. After Ms. Poth had told us about our in-class essay, she explained to the class that she wouldn’t let us know the question on which we were to write about. However, she did give us some hints to what the topic would be about. She emphasized that we should review the stories of the Angle-Saxon Period and the Medieval Period. That was when...

...associated with emotional intelligence, which one(s) do you most relate to as being a strength of yours? Provide a specific example that applies to a work setting. What is a limitation for you? Provide a specific example. From Wood Chapter 7, “Emotional intelligence”, qualities that are included in emotional intelligence are as follows: • Being aware of your feelings • Dealing with emotions without being overcome by them • Not letting setbacks and disappointments derail you • Channeling your feelings to assist you in achieving your goals • Being able to understand how others feel without their spelling it out • Listening to your feelings and those of others so you can learn from them • Having a strong yet realistic sense of optimism I believe my most evident emotional intelligence qualities are dealing with emotions without being overcome by them and not letting setbacks and disappointments derail me. If I think about a work-setting example, I had a particular employee that during our performance review broke down and was very upset. She proceeded to tell me a heartbreaking story about her sister having a very bad accident and being in a critical condition in hospital. Her performance review was not going very well before this news broke to me but I knew there was something not quite right. Once we had discussed the situation, I cancelled the review and told her not to worry as we could postpone the review until she was feeling better and more...

...Textbook Assignment Part 1 Chapter 1: First steps The Master Student Pg 54 - 56 This article talks about how to become a master student through guidance by only learning what you have experienced. Every student is already a natural learner because we learn everything new everyday without realizing it sometimes. Even being bored generates interest in anything because you can begin by asking yourself why you are even bored. This can lead to more questions and to even more answers.

The world is full of unknown and discovering new things can help change who you are and what you do for future benefits. Willing to take the risks at challenging tasks, it may sound foolish to tackle these things but in the end you gain valuable lessons from it and can use it for the future.

...The topic I choose to deal with was Global Warming. I search 3 different websites that appeared to deal with the topic in quite different ways. The first website I looked at was http://environment.nationalgeographic.com. It talked about the different effects of Global Warming. The article talks about how a group of scientist called the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change meet up every few years and compare their notes they’ve been taking and also review the most recent scientific discoveries and write a report summarizing everything they know about global warming up to that point. Talks about how one of the first things we learned was how many greenhouse gases was one of the causes of Global Warming. This comes from fossil fuels in cars when they emit gases from the tailpipes. The gas responsible for the most warming is carbon dioxide. People breathe out CO2, but not enough to cause Global Warming on its own. The effect from this article show that the planet if warming up from the North Pole to the South Pole. Globally, the mercury is already up more than 1 degree. Global Warming is effecting thing like the Ice Caps, which are melting worldwide. This includes mountain glaciers, ice sheets covering West Antarctica and Greenland, and Arctic sea ice. Which put a lot of animals that live in those cold climates in some real danger. Adélie penguins population has went from 32,000 to about 11,000 in the last 30 years. The sea level has risen faster than ever before. A lot of...

...Thomas Eden ITEC 343 Article # 7 I am actually learning something from doing these article reviews. That something is that there are literally thousands of sources for news about technology and computers and that all of them manage to write articles about the same thing every day. Unless you dig a little, the only thing happening in the technology world is that Netflix has scrapped the idea of splitting dvd and streaming service. (Thank God, what a terrible idea. If you could actually stream new releases, it would be OK, but I digress). There’s a new iPhone coming out, so get your credit card ready, you can’t possibly live without these new features. Oh, and some guy named Steve Jobs is dead. But me, I go above and beyond. I dig deep to find interesting articles about things that relate to this class. Why, you ask. Because I care, that’s why. The article I found is titled “Should I upgrade my RAM?” Want to read it? Sure you do. http://www.pcworld.com/article/240679/should_i_upgrade_my_ram.html This is a short and sweet article (unlike this rambling virtual paper wasting article review that you may or may not be reading). The first line of the article answers the question in a way that I fully relate to. It says, “If the money is right, then you probably should.” Next the article talks about using the system scanner tool that will tell you specifically what your system can handle and what type of RAM your board supports. This is the coolest part. I have often wondered...

...was still very much alive. Today I will be speaking of a woman who did just that. Sojourner Truth. {THESIS} She spoke for those who were not free to speak and her courage was matched by few. {CREDIBILITY} All information presented here today has come from sources sponsored by A&E Television Networks and Sandbox Networks, Inc. Due to the fact Ms. Truth was born into slavery, no official record of her birth was ever made. It is estimated that she was born sometime in 1797 in upstate New York. She was one of 12 children, born to John and Elizabeth Baumfree. Sojourner was not her birth name though, she was originally born as Isabella Baumfree, but changed it later in 1843. Sojourner's...

...My time spent at the Campus School has flown by. This clinical experience has been so informative and transformative for me. I have been able to gain so much knowledge, insight, and most importantly, build relationships during my time at the Campus School. When I first arrived at the Campus School I was a little taken back. I was informed that it was a pediatric population that was pretty severe. Other than that, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I arrived and found a population that was medically complex, had a lot of equipment needs, and had large care teams to help support the students and their families. All of the students have developmental delays, are non-verbal and various levels of cognition. I was nervous to start working with this population, but I was excited for the challenge....

...Guy, 2014.) Growing up I always wanted to be a hairstylist for a huge company and one day run my own salon. The most important qualities an employer expects from a college graduate include proficiency, communication, and work ethic. Proficiency: The state of being proficient; skill; expertness. The first skill employers look for in a college graduate is technical knowledge in the field I want to peruse. Meaning I have to know the book work and the research behind it. The technical knowledge I have is that I went to cosmetology school for two years and did book work every other day. My future salon I wanted in high school was Toni and Guy. I would also have tests once a week to make sure I knew the material. The next skill employers look for in college graduates is technical application which is the hands on work I know how to do in my field. The technical application I have in my field is that I had to cut hair on a mannequins the days I was not doing book work. On Thursdays I would have women and men from retirement homes come in, do their hair, manicure, pedicure, or a facial. I would get graded for every mannequin and client I worked on that week. After 2 years of book work and clients I took my state board exam, then I found a salon that was hiring and applied. I now work for a nationwide known company Supercuts! Another skill employers look for is creativity; the process by which one utilizes creative ability. An employer wants someone who can bring something else to...

...tends to stereotype people and categorize them into groups such as “The socialites”, “The mean girls”, “The rich kids”, “The smart ass”, “The rebels”, “The geeks”, “The jocks”, “The wannabe’s”, “The emo’s”, “The skaters”, “The dorks”, etc. This happens most with the teens and young adults. Of course, there wouldn’t be a problem if you are categorized as a mean girl or a jock or a smart ass, those are pretty good titles (when you’re in a school campus). But what about the kids that were categorized as the emo’s or the dorks and the wannabe’s? Two things can happen: First: They will think that they aren’t good enough and are not worthy of any attention at all. They will be insecure and will think lowly of themselves. They will either, stay the way they are and would not do anything to be better. They will be growing up with lots of insecurities and/or kill themselves. Second: They will try to fit in. They will change their way of living and be that someone, supposedly “a mean girl”, and try to live like them, with their ways, their looks, the way they walk, the way they talk and even the way they dress. They would not act as themselves anymore. Just to be part of a better social group. Sucks, yes? I have seen this for so many times, in movies, in life, in the news, everywhere. People tend to change themselves to become the person that they are not. They change themselves to be what their friends, schoolmates, teachers and other people surrounding them want them to be. They...
