...person is focusing on something different, thinking of something different, and noticing something different. That is why every person has a story to tell, and it is why we can learn from every single person. And this essay is about my short autobiography, which can give you an indication of my personal story. I came into this world on the windy morning of October 15, 1990. I was born in Cua Viet, a small town in Vietnam. I am the 5th child among the 5 children of my parent. I grew up and spent almost my whole life in my country. Now, I am the second year student in Business Accounting- the 2 year program. I have been through many life-changing situations in past 3 years. These situations have had both positive and negative impacts to me. My goals from 5 years ago compare to my current goals are totally different. After finishing 12th grade, I just wanted to become a Mathematics teacher, so I went to Hue University and tried my best to achieve the goal. However, when I was the 2nd year student of the Hue University, I found that I was no longer interested in becoming a teacher. Hence, I dropped the school and wanted to get a better education in Canada and seek opportunities in accounting. Since then, my life has changed. On one hand, starting my new life in a strange country is so hard. When I just came, I faced many difficulties, such as the language, the weather and the life style. Firstly, language was a big matter when I first came. Speaking was one of the linguistic problems...

...Amor, John Anthony Y. Mr. Lopez BSIT-1A CRITIQUE PAPER Transmission Media is the physical path between transmitter and receiver. The transmission media that are used to convey information can be classified as guided or unguided. Guided media provide a physical path along which the signals are propagated; these include twisted pair, coaxial cable, and optical fiber. Unguided media employ an antenna for transmitting through air, vacuum, or water. Bandwidth, transmission impairments, interference and number of receiver are just one of the design factors of transmission media, wherein in Bandwidth all other factors are remained constant. Transmission impairments, Impairments, such as attenuation, limit the distance. For guided media, twisted pair generally suffers more impairment than coaxial cable, which in turn suffers more than optical fiber. Interference from competing signals in overlapping frequency bands can distort or wipe out a signal. Number of receivers a guided medium can be used to construct a point-to- point link or a shared link with multiple attachments. Traditionally, twisted pair has been the workhorse for communications of all sorts. Twisted pair comes in two varieties: unshielded and shielded. Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) is ordinary telephone wire. This is the least expensive of all the transmission media commonly used for local area networks...

I definitely would have to say my strongest trait is that I am a very motivated and goal oriented person, who has a strong sense of self determination. I feel there is always room for self improvement and self growth. I welcome challenges that make me think outside of the box, that challenge me intellectually, utilize my critical thinking skills to problem solve or to formulate a solution or a new idea. Some of the reasons why I feel being goal oriented is my strongest quality are challenges that I have overcome in my life such as; successfully completing my nursing school program, being a new nurse and going above and beyond for my patients and peers my efforts were rewarded and I was promoted to charge nurse, the present job that I have been at for about 1.5 years I have been given the role of training new hires and have been chosen to work on various projects to streamline work flows that will ultimately improve education and teaching methods to the medicare population.

...Conduct | The purpose of this memo is to present my impressions of Arizona State University's Student Code of Conduct. My evaluation is based off of my knowledge from reading chapters one through 5, as well as chapter fourteen, from the textbook "Technical Communication" by Mike Markel. Summary I do believe that the Student Code of Conduct does follow the ‘Eight Traits of Excellence’ that Make Markel writes about in his textbook “Technical Communication”. Discussion The Student Code of Conduct for Arizona State University is created in a way that fosters honesty, intellectual integrity, and creates a culture of respect for all individuals. While reading the code of conduct I noticed that the ‘Eight Traits of Excellence’ came up in a variety of ways. The first trait, being honesty, was demonstrated by being straightforward in explaining what is not prohibited at the university, and measures will be taking if crossed. This type of dialogue is written in a way that does not intend to mislead the readers. Clarity, the second trait, is portrayed through the documents’ use of a dictionary; which is designed to allow the reader to become familiar with any terms that they have otherwise not encountered in this context. The next trait is accuracy, which essentially is referring to the bias of the communicator. Bias is mitigated in this document through the repeated use of terms like “student” and “individual”. Another trait is comprehensiveness. The document describes and...

...used to explain my personality. Then I will explain if my personality features are consistent or if they change according to the situation. Finally, any personality tests that I may have taken and my reaction to the results and my thoughts on what makes the test reliable and valid. Personality is the observational analysis of defining characteristics of an individual with their visible and measurable traits. Someone’s personality is observed only by the traits that others can see. There are more traits to a person that are not always visible to ones eye. Everyone can see the different actions of a person but they really cannot see the feelings and thoughts of a person. Our personality lets us respond and act in different ways to certain things in life. I believe that a person’s personality is based on the environment they grew up in and their background. Some key personality features that define me are leadership and caring. I have leadership because I like to motivate others to get things done, I will push them and let them know that they can complete anything they start. I am also a very organized and responsible person that a leader needs. Another skill that I have to be a leader is communication, this is very important because a leader has to communicate with everyone. I also consider caring as a key personality because I care about what happens to others even if it is good or bad. I believe that cognitive, trait, and interaction best describe my...

...than the experience we may have in our live. In fact, innate traits are inevitable and may affect our life in the long term. However, in my own opinion, experience is the major influence that plays the vital role in forming our qualification. I believe this thing is true for these two main reasons. Firstly, personality can be changed through education. Children are sent to school to learn how to behave well and have a good awareness of the fairness, the love, the rights and the success. We will know what should do and what should not do to suit the life‘s condition and to keep all the relationship much longer. Secondly, the outside factors affect us in many ways, especially our friends. The old saying ‘’ A man is known by the company he keeps’’ always remind you of how much the surrounding people affect you. For instance, you play with a group of people, so you tend to imitate their hobbies, their style and so on. Moreover, you may change your appearance or even your own characteristic to look like the rest of them in order to join the group perfectly. In addition, my own experience supports my statement a lot. I used to be lazy in studying and never dreamed of good marks. My parents complained about my result all the time and forced me to study much more. I had many friends and they were all learn well at school. They set an example for me and I consciously knew that I had to work harder to catch up with my close friend. Since then, I have found it interesting to study...

In the play Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, Henry Drummond is called the “Devil” and is a “godless man.” Character traits are words that can be used to describe a person’s personality. Henry Drummond is not seen as the person he truly is by the people of Hillsboro. Henry Drummond is actually an admirable man. Some character traits that prove he is admirable are, that he is quick-witted, brave, and compassionate. To begin, Henry Drummond is quick-witted. This means one must be able to think of alternative solutions when one is unable to use the original...

...Dylan Snyder Mrs. Bailey English 10 Period 2 9 December 2015 Qualities of a Good Leader We determine our leaders based on their qualities and competency. Which we critically contemplate on the traits of whom we empower with such caution. So, what are some of the more crucial traits we look for in a delegate? The more valuable traits a representative can have are fairness, honesty, and confidence. Fairness may be one of the most essential traits a leader could comprise. This trait most emphasizes the means to treat all equal, and that all lives matter. Abraham Lincoln noted “These men ask for just the same thing, fairness and fairness only. This, so far as in my power, they, and all others, shall have.” Some of America’s most dignified leaders held such a trait, establishing the land of the free. Honesty is also a very valuable trait for an effective leader to poses because leaders need to be candid in order for citizens to gain their trust. Author Michael Powell notes “People look up to and want to work for a leader they trust.” This quote implies that people want a leader who won’t lie to them. A dishonest leader may often make promises he knows he can’t keep, which results in distrust and a possible impeachment. Confidence is the characteristic in which if a leader has a mindset that he is capable of being a successful dignitary he can accomplish his goals as a leader of an organization, if you don’t believe in yourself then people won’t believe in you. Elaborating...
