... It was my personal responsibility to maintain my vehicle, not only for myself but also for the fellow solders that rode inside this vehicle. Even though people feel that it’s not their duty, personal responsibility allows for good decision making because one would know the right decision and people need to know when mistakes are made. What is personal responsibility? “Personal responsibility is the willingness to both accept the importance of standards that society establishes for individual behavior and to make strenuous personal efforts to live by those standards” ("Brookings", 2014). When it comes to college success personal responsibility allows students to make better decisions. Personal responsibility can also help distinguish right from wrong. One could have a dilemma in their head of, I just got invited to a party, but I have my finals due tomorrow, what should I do? Personal responsibility will tell me that my success is more important. Whose decision is it to complete homework and to show up? It is your own and it is your own personal responsibility to complete assignments and be there. Personal responsibility means to me that I do what your supposed to do and do not deviate from the standards of the course, and completing things in a timely manner. Assignments and attendance is my duty and it is my personal responsibility to complete it. I feel that it is my responsibility to set time aside and focus on school, no one will make me but it is my personal responsibility...

...Helicopter Parenting Dawa Zangmu Paljor Sherpa Professor Vicki Villone English 102 29 January, 2015 Paljor Sherpa 1 Helicopter parents are so named because, like helicopters, they hover overhead, children will become dependent in life if their parents are always hovering over this.They pay extremely close attention to their kids lives, which includes their academic and personal lives. I choose this topic since I was quite in a shock to see different style of raising kids here and in my country. I migrated here to the States a year ago from my country Nepal with my family and planned to stay at my uncle's place for a few months who had been residing here for last 30 years. As the days passed by we all started beginning our day to day lives. Me and my younger brother attended school and parents went to work. First a few weeks, I was like a breathing statue who could not go to places on my own and would feel different talking to people. I did not feel that confident talking in English and interacting with people. I also got quite depressed with having no friends here. This seemed like a small issue to my parents and when I shared about it they always told me it will get better. But I started thinking and comparing myself to the other students here who were so confident in all the task they did. I am from an Asian background and have a totally different style of raising their children . Yes, every parent is worried about their kids future. Even my parents were, so they adopted...

...CHAPTER I Background of the Study Academic performance really means three things: this means the ability to study and remember facts, it also means being able to think in relation to facts and thirdly, it further means being able to communicate one’s knowledge verbally or practically (www.google.com). A marching band is a company of instrumental musicians performing outdoors for the purpose of entertainment and sometimes in competition. Instrumentations typically include brass, woodwinds and percussion instruments (en.wikipedia.com). The marching band at Partido State University was one of the competing units among the marching bands. They joined military parades, concerts, street parades and many more. It means that joining in marching bands had a lot of trainings and practices to be done. In this regards the academic performance of the band members maybe sacrifice because of double priorities.

Gonzales is the counsel of Araceli in two civil cases filed against Anastacio. The first involved the settlement of the estate of Manuela Teodoro and while the case was pending, Gonzales assisted in filing the subsequent case for Annulment of Document, Reconveyance and Damages without indicating the special proceeding earlier filed.
