...had a major effect on my growth as a person, teaching me keep learning, stand for what I believe, and always be informed. My father during the Vietnam War was stationed in Munich, Germany. During his time there, as well as his childhood in Detroit, he came to have many zany and hilarious stories, from jumping out helicopters into holes of fire ants, to his rule as Prom Queen for Michigen State. His stories amaze me to this day, and drive me to live a life as memorable as his. Also stemming from his army days was my interest in the military. He's collected varying memorbilia from past Gaumer generations, from dog tags to my grandfather's handmade rifle. Our military history, and my dad's vast knowlegde of war led to me loving history, reseaching in my free time, and even considering to become Airborne like him....

...Individual Business Survey November 13, 2011 Individual Business Survey The paper will consist of a major problem in a government organization. A 10-question survey has been created for the employees so that the employer can better understand how the employees feel. Moving along, in the problem statement poor, middle-level management seems to have developed in the organization, which resulted with too many angry employees. Complaints are on the rise and are in need of a resolution quickly. For example, it has been said from employees that they are treated unfairly, misunderstood, belittled, disrespected, and certainly have been devalued as an employee by middle level management. This has gone on far too long, and a resolution must be in placed soon. Upper-management figured they must hire a firm to come in and alleviate the lack of management skills within the organization. The firm will train the managers with enhancement in communication, social, employee relation skills, and so on. This class estimates to last five days including seven hours each day. So therefore, 35 hours of training is involved and should result in improving their management skills in the workplace. The purposed survey addresses the problems that will ultimately lead to a conclusion to enhance the poor management skills in the workplace. It covers how the current employees feel about working at his or her job. It is important for an employer to know how satisfied are their employees...

...lazy, if I didn’t already. Thudding boomed in my ears, dizzily I rushed through bustling hallways, shuffling my way to class, like any other day, religiously. Entering the nearly empty classroom the steady thumping of my heart beat quickened, so did my breath, how could no one else hear this but me? “Did you finish?” sounded through the class as I entered Chemistry, I think I asked this. Thankfully Chlourefive had a sub, sadly we had a project. To create a hero after a compound, have two powers show these in your picture, and to have them wearing their compound symbol, cute and simply considering it was an advanced class, I appreciate him giving us an easy but thoughtful project. Alternatively I switched, though rather rarely, between reseaching different compounds and writing down ...

...UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY: INVESTIGATING THE LANGUAGE PRACTICES OF MULTILINGUAL GRADE 9 LEARNERS AT A PRIVATE DESEGREGATED HIGH SCHOOL IN SOUTH AFRICA. Submitted by: Nomakhalipha Margaret Nongogo Student Number: 0309644N Supervised by Dr Carolyn McKinney Research report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand in partial fulfilment of the degree of Masters of Arts in Applied English Language Studies. 2007 ABSTRACT This research report engages with the concern that African learners attending English medium, multiracial schools are losing their proficiency in African languages. In so doing, the report explores the language practices of four multilingual Grade 9 learners at a desegregated private high school in Gauteng. In a school environment that does not overtly support the use of African languages, I explore the extent to which multilingual learners use African languages in the school context, to position themselves and others, as an identity building resource, and the extent to which the use of African languages is implicated in their identities. I also explore the possible influence of the learners’ cultural and ethnic backgrounds on their language practices, and related to this, the expression of their identities. I look at how their language practices help them shift identities with space and purpose, and the contradictions therein. The study draws on poststructuralist theories of language and...
