...tutors assist with homework, applying to college, applying to scholarships, and internship assistance. Those that are accepted to four year colleges and universities can be transferred to the College Sponsorship section of the program. UFC has a College Sponsorship Program (CSP) that financially supports youth to their bachelor’s degree. It also gives a CSP coordinator to help navigate the college experience. A CSP coordinator assists with any obstacles that might hinder one from obtaining a degree. They allow three thousand dollars a year—fall, spring and anytime funds. These monies are unrestricted to use for anything that will help you meet your educational goals. Sponsorship coordinators meet with their students at least once a quarter and they always send gift cards throughout the year. Mostly Target and Starbucks cards for birthdays, holidays, and the beginning of school quarters, as encouragement. For youth who do not go straight into a four year college, there is an option called College Readiness Program (CRP) that assists potential students with information and resources for going to college; including dormitory living because not all CRP students live in Pathways Housing. Again, assistance applying to four year universities is encouraged as well as scholarships. UFC offers its own University of Southern California (USC) scholarship, entitled the UFC to USC scholarship. It provides a partial tuition reimbursement for being affiliated. After one terminates from the...

...school is no longer as important and this is where goals no longer will be met. My motivation I would say comes from the University Of Southern California. In my family attending a university is a huge step. My family; are the ones who push me that extra step and let me know about the consequences in not having a college degree. Attending a university will make my parents happy. Accomplishing my goals I see how important it is. Education is big; having this will lead one through a successful journey. This all started the day I went to go see Trojans play at the coliseum. I was sitting in the hot sun. The bleachers were packed of fans. I was waiting for the team to come out and play the game. The game began Stanford was winning at first then finished the game 22 to 9 Trojans had won .After the game was over it had me thinking about college, universities and my education.

...amount of opportunities you have to grow. For example, the economy in the recent years has taken a beating and we are still trying to recover. The unemployment was high and competition was as hard as ever and companies seemed to have the tendency to hire based off referrals. According to the New York Times, in 2015 large companies like Ernest & Young show that 45% of non-entry level hires came from referrals compared to only 28 percent in 2010. This type of power can lead to an unhealthy way of thinking; it creates a jealousy towards those who are successful in their field because you might be even more fit for the job than they are but because of their relationships they were offered the job. When applying to the University of Southern California, their compelling argument as to why I should choose them was how big the networking system is and that Trojans care for Trojans. This gives the students...

We buy groceries, computers, and cars. We purchase services ranging from bank accounts to college educations. However, we also know that consumers are different from one another. We buy different clothes, drive different cars, and eat different foods. Moreover, even the same consumer can make different decisions depending on the situation. So how are we to construct coherent marketing strategies? In this class we will learn how and why consumers behave the way that they do. We will explore our intuitions about our own behavior. We will learn about theories developed in marketing, psychology and other behavioral sciences.

...EFFORTS TO REDUCE OZONE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Team A SCI/362 June 29, 2011 Kenneth Rayford “EFFORTS TO REDUCE OZONE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA” The Los Angeles Basin is a plain that lies between the Pacific Ocean and mountains to the north and east. During the summer, the sunny climate produces a layer of warm, dry air at upper elevations. Southern California counties are where almost 15 million people reside. South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is a governmental organization established in 1977 to deal with the historically poor air quality in the area surrounding Los Angeles. Air pollution injures organisms, reduces visibility, and attacks and corrodes materials such as metals, plastics, rubber, and fabrics. The respiratory tracts of animals, including humans, are particularly harmed by air pollutants, which worsen existing medical conditions such as chronic lung disease, pneumonia, and cardiovascular problems. Discussed in our paper will be several key points that will highlight very important details in regards to the efforts to reduce ozone in Southern California. Topics to be discussed are; described the historical development of the issue, the stakeholder’s involvement in the issue, and the long term effects of the problem, the responsibilities that arise from the ethical position and try to find a solution to this major problem. Air pollution in California began just after World War II. Southern California has been known to have the worst...

...UNRESOLVED GRIEF AND CONTINUING BONDS: AN ATTACHMENT PERSPECTIVE Much of the contemporary bereavement literature on the continuing bond to the deceased (CB) has emphasized its adaptiveness and given limited attention to when it may be maladaptive. The attachment literature on disorganized– unresolved attachment classification in relation to loss, or ‘‘unresolved loss,’’ is informative in identifying CB expressions that are indicative of failure to integrate the death of a loved one. In this article, an important linkage is identified between a prominent indicator of unresolved loss that involves a lapse in the monitoring of reasoning implying disbelief that the person is dead and the clinical writings of J. Bowlby (1980) and V. D. Volkan (1981) on maladaptive variants of CB expression. The aim is to highlight the value of the attachment literature on unresolved loss in clarifying the conditions under which CB is likely to be maladaptive. There is increasing agreement among bereavement theorists and practitioners that an ongoing attachment to the deceased can be an integral part of successful adaptation to bereavement (Klass, Silverman, & Nickman, 1996). This position, commonly known as the ‘‘continuing bonds’’ perspective, is counter to that presented by Freud (1917=1957) in his classic work ‘‘Mourning and Melancholia,’’ in which he proposed that successful adaptation to loss required the bereaved to detach his or her psychic investment in the deceased...

...“The Slave Power Conspiracy and Latin America” Throughout the course of America’s history there have been events that are so unbelievable and lack sufficient evidence to back them up, thus they become known as conspiracies. One of these conspiracies is the idea of Slave Power. The Slave Power Conspiracy, to most American’s this conspiracy is probably unknown, but it relates to an idea which is a topic of debate among scholars and historians. The Slave Power Conspiracy is an idea that came to be in the 1840’s and lasted till the end of the Civil War. As was stated this idea is a conspiracy as there is no direct evidence to give it a strong foundation or validity in our time. The term “Slave Power” coined in 1864 in a book written by John Smith Dye entitled “History Of The Plots And Crimes Of The Great Conspiracy To Overthrow Liberty In America.” The term started off simply as the Slave Power (conspiracy was added in the modern era). In the book Dye alleges that since the time of Independence, the aristocrats of the South and politicians from the South have had an agenda to extend slavery to the Western United States and Latin America and thus increase their power, wealth, and influence in the United States.[1] There are certain events that happened in Dye’s time that can show this idea was real. They can also prove the legitimate and real threat Slave Power posed, to Latin America. By examining all angles...

...Media Reaction SOC/315 Abstract I am a firm believer that education should be available to anyone who wants to continue their education after High School. But there is one issue that I do have a problem with and that is the state of California offering Financial Aid to “Illegal” undocumented students who have come into the country to better themselves. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that they should be banned from doing so; I just think there needs to be a line that has to be drawn. During this article I am going to write I will point out some of the drawbacks I see from the “California Dream Act” the way it has affected my family directly and how it has prevented them from continuing their education and get to where they want to be in life. I believe every one is entitled to their opinions on anything that is brought up regardless of what the topic is. Financial Aid for Undocumented Students The “California Dream Act” states “An undocumented high-school graduate or GED recipient would be eligible to adjust to conditional lawful permanent resident (LPR) status if they have been physically present in the United States for at least five years and were younger than 16 when they first entered the country. (Immigration Policy Center, Para 6, 2010) I am all for today’s youth receiving an education and moving forward with their lives, but I have a problem when them receiving their education and continuing their lives gets in the way of my family...
