In the course of the next year I will earn my associate’s degree in applied sciences (computer network systems) from ITT-Technical College. Once I’ve earned my two year degree I will move seamlessly into the bachelor’s program for network security at ITT-Tech. While earning my bachelor’s degree I intend to attain several vendor specific IT certifications; specifically the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) and the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) accreditations. Beyond formal education I will continue to maintain and upgrade my skill set in order to keep up with the ever evolving field of information technology. How my education, training, and experience relates to the position The expert instruction I received during my course of study for CompTIA’s A+ and Network+ certifications have given me a solid foundation in hardware and software configuration, troubleshooting, and repair. I have been privileged to own and operate my own small IT repair business (CMD Computer & Network Services) for the past two years. This has afforded me the opportunity to hone my both my interpersonal skills as well as my technical abilities. The Center for Employment Training has been one of my most consistent clients over the past two years. This relationship...

I am sincerely motivated to work hard and succeed in your class. As a new student to ITT I expect many challenges. I believe my past work experience will help me succeed. Though the class has just begun I believe I will be able to find relevant and practical uses for what I learn in my future endeavors. I am truly motivated to start a new career in an IT field. I have always enjoyed working with and on computers and enjoy the benefits of new technology. I am a problem solver and enjoy challenges and love computers. For these reasons and many more I hope to learn and excel in the IT field. I have owned several businesses in the past that changed rapidly due to the advancement of computer software and the Internet. In the 1990s I owned a commodities brokerage that was primarily run from landline telephone communication. As the internet grew and online self serve brokerages came along, the need for live people and telephones became obsolete. Computer technology soon took over the brokerage industry causing many brokerages to close their doors. I am a problem solver. I have a need to fix what is broken. As an IT specialist in a rapidly changing field this will keep me entertained for years. I look forward to learning from you, Jason...

... with a sincere sense of gratification towards the opportunity extended to me, I pen down this statement of purpose with the hope of pursuing my advanced studies. Such studies I believe are indispensable for my future career development and a lifetime benefit. In college, became aware of the diversity of cultures and social systems. In addition to having some of the most recognized and lauded faculty in world, SUNY Maritime College is committed to maintaining a diverse student population, and as a person of African heritage who grew up in Jamaica, and is now planning to embark on my university studies in the United States, I see this commitment to diversity as an essential element in my career objective. Besides spending time on studying and research, I have participated in a variety of social activities both in and out of school. My capacities, especially the organizing and communicating skills, have been further strengthened through my role as Public Relations Officer at my community Youth Club and Youth President at my Church. I used to take part in athletics and help to organized Youth Club competitions. I also organized community Labor Day projects.

...ITT-TECH FLUNK OUT MS. SKINNER [Type the author name] 8/5/2013 In the evolving social climate of today’s society, the importance of higher education is being stressed more than ever. It is becoming increasingly rare to procure a well-paying occupation without first obtaining a college degree. However, college administrators estimate that almost a third of all college students drop out of school sometime during their freshmen year. There are a variety of factors that influence a student’s likelihood to drop out of college, including financial, personal, and work-related issues. One of the most common reasons students drop out of college is financial complications. With government funding dropping, colleges rely largely on higher student tuitions. A study in 2011 estimated the average cost of attending a four-year college to be $8,244 for in-state students and $12,526 for out-of-state students. For many students, such a gratuitous amount of money is simply unattainable. (Hardin, 2007) In addition, because many individuals without college degrees are limited to minimum wage jobs, even working students are often unable to fund their educations due to low incomes. If a student does not receive financial aid or parental support, they are even less likely to be able to afford the ever-rising cost of higher education. Once a student experiences the inflated price of college tuition and supplies, dropping out may become a financial necessity. ...

...Intelligence, using our recognition of tone and sounds. Such sounds can include human voice, or musical instruments; Intrapersonal, relying on person to person encounter; Interpersonal, such as our feelings and self reflection; and Naturalistic, where nature helps relax and free our minds to comprehend the learning materials. No one learning style is better than the other. Some of us have a mixture of personal learning styles. Information and technology changes every day so by knowing our learning style, we will be able to apply ourselves to the changes in life. Your learning style is essentially your working style. (Keys to College Studying, 2002, Page 39) If we know our personal learning style, we can maximize our learning. Other positives to knowing our personal learning style can include understanding our instructor better, managing our studies, and even planning career realistically. There are tests and quizzes we can take to help us determine which learning style is our personal learning style(s)....

...Emmitt Blevins GS1140 Mr. Ellington FAMILY PROBLEMS For my final assignment there was a list of topics to choose from, most of the topics I couldn’t relate to except what I have chosen, a family problem. This topic will be the most difficult to put together, as I will write about a dysfunctional mother. Before she became the dysfunctional mother she had a promising future. When I was in high school I met the mother of my daughter, we fell for each other and got married. Decided we wanted to start a family after a year of being married, we felt it was time. We got pregnant and lost the baby girl at 10 weeks, we were devastated, but we weren’t giving up. Month goes by and we learn we are pregnant once again, this time we took the proper medical steps that we didn’t know about before. We learned we were pregnant right after 9/11, which to us made our pregnancy that much more exciting. Time goes on, life choices have broken me and her up. Our daughter, that’s now 12 years, wasn’t 2 years old yet. I have often wondered to myself, if we didn’t get divorced would she be this way. Is this truly my fault? Then I realize she made her choices which put her where she is today. Since her and I broke up, we have both moved on and started separate lives but always connected. She had gotten remarried and had a new life with three children (2 his 1 hers). She had settled into her life happily, at least that’s how she showed herself to the public. She had started telling...

...Philipe Cannada ITT Technical Institute-Duluth Turn on your television, radio, or attend any political event and one of the main topics will most likely be a conversation about whether the Common Core State Standards are good or bad for our students. Every parent, educator, policy maker, researcher and citizens of the United States needs to join the debate of Common Core State Standards for the rights of our future: the children born and unborn of this great country. How can we call our country a world power with 20 or more countries performing better than the United States in mathematics since the early nineties? Why is there even a debate amongst these groups when based on the 2014 PDK/Gallup poll of the public’s attitudes toward the public school revealed that 58% of Americans said the curriculum used in their community’s schools needs to change (pdkintl.org, 2014). The same poll revealed that the public believes only 13% of high school graduates are ready for the world of work, and only 31% ready for college (pdkintl.org, 2014). With all of this why are we all not taking a stand for the Common Core State Standards? The Common Core State Standards for mathematics create a staircase where students can build upon their knowledge conceptually at a pace that will be standardized across the country. Every student regardless of socioeconomic status, demographics, or political background should have the same pathway for their education. For example, a student in Atlanta should...
