I began my senior project expedition probably my junior year. I was in A.V.I.D. and I became aware of the need to think about ideas of what I intended to do my senior project on. It truly wasn’t until the first month of my senior year where my English teacher mentioned to us that we would begin to work on our senior project. I had a plethora of ideas on what I pictured myself on doing my project on. One of my many ideas was on auto-customization. I enjoy learning about cars and their different attributes. I was interested in learning how to upgrade a cars performance and power. I was interested in learning how to change the interior parts of a car. I also thought of doing it on becoming a disc jockey (D.J.). This topic intrigued …show more content…
The United States has businesses all over the world, from Hawaii to Indonesia. Some of the richest businesses such as Nike don’t operate in the United States. In fact they operate all the way in Asia and China. “Small businesses account for more than 40 percent of the offline economy. (Small Business Facts, IDC Jan 2001) Small business is a very impacted industry in the United States. So impacted, that business owners take their business to foreign countries to have more profit due to the fact that materials cost less in other countries. “85 percent of Americans view small business as positive influence on American life (Small Business Facts, NFIB, 2001) Small businesses offer more than just the business itself. They offer jobs for many people. “Small businesses represent more than 99 percent of all employers.” (Small Business Administration, 2000) This is a huge percentage. It shows that business is the biggest field in the world. “An estimated of 85 percent of small businesses will be conducting business over the Internet by 2002.” (Small Business Administration, June …show more content…
Wood companies that did not want to associate with his new flooring company caused some problems. This motivated him to really become successful. It took him about 2 weeks to find a company that will negotiate with his flooring company. After he had a deal with a wood company he began to advertise his company. “It was hard to advertise with a lot of competition out there.” He had some struggle getting customers. After time he went and advertised his company himself. He went to Corona del Mar and advertised his flooring company there and also at Newport Beach. There he began gaining popularity and began getting more and more customers. He hired trustworthy and skilled people to work for him. He asked his boss if he encountered any obstacles he could not find a solution to. After a few years of growth he opened a mini taco restaurant. He has faced many obstacles and has managed to make the correct decisions.
With this interview I learned a lot of things dealing with business and real life situations. I learned that having a successful could be possible. Talking to Arturo really a painted a picture of what the business life is all about. He gave me personal situations of how he managed to keep his business running. I learned many business skills that he learned are needed in order to be a good
My focus of inquiry is gender roles. I chose gender roles as my focus of inquiry because there are multiple differences and similarities in the expectations of women and men then and now. The comparisons between the roles of each gender was enlightening. It made me want to know more, like how, when ,and why they changed if they did, or if they stayed the same what was there significance. This topic seemed to be interesting because these roles are something men and women everywhere experience in everyday life, but in each place around the world they could be different.
I choose head start as my topic, I chose this because I think that head start is something that can really benefit the children and how you are starting them in a positive learning experience that can affect the student throughout their life. I also chose this because when I was in high school I went over to the head start and would help volunteer and it was incredible to see how much the students knew and how fast they would pick up new things.
In my first semester, I took English IV and dedicated all of my extra time to completing my graduation project. The project was a huge part of my grade for English, and if I did not meet the requirements for it, I would not have graduated. It was required that I write a research paper, create a product, record my progress in a portfolio, and present it all at the end of the semester. It was also required that I complete the project with a mentor. At the time, I was not sure what my career goals were, but I was interested in pediatrics and decided that it should be my topic in order to learn more about the
I have matured more as a person and have realized that I need to work hard but understand that it’s okay to give yourself a break sometimes. I often over stressed about my school work and it didn’t benefit me all the time. This project highlighted that I am creative, hardworking, and patient. I had to be creative when I came up with my painting idea and hardworking to get it done. I had to be patient when completing the painting because it took a lot of time and I really wanted them to look good. I learned that donating to your community around you not only benefits that person or group, but also benefits yourself too. I learned that I really like making people happy because it makes me happy and will be volunteering in the
what I wanted to become. So after graduation I decided to explore my options at
...t the last year of high school would be less agonizing without a laborious issue such as a Culminating Project, to attend to. Therefore, these points have been covered: what the project is, examples of different advocators of the project, and the different viewpoints of why it is useful verses why it is not. Hopefully, this can change the ideals and opinions of the administrators and enforcers of the Senior Project, to consider what a hindrance it is.
There I was, poised with the first draft of my masters thesis, ready to jack it under the rear wheels of my car so that I could vent my anger and frustration. Never had I felt this kind of undiluted rage in dealing with a piece of writing. As far as I was concerned, the first draft was complete and therefore the entire piece was finished; however, my thesis advisor didn’t quite agree with me. A less deranged friend of mine talked me out of repeatedly backing over my thesis, and convinced me that it didn’t really matter if I did leave tire marks on it because I had multiple drafts on my disk. But still, I knew that it would just feel so good to leave some tire tread on the paper.
It can be hard to know what one wants to do when they’re older. There are certain things to consider, like a level of interest in the topic, how much information one would already know, how much that will be needed to know, and to take in if this is what one would want to do in their future life. I know for me when I have to think about future plans it can really worry me. I tend to get stressed out, scared, and wanting to avoid the topic entirely, even though in the back of my mind I know I need to stop running away with what I need to currently take care of. It’s a lot like in the tragedy play of Macbeth. There was so much pressure to always be something more. If a right hand man of the king wasn’t good enough, then he had to be king himself.
One day that made all the other days seem to disappear. I woke up just like every other day, thinking all is well, only today is different, today is life changing. I’m a mother who has dedicated my entire life to my babies, and within a few hours, my whole life was turned upside down. My son has epilepsy, a seizure disorder that up until that day I knew nothing about. When you think of seizures, you think of thrashing around and foaming of the mouth, I sure did. For Blayk, my three year old son, yet, that was not the case. It started out that he was just quiet, which was not different from his normal disposition. A few minutes later, I noticed a spiked fever, followed by vomiting. To be honest, at this point, I didn’t think too much of his
I am from the island of Falalop Woleai which is one the outer islands of Yap State. The culture I was born and raised in has slightly changed over the years but our traditions are strongly practiced and respected. Woleaians today still wears traditional attire of loin cloths or “thus” for men and lava lavas for women.
I think the project that most impacted me as a learner was the memorial project. This projected made me grow as a learner because I had to work with someone that I had never worked with before. When we started just getting a topic that we both wanted to do was the first thing that made me realize that this project was going make me need to use and learn some new skills. My partner and I had some trouble with trying to come up with a design to show everything we wanted to show for our topic. We had to be patient with each other making sure the we both listing to each other and understanding what and why they wanted to do this. We also has some trouble with communication because we didn’t completely understand what the other wanted making ti hard to finalize our design. Another thing with communication was who was doing what my partner didn’t always know what to do so we would sometimes end up wasting time trying to find something for her to do that she wanted to do. Communicating was something that I really improved on for this project teaching me how to be more specific with what I say so that we don’t get confused later. Over all I think that this memorial project as the one that made me use more of the learner profile skills then any other and helped me improve one one as
There have been tons of things that I have learned and been taught in my life, by a number of people such as family, teachers, or even friends on occasion. The things they taught me vary from math and other related subjects to just some truly simple yet meaningful life lessons. However, there is nothing quite as unique, quite as special as a person teaching themselves a life lesson. It really is an amazing accomplishment for a person to teach themselves something. It is not quite as simple as another person teaching them something because it is not just the transferring of information from one person to another. The person instead has to start from scratch and process the information they have in their mind in order to come up with a new thought
I have chosen the topic of social psychology and its uses within business. I chose this topic due to my pursuit of a Bachelors degree in Business Management. I am also in the process of starting my own company and know that it is important to not only know what your customers want and need, but also your employees. I have gained this insight as a Non-Commissioned Officer in the United States Marine Corps. Being able to use the techniques researched and their effects will have a positive impact on my future career.
It’s the nature of parents to want the best for their children. They want to give the best clothes, the most nutritional food and what is the most important is the best education for their children. However, it is a little bit more complicated when it comes to decide what is best for their children’s education. It is very difficult to decide for the children’s education path especially when they are entering college or university, because at this age most children have not discovered their true identity and interest yet. A lot of students nowadays do not have any satisfactory answer when they were asked why they chose a particular course or subject in university. Most of them will probably answer because it is what their parents tell them to learn and this situation is really a concern that people need to put their thought into. University students should know why they want to take a particular course in order for them to have a clear life goal and ardour to achieve it. They should not hide behind their parents shadow and just blindly follow what their parents think they should do. It is vital for parents not to make final decision for their children’s field of studies due to the generation gap, dissimilar passion and also higher probability of inaccurate judgement.
Being an entrepreneur, is advanced citizenship, you have to want it real bad. Entrepreneur is not entitlement. Being an entrepreneur is a life commitment. Like in the movie Wall Street, a famous line was "You can 't be a little bit pregnant." The fact is you can 't be an on again, off again entrepreneur.
