According to Milton Berle, “If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door,” (Berle). As a college student, I agree with Berle, we can help create opportunity for ourselves and others. Recently, I finished the book “The Other Wes Moore” based on the lives of two individuals with the same name, Wes Moore, from Baltimore, Maryland. One Wes is sentenced in jail for the rest of his life, and the other Wes is a college graduate, an author, a husband, and a public speaker. The author Wes Moore claims “The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine. The tragedy is that my story could have been his,” (Moore). Once I read this I wanted to seek out an organization that is “building a door” for opportunity for high school students.

On September 23, you received an email indicating that Jan Stevenson of your library has applied for a personal loan of $5,000 and appointed you as her employment contact. You were asked to write a reference letter and to include whether or not you’ll be able to cosign or guarantee the note in any way.

Due to WellStar being a multi facility health system, its organizational design is constantly being reviewed for simpler and more efficient processes. WellStar’s two smallest hospitals, WellStar Paulding and WellStar Douglas, previously under went reconstruction with regards to their hierarchical structure in Patient Access Services (PAS). WellStar Paulding, the smallest facility of the five hospitals, renovated their managerial chain of command in PAS. WellStar Paulding’s patient volume is less than half in comparison to the 4 additional hospitals. As a result, their staff is smaller and only requires minimal supervision. In the past WellStar Administrators requested supervisors for every department, a manager of the entire department, and a director that managed PAS’ management directly and PAS staff indirectly.

...ating their resume every time they learn a new skill or new responsibility is added to their job description. Keeping your resume up to date is also beneficial just in case unique opportunities present themselves. I don’t think that the CEO should be looking for a new job at this time because he was given a time frame to improve the MIS. I believe that the CEO did the right thing by hiring an undercover consultant to help determine how or where the security leak originated. This was a smart move because she immediately identified the numerous breaches in computer security that if not addressed immediately can cost the organization thousands of dollars and penalties. I hope that the CEO brings this information to the board of directors so they can discuss a plan of action to prevent a future security breach and to ensure that the entire staff is HIPPA compliant.
The Scott Peterson case was one of the most difficult murder cases that have ever been handled by the U.S. courts in the recent memory. Scott Peterson is best known for murdering his eight- month pregnant wife, Laci Peterson, in 2002 in Modesto, California. The FBI was able to collect evidence against Peterson for the case against him. Peterson was sentenced to death by lethal injection in 2004 for the first-degree murder of his wife and the second-degree murder of their fetus son. The Scott Peterson trial was an important trial because it showed the darkness of America through his lies, less humane remarks, and the crime itself.

Surprisingly enough, I received an email that read, thank you all again for all of your outstanding contributions, signed Dave Nastase, your FES President. Right away, I became seriously relieved and jumped with amazement and shouted, "What a leader!" Dave Nastase has been with Northrop Grumman for over fifteen years and just few months ago, he was promoted to the IT Federal Enterprise Solutions (FES) President.
