I now live in the United States with my lovely wife and my two-year-old son. I am intending to pursue an associate degree in Business Administration.

One new thing I learned after the scavenger hunt activity was where to find the student catalog in both Moodle and Student Portal. Previously, I thought the student catalog was only available on Moodle. It was a great activity and it reactivated my skimming and scanning reading technique.

The role of higher education institutions in today’s world is to identify and recognize the changes taking place in the world around us. Higher education

    I first started looking for a summer internship during the spring 2015 school semester. I used various outlets and applied to many jobs in Long Island, NY and in Albany, NY. I found that using career websites, such as CareerSaint or Indeed.com, did not result in me finding much because I would send out my resume, and not really know who my resume went to so I could not follow up with the company if I wanted to. So, I started researching online, mainly using search engines such as Google.com, companies that I thought would be a good fit for me. My major is Actuarial Science, however I am still looking at working in different areas in business in order to find something that I really enjoy doing and can see myself doing as a career for the rest of my life.…

    When I first began this assignment, I thought that the question, “Who am I?,” was a very difficult one to answer. However, as I began to answer the question, there came to light some interesting similarities. If I were to categorize each of my answers in terms of gender, age, ethnicity, race, or religion, then I believe I only addressed those with the first and fifth time answering the question. My first answer was, “I am a white male American who attends school and goes to work.” That answer provides information about how I see my physical self in context with the culture I live in.…

    According to Yeager, Nelson, Potter, Weidman & Zullo (2001) in many ways higher education should be seen as a business as it “produces and sells educational services to customer” (as cited by Winston, 1999, p.13). However, at the same time, while education is indeed a business in some retrospect, it should not be regarded as only a business either. Over the last several decades, many economists have attempted to solve the array of issues surrounding the idea that education should be seen as a way to strengthen society and its ability to maintain a stabilized economy that is ever growing. However, throughout history, an idea that originated by Adam Smith, the founding father of economics, is that education should be used counter the negative side-effects of economic development (Gilead, 2015, p. 625).…

    The mission of higher education institutions have indeed changed in recent years as compared to a few decades ago. Before the 1940's, in America higher educational institutions were still solely for those in the elite society. Those with disabilities, of a different race, or of a lower class rarely ever got the same opportunity of those in the elite class to participate in a higher education institution. Most of these institutions were for a particular class, specialized in minimum fields of study, and also lack academic rigor. After the passing of several bills such as the GI Bill in 1944 and the Higher Education Act of 1965, discrimination/segregation within these institutions were lifted, funds were placed to help those less fortunate to…

    Even though there has been a lot of confusion between people about the purposes of higher education. Frequently, people think that higher education is meant to prepare professionals for the next generation and they are not mistaken; however, the most oblivious thing to say is that higher education allows people to secure well paying jobs. Although I believe that there is more to life like being educated properly. By simply making a difference in someone’s life is more fulfilling than having a lot of money or living in a big house near a beautiful city. Within this society anybody can find the purpose of higher education.…
