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

    Compass Airlines, I had the pleasure of being a part of your team and had a rewarding experience as a Flight Attendant. I had to choose between Compass Airlines and furthering my education at one point in time because my school of choice was not willing to allow me to take online classes for the graduate degree program. At the time I had to decide to give my all to school and leave the company. I knew that this decision to attend school would cause my availability to not meet the scheduling needs of the company and had to decide between the two. It was a very hard decision to make because I loved my job.…

    After one week break, week eight, we had to return to the clinical placement, Shalom Manor. Before the break I was on the fourth floor for seven weeks, it took me a couple of weeks to get used to the residents what their likes and dislikes; especially with their seating arrangement in the dining room. Every resident has specific sites that they sit every time they enter the dining room. The reason they sit in the same seat, I believe there would not be confusion with their meal. For example, some table has regular texture diet and another table has a modification in their diet due to different types of health problems.…

    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.…

At times, I have posted notes on my cell phone calendar, so I get a daily reminder.…

    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…
