    Associate's Degree Benefits

    The decision to revisit the idea of school nearly took a year of research. Applying at a traditional college was not the route I would be taking. The school, the time and effort, and of course cost ought to work for my family. A couple of the goals that steered the way to continuing my education are graduating with an associate’s degree and also implementing it into a career in Healthcare Administration. I concede that in order for me to pursue my goals I will need to maintain a schedule, ruthlessly track my progress, and retain the technical skills and knowledge needed to move forward with my impending goals.…

Edison, “I have not failed. I have just found ten thousand ways that won’t work.” These words strongly emphasize the concept of perseverance through challenges we face in life.…

    Community Work Goals

    I’ve always wanted a career in a field where I would be able to do the greatest good in the community; however, it wasn’t until my last year of community college that I realized Sociology/Human Service was the best choice. When I initially started school, I was interested in Computer Programming, but eventually learned this wasn’t the direction I wanted to move forward with. I’ve always loved helping people, and although working as a computer tech would afford me this opportunity, on some level, human service work is what I was called to do. I value the importance of being a helping hand, which is why I will continuously aspire to be the best community worker that I can be. My goal is to be a service to my community and exemplify the…

    Human Resource Management Interview

    As learning about the human resource world and what it all involves, it seems a bit over whelming yet exciting because it is so informative. “The role of human resource management is that of a partnership between the human resources (HR) department and management regardless of the organization type” (Niles, 2013). This statement was clear and loud when I sat down for an interview with Doug Kasyon a director in organizational relations, learning and development human resources in University of Colorado Denver. Doug wore many hats when it came time to his daily duties as human resources and it involved a lot of education, evaluation, and plan development with the managers of various departments as well as the employees.…

    My Motivation Of Schoolwork

    When I was at home doing schoolwork, I was never super motivated to do my schoolwork, which isn 't really abnormal for a kid. I would always only do the least amount of work possible for me to get by. I mean, what kid wouldn 't want to do the least possible, to have more time to play or hangout with friends? My parent’s philosophy in educating all of my siblings, myself included, was to help us find what we really enjoyed doing, and what we were naturally drawn towards and then help us focus in on those things. In theory that teaching philosophy isn’t necessarily a bad thing.…

    Argumentative Essay On The Benefits Of Education

    Life is what you make of it, such that a person can be an astronaut to become the next Neil Armstrong or work at a fast food establishment. Each one of these occupations have their own benefits but one thing they don’t have in common is education. With education and higher skill level there will be more work responsibility, finical compensation and more opportunities for advancement. Without additional education there is less chance for advancement In 2015, I was forced into a position to make a choice if my current employment was right for me or if going to school would open up more opportunities for me.…
