Philosophy: When I hear the word philosophy I think about thinking. If you would have asked me that same question before I took this class, I would tell you that Philosophy sounds like a super difficult class that is going to consist of your opinion. Philosophy is talking about how you think and your opinion, but it is also teaching you how to look at other people and figure out how they think. Not just what they think but where their views are coming from. This paper is about how we become…

I’ve tried to come up with alternative ways to explain why I want to become a physician’s assistant, but I just cannot find the words if it’s not the truth. This is a difficult essay for me to write because no one else knows this story besides my husband and to explain myself efficiently I need to start from the beginning. My mother only attended college for a short period until she met my father, got married and had two children. She never went back to school or found a career because my father…

During my JA in a Day internship, I learned quickly that student engagement would be important to the lesson plan. Having younger classes, I knew that we would have to keep the students engaged or they would lose interest quickly. A main engagement strategy we used was positive reinforcement. Students, especially the younger ones, want to be praised for their hard work. While the students were working on the activities, my partner and I would constantly let the students know they were doing…

Accounting is a declining major because students don’t want to put in the work that goes into all the classes in order to receive their degree. From 1998 the percentage of students that are graduating with this degree has fallen 14.9% (Hunt, 2008). The number of resumes that have been submitted to the program has fallen from 180 to 96 but the number of schools that want accounting students has grown from 110 to 222 (Hunt, 2008). These statistics are showing us that it isn’t the lack of…

In the book Numbers, Jem goes from having nobody who loves her to having many, but it comes with a price. In the book Jem is in a foster home, and has nobody who is there for her. Jem doesn't want to be close to anyone. Jem acts shy and doesn't want to get close to people because she can see their death date, by just looking into their eyes. She thinks this is a curse, but some people think it is a gift. In the book Numbers by Rachel Ward, Jem is shy and wants to be alone, but through meeting…

"I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet." I think this proverb means that there are people out there that have less than what I have and that I shouldn't complain about what I have. I may not like the food on my plate, but I should eat it all anyways. There are kids in the streets that worry about how they are going to get food every day while I lounge around waiting for my parents to make my food for me. Some people - including myself - need to be more thankful for…

If someone were to ask you “What is an American?”, most people would state that we have the power of freedom. Others would say we have many opportunities and big dreams that we hope for in the future. America is full of many life-changing possibilities, and you will have many different opportunities that you will encounter. In other countries, most people are slaves, they aren’t able to do what they want, or they aren’t able to fulfill their dreams that they had set aside. That’s where America…

Getting a Job for Dummies ‘What are you doing here?’ ‘You could be making money’ ‘Do something with your life!’ These are a few of the points parents tell teenagers when young, and everybody knows they are so right. Looking for a job might be the hardest thing people will ever do. It could be for the reason that people are too lazy to look for a job, or their parents put too much pressure on them. Finding the right job could be so difficult just for the reason that these people don’t want to go…

As young adults we are taught to develop skills and talents which with time will become our reputation. Building a leadership brand requires determination and innovation as well as an open mind. Just as brands evolve over centuries a person has to be able to be self-aware of its surrounding and how they change. In the article “Five steps to building your leadership brand”, Ulrich and Smallwood describe a leadership brand as conveying your identity and distinctiveness as a leader and…
