Throughout the course I learned about my personality and my strengths that I could use to my advantage for career options. The Type Coach Report diagnosed me as INFJ, an introvert-intuitive-feeler-judger, which ultimately meant that I am an idea generator. I have the tendency to find solutions that would create a positive impact on others for a long-term expectancy. The report mentioned that INFJ’s have “exceptional work ethic,” and I could not agree with a statement more. I have the mentality…

I have been impressed with the readings for this class. When it comes to incivility, it is interesting to see that even though it has been published in a book and articles have been written, there are still those who do not understand the magnitude of this issue in higher education or in the general public. I agree with Twale and DeLuca, when they state that incivility has behaviors that are indicative of bullying (Twale & DeLuca, 2008). When co-workers show intolerance or disrespect toward…

I decided to pursue a career in law because I felt that it was the quickest and most meaningful way to impact the lives of hundreds, if not thousands. The job itself is demanding, but getting to the position where you can even attempt to get a job as a…

The Plan for Achieving my Dreamed Job I repeatedly ask this question to myself. How I will succeed in achieving my goal?

Workings on the healthcare path as a Medical Assistant made me confirm what I want…

Since graduating from Weber State University (WSU) with a Bachelors of Science in Electronics Engineering Technology (BSEET) in 2010, I have been working as an engineer in many capacities.

“So, Ellen, what are your plans for after graduation?” a nosy, albeit well meaning, great-aunt asks. I stare into her intent, keen expression as it bores into me. She is leant forward, on the edge of the armchair, facing me, while maintaining her friendly demeanor in tone, her expression remains unreadable. Her sudden undivided attention shines a bright spotlight on me and I know she is hanging on to every breath I take, before I even speak. The couch becomes a stage. However I saw this coming…
