Future value

National Honor Society (NHS) is built upon four key values (scholarship, character, leadership, and service), and I think that I exemplify all four of these values, as I show them through my contribution to the club now and as I will show them through my future officer position of secretary; due to the fact that I exhibit these qualities, I will also be able to leave NHS better than I found when I leave the club in the future.

You've got to be able to inspire with a vision of the future," Gill Rider says. "One of my most important personal values is inherited from my previous employer.

Living and existing are two distinct actions. To use all available senses and appreciate the value of a constructed reality is perhaps one of the most difficult tasks humans face on a daily basis. Details become insignificant and a person may ignore the grand scope of their environment for the sake of following his or her routine.

The key to any kind of dream in the world is having a purpose. Having purpose is the key in enabling anyone in the world to do anything they aspire to do. It gives anyone the power to work harder, strive further, and have meaning in whatever they do, and having purpose is the sole meaning behind living life, whether it’s living for someone, something, or even yourself. One of the main purposes of my life is to live for the people who have shaped me into the person that I am today.…

About to end my sophomore year terrified, still in the process of figuring out what my declared major was going to be. Everyone says that you have so much time to figure out what you want to do in life or what you want to be when you grow up, but I continued to feel as if my time was just about over. I didn’t want to continue taking class not knowing if they are even going to be needed for my major. I was on a mission to figure out what the best path for me was and to do it quick.

In any situation where the future is an important focus in business, which should be always, just one prediction will not be enough most of the time.

Recently I purchased the Starcraft remaster version and I thought I should see if Blizzard has any finance openings. It would be an incredible opportunity to work at a company that has had a huge impact on my life as I have been a fan Blizzard games dating back to the mid 90’s starting with Diablo. I was thrilled to see that a few openings existed in the finance area. Particularly the Senior Manager, Financial Planning, and Analysis because of well it lines up with my past experience and…
