When I was tasked to write my philosophy, I pondered on what I should discuss. As I thought back on what means the most to me and how I will lead my troops, I had to refer to my personal mission statement that I wrote for myself after I became a parent many years ago: Through the test and trials of life; endure, stay focused, stay encouraged and be reminded that joy comes in the morning. Never forget the morals and values that were instilled in me. Make sure my children possess and maintain…

One of the key parts of a Strategic plan is the mission statement. The mission statement is important to inform others, such as investors and workers, on what the purpose is of the company and the vision of where they see themselves in the future. They should be challenging, measurable, strategic, and motivating. Office Depot’s mission statement is quite short. It reads: “Office Depot, Inc. is a resource and a catalyst to help customers work better. We are a single source for everything…

I. Opening Ice Breaker — Commonalities The purpose of this activity is to have each small group find as many things in common as possible that you cannot tell by looking at them, their gender or affiliation to Kappa.

In the town of Kaikoura, New Zealand, a heritage building is located by the Kaikoura Peninsula, known as the Fyffe House. This area is well known for bringing in European settlers around the 1840s due to whaling, and it is the interest in whales that makes it still relevant for people today through the recreation of whale watching. It appears that the Fyffe House is the only physical evidence that reflects the time of European settlement in this region. Therefore, it should be explored how the…

Ann Duffy, Sad Joke on a Marae by Apirana Taylor, District 9 directed by Neill Blomkamp and Barton Fink directed by Joel Coen. I expected all of my texts to be able to reflect one another as they were all from a similar time period. In particular, I expected District 9 and Sad Joke on a Marae to draw similar points as they are both texts that illustrate alienation towards indigenous people, with Sad Joke on a Marae being about Maori, and District 9 being about the treatment of blacks in South…

For some time, schools have been debating whether they should get rid of sports to help students improve their education. Many studies have found that schools that provide after school athletics are shown to have a lower academic rate. Therefore, school sports should be cut off because they are a distraction from school work, cost a great deal of money, and cause fatigue. Many student athletes know that their extra-curricular sports may take away from their education. According to the article…

Imagine a fourth-grade student that does not have a consistent home. The food the school provides at breakfast and lunch is the only ration of food they receive for the day. Snow days are agonizing not knowing if they will have food for that day and hoping to return to school only to eat. Students are beginning to notice that they wear the same two shirts and pants to school every day, and exclusion from groups of friends is evident. Teachers send the student habitually to the nurse to get…
