As a Cell Site Technician for AT&T, my entire job revolves around creative problem solving. What I do on a daily basis is go out and look for problems in the system. After that, I figure out what caused the problem, and come up with a solution for fixing it. One such case happened just this week. I received a ticket to troubleshoot the cell site in Henry, TN which was dropping calls. Many times, when troubleshooting a cell site, more time is wasted in step one than in any other time in the…

In addition to intellectual curiosity, being well read is a quality that helped Douglass and Malcolm X become truly educated. Being well read helped both of them to learn vocabulary, spelling, and how to write. When Douglass knew how to read he came upon the word abolition. He didn’t know the meaning of the word so he read the dictionary, and a newspaper until he finally understood the meaning. He writes, “Every little while, I could hear something about abolitionists. It was some time before I…

GPA When viewing my application, please note that there is a trend in my GPA. Towards the end of my freshman year I decided to save money so that I could move to Flagstaff and attend Northern Arizona University. On top of supporting myself by working full-time, I began picking up extra shifts so I could afford to make this transition. As a result, my sophomore GPA fell, but it quickly rebounded my junior year. Lastly, I performed significantly better my senior year because I reduced my work…

My love for reading and writing began at a young age, although, it was short lived. When I was in elementary school, I always looked forward to writing stories in my journal about the various topics my teacher created. I learned to read and write by sitting at a table in my living room, tracing the letters of the alphabet on a small piece of paper, and trying my best to pronounce the foreign letters in front of me. Reading has made me into the person I am today by allowing me to have many…

no answers, which you can sit and discuss for hours, days, weeks, and still never reach a definite answer. It may be frustrating, but that’s what keeps life interesting, especially for someone like me, who is extremely curious by nature. In this essay, I will delve deeper into Aristotle’s metaphysics and how people’s causality impacts these unanswered questions. Three months ago, if you asked me who Aristotle was, I would stutter and ask you if he was that guy who wrote all the…

understand grammar and sentence structure. Writing consultants must have knowledge of writing skills, along with the ability to have an open mind. Writing isn’t like math or science in the sense that there is one clear answer to every problem. One essay could easily be turned into twenty different papers, simply by changing the organization. It is up to the writing consultants to help the author express their ideas and strengthen their voice—not suppress it with your own conventions. I would be…

Aristotle Ever wonder where your teachers got all the information to give to their students? Well, there has been many people in history that have helped write the foundation for those books but there is one in particular. Aristotle, an ancient greek philosopher wrote over two hundred works. These works contained information on Biology and Math (biography.com). All though only thirty-one of his two hundred works are around they still make a major impact on the world today. Some say people look…

I’m not really into self-help books. It’s not because I don’t value external perspective, and it’s not because I’m not all touchy-feely, but simply because; most people don’t write books that relate to me as a person. I am a unique person in many ways and while there are some that touch on this experience or that personality trait, most just miss the mark for me. Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting out of the Box (Arbinger, 2010) is not one of those books. First, let’s talk about the book…

When it comes to writing a paper punctuation is the most important part because without it the paper would just have run-on sentences everywhere it would be a complete mess. Punctuation is what keeps the paper organized looking good it makes the essay understandable if there wasn’t any punctuation the reader would just get completely lost in the story and that’s exactly what the writer doesn’t want. Punctuation has always been one of my weakest points in writing; I have struggled with it since…
