Educational pursuits 1 My Educational Pursuits Erika Toombs ENG 121 Magdalena Sokolowski June 2, 2013 Educational pursuits 2 My Educational Pursuits Dedication, hard work, discipline, and time management are key parts to the pursuit of your education. Returning to school always has been something I knew I wanted to do but to obtain the courage to do it was something different. I knew that I always struggled with school and to continue on and go to college was nowhere in my current life goals. Having that degree could open so may doors in my life. Accepting that there would be obstacles and learning how to overcome them to be successful was a challenge all in itself.
After retiring from the military, I decided to pursue my education so I could open more doors for career opportunities. Being this is my first educational experience, it is my personal responsibility to adopt good study skills, maintain time management, and not procrastinate in doing my assignments. As a student, you must understand that without adopting these attributes, you will increase the risk of not succeeding in your class. In taking personal responsibility, a person needs to make mature decisions that will benefit their outcome Informal Outline: Taking Personal Responsibility Academically I. Introduction II.
That way I will able to discover the identity that has been overshadow by the cloud of anxiety. Besides being scared about the transition to college, the fact I am left independent makes me more nervous than ever. Instead of teachers providing you with the necessary tools and resources, it is up to me to find them. It feels more like a never ending scavenger hunt than an easy walk through. Ways to overcome this would be to have an organizer/planner so I can purchase and get the needed materials for the classes I am taking this semester.
This image of me that the world holds on to, mostly stemming from my past transgressions, plays a major part in how I see myself, and I am diligently working to change this aspect of my self-perception. It is trying to be a self-fulfilling prophecy (Wood, 2012), with the world saying that I will be who I was once, but I disagree. I have not written down this goal until now, and I have not placed it anywhere, as my current circumstances prevent me from having a place to put such a statement. I may get it as a tattoo someday, so that I can see it no matter where I am. The statement I would currently use if I did have such a place, would be something like; “I am not the man I used to be, and though my past may be a part of who I am, it is not who I am, it is just my past.” I can definitely refine this goal statement by saying something like, “I will live a life that shows the world I am not my past”, or simply, “I am not my past.” The latter would really be a nice tattoo someday.
Tell them that you turned them in and will help them in their time of need. Show them where they are lacking and teach them to do better. Ultimately it’s on you and how you want to be seen. What do you think is right and how dedicated are you to your job? I know that I always want to advance my career but I don’t want to have smut on my past.
That may or may not be what I would say if I had total free will as to what I wanted to write about and how I wanted to go about doing it. However, this is clearly not the case and to write a proper paper I must conform to the guidelines which I have been given. If I wrote this paper according to what exactly I wanted to do I am sure I would not be happy with the resulting grade. That is just the way some things work. If we do what we are told, we will succeed.
It is better to have an advance directive than none at all. Primarily, a living will ensures that your wishes will be followed if something happens to you. This advance directive lets health care providers what sorts of treatments are provided by you, the patient. This strongly asserts the patient's choice into what treatments or procedures will be used in an emergency specifically a coma. Advance directives prevent unnecessary delay in administering medical treatments that require consent.
If you don’t have individualism you will always want to have what she or he has or what they do. Coming from not having individualism, this time alone has really helped me find what I really am and what I want to be. Once you find your inner self you’ll figure out what I’m
I cannot even picture where I would be in life right now. I would most likely have a degree by now along with a career, but I probably would not be satisfied. I am happy with where I am today and the career path I have chosen. This has given me the strength I needed to keep me from giving up on things. Willpower means having strong determination that allows you to do something difficult, having a strong mindset to be able to stick to goals, or having the ability to control yourself.
The only thing stopping you is yourself. I want to be an example for my brothers, so they will see how important a college education is. As you sit back and take a look at the world today everything is mostly about technology so you know what that means you have to have more knowledge then just a high school diploma. So I’m going to do what I have to do make sure that everything I strive to do in life is successful. I mean you will never know what life has to offer you until you actually try to do something with
