I am a 15 year old boy who basically follows the pattern eat-sleep-ball-study–repeat. I know that sounded crazy, well I guess that speaks a little bit about my personality. I am the first born out of two children. Many first borns possess traits such as organization, intelligence, ambition, imagination, confidence, and most importantly responsibility. However I don’t possess most of these traits. Maybe that gives a little foreshadowing to my self-esteem, which I’ll admit isn’t quite at the top of the pack. However with the knowledge I’ve gained throughout the course I hope to change these qualities, along with other qualities that are preventing from going deep within me, and discovering more things about me. Through changing these qualities it will in turn benefit me in the future. I like to refer to myself as a student athlete, and in turn believe that education must come first in life as it is the keys to open...

...Task 1 I finished my A-levels, determined that what I wanted to study was shoe design. Having taken mostly artistic subjects during the 2 years of my a levels I had an objective to go to university and study this course, because I liked art and being creative, although I was not sure what I could do with my degree after I completed it. Taking a year out to work at Travelex helped me to gain insight into business management and marketing and find out more about myself; learning about things that interested me and were not just school related. After consideration, I decided that a marketing degree was necessary to further my career prospects and build my career on, opposed to my original plan of going for an artistic course. In three years’ time this degree will help me to find a job within marketing by giving me the knowledge that I need to progress further in a field that is very competitive, allow me to project ideas and thoughts in an effective way, and also challenge me not only academically but also creatively. This will then help me to progress further in this field by enabling me to apply everything I learnt and gained whilst studying this course. Task 3 | | Outside | Inside | Positives | Emotional | Emotional factors outside of university: being able to listen, your self-esteem and confidence within your working environment and when out, being sympathetic and showing empathy towards your friends and colleagues and also customers.

...Cover Letters and other career correspondence Your letter is your introduction —it continues or starts a conversation about work or education Just as you start a conversation by introducing yourself, a résumé should always be sent with an accompanying letter. Picture yourself sitting face-to-face with a person doing work that is interesting. What would you say? What do you want to ensure they know about you before you leave the room? Your letter is a chance to make a great first impression or continue a conversation that has already been started. Your letter is something employers expect —it shows your professionalism and helps them get to know you Every time you submit a résumé, you should attach an accompanying letter. Even if they don’t specifically request it, employers expect documentation from you that shows your professionalism and potential contributions. What better way to start than by using a cover letter? Your letter should clearly show the match —it illustrates the connections between you and the work Some employers scan your résumé first, while others start with the cover letter. To increase your chances of being invited to an interview, ensure that both documents clearly show the match between what the employer needs and what you can contribute. Once you have made the match, remember that the letter is your chance to stand out as an individual from the many other qualified applicants.

...Intro Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, alias APJ Abdul Kalam, was born in Dhanushkodi, Rameswaran, India on October 15, 1931. The son of a little-educated boat-owner in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, he had an unparalleled career as a defence scientist, culminating in the highest civilian award of India, the Bharat Ratna. As chief of the country's defence research and development programme, Kalam demonstrated the great potential for dynamism and innovation that existed in seemingly moribund research establishments. A lifelong scientist, engineer and world leader, Kalam's prominent role in India's 1998 nuclear weapons tests established him as a national hero. Kalam is popularly known as the Missile Man of India for his work on the development of ballistic missile and launch vehicle technology. In 2002, India's ruling National Democratic Alliance helped him win election against the country's former president, Kocheril Raman Narayanan; Kalam became India's 11th president on 25th July 2002 and completed his term in 2007. APJ Abdul Kalam is a man of vision, who is always full of ideas aimed at the development of the country. He firmly believes that India needs to play a more assertive role in international relations. He was the first scientist and bachelor to occupy the seat of the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Dr. Kalam is one of the most distinguished scientists of India with the unique honour of receiving honorary doctorates from 30 universities and institutions. He has been awarded the coveted...

...the clock radio that wakes you up, and the car, bus, or bike you take to school. You use calculators, computers, stereos, and phones throughout the day. Finally, you come home and use the microwave, stove, refrigerator, and electric can opener as you help with dinner. Our lives are a lot easier today, thanks to the mechanical engineers who imagined and built these tools. In a world where we depend on machines more than ever before, mechanical engineers keep things running. Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest professions. The women and men in the mechanical engineering profession work in almost every industry, in private practice, in government, in medicine, in law, and in universities. Mechanical engineers touch almost every aspect of technology. They create machines, products and technological systems that benefit society. Their work can take them around the world - anywhere there are machines, there are mechanical engineers. The above statements prove that mechanical engineering is not an easy profession. This is the reason why we should consider the spiritual and educational needs. Spirituality means different things to different people. Some persons have religious needs. Spirituality can refer to an ultimate or an alleged immaterial reality an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of his/her being; or the “deepest values and meanings by which people live.” Educational needs, on the other hand are those that has something to do with their attitudes...

...model that is chosen to incorporate the change, depends on the change to be made and the size of the organization that is involved in the change. While wanting to make big changes in the Boeing Corporation, Team A has decided to utilize Kotter’s Eight Step Change Management Model. Kotter’s model is one of the best known change management models and has been around since the mid 1990’s. It was first published in the Harvard Business Review and has since been included in two books, “Leading Change” and “The Heart of Change” (Palmer, Dunford & Akin, 2005). There are eight steps and each step has its own set of actions to follow. Step One: Establish the need for urgency The purpose of the change The elimination of outsourcing the engineering duties to different countries around the world will increase the internal communication within the department. The lag from time differences in the various locations caused inefficiencies in design initiatives, product changes and issues needing immediate input from the central corporate office. The elimination of the communication lag will help to increase the problem-solving ability (BDC, 2015), create closer ties within the department, and contribute to improving the initiation of product changes. Consolidating personnel in one country will increase the capabilities of Boing with real-time...

SpaceX Business Model 7. SpaceX Business Level Strategy 8. Conclusions I. Background SpaceX or Space Exploration Technologies Corporation is a space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by former PayPal entrepreneur and Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk. SpaceX was founded with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. It has developed the Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 launch vehicles, both of which were designed from conception to eventually become reusable. SpaceX also developed the Dragon spacecraft, which are flown into orbit by the Falcon 9 launch vehicle, initially transporting cargo and later planned to carry humans to the International Space Station and other destinations.[1] By 2012, SpaceX had over 40 launches on its manifest representing about $4 billion in contract revenue—with many of those contracts already making progress payments to SpaceX—with both commercial and government (NASA/DOD) customers. As of December 2013, SpaceX has a total of 50 future launches under contract, two-thirds of them are for commercial customers. SpaceX's low launch prices, especially for communication satellites flying to geostationary orbit, have resulted in market pressure on...
