...Escudero Eng-101 Prof. David Schleicher Narrative Essay 5/27/2014 Moving to America Transformed My Life In the past I came across many changes but leaving my country was the toughest change in my life. I had to learn how to live away from people I love and how to start a new life in a new country. Immigration is a life changing experience; learning a new language, adapting to the culture and lifestyle changes are all strenuous things that were thrown at me once I became a part of this country. Even though moving away from my family and friends was a difficult decision, it changed my live for a better. It taught me how to deal with change, how to become an independent and responsible person, and how to feel this country my home. I never imagined living in another country. I remember as it was yesterday when my mom said, “Daniela, I know you do not want to leave Colombia but I have to take you with me, you are my youngest child and I will not let you here” I started arguing with her, saying that how she could do that to me when I already had plans to start college and that I was happy in my country but at the end I gave up and decided to come to America. It was February 10th, 2010, when I left Colombia and was forced to leave my friends, my grandmother, my school, my language and culture to move to this big new country to start a new life. As I took my last look at my home, I remembered all the fun times I had with my mom and sister and friends throughout...

...No matter how many times you are told something, and practice it day after day, sometimes you don't change your actions until you have no other choice. In other words, some lessons can only be learned the hard way. When I was 11, we moved to a new house, before we moved in, we visited the house to clean up and I can remember my sister and I exploring our soon to be home. My parents asked us to come out to the porch because they had something to tell us. I can recall sitting on the porch steps, completely clueless to how 5 words could make me feel so many emotions all at once, “I have a brain tumor”. As these words slipped out of my mom’s mouth, nothing else in the world mattered to me except her. How could my mom, the person who always said everything would be alright, have something in her brain that could take her life in a matter of weeks?...

...FROGBOX Case Lauren sighed. Although she was excited about the idea of moving to a new city after graduating from her MBA – her new job was going to be amazing – she also was dreading the move. When she had last moved as a student, she didn`t have as much “stuff” as she would need to take care of now. Just thinking about where she was going to find all the boxes that she would need made her feel tired. As a student, she also was on a very tight budget last time, and picked up boxes at the grocery and liquor stores. It was cheap but it only worked out because she didn’t have that much to move and it wasn’t that heavy. She wondered if she could afford to purchase ready-made boxes this time. Her older and more financially secure sister and brother-in law had done that last time they moved, but Lauren wasn’t sure she could swing it. New boxes could run as high as $3.00 for each 3-cubic foot box. Certainly she wasn’t going to be able to move like her new boss who just hired a moving company to bring the boxes, pack everything and drive it all to his new address. One of her friends, Julie, who also would be heading off to a new job, was excited about a company she had seen on Dragon’s Den, the Canadian reality business TV show.1 Named FROGBOX, it was created in 2008 as an environmentally friendly moving solution. Instead of having to use cardboard boxes, FROGBOX would supply high-density polyethylene plastic boxes that they would deliver to your current address and pick up from your...

...GROUP PROJECT Pasquet Ferdinand Ravera Quentin I- Presentation of the company The company was founded by Walter Chrysler (1875–1940) on June 6, 1925. The headquarters are in Auburn Hills in the Michigan. The brand was at the beginning a premium luxury position competing with the brands Cadillac. Chrysler was the top brand in the portfolio of what was then known as Chrysler Corporation. Chrysler's positioning changed several times over the years. Indeed, The Chrysler brand was originally a premium luxury position competing with Cadillac and Lincoln through the cars Imperial.Then, Chrysler's positioning of the Chrysler brand towards a mid-price brand caused Chrysler to kill the brand DeSoto after 1961.After that, in 1975, Chrysler once again became the top brand, with range of products competing with both luxury and near luxury brands like Buick. During the 1980s the Chrysler brand took on a similar role as Oldsmobile or Mercury by offering entry-level luxury cars of various types and sizes. Before the Fiat's acquisition of a 20% stake in Chrysler in 2009, Chrysler had a discontinued line of cars with economy car and sport cars. This strategy ended when the company was threatened with an imminent bankrupt in 2008. That’s why, in December 2008, U.S. President George W. Bush agreed to a $4 billion bailout for Chrysler and another one of $8.5 billion was also given by the President Barack Obama early in his administration. Chrysler LLC (new company emerged from...

...Hiring a moving company when moving across the country can often be one of the best things that you can do, mostly because the moving company will be able to take most of the work out of your hands. Listed below are three reasons to hire a moving company when moving across the country. To Avoid Having To Unload On Your Own One of the biggest reasons to hire a moving company when moving across the country is to avoid having to unload a moving truck all on your own. This is extremely important because if you are moving to a brand-new city where you don't know anybody or have any family members living there, then you could end up in a situation where you won't really have any help moving everything out of the truck and into your new home or apartment. As a result, you could very easily end up straining yourself and taking a very long time to get your new home in order. However, when you hire a moving company, they will handle the unloading and you won't have to worry about doing it all on your own or having to find someone to help you in an unfamiliar city. To Complete Your Move In The Shortest Amount Of Time...

...time, how to manage stress, and how to be flexible. I had to implemant each of these skills at the same time when I suddenly had to move into a new home. Unfortunatlely, I was evicted from my home in September, 2010. My children's father and I seperated; therefore I couldn't pay the rent. I knew the eviction was coming, but I was not ready to face the consequences. I was now a single mother, with two children and no where to live. I knew I had to do something and do it quick. With this in mind, I began looking for a home when the eviction was finalized. I had a place in mind that I had called about two months prior to my eviction, when I realized that my children's father and I would possibly be separating. I called the woman back in regards to the home I had inquired about before. It just so happens that the home was available and ready to move into. She said, "If you can come up with the first months rent and the security deposit by the end of the week, the house is yours." I borrowed money for the security deposit and the rent, but now I had to find a way to move into this new home within a one week time frame. During the second week in September, 2010 I began moving into my new home, with only one week to do so. I did not have the time to take off of work, find a babysitter or pay a moving company to assist me with moving. I can recall not being able to get enough sleep, working long days and hours, and working a six day work week. Not only did I have to somehow continue...

...HOW TO CLOSE A SALE POLICY: After conducting a tour with a new prospect, how to close the sale is the most critical aspect of moving a new resident into our communities. If you believe in your community, demonstrate the value of your services, and appeal to the emotion (heart) of the prospect, rather than the facts…you will sell your community. PROCEDURE: 1. The Administrator, Executive Director or Manager on Duty needs to be able to close a sale during the prospective tour. Each staff member who is responsible for conducting tours must know the following: • What makes the community different or better than your competitors? • Resident profile: age, care or dementia needs, • Why would seniors enjoy living in our community? • Why would families feel good about their relatives living in our community? 2. At the conclusion of the tour the Administrator or Staff member conducting the tour needs to take the lead; the prospect is counting on it. Remember the worst possible scenario is for them to leave our community and go onto tour the next community, down the road, only to find out they have moved in the other facility because they asked for the processing fee. 3. During the closing possess it is important to ask the following questions: “Can you see yourself/mother/father living here with use? Which apartment did you like best today on our tour? Do you have any questions that have not been answered? What do you like...

...QUALITATIVE TECHNIQUES Qualitative forecasting techniques are generally more subjective than their quantitative counterparts. Qualitative techniques are more useful in the earlier stages of the product life cycle, when less past data exists for use in quantitative methods. Qualitative methods include the Delphi technique, Nominal Group Technique (NGT), sales force opinions, executive opinions, and market research. THE DELPHI TECHNIQUE. The Delphi technique uses a panel of experts to produce a forecast. Each expert is asked to provide a forecast specific to the need at hand. After the initial forecasts are made, each expert reads what every other expert wrote and is, of course, influenced by their views. A subsequent forecast is then made by each expert. Each expert then reads again what every other expert wrote and is again influenced by the perceptions of the others. This process repeats itself until each expert nears agreement on the needed scenario or numbers. NOMINAL GROUP TECHNIQUE. Nominal Group Technique is similar to the Delphi technique in that it utilizes a group of participants, usually experts. After the participants respond to forecast-related questions, they rank their responses in order of perceived relative importance. Then the rankings are collected and aggregated. Eventually, the group should reach a consensus regarding the priorities of the ranked issues. SALES FORCE OPINIONS. The sales staff is often a good source of information regarding future demand...

...If Y = $11,000, Z = $1,200 and P =$20,000 what value would you predict for S? S = k(YZ)/P =100(11,000*1200)/20,000 = 66,000 B. What happens if P is reduced to $17,500? S = 100(11,000 /1,200)/17,500=$75,429 C. How would you go about developing a value for K? You would need the time series data on S, Y, Z and P. You would use the regression techniques to get an estimate K. The double log entry system would be used to get the intercept. D. What are the potential weaknesses of this model?
