...29, 2015 ART 1300-C Mrs. Issacson “The School Of Athens” As one of the renowned great master of the High Renaissance era, Raphael Sanzio da Urbino is best known for his work pertaining to the “School of Athens”. The Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance period, is highly respected for his work. His work was primarily admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplantonic ideal of human grandeur. Raphael was the youngest of the great artists, living from 1483-1520, as stated by “Rahpael’s School of Athens: A Theorem In A Painting?.” (Haas, 2012, pp. 4). Along side Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci; they compose the traditional trinity of great masters of the High Renaissance period. During this period, Living with Art said, “Pope Julius II asked Raphael Sanzio da Urbino to decorate the walls of several rooms in the Vatican palace” (Getlein, 2013, pp. 160). The School of Athens is “considered to be the summation of Renaissance Art by many” according to Living with Art (Getlein, 2013, pp. 160). Raphael composed this painting through the method of fresco for the end wall of the Stanze della Segnatura. This room was a room that may have been the Pope’s library. The School of Athens was started in 1510 and completed in 1511. The twenty-six foot by eighteen foot painting still resides in the Vatican of Rome, with in the Stanza della Segnatura (Getlein, 2013, pp.160). The School of Athens depicts several Greek philosophers...

...challenges and circumstances of life. The challenges I face in my life are work, school and my personal life. Without personal responsibility I would not be able to balance between them. While not everyone believe you need to have personal responsibility to succeed, I believe that having personal responsibility is the key to success in college and in life because it is our capability to handle all of life’s challenges and accepting responsibility for our actions. Life brings each one of us so many challenges and it is hard to balance all of them together without getting stressed. Personal responsibility is needed in order to balance all of these challenges. I never thought I would be capable of working fulltime and going to school but I took action by putting my personal responsibility to use. It was hard for me to accept responsibility at first because I have never been a responsible person but I realized without it college success would be impossible. Failure to accept responsibility for the things in my life that made me unhappy would have led to me making excuses with no progress toward the goals in my life. I decided that I was in charge of my life and I was going to accept the added challenge of going to college into my life. In order to succeed in college I will need to accomplish goals and gain time management skills. My first goal accomplishment is to make a plan that helps me balance both school and work. The plan involves setting priorities, taking care of myself and not...

...February 2014 Then Challenges of being a Non-Traditional Student When graduating high school it is expected that collage is the next step. The longer you wait to start collage the harder the transition. The level of input you have to put into collage is greatly different than that of high school. The studying time has to doubles. The time spent in and out of the classroom has to somehow balance out with the amount of time spent in the work force. Children can be a factor at this point in life, so finding time for them as well is another challenge faced by older students. Never the less balancing the three issues is a hard task that any students older than the age of 20 have to face on a daily basis. Studying is essential for success in the college. The longer a student has been out of school the harder they have to study to keep up with the lesson and their classmates. When in high school you complete your homework and go on with your day. If you have a large assignment you may have to do some work throughout the weekend. When in collage for every hour spent in the classroom has to be spent outside of the classroom studying. This is a new concept for students to grasp. The longer a student is out of school the harder it is for that student to grasp that concept. College students no matter what the age or how long they have been out of high school; is expected to do most of the work needed for that course outside of the classroom, and be prepared for the next objective...

...Even though a casual student can be successful, personal responsibility will increase the odds of achieving success by eliminating distractions and creating a good balance between home and school. Accountability and personal responsibility are like a shield that will protect a student throughout college by eliminating irrelevant distractions. Success is driven by taking upon one’s self the accountability for time management and maintenance of priorities. Personal responsibility will increase the odds of being successful in all aspects of life above and beyond that of just students. By holding oneself personally responsible, more time is found to do enjoyable hobbies and pastimes while completing the tasks of work, school, and family, while taking pleasure a higher quality of work and pleasure. Time is the key component of being personally responsible. By avoiding procrastination, instant results will be evident through increased quality of work and reduced stress. Creating a simple to do list and setting completion goals is a great place to start. By setting timelines with goals and target, it is important to include breaks and rewards. Larger goals should be created with target set along the way. This will help to achieve these larger goals. Scheduling time and being specific about priorities will give you a clear path to follow. Every project should have a start and a finish date with pivotal milestones throughout. Without targets (milestones) there is the possibility...

...Responsibility – Key to Success There are a number of doors that lead to success, and personal responsibility is a key to most of those doors. Personal responsibility is an ability to handle issues, tasks and problems on one’s own. Personal responsibility is very important. Responsible people know how to balance their school, work, and personal lives, keeping their lives in harmony. Responsible people know how to prioritize and schedule their time accordingly, so that they rule the day and not allowing the day to rule them. Responsible person may fall into perfectionism, but there are strategies and techniques to avoid such pitfall. Personal responsibility is the key to success. Responsible people know how to prioritize and schedule their time accordingly. Things that are urgent and important need to be done first, while things that are not urgent and not important can be saved for later. People who are responsible take charge of their day, instead of allowing the day to control them. Ellis (2011) stated, “When you set goals and manage time, your life does not just happen by chance. You are on equal terms with the greatest sculptor, painter, or playwright. More than creating a work of art, you are designing a life” (p. 74). Indrawan agrees, “freedom is found in personal responsibility” (Indrawan, 2011, para. 2). According to Indrawan (2011), when her clients decide to take personal responsibility for who they are, what they do, and what they think, as opposed to coming up with...

The balance I have with the family I do have is no more than going to work, visiting my parents or hanging out with my sister on occasion. I work more than anything dealing with my family life and other than those things I stay to myself. Overall, it is a fairly balanced between my career and family life. The current mindset of corporate America at the moment is conducive to the type of work and family arrangement I have. Due to the fact I have no family life, as in wife and children, I am much more flexible in how I balance my career and family life. The major reason why the current mindset of corporate America is conducive to a balanced career and family life for is me is simple in that I am single and if I have to work my parents and sister understand and doesn’t impact the relationship between us. Maternity Leave in the United States When approaching the subject of paid maternity leave, the United States tends to fall behind many countries around the globe. Many companies in the United States do allow a short maternity leave, which is often unpaid or requires mothers to expend what...

...Who am I? In some way this question surfaces throughout the life--birth, school milestones, marriage, work opportunities, mid-life crisis, career changes, and yes, embarking upon collegate education. The answer comes quickly and easily when engaged in everyday conversation, for I describe the roles I fill, such as wife, mother, daughter, sister, church board member, educational administrator, committee chair, friend, boss, volunteer, and student. But honestly answering the question, "Who am I?" requires that I examine the personality and qualities of character that accompany me as I fulfill each of the roles in my life. Who is Keith Stabi, the person? Let me introduce you. I am • A perfectionist who is thorough and attentive to detail. • An introvert who enjoys close relationships with others, either one on one relationships or small groups, but who also needs time alone to regroup. • An unassuming person who is easy to have around over the long haul. • A predictable, dependable, level-headed individual. There are usually no surprises from me, and though I am not rigidly organized, I usually plan my "spontaneity." • A kind, considerate, and courteous friend to all. • A supportive and loyal friend. • An understanding, warm, approachable individual. • An open-minded seeker of truth. I encourage myself to not insist on being "right," at the expense of interpersonal relationships. • A positive person with an internal locus of control. I like the motto, "We are creatures...

...overcome, and university is no exception. Urquhart and Pooley (2007: 78) believe that students making the transition from high school to university experience “social, academic and personal challenges.” The purpose of this essay is to argue why the freedom, demands and social climate of universities are difficult to prepare for. In high school students have little or no academic and social freedom. In addition students only balance their school work with extracurricular activities and they learn passively. Lastly the high school society does not allow the consumption of alcohol and students are in regular contact with the same people. Snyders, Vawda, Taljaard, Brophy and Plaatjes (2006: 186) state that “at a tertiary institution, you have the freedom to choose how you will live and balance.” Freedom is defined as” having the power or right to act, speak or think as one wants” (Soanes and Hawker,2006: 400). Freedom is not simulated in high school because students are constantly under the authority of their parents or guardians. For the first time in a student’s life they are able to live alone and make their own rules (Rugg, Gerrard, and Hooper, 2008: 74). As a result of going from a life where students are constantly being watched, to one where they have the freedom to do whatever they like (Snyders et al, 2005: 186) students spend the majority of the school night socialising at parties (Burns, 2006: vi; Balduf, 2009: 286). At college you have periods when you do not need to go...

...Work-life balance: definitions and key terms Work-life balance is the term used in the literature to refer to policies that strive to achieve a greater complementarity and balance between work and home responsibilities. These policies apply to all workers, not just working parents, and their presence or absence in an organisation may have an effect on those facing a crisis pregnancy, particularly in judging their own ability to combine both work and family life. Some of the terms used in the literature on work-life balance are not commonly used or may be unfamiliar, thus explanations and definitions are given below: WLB: Work-life Balance, also referred to as family friendly work arrangements (FFWA), and, in international literature, as alternative work arrangements (AWA). V-Time: this is voluntary overtime to meet production needs; extra hours are 'banked' and taken as time off or as extra pay. It differs from flexitime where starting and finishing times are staggered, and can mean reduced or increased weekly working hours over a period of time. Work-life balance, workplace culture and maternity/childcare issues - A literature review Zero hours contract: this is a flexible contract that does not specify the amount of time a worker will spend per year on their employment, leaving it open to meet demand. E-working: the term used to describe flexible working that can be done from any location using technologies such as laptops, wireless internet connection...

...opportunities at the VA Medical Center for nurses who have acquired a bachelor’s degree in nursing, it is for this reason I have registered in the University of Phoenix BSN program. Taking this journey to continue with my education and finish my bachelor’s degree will open many doors for my future, therefore making my professional and personal goals attainable. Professional Goals Going back to school after 15 years is quite a challenge, setting short-term goals is a necessary step to achieving my long-term professional goal. My short-term goal is to go back to school to receive my BSN. To complete the requirements to obtain this degree, I need to find a balance between work and school and learn to manage my time effectively. It is crucial for my success to figure out the best way to balance school obligations while continuing to work full-time and take care of my family responsibilities. One would think that nurses working full-time with family obligations would have a higher level of stress and this in turn would lead to burnout. Research shows if a nurse going back to school has support from their employer and family, the incidences of burnout decrease (Dick & Anderson, 1993). To reach my ultimate goal there are other short-term goals that need to be achieved, such as improving my computer...

...is not a surprise to find working students in a classroom, especially in colleges and universities. They get employment from a variety of industries, mainly from food service, to sales and entertainment, aside from the usual jobs such as student assistants. Due to financial obstacles, a lot of college students try to juggle school and work, causing a variety of problems for them. Ranging from difficulties in time management, decline in school performance, health problems, and to personal and social problems, part-time working students face a lot of challenges and difficulties trying to balance both. A 2010 survey from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) results that can be seen in ched.gov.ph, only half of the working student populations are able to graduate from college and attain their pursued degree. This alarming result shows that majority of working students are having a difficult time to balance their jobs and studies. The purpose of this study is to find out what are the factors, coming from the working environment, that affect these student-employees, in their class performance. Despite their efforts, the pressure to balance work and school is just too much for many working students. Most students just give up on their studies because of the pressures. Now this study is aiming to get a more understanding of the issue. Page 2 Only half of working students finish college: CHED ABS-CBN News ...

...successful at school and be able to perform the best way in both scenarios. Personal Responsibility is the key of being triumphant in my opinion. To be able to take charge of the duties and responsibilities and be able to effectively manage your time is what makes it successful. Also being able to stay disciplined and to work hard is the key to effectively reach your goals. By being able to achieve this you will be able apply to any aspect of your life being personal or school related. As noted by Campbell Clark (2000), Work/family border theory: A new theory of work/family says “Central to this theory is the idea that ‘work’ and ‘family’ constitute different domains or sphere which influence each other.” (p. 750-751). After reflecting over this sentence the essence of mastering our lives in general is balance. To be able to keep this balance there are different strategies that can be incorporated, for starters we need to have goals: Short term and long term goals. Also have options so these goals can be reached. We need to manage our skills effectively, this means keep a to-do list, follow a schedule and be able to keep track of what is done. Also we need to be organized and prepared, use our university online resources such as: University Library, our Writing tools etc. Also have commitment and a mindset that this is for our future as professionals so the sacrifices made now will pay off in the future.
