...Actually, at this moment, I cannot seen myself 5 years from now, because I’m not expecting the better or best life in future. Cause for me, before you reach your dreams you have to work hard to fulfil your dreams, but hopefully I can get my dreams in a fastest way and in good way without stepping someone. After a few years I can see myself in the ship, navigating the ship at the oceans and travel all around the world. I know at this stage of my college life is the one of the hardest thing, because you are far from your family, and you have to work for your own life, I didn’t expect that this moment I can manage myself good, because at my high school life is different at this moment cause in high school you can be free at all times and there is a parent who can guide you and accept you even you gave them many problems. On high school there is parents wash your clothes, preparing your meal and etc. this moment that I am studying here at MPFC, this is my stepping stone to achieve my goal and dreams. After 5 years from now I can see myself at a ship or a luxury ship or a big ship meeting different types of person. I can see myself successful, helping my family and others. I can see myself a great man serving other people, I can see myself enjoying my life, I can see myself a inspiration to others that they can tell he or I a successful man. Life is too short so enjoy it. As you waste your breathe complaining about life, someone out there is breathing their last. Appreciate what you...

...Coming from a small family on the big Island I was lucky enough to be given many opportunities to influence my future. I was given the opportunity of being able to understand the feeling of the aloha spirit, being humble and treating others with kindness as I grew up. Growing up I always wanted to be successful and make a positive impact due to the amazing things I have experienced. I do plan to put those morals when I go into college and major in Human Resources Management, with those stepping stones I will be able to fulfill my career goals. Though there are many challenges to face I know the university of Hawaii at Manoa will help me greatly as I work toward those goals. Attending college is a dream of mine but there are drivers to attend college and those drivers are to have a greater job path and make those who are important in my life proud. To have a place where I can take my education to further heights, experience a career path that is much more expanded, and eventually earn a salary that one could ever dream of is one of the reasons why I want to go to college. My other reason is that I have been with many people that have motivated me to go to college and bring change to my future and help further enhance what is given to me. Some of these people in my life are my teachers, I have these three teachers that...

...mind, like Why should parents pass they dreams to their children? How is it like to become a single parent? How to handle a teenager who demands for her independence? How can a mom handle to responsibilities at the same time? And how to raise a child ensuring that her love is passed down to her daughter? This experiences and family situations are considered problems by most of us, but for me it is the stepping stone on every beautiful bond that can be shared by every family member. “The part dealing with the effects of family size and birth order” – Review of Child development research, On the movie Ann’s family is an extended one, but her true father wasn’t with them who ran after a one night stand with her mom. Now how does family size affect Ann? At first she was with the once that she loved most, but after going to Beverly Hills, she was just with her mom which I think Is a big change for Ann and also a great challenge, the birth order was also considered but on Ann’s situation she was the only child of her mom Adele, that’s why I think . Her mom wants her to become an actress, like giving the best shot on the last bullet; she wants Ann to have a good life because Ann is her one and only pride and joy. But it’s not only Ann who is pressured by this dream but also her mom Adele, “Every Family has some explicit division of labor and responsibilities between husband and wife” also from the same book which was mentioned earlier. A big pressure is also on the shoulders of Adele...

...Since completing my bachelor’s degree in 2011, the thought of pursuing my MBA has been but a dream. I am excited to now be in a position where that dream can finally become a reality. Getting to this point in my life has not necessarily been the easiest or most straight forward thing. Upon leaving the Antigua State College, my love for music led me to enter the world of teaching. At times, I would find myself with students my own age. While this proved to be challenging at first, it helped me to further develop my abilities as a leader, which continue to be beneficial to me in both my personal and professional life. Following my short stint as a violin instructor, I entered the banking and finance sector where I worked as a customer service representative for two years. In this position, I saw my interpersonal and communication skills grow at an exponential rate. The time spent working at the bank also solidified the practical application of concepts I would have come across at the post-secondary level. It was at this time that I decided to go back to school and pursue my bachelor’s degree. I decided to undertake a double major in both Accounting and Economics given my keen interest in both subject areas. Upon successful completion of the program, I returned to my home country and joined one of the Big 4 Accounting firms. As a CPA and senior accountant, I have developed a solid foundation in teamwork, analytical, and problem-solving skills. My designation has facilitated specialized...

Until one morning she woke up with a very strange physical changes that made the story unusual and extraordinary. The story shows an economic issue that gives me the idea of what it feels like to be a “small fish in a big pond”. When the young couple moved to Tokyo, they struggled in coping up with how people live there. Because they don't have enough money to accommodate their own apartment, Akira and Hiroko searched for a part-time job. But sadly, it was Akira who was hired at the wrapping store. This pushed Akira to do his best and earn money for them to put up their own apartment and for their future. He used his job as a stepping stone in reaching his dream of becoming successful filmmaker and also proved that he can also be one of those successful filmmakers in Tokyo. Social issue was also tackled in the film. There was a part when Hiroko heard Akemi and her boyfriend talking about her. Akemi said that Hiroko is becoming a burden to Akira and that she has no ambition in her life. She realized that she is a listless girlfriend who doesn't know her purpose and ambition in life. A lady also told her, in one of the film showing of Akira, that having a boyfriend like him...

...More Taxes for the Rich The United States of America is the land of freedom, equality, and opportunity for each and every American, with the ability to live the “American Dream.” The American Dream suggests that anyone in the United States is able to follow their hopes and aspirations, succeed through hard work, and has the potential to lead a happy and successful life. Through hard work and dedication, reaching success and wealth is never too far, everyone receives as much as they put in. America is one of the world’s leading nations, with a high quality of government, development, military, and more. Many factors of our nation that put us at the top of the chain come from support of Americans themselves, the individuals living in the United States, through taxes. It is required that anyone who receives an income must pay taxes. Taxes are certain fees or charges that the government requires people to pay in order to live and work in their state or country. The government needs money to operate, and taxes are a way for them to get this money. This money is used to fund various types of programs such as education, military, social security, and more. Each and every American generating an income is subject to pay for these taxes. Although, not every American makes the same amount of money. It isn’t fair for those individuals who don’t receive as much income to pay for the same fixed tax amount as the wealthier citizens in the state. The rich should pay more taxes because they...

...Going back to studying is a big step in my life having left formal education for over fifteen years now. It is not going to be an easy task with the demands and challenges of higher education but I am prepared and ready to face it. And in order to have a smooth transition to higher education, I need to work on the academic areas which I have always struggled with. All the while I have been working in the health and social care industry as a support worker supporting people with learning disability, mental health issues and autism to lead a more fulfilling and independent life. I help to promote choice, privacy and dignity, and believe that everyone should benefit from equal opportunity and not be limited or treated any less because of their disability. I have successfully undertaken and passed my National Vocational Qualification level 3 in Health and Social care. This course has enabled me to advance in my knowledge and improve my skills and has also enabled me to evaluate my daily working practices and to continuously reflect on my work. I had the responsibility of supervising other staff and preparing the monthly rota. I have attended mandatory trainings such as (Health and safety, fire awareness, food and hygiene, safeguarding vulnerable adults, person centred active support, medication administration, and to mention a few) to ensure that that I fulfil my role as a senior support worker and provide the best possible care. My responsibilities has led me to other training...

...All through my undergraduate study, I had dreamt of working in an oil company where global exposure, offshore training, extensive network, exposure and fantastic pay would be mine. Unfortunately, a lull in the industry at the time of my graduation made it difficult to get a placement at any of such organisations and hence, I failed to actualize my dream! Despite this disappointment, I took up a position at an accounting firm and made the required career change from Petroleum Engineering to Accounting and Professional Services. Since joining a Big 4 in Nigeria, I have become a chartered accountant and have obtained certifications in Risk Management. Having done so well in that time, I have come to realise that my ultimate goal is now to become a Partner in the Firm, thereby becoming a part owner of one of the most successful businesses in Nigeria. The professional services industry in Nigeria is one of the most competitive and exciting industries, with constant changing dynamics. The big 4 firm, being an organization operating in that industry, is easily affected by local and international regulations and requires appropriate leadership, particularly new entrants who will bring in value, innovation and up to date techniques that will aid in transforming and ensuring that the entity remain relevant in the ever changing environment. My passion therefore is not only to join the elite membership of Partners, but to ensure that in the role, I stand out as the new entrant who is very...

...Personal Goals Kerrie Troy RN HCS/301 March 19, 2012 Dee Martinez Personal Goals Goals are small stepping stones, each time we take a step we get closer to achieving a long-term goal. They vary from person to person and may change from time to time. Circumstances, money, knowledge, and resources influence people in what type of goals they can achieve, whether it is personal or professional. My personal goals differ from my professional goals in many ways. I have many personal goals at home that I am trying to maintain. One is to maintain my sanity while going through school and trying to balance everyone and everything in my life. Taking one day at a time will be helpful in achieving balance in my life. Getting some exercise, staying healthy, and my family supporting me will be encouraging. One of my long-term personal goals is to bring up my children as functional happy adults. Teaching them right and wrong in a world so dishonest can be challenging. My husband and I work very hard at trying to accomplish this goal. Personal short-term goal I have is to maintain my organization skills while in school, work, and family. My family is very important to me and I do not want to miss out on important events in their lives. I need to prioritize my goal so I can achieve my needs in school. Setting short-term goals, working ahead, setting a schedule, prioritizing are all things that will help me accomplish...

...Almost every single day we face adversity, whether from an academic standpoint or from a home life standpoint, and these have effects on us. We often forget how challenges and daily difficulties are what push us and motivate us to strive for better. As Horace states, everyone should use their adversity as a stepping stone to strengthen them as a whole and better their character; without adversity, we would never be exposed to the talents we have hidden within. When we face adversity, such as in an academic setting, we are pushed and given opportunities to elicit our true intellectual and physical talents. For example, when we are placed into the four core classes: science, math, history, and English, we are asked to study and memorize information while working towards the end goal of good grades. In the big picture, when we take tests and take these courses, we learn what subjects we excel in and which we struggle with, which often helps guide students to carefully select their perfect career path. Without both...

...at all.” He wants to speed economic growth by putting more money into the pockets of the low-income families. He wants to help them get out of poverty by raising the federal minimum wage and pegging it to inflation. The President believes that this solution will help big businesses in the long run by decreasing employee training cost and cutting back on high turnovers. In contrary, Obama will hurt the people he is trying to help. “This proposal will only harm the people the President wants to help, especially teens, who have already endured more than four years of 20+percent unemployment,” Saltman said. “If the President wants to boost the economy and have an impact on the country’s unemployment rate, he needs to lower barriers to hiring, not raise them.” The minimum wage class is mostly made up of teenagers and young adults. These people are usually people with low skills and have little or no experience. Some of them are first time job seekers just starting out in the work force. Most of us at some point in our lives have started out working a minimum wage job. Why? We need the minimum wage jobs to help us gain the experience we need to climb the success ladder for a higher paying job. They are stepping stone jobs. Minimum wage jobs were not intended to support a family. They were created to help get our foot in the door. No one wants to stay at a minimum wage job forever. In fact, it gives us motivation to want to get a higher paying job later on in life. What class...

...QUALITIES AND SKILLS OF ONE OF MALAYSIA’S MOST SUCCESFUL ENTRPRENEUR 1. Think success. To attain the kind of success that we want, we need to dream big. Every success story starts with big dreams. We need to have big dreams for ourself - which we want to be somebody rich, famous or fulfilled. We need to have a clear vision of what we want to achieve. But it doesn't stop in dreaming alone. We should actively visualize success in our mind that we can almost feel it, touch it or it is within our reach. Play this image back at every opportunity. What does it feel to triple our current income? How will our life change? What will our business look like if we achieved the million-dollar mark? Successful entrepreneurs possess an attitude of openness and faith that we can have what we want if we can simply envision it as the first step on the path of action to acquiring it. Management gurus have taught us the power of visualization - seeing ourself in our mind as having accomplished our dreams. If we want to be a successful writer, envision ourself signing books for a throng of people who have lined up to have our autograph. If we want to be rich, picture ourself in luxurious surroundings holding a fat bank account. And the process of envisioning success for we should be a constant activity! We need to think that we are successful (or will be one) every single waking hour. A personal development coach shared me her secret to help her continuously visualize her goals for the moment:...

...Upon searching for a non-profit organization to write my research paper on, I was over whelmed because there are numerous amounts of organizations throughout the country that assist people and communities with different services. My first priority was to stay far from excessively popular large organizations and bring to light a less popular one. I looked up the meaning and functions of ‘non-profit organization’ which is defined as “an incorporated organization which exists for educational or charitable reasons, and from which its shareholders or trustees do not benefit financially.” After carefully considering many exemplary organizations, and knowing of what exactly a non-profit organization is, and how the said organization should operate I selected the Expand Your Horizons non-profit organization. The Organization began in 1974, as a Math and Science Network with an informal group made up of women scientists, and educators, in the San Francisco Bay Area. The concerned with the low female participation in math and science courses initiated them to plan and coordinate programs to strengthen girls in these topics. A two year grant from the Carnegie Corporation in 1978 was awarded to the small Network to help establish it as a formal organization and soon the organization operated at the Mills College campus in Oakland, California. The mission of this organization is to “encourage young teenage girls in middle and high school to pursue science, technology, engineering and...
