...By far, my favorite application essay to write was Fuqua’s “25 Random Things About Me.” However, I was surprised to talk to other applicants and hear how difficult many found the essay to write. My advice for those of you struggling with this non-traditional essay is to just have fun! This is a great and unique opportunity to show your interests, personality, and what sets you apart as a person. I’m pretty confident that after reading my first blog (The Top 10 Reasons Why I Chose Fuqua), you thought to yourself, “Wow, this Trevor McKinnon sounds like an awesome guy. I wish I could get to know him better.” Well, it’s your lucky day! Below are some random things about me, and although this is not the same list I submitted as part of my application, it should give you the gist: 1. I was born in the US, raised in the UK, and have citizenship in both countries. 2. I played alto saxophone in a jazz nightclub in Prague. 3. My daughter’s name is Surrey. No, not because of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ daughter (Suri) and not because of the iPhone app (Siri), but because Surrey is where I grew up in England. And yes, people ask me those 2 questions all the time. 4. Surrey is spoiled: she had been to Disneyland more than 10 times before the age of 18 months, even though she’s never lived in California. My wife is from Orange County, so we would visit her family frequently while living in Utah, which always included multiple trips to Disneyland to get the most out of our season...

...All about Me My life story began at a military hospital, in a garrison city of Pakistan. I was the first child of my parents and had the most wonderful time, from my birth to childhood, anyone could ever have had. According to my aunty I was the most pretty and cute baby she’d ever seen. I had very fair skin, pink, rosy cheeks, red lips and black curly hair. However, I was also the clingiest baby as I kept on crying throughout the nights. I was the first child in my village who had their birthdays celebrated. My first birthday was quite festive: there were many decorations, masses of food and loads of gifts. I was dressed in a beautiful white frock with silver butterfly clips in my curly hair that reached my shoulders and glittery shoes. However, the person who wasn’t happy on my birthday was my grandmother, who thought that this whole idea of celebration was a waste of money. Although she didn’t like it, both mine and my siblings’ birthdays were celebrated wonderfully for some years. We were very well looked after by my mother until she died. She passed away when I was only ten years old. I wasn’t old enough to take care of my younger sisters and brother, especially my youngest sister who was only one at the time so my father decided to get married again. Being the eldest, my memories with my step mother are not very pleasant. She has infected my life. I can’t even think straight sometimes, for example, if I get ill, I get really depressed, and tell my husband that not to...

...Learned about Me PSY/285 October 10, 2012 Darren Iwamoto What I have Learned about Me There are several things I have learned about myself during this course. Most I already knew about myself just did not know that there was specified names for my attributes. I have also learned how I can deal with my unique attributes to help me personally and professionally. A person is made up of many attributes, and no two people have exactly the same combinations of attributes. One of mine is always extending help to others even if it conflicts with my schedule. I usually do this at work. I thought previously before taking this class that it was out of the goodness of my heart, but know realize that under the social exchange theory I was getting rewarded in several ways. I learned managerial tasks, I got noticed as a hard worker, and I am not one to complain about working 11 days without a day off. This landed me the manager position without trying. I have also always thought of myself as an odd ball. I have now learned that I have individualistic thoughts and feelings, and I am not afraid to show them. People would in general would be happier with themselves if they were required to take a class like this to learn about themselves. (University of Phoenix, nod) There are many ways to utilize attributes of oneself to his or her advantage. The key here is to know when to express these attributes of to watch them. One attribute I have learned that could help me in my personal...

...communities to clean and prepare their schools for the incoming school year. Education Secretary Armin Luistro says the major thrust of the 2012 Brigada Eskwela is the improvement of toilets and wash facilities to give emphasis on the importance of school sanitation and hygiene. Brigada Eskwela mobilizes parents, teachers, students, civic and business groups, local government units and other community residents in repairing and sprucing up schools two weeks before the opening of classes in June. It started in 2003 and has to date generated an equivalent amount of over P2 billion from donations in kind and man-hours spent in school repairs that would have otherwise been taken from the maintenance and other operating expenses of public schools. All of the 45,000 public elementary and secondary nationwide are mandated to take part in the Brigada Eskwela week. Many local governments and government programs could learn from the example that has been set by the Brigada Eskwela initiative that has successfully harnessed the uniquely Filipino bayanihan spirit to improve the situation of our public schools despite the lack of funds and resources. It may be nearly impossible to replicate the scale and success of the DepEd has achieved in taking advantage of the spirit of volunteerism, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt for creative and forward thinking local executives and government officials to see if they can apply the Brigada Eskwela model to harness the untapped resources that are apparently...

...Puhlmann 1 Kyler Puhlmann 29 March 2014 English 1302 MRamirez Essay II Free Everyone takes a different approach when suffering with a loss of a loved one, whether it’s crying uncontrollably or being extremely mad. Louise Mallard had a different reaction when she had received the information about her husband death involving a train accident. Richards, a close friend of Mr. Mallard, knows that Louise does have heart trouble. So when relaying the information, they “ break to her as gently as possible the news of her husbands death (Kate Chopin IP1).” Going to her room, Louise locks herself in. Now standing there she’s finds a “roomy armchair” facing an open window. The sadness she’s feeling is gradually turning into joy. Kate Chopin “The Story of an Hour” Louise Mallard experiences rare emotions when grieving, which leads to her ironical death. To begin Mrs. Louise Mallard suffers from a heart condition and when asked to believe the story of her husband’s departure, “she did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept significants (Kate Chopin IP3)."

...PSYCOLOGY Wilhelm Wundt is the man most commonly identified as the father of psychology. Why Wundt? Other people such as Hermann von Helmholtz, Gustav Fechner, and ErnstWeber were involved in early scientific psychology research, so why are they not credited as father of psychology? Because Wundt's formation of the world's first experimental psychology lab is usually noted at the official start of psychology as a separate and distinct science. By establishing a lab that utilized scientific methods to study the human mind and behavior, Wundt took psychology from a mixture of philosophy and biology and made it a unique field of study. Wilhelm Maximilian Wundt (16 August 1832 – 31 August 1920) was a German physician, physiologist, philosopher, and professor, known today as one of the founding figures of modern psychology. Wundt, who noted psychology as a science apart from biology and philosophy, was the first person to ever call himself a Psychologist. He is widely regarded as the "father of experimental psychology".[4][5] In 1879, Wundt founded the first formal laboratory for psychological research at the University of Leipzig. This marked psychology as an independent field of study *Introduction of Psycology Psychology is the scientific study of behavior, cognition, and emotion. Psychology is an academic and applied discipline involving the scientific study of mental processes and behavior. Psychology also refers to the application of such knowledge to various spheres...
