...Well start what I did over the Christmas break, I went to my dads I never really see him that often. So we took a road trip to the camp long drive by the way where I had shot my first deer yeah 14 year old shot his first deer this late right. So we made fires. Ate deer stew that my dad no salt god It was plain. Mainly we only ate sandwiches, plus no butter knives so we just pour it on top. It was fun my step cousin had come down, they didn’t see any deer. And I might add that we could not use our phones, data would not work cell service also was a no go the only thing I could do was play minecraft and who wants to play minecraft like come one. But it was fun few burns from the fire, but It was a fun long drive back. Now if I was a teacher, I would probably go insane, I see how teachers get treated no sir I don’t want to be a teach bye. But seriously, I would just say “ok class get on a math website hint hint make sure if a teacher comes in you better be doing math work hint hint” yep sounds like me. Being a teacher really has no good pay, but them vacation god i would be the first one out “bye”. And if I was a high school teacher just shoot me. I would not make it out the door.

...Christmas break 2017 was astonishing. Enjoying tremendous food, receiving pleasant gifts and spending time with those I hold dear. The holidays are one of the best times of the year, although Christmas was not the only important event to happen during the break. New Year's Eve and New Years Day occurred during the break as well as Christmas. Now I’m asking you to imagine this, a cool, Winter’s day in December. School just released and everyone is ecstatic to go home. Jumping into your parent's car, you're home free. That is how my Christmas break began. For the first few days of the break, I did nothing. For the first few days of the break, I was determined to regain the sleep I had lost in the previous few months. As a result of this, Christmas...

...Joneice Butler 26 September 2011 Eng. 112-01 Research Proposal Writing Have you ever had a topic that touch’s you deep inside your heart? Have you ever had that feeling like you tried to help but nothing works, as if you have no say at all? The topic that I would like to discuss in class would be child depression. This is a touchy topic to me because I am dealing with it right now with my little sister, it is a serious issue that most parents or teachers feel as though it isn’t a serious thing but it can lead to multiple other types of issue such as suicide and bullying. As a little girl she only grew up with my mother and I and her dad was in jail for about 8 years of her life so she never had a father figure. Then when she was 10 he got out of jail, he wasn’t really there that much as she hoped but she was willing to accept it. Then her 8th grade year he went back to jail and that hurt her a lot, because she was losing him all over again. That was when her attitude started to change then my first year of college she became depressed and never wanted to talk to anyone about her feelings. She felt as though everyone was leaving her and her and my mom weren’t the closest. When I came back for Christmas break that was when my mom told me that my sister had been cutting herself on her stomach and wrist and she had been seeing a therapist since I left for school. When I heard that it made me break down crying because no child should feel that way or do that kind of stuff to...

...especially in my English 1101 class. I thought I knew everything there was to know about writing when I came in on my first day, but I was very wrong. My professor assured me that there is much more to writing than just putting words down on paper. Knowing all of this, I have now learned how to improve on my writing skills, how to write better grammatically correct sentences, incorporate quotes and research and give as well as get criticism. When I came into this semester as a freshman I was very confident in the quality of my writing. However, my self-esteem was soon crushed shortly thereafter. Even though my writing skills had been very good compared to my classmates in high school, at the university level they were just average. After hearing about the on average grades students get in professor Elliott’s class, I knew I had a lot of work to do to receive an A on a paper. I had to do something quick to learn how improve on my writing skills. With the help of my teacher, she made us a read a variety of articles that were very interesting, yet also very insightful and helpful at the same time. One article that really stood out to me was called “Engfish.” In high school, teachers tend to get really impressed if you have really big words in a paper, but when you incorporate such large words, you tend to start losing your argument and start talking about nothing. After reading about “Engfish and having these helpful hints my professor threw my way, I...

...Walt Disney Company Maria Galarza COM530 September 5, 2011 Brent Smith Walt Disney Company Walt Disney Company’s philosophy is giving the best customer services available to their customers. In this paper I will break down how the Walt Disney Company accomplishes their philosophy goals. I will use the most popular place Walt Disney philosophy is being used, which are their parks and resorts. I will also give you my personal experience when I visited Disney World. As everyone knows Walt Disney Company used the statement “Make people happy.” a priority. (Jordan, 2007) Disney started installing this in their employees, which they call Cast Members. The reason they call them Cast Members is because they have to be reminded that they are always on stage to entertain their customers. Disney also uses the word Guest for their customers. This reminds the employees that where they work at is their home and the customers are visiting it. Everyone that works for Disney has a role to make the customer happy, even the person that sweeps. They are not only sweeper but they are people that make a cleaner and happier place for their guest. The way Disney installs this to their employees is by training them. Once they go through an intense screening as applicants, they are interview by their peers. The first interview is usually done with three applicants and a supervisor. During this process the supervisor evaluates their human relation skills. Once they pass this process they go...

...Considerations in Choosing Between an Online and Traditional Education Leslie De La Rosa COM/155 University Composition and Communication 1 Frances Lord September 1, 2012 Considerations in Choosing Between an Online and Traditional Education In today’s technological age, there are many choices for Americans of all ages to attend college. A student may choose to attend a traditional college or to continue their education through one of the many online programs available. Both online and traditional educations offer a quality education to students, but differ in financial needs, scheduling flexibility, learning styles and career choice. Any person looking to further their education needs to do extensive research to determine which course is right for them. The first consideration to be taken into account is financial needs. Most colleges offer their students help in finding financial aid. This includes loans and grants to cover tuition costs. Loans have to be repaid after graduation, whereas grants do not have to be repaid. Most colleges will also provide information on scholarships for students. The yearly cost to attend a traditional university is $7084.00 for tuition, $9020.00 for room and board, and $992.00 for books. This is a total of $17,096.00 per year and does not include extra fees such as lab fees (Texas A & M Corpus Christi). This price also varies by university. The highest ranked private universities can cost up to $250,000 for a four year program...

...Reflection Paper The event happened the night before I left for home for Christmas break. A friend and I went over to Teresa to hang out with friends in somebody’s dorm room. There was no alcohol when we got there but somebody suggested that we get alcohol. Somebody went to get beer, Axis energy drinks containing alcohol and a couple of 40 oz. malt liquor bottles. I took an Axis and only had a few sips, not liking the taste. I knew I shouldn’t have been in the environment I was in, with so much alcohol and alcohol drinking going on. I knew it wasn’t allowed on campus, yet continued to stay in the room and talk to people and listen to music. At one point during the night I noticed many people leaving the room, not realizing immediately that a resident assistant was at the door. My first instinct was to stay. I had no thought of leaving, and knew I had to take responsibility for my actions. I spoke with the RA giving him my name and telling him my ID number having left my card in my dorm room. I helped count the alcohol cans in the room and proceeded to help bring them out to the dumpster. I was very nervous as to if my parents would find out because I know that they would be extremely disappointed, possibly even pulling me out of St. Edward’s and making me go to school closer to home. So I am extremely fortunate that they did not find out and I do not plan on doing anything to get in trouble again. If I am ever put in this situation again I would leave immediately if I found...

...Executive summary: During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the United States received a rude awakening on the importance of quality. Foreign competition, particularly from the Japanese, resulted in the increase of market share for many Japanese companies. And the Sanyo Manufacturing Company is the one. Thanks to globalization and rapid advances in technology, today’s manufacturing environment is increasingly competitive. Manufacturers need to stay focused on finding new ways to design, produce, sell and deliver products. In manufacturing, quality is an important component of all functions. And the ability to achieve world-class status in manufacturing and service depends on a business strategy driven by total quality management. And in this paper, we will learn to understand management approach to quality between Japanese and U.S. and other questions about quality through Sanyo Case. Question 1: compare and contrast the U.S. and Japanese management approach to quality at Sanyo. a) What is emphasized? b) How is quality measured? Answers: In the Warwick days, volume and cost were all-important. In other words, Warwick wouldn’t like to pay any extra money to quality problems which occur on the assembly line. But Sanyo is different. Sanyo take improving quality as the number one priority for the plant. If there are some troubles take place on the line, Sanyo will ignore the cost and deal with the trouble as soon as possible. Companies get...

...uniquely positioned to inform, empower, and inspire, Comcast embraces the opportunity to create conversation and mobilize action. They believe it's not just about moving the business forward; it's about moving people forward. Comcast has gone through many organizational changes and acquisitions like many global companies. Employees in the call centers feel that with all the changes made the company has lost sight of the employees’ wants and needs. Comcast has a great health benefits package, free cable service, employee engagement activities, incentives, perks and discounts with other companies, and a great financial benefits package. However employees are still unsatisfied because of the things they used to have such as Christmas parties, Christmas bonus, bigger productivity bonuses and a more laid back atmosphere. Employees in the billing department use to receive comp time off and received higher commissions. The Chicago Division Billing call center employees don’t feel that the company gets the input of the employees affected by these changes. With the change of these policies things they used to get commission on they no longer receive. Comcast has gone through a lot of budget cuts and their salaries compared to other companies in their market are much lower. I work as a supervisor in the Chicagoland...
