...STATEMENT OF PURPOSE For the past few decades man is advancing in to the unknown realms of science and technology. This advancement is to make life easy and to increase human comfort at home and at work and I would like to be an integral part of such betterment. For this, research would be of prime importance with hands on experience in real time Applications accompanied by in-depth knowledge of the subject. Technology, today, means power in the widest sense and merely the power of mind. And it is this power potential that has given it the status it now enjoys. It was this fascination that led to my interest in Technology, in general. And in this context I would like to accomplish my master’s degree in Computer Science. A technologist’s job is one that requires a lot of discipline and so does its study. A person studying to become a technologist, along with the ability, requires dedication and perseverance. None of these, however, is possible without passion for the subject. I have true passion for Computer Science which gives me the determination to dedicate myself completely to its study. In-depth knowledge of any subject is possible only if one makes an effort to dig deep into the intricacies. This I realized when I started participating regularly in my school science fairs right from class five. The study and hands-on experience in making working models to explain scientific phenomena like electromagnetism, earthquakes and drip-irrigation polished my problem solving...

...While attending Lake Sumter State College the past few years have flow by. I not only achieved my set academic goals, I have also learned life lessons. I strived for the best and have a high GPA, with only one more semester of classes left until I graduate. Most students in community college take one or two classes at a time. I have always been a full time student while working two part time jobs, and doing extracurricular activities. My extracurricular activities include, being a chapter officer for Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society where I have gone on officer field trips, run programs for the group, volunteered on many occasions, and attended the weekly meetings. I also this year became the Vice- president of the Humanities Preservation Society. In this club, I went on numerous field trips, attended on campus activities, and volunteer and attended weekly meetings. Since the beginning of high school I have taught children’s Sunday school every week at my church, using two to three hours of my time spreading the word of God to the youth of my area. Teaching and mentoring these children, I have watched most of them grow up from babies to being in the early years of elementary school. I also volunteer on regular basis. I have volunteered at the public library since my first year of high school with the children’s librarian. I also work with children, setting up activities, helping out during holiday festivals, shelving book materials, and assisting patrons in any way that I can...

...My future professional goals are to attend college, then to start my own business of music education. When I open my music business I will offer private lessons in every instrument that I know or learn, group workshops, ensembles, and concerts to give all of my students the opportunity to learn, work together, and perform while enjoying the experience. I would also be content as an instrumental music teacher in a school; however, I prefer to open my own business. With the help of this scholarship, I believe that I can reach my professional goals. I must pay for college all on my own. My parents paid their own ways through college and they expect me to do the same. I also want to take control of my own finances so that I can effectively manage my own budget and be sure that I am spending my money responsibly. Additionally, as a future local small business owner, I want to learn how to raise money. The government and colleges do not believe that I have financial need because my dad has a good job as an...

...Southeastern Council on Military Education “How will my education enhance my future goals in life?” Submitted by Ellis Agee Jr. SSgt/USMC University of Maryland University College From the time that I could understand the English language, I have always remembered hearing in one way or another about the benefits of education on one’s life. Whether it have been watching a Hooked on Phonics commercial, playing with letter/number blocks or watching reading rainbow or Sesame Street on television, it seems like the basis has always been on the importance of learning new things. Virtually every job I have ever held or position I have worked in, required some form of education to complete the task. Whether this requirement was a high school diploma, in the case of military enlistment or on-the-job training on how to complete administrative tasks as a brand new Marine, education has always been of the utmost importance. According to Achieve Inc. (2012) Jobs that required limited skills--but still paid a family-supporting wage--have disappeared and increasingly have been replaced with jobs that require higher levels of education. The reality is that high school graduates that lack additional education/training face mostly dim and dead-end career prospects. Prospects are much dimmer for those who fail to finish high school at all. From my experiences thus far, I have seen first-hand just how essential education is for all people. As a Marine Corps recruiter working...

I would like to become a writer, to do this I need to have a good paying career, and to do that, I must go to college. My goals are seemingly simple, but have many steps that most don't think about. To achieve these goals I'll need to answer a few questions to create a plausible plan of action. What do I need to do currently, what needs to be done in the future, how much will this cost me, and how will I obtain the money for this goal?

...Celestin Jules Assignment 4 I remember in the early to mid-90’s the word information super highway was the buzz word. I was very young and clueless when I started hearing about the information super highway. I understood the terms highway and super, however I didn’t get the totality of what an information superhighway encompassed. The business dictionary defines information superhighway as "Internet-type global network of computers that, potentially, will connect most of world's individuals, firms, and organizations. It is envisioned to provide very high speed access to information in all forms (text, graphics, audio, video) via a telephone or wireless connection. The term was first used in 1985 by the 45th US Vice President (1993-2001) Al Gore (born 1948) in an American context where every citizen is aimed to be so connected". As a kid, I hardly knew what a personal computer was, but I was kind of familiar with a word processor. I became a little familiar with the Apple computer because of a work study program that I was involved in. Based on the information I had at that time, I thought a computer was something that you stored information solely for an individual’s use. While I was familiar with using my computer at work to interface with other departments within the organization, I had no idea that the electronic information system would one day be an absolute necessity in my everyday life, both at work and in my personal life. I didn’t...

...Three to Five Year/Future Perspective of the Topic Managerial planning and goal setting is an important concept used by organizations of all types. Governments, unions, corporations, citizens, organizations, and small businesses all use some form of managerial planning in order to set goals for the future. Although planning and goal setting is developed during the present period, it is intended to be used for the future benefit of the organization. Managers incorporate a variety of plans in order to accomplish tasks and prepare for the future of their organization. Simply, future plans and goals may be created for projects, the organization as a whole, or to plan for upcoming events. While many plans are used for the present time, without a good future perspective, the organization will not be successful. The U.S. government has set up a council to map out the future of the world. Chapter seven of the text, Management by Richard L. Daft, pointed out the website of the National Intelligence Council (224). Looking as far ahead as 2020, the NIC provides several possible scenarios of how the world may look and evolve throughout the years. They provide policymakers with promising opportunities, as well as negative areas in the world’s development. This agency consults experts from all around the world in order to get an accurate global perspective. The NIC has already published several reports; two of the most recent were named “Global Trends 2010” and “Global Trends 2015...

...elements that will ensure a prosperous future. Personal responsibilities in my opinion are the responsibility to do whatever is necessary to achieve a successful future. Setting goals is an essential element in achieving success. Short, as well as long-term goals, need to be set and achieved in a timely fashion. Time management is critical even though it may be enormous concern using the correct amount of thought goals can produce in time. Setting goals is extremely crucial for success both for short and long term goals are needed. The definition for goals in the dictionary is: “the end toward which effort or ambition is directed.” According to http://unabridged.merriam-webster.com/unabridged/goals. First you would need to devise a plan and put the goals in place. Then using time management and personal responsibility you would achieve those goals. Short term goals should be used as a stepping stone to reach long term goals. As an example, you would set a short-term goal like earning an associate’s degree so that you can earn a bachelor degree which would be a long-term goal. When it’s all said and done setting and reaching goals is an essential element in achieving a college education which will ensure a successful future. The relationship between personal responsibility and college success is very simple. In order to achieve college success, you must be responsible for using time management that will allow you to set and achieve goals. My personal responsibility to myself...

...obtain organizational goals, performance management is a structured process of ensuring that a company’s employee’s personal work load and performance is being put forth to achieve productivity and benefit the company to uphold toward meeting the organizational goals and challenges. Strategic measures can be set to achieve the goals of the organization and to set alignment with what the organization is striving to achieve such as setting self achievable goals, the corporate goals, as well as department goals. (Roberts, A.) There is also an administrative standpoint, which relates performance appraisals from the outcome of the performance overview with supporting information which eventually determines the salary increases to be set forth, or benefits and recognition programs such as incentives or cash pay outs for a job well done. After the performance overview is completed there is a final step, which includes areas of improvement to benefit the company through future training and development in which areas the employee lacks. Within my current company, we refer to our performance management system as a Performance Management Process (PMP). Each quarter, our management sits down with all his/ her employees to engage with them on their personal performance being put forth. The first quarter is basically an overview of what organizational goals and personal goals management would like to see their employees incorporate within their work for future success.

...Running head: LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE 1 PSY 202 Tykerra Cox Prof. Donn Leiske August 18, 2014 LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE 2 The three personal, professional and academic goals I chose for my major field of study was to buy a house, become a human resource manager and graduate from Ashford University with my Bachelor’s degree on Business Administration. S.M.A.R.T. goal is defined as one that is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound. Specific: Goals should be simplistically written and clearly define what you are going to do. Measurable: Goals should be measurable so that you have tangible evidence that you have accomplished the goal. Attainable: Goals should be achievable. They should stretch you slightly so you feel challenged, but defined well enough so that you can achieve them. You must possess the appropriate knowledge, skills and abilities needed to achieve the goal. Realistic: Goals should measure outcome, not activities. Time-Bound: Goals should be linked to a time frame that creates a practical sense of urgency, or results in tension between the current reality and the vision of the goal. Without such tension, the goal is unlikely to produce a relevant outcome. Accountability Plan: 1. What are my goals? My goals are to buy a new home, become a human resource manager and graduate Ashford University with my bachelor’s degree. 2. I am responsible for meeting all requirements, doing all assignments to maintain good grades, having...
