...intern for the many attorney’s that were employed by said law firm. As luck had it, the partner attorney in charge of the office agreed to meet with me and offered me a job as an intern starting the following week. The work I helped to complete at the law firm from that point on involved mostly probate law, therefore, I grew very comfortable with the process of probate and the paperwork that went along with it. Along with this growing feeling of comfortableness, I also grew a slight feeling of boredom as I began to mindlessly complete the same work day in and day out. This slight boredom led my mind to wander, which later led me to determine that I wanted to focus more on family law in my future rather than probate law. Regardless of my wandering thoughts, time flew by while I was working at the law firm, and before I knew...

...Prof. Nelson English 49 09 May 2012 As a non-native speaker who immigrated to the U.S. two years ago, English is a big obstacle for me in communication. I have had many difficult times speaking and understanding English when talking to others. Writing an essay was almost impossible for me to think of. Realizing how difficult it was to experience these linguistic difficulties, I then decided to go back to school to improve my English skills. Therefore, English became especially essential for me to succeed in my educational goals. I was determined to earn an Associate’s degree then transfer to a university for a Bachelor’s degree. I started going to ESL classes and studied English very hard to make progress in my speaking, reading and writing skills. After spending one year in ESL classes, I qualified for English 43. I learned lots of grammar and how to write paragraphs efficiently during these classes. I noticed that writing an essay was more challenging when I got into English 49. However, since then I’ve learned how to write a five-paragraph argumentative essay which was one of my weaknesses in academic writings. I have made a lot of progress in writing skills since I started studying English 49. I now think that I’m ready to go on to English 101 due to the fact that I have learned useful strategies to follow a writing process and develop coherent paragraphs effectively. A writing process is the most important step that I learned in this class. First of all, before...

...Metacognitive Essay From the time I signed up for Composition, I was terrified for what laid in front of me. I had heard horror stories from the grades above me that after awhile I actually started to believe. Since Composition is a college class, I was uncertain if I was going to be successful, but with the help of peer responses and an understanding teacher, for the first time in highschool, I am confident in my writing. The writing process is the biggest thing that helped me in Composition class. There was only one essay where I did not use the writing process and because of that, I didn’t write to my fullest potential. After that learning experience, I started each paper with an outline. My outline consisted of splitting my information into paragraphs and from there figuring out the best way to put my ideas into words. Once I had a finished outline, I checked with Mrs. Gelwicks to ensure my essay would succeed. After I received the go ahead, I began to write my body paragraphs first before even thinking about my introduction. The...

...CHAPTER 1 Introduction Introduction is needed when you meet new people or are in the new place. It could help you to know the other people and make a conversation. It will also help you to make a good relationship just by introducing yourselves. The problem, how to make a good introduction? How to make the addressee interested to make conversation? A. Varieties of Introductions There are two varieties of introductions. They are formal and informal introductions. Both of that varieties are needed in introduction self or other people. It depends on the situation and addressee. When the addressee is older, educated, or have higher status, you should use the formal introduction. Besides, the informal introduction is used when the addressee is your age or younger than you. For example, when you meeting a president of a university, it is advisable to say, “How do you do?” rather than “How ya doing?” Likewise, someone, who is your age or younger would probably say, “It’s nice to meet you” rather than “How do you do?” Here are the other examples of introducing yourself: Formal Introduction | Informal Introduction | * Let me introduce myself. * I am glad for this opportunity to introduce myself. * I just wanted to introduce myself, * I don't believe we've met before, * I don't think we've actually met formally yet, | * My name is... * I'm... * Hi, I’m… * Hello guys, I’m… | Here are the examples of introducing someone else: Formal Introduction | Informal...

...The first time that I began writing the English academic essay is three years ago. In order to apply for universities in America, I should take the SAT test. In the test, the hardest part for me is writing. At that time, I realized that writing is never easy for an international student. It is a big challenge to write an academic paper by using the second language. The argument, thesis, word choices and grammar always bother me. However, I know that writing is the most important skill for a college student, so I never stop practicing and improving it. I took a writing class 20C and 39A in my first year. Both of them helped me a lot to improve writing skills. Last quarter, I took 39B, which was my first time to know rhetorical writing. When I take writing 39C this quarter, I learn deeply about the rhetorical and research...

Some excellent ideas will arise from his brain sometimes which make us think his synaptic connection in his brain is very strong. His face is always full of real warmth on the research. His cheerful spirits and bubble laughter infect me and encourage me to get through the difficulties. And, he generously supported me to get access to the schools and gave...

A Students Introduction To The Discussion Board Jay Smith A STUDENTS INTRODUCTION TO THE DISCUSSION BOARD 2 Abstract I would like to introduce myself, my name is Jay Smith, I live in Titusville, Florida where I manage the apartment building in which I reside. I am married now 3 years, have no children – just a fur face Manchester terrier named Louiee. My previous educational background consist of one semester at Daytona State College in 2001, as a Business Major. I have found that sometimes in live – one’s world can change in an instant and the course of the live that you had planned – suddenly changes. And looking back I believe this is what happened to me, as after one semester I chose to drop out and become involved in the local Daytona Area Music and Club scene. The results: A failed musician and a bloody nasty drinking habit. In 2004 I entered Savannah’s Hospital and completed the 28 day program. Since then I have 8 years without a drink. Woot! I love to share my experience, strength and hope with the newcomers, as I have stayed very active in the A.A. program, and most recently I have begun to teach the local Step Study Meetings for the “Celebrate Recovery” group here in town. “Celebrate Recovery” would be considered the Christian based A.A. program, with literature from author Rick Warren, (writer of “The...

I understand from our conversation that you recently parted ways with your former auditing firm as a result of mutually incongruent goals. I appreciate your interest in Anderson, Olds, and Watershed (AOW) and want to explain some of the many audit and assurance services that my firm has to offer. As a publicly traded company, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires Apollo Shoes to submit audited financial statements as part of its annual 10-K filing. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 also requires auditors to attest to the effectiveness of internal controls in the financial reporting process. My firm has years of experience in supporting organizations with these requirements. Not only is an independent audit of financial statements required by law, but it can also serve to provide external stakeholders with assurance that your financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These stakeholders, including banks, investors, and other creditors, rely on this assurance to assess the amount of risk involved in investing in your business. Often, a set of audited financial statements...
