...Our story began four years ago on an ordinary September day. All of us were scared, excited, and nervous for what Schalick was going to offer us. As young “fresh meat”, we didn’t know what to expect, going off of those movies where high school is all fun and games. Some of us expected that we would get lost, or shoved in a locker. Instead, we’ve made new friends, and were able to familiarize ourselves with what would be our second home for the next four years. We were able to experience what every Schalick student enjoys about high school: the football games, the pep rallies, homecoming, and Green and Gold. If our freshman year was this good, what could the rest of high school hold for us? When sophomore year came by, we were able to feel more comfortable with our surroundings and we knew what to expect. New classes meant new experiences. Driver’s Ed is something all of us had waited for. Receiving your blue card symbolized getting one step closer to adulthood and freedom. And who could forget about the famous leaf project, that has impacted our lives...

...Senior year was unexpected and full of surprises. Many things happened that I never would’ve thought to see myself doing. I won first place at the local Esthetics contest, third place at regionals, and third place at state. I was inducted into the National Technical Honor Society, I got accepted into the Tri-RIvers School of Nursing, and I even started the process of opening a business. It has definitely been a year to remember, and easily the best year in all of my years of schooling. I am so glad I made the decision to enroll at Tri-Rivers. Going in to Tri-Rivers, all I set for myself was to accomplish earning my Esthetics license, and I achieved exactly that and more. I became certified in CPR and first-aid, and had good grades in all of...

...I'm not the number one student in my class, but I have to always keep improving. Improvement is something extremely important in life, because it shows that you have the courage and dedication to keep pursuing the problem or question that has a solution; it just has to be found. I didn't start high school the smoothest; freshman year, I wasn't aware of how important that year was to me. Now, Senior year, I see how important my time in high school was. I spent my time as if I was still in middle school. Over time, I learned what it meant to commit my time to something important. For example, Soccer, as previously stated in my application; was a very important part of my high school career. How many hours of my week went to soccer? Fifteen hours...

I went to one of the specialty schools in the Richmond Public Schools system. Two of the requirements for graduation was the freshman paper and the senior thesis. Looking back, I remember how hard I was struggling in completing my freshmen paper. It was about the effects of the pollution in the Chesapeake Bay. The 10 page paper required extensive research with 350 flashcards, 3 drafts, and a class trip to the Chesapeake Bay at the end of...

...a doctor. “What kind of doctor” was the question I asked myself? I was about to start my senior year of high school, but still asked myself the same question. However, senior year in my Biomedical Engineering class I was told each week I had to research an article that was somehow related to the class. I had to read the research/article thoroughly, write a three to four page research paper and present my findings in front of the class. At first I wasn’t so eager about the assignment, because not only I hate writing but also reading. However by doing these research papers helped me shape my career aspiration and also helped prepare me for college level research papers. The first article I read that grabbed my attention was “Thoughts Control Robotic Hands”. The article talked about how a group of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have implanted an array of electrodes into the motor cortex of a patient’s brain enabling...

...Fire Service Executive Summary The topic of the glass ceiling has been of great interest in recent years especially in the field of management. The problem is that women demonstrate successful qualities over years and despite the qualities that they possess, the glass ceiling still continue to exist in organizations that are male dominating and find it difficult to break into management. The purpose of this research is to identify the barriers that exists impeding women’s career progression in the fire service and to make recommendations that the St. Lucia Fire Service may implement to increase capacity in senior management level. It is important for women to be part of senior management since women currently make a proportionally larger percentage at the workplace and also because the government has established that in any form of recruitment into the fire service, women should make up twenty percent of the capacity. This research examined how the concept of the glass ceiling is unavoidable in the fire service. Two stages of data collection and analysis were carried out. By using descriptive research the status of women in the fire service will be presented. A questionnaire was developed and delivered to two hundred fire personnel. An analysis of answers from the questionnaire was analyzed to assess the opinions about the impact of females on promotions to senior management. To continue) Introduction Although women in management are becoming more visible yet...

...Oracle: The Research Journal of the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors Vol. 4, Iss. 2, September 2009 THE EFFECTS OF FRATERNITY/SORORITY MEMBERSHIP ON COLLEGE EXPERIENCES AND OUTCOMES: A PORTRAIT OF COMPLEXITY Ashley M. Asel, Tricia A. Seifert, and Ernest T. Pascarella This study estimated the effects of fraternity/sorority membership on a wide range of college experiences and outcomes for first-year and senior college students at a large, public, Midwestern university. The findings suggest a complex portrait of the relationships between affiliation, engagement, and learning outcomes. Fraternity/sorority membership appeared to facilitate social involvement during college but may have limited the diversity of relationships. It was associated with higher levels of community service, but also increased the odds of excessive alcohol use. In the presence of controls for important, confounding influences, being a fraternity/sorority member had little consistent influence on grades or perceived impact of college. There was little support for gender differences in the impact of affiliation. Finally, implications for student affairs professionals in their work with undergraduate fraternity/sorority leaders and members were considered. Most institutions of higher education hold student learning and success as parts of their primary missions (Kuh, Kinzie, Schuh, Whitt, & Associates, 2005; Kuh, Schuh, Whitt, & Associates, 1991). Faculty members, staff members, and administrators...

Wide variations exist in how the term ‘talent’ is defined across differing sectors, and organizations may prefer to adopt their own interpretations rather than accepting universal or prescribed definitions. That said, it is helpful to start with a broad definition and, from our research, we have developed a working definition for both ‘talent’ and ‘talent management’: Talent consists of those individuals who can make a difference to organizational performance...

...Henry Ford, was an American industrialist who was born in the early 1860. As a young boy, Henry worked as a farm boy and he was very unsatisfied. At the age of 16, he decided to leave home to work in as a machinist in Detroit. In later years, he learned how to skillfully operate service steam engines. Henry Ford was also, the sponsor of the development called the Assembly Line. Henry Ford soon got married in 1888 to Clara Ala Bryant and had their first child named Edsel Bryant Ford.

Henry immediately...
