That path might change throughout the course of one's life in response to personal changes, or external stimuli such as social, political, or economic pressure.
The key is, it does not matter exactly which career a person chooses, so long as that career reflects their developmental stage and their core beliefs about self. Since the psycho-social developmental theories of Erikson coincide with the career development research by Stone and Gottfredson, it remains important to approach the topic of career development from a more general psycho-social perspective. Internal factors such as personality and taste are combined with external factors like economic need and social pressure.
Ethics related to career path development also need to be taken into consideration, which is why developmental theories of career planning are important. Erikson described how a person needs to achieve a sense of personal identity in terms of political beliefs, gender, and religion. However, Erikson person…

It is a valuable resource, and one that I will visit more than once. The career assessments and resume tips were the most helpful right now, but I can see that much of the information will be crucial in the future when I look for a job after graduation.
Finally, there were some areas of this site that were extremely valuable, and others that were not. Some areas were still "under construction" as so were useless. However, the Career Decision Making" section was very detailed and gives the student many options and assessments to think about in planning their future. It was a little bit of a pain to have to register and login if this was the first visit to the site, it would have been easier if the information was just available to everyone. However, it seems overall the site was valuable and a good resource. If I…

Career Plan
The personal career planning tool is used as a means of assisting individuals in determining possible career paths. Strengths, weaknesses and interests are all included within the overall plan to better aid the individual in determining a career that will provide both challenge and satisfaction. The document is both multifaceted and flexible which allows the individual to alter it in the event of change. In addition, the career planning tool helps determine viable means in which to accomplish the individual's career objectives. It provides a means of identifying individuals who may can assist, mentor, and otherwise cultivate the individual into a desired candidate for the future. Likewise, the career planning tool sets goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, and timely (SMART). Below are simple guidelines that should be following to effectively utilize this method of planning.

Career Planning Program for 16-year-Old males (Older Adolescence)
Career planning is important to all people irrespective of their age. For older adolescents, the first phase of career planning includes encouraging the adolescent males to summarize their career development needs and information through self-assessment. The summary will be inclusive of information clarified through the self-assessment step and career development exploration. The approach helps in communicating the major preferences, interests, values, and strengths to the advisor and emulation of skill development needs. Self-assessment narrows down to processes that involve evaluation of the skills, potential, strengths, and ability to meet career goals. An individual does assessments and the analyses form the basis for drafting plans keeping in mind the strengths and weaknesses (Gibbons, Borders, Wiles & Davis, 2006). The draft of the plan means that there is the execution of helping for finalizing the career path and profession that the 16-year-old wants to choose.…

Personal Career Advertising: Selling Oneself
Following the process recommended in the instructions has afforded me the opportunity to developing some insights into what the future might hold for me. I must admit that I was initially skeptical relative to both the suggestions made and . I reluctantly proceeded with the assignment with this skepticism in mind but quickly found myself enlightened.
Preparing in advance for assignments has never been one of my strengths. Since early in my educational career I have had to have deadlines imposed in order to motivate me to complete projects. This has resulted in my often submitting work that was less than my best. Even as I am reaching the end of my education I still struggle every day with this issue. I have learned to play games with myself by imposing artificial deadlines and providing periodic rewards for completing each step of a project but procrastinating remains…
commitment to serve others. In my current employment at a bank, I am well aware that many individuals see the work as 'just a job,' or as something that is used to merely fill the time between 8-5. I genuinely enjoy helping customers and solving their problems. I also love to learn and see each day at work as an opportunity to enhance my education. I view banking as a service industry, not a job that is merely about facts and figures. One of the aspects of working at a bank that I love the most is that I do not feel as if I need to choose between working "with people, data, things or ideas" as my job combines all of these facets (Farren 2009).
What are my capabilities?
My capabilities include handling large amounts of cash and being entrusted to review the personal financial data of bank customers. I…

Nature of Career Planning:
There are three major ways with which careers have been described traditionally including being defined as a series of positions held within an occupation. Secondly, careers have also been traditionally described in the framework of an organization's mobility. Thirdly, a career is described as an employee's characteristic consisting of several experiences, jobs, and positions. However, this description of career has changed drastically in contemporary working environments to be referred to as protean careers.
Career planning can also be described as a purposeful process where goals are transformed into guidelines for implementation. This process of translating goals into implementation guidelines enables people to connect their anticipations psychologically with the actual behavioral procedures and plans. The process involves thinking about the kind of job and work environment that permits individuals to accomplish their goals. Therefore, career goals are related to the career planning process since they have a motivating…

Nursing Leader and Advocacy
Personal and Professional Accountability
Accountability is the ability of someone to be aware of his/her actions a nurse and be responsible. It is also defined as a habit, which one should have, in accordance to doing what is expected and what is required of him or her in the society or rather as a nurse. However, the concept is associated with some strengths and weaknesses. When people are accountable in their workplace, one can make others trust them in whatever they do. Some people can misuse this privilege (Peltzer et al., 2016). In addition, when one is accountable in life it means he/she is focused in carrying out his/her work with a lot of confidence and have an objective to achieve in a professional way. Accountability also makes people be self-driven because they can train themselves towards their target in life. The concept relates to doing good for…

Part One
I am currently a middle school math teacher who works with kids that have emotional behavior disorders. To advance my career, I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in school counseling. My short term goal is to be a high school guidance counselor, and I have long term goals of staring a full-service consulting group that helps underprivileged or underserved students access resources and tools for personal and professional development.
As a middle school math teacher, I started to work with students with emotional and behavioral disorders. I started working with students with special needs because of my background in psychology and my interest in working in education. Teachers need an abundance of different skills and abilities, perhaps more than any other field. Communications skills help us to speak to a class collectively while also reaching individual students. We also need to interact regularly with administrators, colleagues, and parents. In…

We started by the intake interview where we sought to determine his suitability for the major. This entailed asking him questions that allowed us to determine his preparedness and enthusiasm towards the course. During the interview, it was evident that the student was highly prepared for his course of interest. Firstly, his academic qualifications were above the needed minimum entry requirements. His mastery of the basics related to the course was excellent. Apparently, he had performed extensive research on what the major entailed. He also answered all the questions asked by the panel satisfactorily. For example, his ability to express himself concerning questions such as the reasons why he wanted the course, his strengths, weaknesses, and biology-related questions were excellent. Therefore, intake interview panel recommended him for the course based on…

I am an American resident having completed all my studies here. Throughout my elementary and secondary years, I held various positions such as class representative.

After completing this course, I intend to sort out today's market needs and the employment opportunities just within the country (Herrick 50). My belief is that improvement and continuous innovation are the keys for competing in the currently challenging market. I have done extensive research about…
It is the role of the career counselor to work with the diverse populations and help guide them to success through building their confidence in their abilities.
Conclusion
Career counseling is a profession in which the counselors have an impact on the national workforce and its direction, though many professional counseling majors in college ignore career counseling as a potential career. As the world continues to diversify and globalize the impact career counselors have on society will continue to expand.

Career Information
Finding the most appropriate and up-to-date information about a specific career could be a tedious process. Luckily though, there are numerous sources of career information an individual could rely. In this text, I analyze three occupational information sources.
O*NET esource Center (http://www.onetcenter.org)
In brief, O*NET describes itself as "the nation's primary source of occupational information" (O*NET, 2014). As the organization further points out on its Website, its database comprises of hundreds of descriptors that are both standardized and occupation-specific. One key advantage of this particular source of occupational info is the fact that its database is continually updated so as to keep up with trends and changes in the job market. The said update is done through "surveying a broad range of workers from each occupation" (O*NET, 2014). Yet another key benefit of this source of occupational info is its huge database of occupational definitions. It should, however, be noted that…

To register, sonographers must pass a series of tests proving mastery of ultrasound procedures.
At the same time, sonographers can also receive special training from a variety of different venues including specialized programs ancillary to nursing coursework. The most common means of achieving the required certification is via a two-year Associates degree program ("Medical Sonographer Career and Job Information"). Coursework in specialized sonography programs includes ethical issues in health care as well as instruction in anatomy and physiology. Moreover, sonographers must prove they are able to life, push and pull heavy equipment and should be in general good health ("So You ant to Be a Sonographer").

Members agree to report any breach of the TPI Code to the Institute, subject to legal restrictions and assist the Institute in any related investigation. Lastly, the Council has the power to discipline members who are in breach of the code, yet this action will only be undertaken if the Council believes is personally responsible for the breach.
Does the Code of Conduct Address the Conceptual and Legal Meaning of Professionalism:
The TPI Code of Conduct addresses some of the conceptual meaning of professionalism. Duty, honor and integrity are addressed in the clauses in a variety of ways. The clauses concerning conflict of interest, the commitment to lifelong learning, reporting of gifts or commissions, ensuring members do not make statements contrary to their bona fide opinions, and taking all steps possible to maintain professional competence cover these two aspects quite well. Caring and altruism, however, are not fully addressed with the…

The "Dutch Test for Conflict-Handling," indentified my personality to have medium 'yielding' conflict style. This is consistent with my articulated belief that agreeability when handling conflicts is required, but not to the point that ethics are ignored. My test results on the "Big Five Personality" test thus support the notion that when handling ethical conflicts solving problems on a personal level and achieving a mutually beneficial solution is ideal. The need to do this in the financial industry today is evident in how many banks must renegotiate mortgages -- no one wants a foreclosure, as this benefits neither the home owner or the bank. Rather, resetting an interest rate so the home owner can stay in the homes but still make payments is the best solution, and this requires a compromise on both sides, ideally without a settlement in court.

The primary competitor for the new indoor softball and baseball facility would be the Suffolk County Police Athletic League, which is a long established and traditional facility. They offer a wide variety of sports, including baseball, softball, football or basketball. This particular facility is mostly focused on receiving adult and skilled members, which will join the club's team and participate to competitions. In other words, they are only limitedly interested in attracting and training inexperienced members, but they look for those individuals who would add value to their already existent team. Another major competitor would be the South Bay Battlecats, but they only admit members between the ages of 9 and 22, basically closing the door to baseball and softball to all those older than 22.
Then, there are some educational institutions, such as the Dowling College or the Stony Brook University, which offer baseball and/or softball training to their pupils.…

Planning and Reflection
During my student teaching experiences I kept a journal, which greatly helped me to organize my thoughts and clarify the areas in which I most needed to improve. My mentor also pointed out for me the key areas that need improvement. Therefore, as I look forward to a professional career as a teacher, I will be able to draw on these early experiences. I will remember what works and what doesn't and I already feel far more confident and proficient than I did before I undertook the student teaching challenge. In general a few major themes emerged through reviewing my journal entries and the statements written by my mentors. My strengths are my willingness to use a wide variety of teaching materials and teaching styles. An enthusiastic implementation of multimedia materials keeps students actively engaged, and keeps lessons more interesting. Moreover, my lessons are well-planned and incorporate a…

The purpose of the report is to discuss both Wal-Mart and Target, in order to show that the companies have many similarities and differences to be addressed when I am looking for employment. The scope of the research addresses a SWOT analysis, along with other information about the company.
The majority of the data will come from Marketline documents that provide company and SWOT analysis information. Other data comes from the companies' websites and an article written about Wal-Mart's expansion to other countries.
Target is the preferred company to work for, for a variety of reasons. Those reasons will become apparent through the…

Planning Your Project
The nature of the problem is that in the clinical setting there are a large number of issues, such as falls, pressure ulcers, and these lead to lower levels of customer satisfaction and negative patient outcomes. There are ways to improve both customer service and to help the patients. So this is the problem that needs to be tackled.
The setting is in a clinic, where patients are in rooms, and there is sometimes a relatively minimal level of nursing supervision. The patients are sometimes able to move freely around their rooms, and this creates the conditions where the patient might fall or otherwise injure themselves, and there is no way for anybody to know that this has happened. The clinic needs to institute evidence-based practice in order to improve the patient outcomes and the service levels that the nurses are providing.
The impact of the problem is significant. Particularly…
Motivation for Career Change
Over time, the manner in which different people define success tends to change, and this has certainly been the case with me. Despite the challenges that are involved, I have become highly motivated to make a change in my career that will help fulfill my revised definition of personal and professional success. In this regard, for the past several years, I have been studying clinical medicine and successfully completed my bachelor's degree at Yunyang Medical College in this program of study in mid-2008. Following the completion of my bachelor's degree at Yunyang Medical College, I was employed as an intern at the Weifang Maternal and Child Health Hospital where I gained valuable practical experience in hospital paper-based and computerized administration as well as various treatment protocols. While I found these healthcare experiences to be illuminating and fulfilling, there was something missing. As a result, I came to…

Conclusion:
The hospitality and hotel management industry provides numerous opportunities for individual development and success. Notably, success in this industry depends on the formal and informal career training and educational programs that an individual receives. These programs help in career development and management in relation to current and future career goals. Therefore, career development plan is based on the knowledge, skills, and abilities obtained from these training programs.

milestones in my career as well as identify principle actions and advice that assisted me in moving forward in my career. People often are not aware of the difficulties that entail being a career counselor. It requires a myriad of skills of which take time to learn and master. The first major milestone I discuss is the utilization of the Myers-Briggs Test. This test not only helped me identify options for people career-wise, but also categorize them in a way that was easy to discuss and examine.
My next major milestone involved the four phases of assessment. It takes time to evaluate and understand where the client is intellectually and emotionally. By assessing things like education level, preferences, it makes it easier to understand where that person can take their career in relation to their current skills or plans for future skill development. Everything takes time to fully grasp and…

Identify two new pieces of financial information that you learned about this week that will help you make informed financial decisions about your future and eventual retirement.
Personal financial management and financial planning can be daunting. It helps to learn more about the tools people can use to plan their savings and budget for the future. One of the things I learned this week that will help me make informed financial decisions is how to be a responsible borrower. For one, I never considered credit cards as being a form of lending. Essentially, people who forget that credit cards entail borrowing money from a bank can get into a lot of trouble with debt accumulation. Next, taking out loans can be tricky. Student loans tend to have reasonable interest rates, but any amount of interest is still going to add up over time. The less the loan principal, the less the…
Professional Plans and Career Objectives
Goal Statement for Insert Name
My career mission is to work in a dynamic team-oriented company performing financial analysis and helping to guide key decisions related financial projections that direct capital expenditures. I enjoy the mechanics of small details and insuring compliance to specific budgets, report types and the impact that this type of granularity has on recommendations for major decisions within a company.
My pre-college work experience taught me the differences between customer service, labor, and accounting and finance. The hands-on work I performed in a service industry provided me with an appreciation for customers and the need to efficiently do a good job but this type of career left me without a sense of challenge. Eventually I felt drawn to the back office as I learned that the payments and processing and efficient entry of data surrounding transactions was the lifeblood of the business. Eventual work…
prioritizing your work on a typical day?
Prioritizing work means coming up with a schedule that is based partly on the importance of meeting specific deadlines, but also based on the actual importance of each task and the people who requested them. Low priority items would get shifted to the bottom of my to-do list, freeing up energy and time for the more important activities. However, on some days it is helpful to tick off some of the low priority and easy tasks early.
Tell us how would you handle a disgruntled customer who is not satisfied with your job performance?
Handling disgruntled bosses or disgruntled customers requires patience, confidence, and poise. The first thing I would do would be to take a step away from the conversation if I find myself getting upset. I can return to it later with a calm and clear mind. Then, I would try to get…
My notable contributions in this capacity include obtaining investment funding and sponsorships, securing a co-production partnership with Storm 360, a leading West African entertainment company, and forging media partnerships with HiTV, Silverbird TV, NN24, and BusinessDay among others. In addition, I established and implemented overall business objectives of becoming a world-class production and broadcast company offering international broadcast content to strengthen the spirit of enterprise and human development throughout Africa and across the globe. Furthermore, I played an integral role in representing company in key business negotiations.
Further, I also played a pivotal leadership role in winning various team-based tasks, including developing and marketing a new fast-food chicken entree for Chicken Republic, planning and executing a hotel redecoration project at Eko Hotel & Suites, presenting a route to market's strategy for West Africa's largest cell phone provider, Celtel, and formulating a marketing strategy for a new energy drink for Nigeria's…

Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
Contemporary Approaches Used for Assessment and Diagnosis
The Center for Quality Assessment and Improvement in Mental Health relates screening tools used for screening for bipolar disorder to include the 'Mood Disorder Questionnaire' (MDQ); the 'Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) ipolar Disorder Screening Scale'; Differential Diagnosis of ipolar Disorder I & II vs. Major Depressive Disorders; and Obtaining a Family History Through the Use of a Genogram. The MDQ is designed for use as a tool to aid in screening for present and past incidences of mania and hypomania and includes 13 questions related to the symptoms of bipolar disorder in addition to items that assess the clustering of symptoms as well as any functional impairment. (CQAIMH, 2014, paraphrased) The Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) ipolar Disorder Screening Scale' can be used to make accurate identification of "both threshold and sub-threshold bipolar disorder."

The Dream House:
-Was your contract with Bobby a unilateral or bilateral contract; if unilateral, at what time did Bobby substantially undertake performance?
The prerequisites for a bilateral contract are that an offer must be made, that offer must be accepted, and consideration must be tendered. In the Dream House scenario, I offered Bobby an opportunity to build my house in exchange for $500,000, and Bobby accepted my offer. Bargaining the performance of construction work in exchange for a predetermined payment amount represents consideration, completing the third and final requirement and making this agreement a bilateral contract.
-What remedies and/or damages are available to you and to Bobby?
I would be able to sue Bobby for damages while seeking the amount needed to compensate Sheila to complete the unfinished job, which amounts to a sum of $350,000. Conversely, Bobby could defend himself by claiming that he must be…

Also, he needs to schedule different, less important events on different days than his more important events. In the day described in his scenario, too many things were slotted into his schedule to cope with over a single day. Then, when additional problems began to emerge, he was unable to cope with them effectively. Sam was evidently so overwhelmed that he did not even realize equally pressing problems that had come up, like the confidential employee files that were exposed.

H planning: defining the organization's strategic plan, conducting an external scan of the environment; conducting an internal assessment of the organization's labor resources; forecasting future workforce demand, forecasting workforce supply, and then developing "programs, policies and practices to align workforce supply and demand" to achieve company objectives (Carroll 2009). Objectives must be realistic in nature, and reflect the most likely future employment scenario. In some instances, several different possible future scenarios may be forecasted, and contingency planning is wise for a variety of potential situations. Potential labor shortages and surpluses must be determined, and then a staffing plan can be developed, creating the optimal balance between core, permanent staff and flexible staff (temporary employees and independent contractors) (Heneman & Judd 2023).

Then the human resources department needs to analyze the availability of external human resources. It needs to look at employment trends to determine how many workers are going to be available and what types of workers are going to be available. By doing these two steps, the firm will have a sense of the gap between what they expect to need and what they expect to have; and then will also have a sense of what is expected to be available in the external marketplace.
The third step is to formulate a strategy. This will encompass a wide range of tasks. The number and types of workers needed must be identified. A time frame will need to be set with respect to when these workers will be needed.

Menu
Planning menus may on the surface seem rudimentary, but upon further inspection, one should realize a thorough and prudent approach is required. Menus are an essential component to any business irrespective of the industry. They are the foundation by which the customer can interpret the value proposition offered by the business. In planning the menu, the owner should focus on two primary concepts: culture and technology. With culture, the franchise can better determine its target market and demographic. This enables the company to formulate a menu to cater specifically to this target market. Technology as it stands today, will impact the menu and subsequent product offerings. Due to its ubiquitous nature, the internet provides the consumer with a litany of options. Thus, when designing the menu, technological advances should be utilized.
The first aspect of the menu design should be that of culture, target markets and demographics. Knowing this information provides…

contingency plan is that it needs to be able to keep people secure and protected. If a crisis does occur, people need to feel as though they are protected, and that all employees, visitors, customers and suppliers are safeguarded and shielded from any harm that could occur. Another element of a contingency plan is that it needs to be able to secure and protect the core elements of the business at large, such as the infrastructure and the critical processes while slowing any disruptions to the business (Fischer et al., 2013). Furthermore, a strong contingency plan will be able to safeguard all information along with information systems, such as those which include or impact supplier connections and client connections (Fischer et al., 2013). A good contingency plan is one which is able to make basic assumptions which are correct to foster a baseline for planning. A good contingency plan…

Human Resource Strategies (internal/cost, External Cost, Internal/Differentiation, External/differentiation)
Strategic Planning
The internal/cost strategy for human resources aims at reducing the cost of certain processes within an organization so that, in an ideal situation, the amount of funding necessary to provide either a service or a product to a customer is significantly decreased. This strategy attempts to make an efficient use of virtually all internal resources, which revolves primarily about the deployment and productivity of employees already existent within a business or company. To that end, there is little need or desire for the hiring of any external personnel, while at the same time, few attempts are made to bring in any additional resources not already contained within the organization. Management focuses on efficient use of current laborers and the various contributions they can make to a company in order to maximize productivity while keeping costs associated with it as low as…

Competency is the feature that all the professors must possess in order to influence their students.

In addition to that, equality of chances must be given to all the students. If a professor discriminates within his scholars, he is liable for the lost interest in the subject of the persons discriminated. esides, the institution must prove its integrity. Consequently, the professors must do their jobs without letting themselves influenced by other suppressing factors.

CPA Profession
The accounting profession has had more than its share of ups and downs in the last two decades. The business environment in this period, led by major technological innovations, has changed drastically and become infinitely complex -- making the job of accountants far more varied. hereas once Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) worked almost exclusively in accounting, auditing or tax preparation, now CPA firms have to handle fields such as financial planning, tax planning, business development, financial management, information systems, risk management, forensic and fraud auditing, among others. In addition, the highly publicized business scandals such as the Enron and the orldCom bankruptcies in 2001, the resulting public focus on the accounting profession, and the enactment of important accounting legislation such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have forced the CPAs to respond to the changes. This paper takes a look at some of the recent changes in the…

An Outline of European Architecture is a standard, general text in the history of Western buildings and is an outstanding example of Pevsner's ability to synthesize the general - the totality of the Western architectural experience - with the specific - an exploration of how specific techniques and materials combine to make each building a unique entity within several larger ordering systems. His work on Modern Design (also in Pioneers of Modern Design) shows his avowed interest for what were then the buildings of the contemporary vanguard. He has been criticized for his once-held view that the generation of ultra-modern architects who thrived during his study - Le Corbusier, the designers at the Bauhaus, etc. - were the logical "end point" to the evolution of architecture...in short that "Modern" architecture was almost the last possible word in building design. The thesis remains fascinating.

When this occurs typically a company will have to scramble to explain why all their commitments about a new product only partially were delivered, if at all.

Planning and Change in Rapid Development
One of the main issues with change management and future planning for long-term care facilities right now is that the changes are taking place so rapidly. If the changes were slower, there would be more of a chance to adapt. Since that is not the case, more has to be addressed regarding how to change quickly. That is something that has not been required of these managers before, so they are in new territory to some extent. While that is not necessarily a bad thing, it does mean that more mistakes could be made because there…

Moreover, they should include full medical coverage in the work contract. Regarding the foreign employees they should expand the annual leave from 42 days to at least 60 days in order for the abroad workers to be able to spend two full months with their families back home.
The management of Sheikh Khalifa Medical City might object to these propositions arguing the increased costs they would involve. However, their objection can be counteracted by the fact that satisfied personnel perform better at their jobs, leading to an increased quality of the services offered by SKMC and therefore to an increased number of patients and increased revenues and profits.
Emphasis on culture
To attract more foreign personnel within SKMC, the management of the clinic…

A critical approach can enhance a naturalistic one also, by showing how race, class, gender, and social power influence self-esteem and motivation to learn.
3.If respected authority from each of the three approaches (classical, naturalistic, or critical) were invited to your agency to evaluate your agency's educational programs, what advice would each give to your agency? How would your agency likely respond to such advice?
A classical theorist would hold a formal seminar during which each participant would be given handouts. Handouts would include lists and outlines of suggested courses of action. A presentation would accompany the lecture, after which seminar participants would be allowed to ask questions in a traditional format. The authority would evaluate my agency's educational programs in terms of quantitative data. Assessment measures would guide further action. Most subjective input would be politely dismissed. The authority would ask program directors to come up with a formal plan…

walked through the empty lot, en route to the walking path beneath the freeway overpass. "Someone ought to do something with this land," I said to my friend. "What a waste! At least the city could buy it and build a skate park, like the mayor keeps promising." My friend nodded in return. Several years ago, I didn't understand how cities sprouted and grew; how their residents maximize local natural resources; and how neighborhoods, streets, and public utility services are mapped out. Like most people, I watched passively as parking lots turned into parks and once-dead districts became magnets for tourism. Then on a trip to New York City I craned my neck in utter amazement at the towering high rises looming over me, anchored on the relatively tiny island of Manhattan. Eight million people breathed, walked, and worked here and although the subways didn't always run on time,…
Impressions of Teaching as a Profession and the eality
The teaching profession is one of the oldest ones and has experienced growth over the years as a result of its dynamic nature of the teacher's role in the education system. Teachers are assuming new dimensions as the ways by which children learn change in addition to changes in the general learning environment. The early impression of the teaching profession is that it was simply involved in imparting knowledge on the students. This was done with very little consideration of the student's academic capability or needs. Over the years, this has been evaluated to be ineffective and it has caused many children to drop out from school as a result of them finding school to be difficult as well as others who feel alienated in school. Other negative effects that have been reported include antisocial behavior as a result of the…

As I began to realize that I was expecting less than they were capable of I realized that some of my preconceived notions about the teaching profession were coloring my viewpoint.
One example was the day a preschool student from the regular education class came to me and handed me a book that she wanted to read to me. I was surprised but let her open the book and begin reading. It reminded me not to assume the level of ability of any student as each student is an individual and develops at individual rates.
In observing the classrooms I found that problems can be dealt with by remaining flexible and keeping an open mind (Safer, 2003).
An example of this philosophy occurred when an autistic preschool student was included in the inclusion setting. "Tommy" did not respond to verbal cues nor was he a verbal child. The teacher made up several index…

HealthCare Profession
Nursing is a strong tradition among the women of my family. I cannot remember a time when I did not have the drive to continue that tradition and enter the healthcare profession. The desire to put the welfare of others before my own was instilled in me as a child, and this combined with my natural drive to dedicate myself entirely to my goals made nursing an obvious career choice for me. Qualified nurses will always have an important role to play in the healthcare field, and in fact it is predicted that the need for these professionals will only increase with time. So not only is nursing an important part of my family tradition, and something about which I feel strongly, but it is also a good growth industry where I know that hard work will make me likely to succeed.
Ultimately, I would like to become a…
