I have done this with other goals in my life in various endeavors and it has usually worked out very well, so it appears that this is a good idea for me and one that will serve me well in working toward my educational and career goals. Since this is the case, I feel that it would be best for me to plan my educational goals carefully and therefore be fully aware of what I am doing as I move forward in both my education and my career. However, I also have come to realize that not everything can be planned out and determined, and some things just happen and cannot be controlled.

Since this is the case, my educational goals are planned out and are very important to me, but they are not set in stone to the point that they could not be changed or adjusted in any way…...

This can be accomplished through working with large financial institutions to gain experience. At which point, I can apply these concepts to a customized financial planning business that I will be starting in the down the road.
What are your plans to utilize your three areas of concentrations after graduation?

Like what was stated earlier, the areas of concentration will help me to have greater insights about: the markets and the world of investing. The reason why, is because I can be able to deliver a total financial solution to different individuals from various backgrounds. I can take this knowledge and begin using these ideas to work on Wall Street. This will give me the experience that I need to be able to eventually start my own financial planning business. As I will be focused on every single aspect of investing to include: equity securities, fixed income, annuities, insurance, futures, currency,…...

While there have been some complains about these new methods (Moran, 2001) they come mostly from teachers that have practiced one way for years and are not comfortable of changing the way they work (Moran, 2001). Fortunately, as educational entities make training more available to teacher's, this negative opinion of diverse education, where the student and teacher become partner, will dissipate and allow for new discoveries and educational freedoms.
Mumford (1998), Sternberg & Lubart (1995) and Seger (1994) all note students of the modern classroom must learn to "defy the crowd" as Sternberg & Lubart claim, to avoid conformity and instead attract nonconformity in a manner that promotes success and achievement in and out of the classroom. Far too often children are taught that teachers are the sole authority in the classroom (Moran, 2001), and this may cause students to rebel rather than create an environment where students are encouraged…...

Past experience suggests that if well trained business leaders are important during times of economic opportunity, they are only that much more important in times of recent economic crisis.
Because my most natural interests and talents seem to be in business-related concepts, the most useful contribution that I can make as a professional might be playing a small role in helping improve the economic circumstances that account for perpetual poverty and deprivation in my country and other countries. I am confident that with enough dedication, man can solve the major social, economic, and political challenges to peace and prosperity for all instead of for only a relatively small few. Once poverty can be reduced and education improved, economic prosperity often takes on a momentum of its own and allows many to achieve success by developing and dedicating their talents and abilities to something productive.

On the other hand, I believe that if one's commitment to one's educational efforts and career goals derive from a heartfelt desire to help special-needs children overcome their disabilities, it is beneficial if a personal connection to special-needs children provides some of that motivation.
My academic and vocational interests in early childhood development predated the knowledge of my cousin's condition, but my involvement in his life since his diagnosis has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, already. While all childhood ailments and learning disabilities are equally deserving of attention and efforts to help children overcome their challenges, one aspect of autism in particular strikes me very hard. Specifically, my cousin [insert name] is a loving, intelligent child with potential to achieve a productive life. His intelligence is apparent in many ways, which makes his disability especially heartbreaking to me.

Finishing final homework assignments in the wee hours of the night after a full day of school, can be very draining for students and can undermine the entire process of learning. Many students sacrifice valuable sleep they need for their biophysical development, just so they can achieve the mere five points of their total homework grade. For many students who are busy with extracurricular activities, homework can make their day to day existence feel impossible: they get home from school late, and then start their homework even later. For so many teens, their Monday through Friday schedule is already grueling enough, the copious amounts of homework they are expected to complete is simply an unnecessary burden and doesn’t make a meaningful contribution to their overall education. Teachers should be forced to limit the amount of homework they can give to students each night. This amount should ideally be under 45…...

Academic Success
The definition for academic success is broad and complex; nonetheless, its misuse in educational circles is rampant as it is used to denote the achievement of all wanted outcomes. A more wholesome approach to defining academic success covers 6 components: satisfaction, academic achievement, competency and skill acquisition, attainment of the objectives of learning, persistence and success in one's career (Travis T. York, 2015). Efficiently achieving academic success requires setting individual educational goals, implementing a learning style unique to the individual, utilizing all available resources as well as having academic integrity.

Having long-term academic goals, such as obtaining one's Bachelor's Degree in Business and Accounting enhances one's ability to complete short-term academic goals of success.

Generally, research and motivational theory show that goal-setting, if done properly, is an effective way for students to increase their motivation. Students become motivated to achieve excellence in various assessments and so it becomes a goal…...

Fullan, et al.'s approach is to employ "greater specificity without suffering the downside of prescription," (9) meaning that curriculum design must teach people how to do something within the proper context and that all details must be included without the complicating and ineffective method of saying that all children must be taught the same subjects in the same manner ("prescription"). The attending result, then, would be that curriculum would be designed with an inherent awareness of all learning modalities, with the flexibility to be taught to all students in any number of different manners, with ultimate flexibility - in short, massive textbooks would give way to a more interactive multi-branched approach that the teachers would actively control during the classroom much like a boat captain pilots a tricky inner-harbor channel. To allow this, curriculum design would be a collaborative process not only within the schools and districts but between the…...

Nearing the end of the 1960s, the analytic or language philosophy became the central focus point which led to the isolation of the classroom setting and the problems that came with it (Greene, 2000).
Most of the educational philosophers of the time were inclined towards restricting themselves to the official aspects and problems like the sovereignty of the system without any influence from the society and the surrounding environment and the assessment of the calls and school structure conducted for its growth or for the progression of the epistemology that it embodied (Greene, 2000).

All those setups that seemed to be coming across as invasive or seemed to add a personalized bias where it didn't belong were quickly identified and removed. This was one of the reasons that led to the obsession of the possible consequences that could exist due to the practicality of the philosophical theories. Inflexibility was adeptly achieved…...

98). The need for ongoing research to identify optimal solutions in a given setting is also made clear by the reliance on experimental methods to measure options. The efficacy of the scientific method is well established, of course, and it is not surprising that many educators are drawn to this super-philosophy as a way of formulating effective solutions to convoluted problems. For instance, Glickman and his colleagues add that, "The use of trial and error in a laboratory setting is the key to evaluating the outcome of action. Therefore, experimentalists do not view knowledge as absolute or external to human capabilities. ather, knowledge is a result of the interaction between the scientific person and the environment" (p. 97).
Conclusion

The research showed that educational supervisors are faced with a complex set of challenges in their day-to-day work that demands a viable educational super-philosophy. For this purpose, the research also showed that…...

While other children watched cartoons and read picture books, I was consumed by the world of finance and economic development. Spending hours watching documentaries about national competitiveness, in addition to the influence of my father, who worked in the financial world for many years, primed me for a career as a financial analyst. I know that only the University of Michigan is the institution that can prepare me for such a career, as its reputation as a school with excellent business, finance, and economic departments is well-known. As a motivated, goal-oriented individual, I believe I can contribute to the academic discussions on this campus through my prior knowledge, unique background, and willingness to learn.

A native of Korea, I made myself a pledge as a child to become a reputable professional in a respectable field. Choosing to undertake a course of study in financial analysis was no easy task, but an examination of my talents and abilities convinced me that it was the best choice for me. As the field of economic analysis requires professionals to have a vast understanding of economics, mathematics, and international relations, my experience in business and economics will aid me in completing my goal to become a financial analyst. In my personal studies, I have proven my ability to solve difficult math problems, as well as understand economic trends and international and domestic economic reports. In 2006, I entered the United States in order to study business at community college.

Educational Mission
The UNC Health Care System runs a teaching hospital that publishes its mission statement, statement of core values, and nursing philosophy on the organization's Web site at < http://www.unchealthcare.org/site/Nursing/nurseleadership/visionvalues >. The mission is stated briefly as: "to be a leader in providing compassionate, quality care focusing on the unique needs of patients and their families." Key words in the mission statement include "compassionate," "quality care" and "unique needs." The core values of the UNC Health Care System's nurses include five main elements. Those elements include "My patient," "My team," "My Hospital," "My Community," and "My Profession." Phrasing these five main values in terms of "my" helps the nurse to feel like an integral part of the organization.

Furthermore, the nursing philosophy of the UNC Health Care System is outlined as being a reflection of the vision and values of the organization as a whole. The main principles of the nursing…...

Many of these activities commonly focus on happy and positive feelings and thoughts, at the expense of allowing an examination of more painful issues. This is especially problematic for disenfranchised and failing students, who, through this type of structure, receive direct and indirect messages from the group structure to not deal with the depths of their pain, anger, frustration, sadness, hurt, anxiety, or fear."

The need for a culturally diverse approach must not be lost, either in the approach of education of counselors and educators, despite the need to build teams and effective groups. Controversially, Bemak entertains the suggestion that an ethnic and gender match between students and guidance counselors might be a needed additional support for students from at-risk groups, although he finally rejects the idea as impractical.

Chapter 3 stresses the importance both fundamentally and ethically of representing information truthfully and honestly through visual and experiential means that are meaningful to the learner and respect the fact that the individual mind is rather limited and therefore needs human centered externals to help it learn and retain information. Chapter 4 stresses the importance of individuality in the development of technologies that teach and interact with people. The overall work is important as it stresses the fact that technologies, as a creation of man must be developed and manipulated to reflect the humanity of their purpose. The fallibility of the mind is stressed as is its limitations and the possibility of the development of greater tools to impart knowledge is the most important factor in the development of learning tools.

Wittrock present a functional model of learning that pays close attention to four processes of learning; attention, motivation, knowledge or preconceptions and generation. The author's point-of-view is clearly one of biological i.e. neurological brain function and develops a schema in which knowledge or learning takes place, as interactive and fluid in the mind. Understanding each of these four aspects can give the educational developer an idea of the need to bring learners all the way in to a learning environment through attention, motivation and base knowledge to elicit generative principles of cognition, i.e. The assimilation of novel material, that will add to their base knowledge of understanding. Wittrock's model in fact stresses that in creation of interactive or even static instruction if one key aspect is lacking, the whole of the system is resistant to learning. This is important in that it makes clear that development of technologies that instruct must produce attention and elicit motivation as well as build from some existing knowledge base to be effective for any user to generate a set of new knowledge. Even the most simple instructions often build on a set of base knowledge, that is frequently taken for granted and many instructional environments lack the sort of stimulation that garners attention and motivates the learner.
