When you take responsibility, you gain power; and it depends on you how you use the power to fulfill the responsibility. It is just the way things work. In my case, I have two jobs— both at the University of Houston-Downtown. I work as a peer mentor for the UHD Peer Mentoring program, and a student worker at the Gator Success Center. Seems like a lot of work for a full-time student, right? It actually is. However, I like working on campus. It gives me some authority to be involved in the university system. Since I work on the success center, I have the access to students’ information. I can search for their class schedules, phone numbers, advising history and much more. Obviously, I need to have their student ID number (900#) to look up …show more content…
I attend a seminar course with them, but they just try to ignore me during the class. On top of that, I am provided with their gatormail address and student ID only. And when I email them about something, they do not reply. To be honest, I do not even think they check their university email. They are freshmen after all. I did not even know that I had to check my gatormail regularly when I was a freshman. So, I do not even blame them. Plus, the student Id number was useless. What would I do with it? On one hand, I was having a hard time reaching my mentees. I would go to the seminar class 10-20 minutes earlier, but none of them would be there. Even when I asked them to stay a few minutes after class, they would just ignore my request, and leave. On the other hand, my supervisors from the mentoring program were asking me to submit my ‘interaction with mentees’ report. Unlike the success center, I was not just supposed to be calling students and leaving voice messages. For my mentees, I am supposed to keep close contact with them, and help them succeed in college. I have to keep a list of all my interactions with them and submit it to the program directors. There was a point where I got really scared that they would fire me. And, oh, when I tried asking my fellow peer mentors if their mentees were talking to them, they told me the stories about their get-together event, and how they
Frigaliment Importing Co. V. B.N.S International Sales Textbook P. 117 Facts Frigaliment Importing and B.N.S Corporation came into agreement that B.N.S will provide chickens for sale to Frigaliment. The contract contained two separate shipments in which each shipment contained different weighted chicken. Frigaliment received the first shipment and noticed that the heavier chickens were older chicken that were meant for stewing not frying. Frigaliment immediately sto24pped the second shipment and sued that they did not provide the right type of chicken in which they were asking for young chickens. B.N.S (the defendant) states that chicken can mean anything as long as they are in the same
When I was younger I had a babysitter who was in high school. I looked up to her so much and wanted to be a big girl like her and go to high school. Little did I know that when I got that old I would want to be that little girl again. With senior year beginning I’ve been getting hounded with college emails and universities calling to invite me to visit. Having to make the decision of where I want to go to college, what I want to study, and how I’m gonna make all that happen while still being in high school and getting treated like a child is a bit overwhelming. I never realized how overwhelming and stressful senior year would be.
An accomplished Alaska high school coach is taking the reins of the Lane Community College cross country program this fall. Those are just figurative reins, of course, unlike the literal reins Bill Steyer has held in the past as a competitive sled dog musher.

The first quarter is always the hardest for me, this one especially as I work a lot after school. Being senior year I was looking to take an easy route, but instead I took hard classes to keep challenging myself; looking back now I should have taken the easy route. The biggest struggle has been finding time to work in homework after work, getting my work in on time, and I’m looking to improve my quality of work for the next quarter.
Let me ask you a question. Have you ever been questioned about your dream career, or what you want to achieve as an adult, or even now. Chances are you have, but, did you ever take the time to really think about that question and finally distinguish that you want to be an Astronaut or a Surgeon or maybe even a Scientist? Well, if you did then there’s almost no doubt that you’ll need to attend college to acquire the certain level of skills you need to become that person that you dream to be. Obtaining a college degree will almost guarantee that more and more opportunities will come knocking on your door because a college degree is a stepping stone to success and companies and businesses are very much aware of that. Success is what people are looking for and a degree verifies that you qualify to achieve great things. Oh, and did I forget to mention that that vast majority of people with a college degree make a lot more money than people with just a High School diploma or being a High School drop out for that matter. However, aside from qualifying for an immeasurable amount of career options, a College education has shown to help with communicating with others, which might not just help with job benefits, but also with relationships on another level.
With the help of the Honors College, I can accomplish many intellectual, personal, and professional goals.

To many high school students, college seems like a far away land, a mysterious place where everyone wants to be yet not many know how to get there. As children, our parents tell us how much time we have to think about college, and that it is too far down the line to think about. The truth is it is never too early to think about your future. I, like many people, put little thought into my future career and now am lost in an unfortunate mix of indecision and anxiety. Not knowing where you want to be in the future is a hard burden to bear. Many of us tend to find out that we only know what we do not want, not what we actually do want. Do we want to be poor? Absolutely not. Do we want a boring job? Of course we don’t. We all want our
As a high school senior, I spent all year searching for a compatible college that fits my requirements. I wanted a college that is affordable, so when I graduate I am not stuck with a massive debt. I wanted a campus that is has friendly people and feels like home. Finally, the college must provide me with the right skills to start my career. With those three standards in mind, I narrowed my choices to one perfect college.
After graduating high school, no one prepares you for college. Most kids when they are finished with high school don’t even fantasize about going back to school. I have always wanted to go to college ever since I was a young kid. I also had dreams of myself going to college, but in my dreams, everything was picture perfect. In reality, college has been very challenging for me. No one tells you about the adjustments and complications that you would have to face to become a successful college student.
Going in to tonight I did not know what to expect. I had already read Mr. Khayat’s book, so I was familiar with his accomplishments. One thing that is underappreciated at the University is the way the culture has evolved from what it used to be. Maybe it is from the lack of knowledge today’s student’s have. From being a primarily white college, to having a very diverse class of students, the University of Mississippi has for sure overcome more mediocrity than any university in the country. If anyone who was unfamiliar with the school’s past, Robert Khayat surly opened their eyes tonight. The one thing that really stood out to me was how Mr. Khayat did so poorly in his Chemistry class that allot of students would
It is important that freshman maintain a high GPA in addition to making friends during their freshman year. For example, Won Tack Shin states, “Studying is important, but having fun and meeting new people is just as important” (Won Tack Shin). This means that people should focus on their grades, but also make their freshman year enjoyable. On a similar topic, John Eman tells freshmen to try hard and study to keep a high GPA so that they can get into a quality college (John Eman). This shows that while it is important to have fun, it is more important to study. Finally, John Stayskal wishes that he had been told how to deal with confrontation before his freshman year (John Stayskal). This suggests that freshman should be comfortable with people
