A Vision for the Communities: Becoming an Urban Planner University of Maryland, University College EDCP 100 October 13, 2013 As children we were asked what we wanted to be when we grew up. I remember giving the rather un-realistic answer of "superstar" at the time. I struggled with finding a path that suited me for awhile; however now that I am older and have a better understanding of the world, I have the answer to what I want to be, and that is an urban planner. According to the American Planning Association (American Planning Association, 2013), "Planning, also called urban planning or city and regional planning, is a dynamic profession that works to improve the welfare of people and their …show more content…
I will have the time throughout my undergraduate career to cultivate this skill, so that I too will be a successful planner. I have also learned the components of setting a goal, which is that it has to be attainable and has to have measurable actions. I have decided to volunteer or have an internship every summer until I graduate. This is something reasonable since there are many opportunities in my community to volunteer, and measurable because I will be able to add the experience to my resume after each experience. Finally, I have set a foundation for time-management, critical thinking and proper communication, skills that will prove priceless to me in my profession and have just learned a lot about how I think and learn. Learning Principles has armed me with the tools that I will need for life while in school, and later once I am into my career. One thing I have had concerns about is whether I am taking the right major for what I want to be. I have always been interested in people and what they do and think, and choosing social science just felt right to me. However, I have have seen very few undergraduate urban planning programs, and I like that the University of Maryland, University College fits in with my working-adult lifestyle, even though they do not offer a specific major for urban planning. The Princeton Review explains how "Urban Planning majors study

Thank you for your email. I do see where you did deposit extra money into your escrow account when you made your February payment. The extra amount you paid was $1,050.00. The full shortage amount for your account is $1,062.13. We can not remove the shortage unless it has been paid in full. Either you can pay the remaining amount of $12.13 before March 1st or you can pay the increased March payment of $2,418.42, which will more than cover the remaining amount that would be due for your shortage. Once you have finished paying off your shortage, you will need to notify us that the shortage has been satisfied so we can remove it from the account. Once your shortage has been paid in full, your new monthly payment will be $2,329.91. If you have
When I first ran the coding, the program was not working. Using the debugger, I found out that the program was not reading the file. By looking into the variables, I noticed that the some data were missing. The following is the list of my correction to fix the coding.
The requests below was created 7/10/2015, we needed to have requests enter 2 weeks in advance before demo. Furthermore, we pull the report mid-day last Friday so we did not see the request below. Lastly, the request need to be fully approve by your AD before we can start fulfilling. We went ahead and gather your 3 slims and 3 colonoscopes because your AD reach out to us last Friday. We will try our best to gather your gastroscopes but our record indicated that we only have 2 of the version 1.6 gastroscope at the moment and it is at a demo. Let us know if you have any additional questions.
Stu, I do not believe that a high substrate (PTFE fabric 7069) will impact the users of our premium “P” tape product, it may even enhance the life span. Airtech would be the only one I would question, but would probably risk a small order first before fulfilling any large quantity order for them, unless we have an Airtech spec in place for this item that would hinder the use of 6this item. Have we compared prior runs of this item sold to Airtech? Just my thoughts. Or release it for Taconic Canada, Can-Do, Nott Company, and Tapes and Technical only.
Rick , your post is very productive. We need also start asking the stakeholders regarding the network side which will feed the database also. Security should be a very important issue since most database deal with PI's and other sensitive information. Also, the kind of encryption the stakeholder will use is important. SSL and IPSEC could be great help to secure payments transactions with cards. I absolutely agree with your concern of the use of excel datasheet old solution which is obsoltete and is counterproductive.

In 2011 there were more people ages 85 and up because nowadays people have been able to live longer.
Matthew is a conscientious, hard-working student. He has been very dedicated this year to learning each topic in the course especially programming. This level of commitment will no doubt give great dividends in the future. He is very good at meeting deadlines, and he always does his work to a high standard. All he needs now to gain endorsement in this subject is complete the externally marked Computer Science report to a high standard.

1. In order for the education system to change and be multiracial there are different sections where you need to work from. Starting from the curriculum structure subjects such as science and math should recognize inventors who created science and math theories. When it comes to english and history; english should allow teachers to pick their authors and subjects that they think their students will be able to enjoy while learning the standards needed for that grade. “…Educators must have knowledge of children’s live outside of school so as to recognize their strengths” (Delpit, 242). As a minority my self having teachers who gave us the options to read books where we could relate to the characters and story lines it was easier for us to actually

Setting goals has allowed has helped me to become a more successful and creative person. I’ve noticed when working on my assignments, I perform better and my grades have improved. Now that I am closer to my goals I am much happier and less stressed. Another thing I learned about goals are that they must be my own in order for them to work for me. Owning my own healthcare agency one day is one of my most important goal. Networking allowed me to get an idea of places I would like to work upon graduation. Some of the nursing homes in the area where I live would be a great place to start because it would give me a sense of direction. Visiting these places will be a critical part of my success. Preparing myself by setting goals and networking have made me a stronger candidate to enter the business
