Leadership is an ability to impact a group of employees towards the accomplishment of goals. A leader is the one who leads a group of employees on a particular project or work. One of the major works of a leader is to control the group of employees by assigning a certain task, providing deadlines and encouraging to complete the task assigned. The leader plays a key role in the achievement of the task, he will be completely responsible for an entire task. He should always make the right decision like assigning the job to the right person, providing enough deadlines, motivating with positive vibes and praising. In my point of view, a good leader should always encourage all employees irrespective of the position or work of an employee and also control the employees at the right time. A good leader must always focus on improving the quality and productivity of the work through his decision. In my past experience as an Intern, where I worked on the ASIC verification project which was led by the team manager. He was one who is looking after all the levels of the project. The manager always motivated the employees and even at hard times, he maintained a good environment in the workplace. I really adored working under him. All the employees under him were very happy and satisfied with his leading abilities. As I wish to establish my own company, I really like to adopt all the above qualities and train my leaders to be the best leaders in my company.

Organizational culture refers to the personality or the traits of an organization. It emphasizes the values, beliefs, and customs of the employees of the organization. This culture helps to differentiate from other organizations. Culture also provides guidelines regarding training and development of the employees. It states the kind of knowledge and abilities required by the employees to give better performance in the organization. Always organization culture should be well structured and committed to the values. In my opinion, organizational culture refers to the common values and beliefs that prevail in an organization and enable employees to understand their roles and customs of an organization. Back in my undergrad, I worked as an Intern for one of the semiconductor company in India, it has a very strong organizational culture. The working environment was so enjoyable. The company had transparency between the employees. The company encouraged all type cultural activities which made the company more diversified. The organization always maintained the unity. These eventually led the company to have more people with different religion, gender, cultural backgrounds, and personalities. I believe, to maintain a successful organizational culture the key element will be employee involvement. I like to consider all the above aspects into my company to build a perfect organizational culture.

Job satisfaction may be defined as the feeling or attitude that an employee has about the job that he/she is performing. Many research studies have clearly established a strong correlation between an employee’s job performance and the satisfaction that he derives from doing the job. These studies show that a satisfied employee has a better attitude towards his job and his productivity is significantly higher as compared to other less-satisfied employees. Nowadays, job positions available are very less compared to a number of people qualified. It has become very hard for people to find a job they are interested in. So, employees are forced to work in the job they are not interested. This led to the poor output of a work from a dissatisfied employee which eventually lead to the destruction of an organization. In my opinion, a satisfied employee generally bears a positive outlook towards the job and the company. Employees will be more proactive, display higher levels of motivation and initiative to take on more responsibilities and have a better relationship with fellow employees, superiors and subordinates. They will constantly search for new ways to do his job better and also eager to help others to do their work better as well. In my company, I like to consider all the above qualities and to encourage and motivate employees in their respective jobs to establish job satisfying environment in an organization.

A Team is formed by two or more people, where they interact, work deliberately to reach a common set of assignments. In a team, everyone will contribute in his or her own way to achieve a set of goals. The team will be led by the team leader and he has the power to make the decisions with respect to the team. The team leader will set the project or work for a team and take care of every employee. Team members are mutually dependent and are sensitive to the needs of the other members of the team. This group of teams is necessary for the functioning of the organization. Coordination between team members is the key to lead a successful organization. So, employees within a team must have a good relationship like coordinating or mutually involving in the exchange and developing of thoughts or ideas to achieve a task. In my opinion, managers or team leaders play a major role in handling team members’ relationships. The team leader must always provide a good atmosphere within the team which in turn creates a positive relationship between employees. In a diversified team, the team leader should always give prominence to each and every employee. For establishing a good relationship between team members, the team leader must set interactive session within a team where the employee will have chance to communicate and understand team members.

Stress is one the important aspect which decides the involvement of employees towards to works. Whenever an employee is allotted with huge work and shorter deadline creates stress. This led to poor performance and mental stress on an employee. Stress management assists in overcoming stress and increases the levels of motivation and efficiency of the employees. It involves recognition and examination of problems related to stress. The main objective of stress management is to motivate the individual to give his/her best performance in a favorable environment. To avoid a heavy workload stress, an organization should distribute a work evenly between all employees and handle the short-term goals or projects effectively. An organization should initiate different stress management programs like providing multiple leisure breaks between the work, conducting outings where employees can feel relaxed, organizing some yoga sessions to keep body and mind relaxed, and also by providing sufficient time to complete the assigned task. Whenever an employee feels stressed out, the company should organize one on one session to discuss the key issue of an employee and try to solve the issue in a better and faster way. In my opinion, stress is inevitable in the life of an individual. Human beings are unable to remain stress-free, but we must find better ways to handle it. I believe above discussed solutions would at least try to overcome stress which is created in an organization.

In an organization, decisions are made by individuals selecting from among two or more alternatives. In an organization goals, finance operations and what service or product to be offered are determined by top managers. Whereas setting a schedule for projects, selecting employees and allocating pay scales are done by middle-level managers. Certain decisions made by middle-level managers are creating problems within an organization like provide a short-term deadline, allocating more projects to a certain group and assigning different projects to employees who are not specialized in that particular field. These things are creating an adverse effect on employees and the organization. I believe all employees in an organization should have equal opportunity to share their views. This creates new ideas or approaches to achieve the goal of the project and also creates openness within the organization so that employees will have a positive feeling towards the work. Conducting online surveys or sessions within an organization are better ways to reach out every employee and get their point of view or feedback on decisions.

In a modern world, change is inevitable. We need to adopt these changes and update ourselves every day to make our life easier. The same is the case with business entities or organizations. An organization should always follow the market trend and make changes within the organization. Planned changes usually have a positive impact and it is goal-oriented and intentional. But unplanned and sudden changes in an organization will have a negative impact and stressful to handle it. Someone likes to have order, balance, predictability, uniformity and certain equilibrium in his life find very hard to adopt changes suddenly or more frequently. So, we have to follow a certain set to procedures or rules while adopting changes like taking suggestion or feedback from the employees about change or implementing changes in small group and examining it.

Communication is one of the most important elements of an organization. It is a process of transferring and understanding of message between a source and a receiver. In an organization, one should always interact with other employees to build a healthy work relationship and to exchange their thoughts or ideas. An organization should have a balance between both upward and downward communication to run successfully. Downward communication flows from the upper level to the lower level of an organization. Where managers or team leaders assign a set of goals, provide instructions to follow up on and try to obtain feedback. Upward communication flows from the lower level to the upper level, where employees provide feedback to the manager or team leader, inform about the progress of the work assigned. This communication between the upper level and lower level group must be balanced. Where every employee within an organization should have an openness to reach out to communicate with one another and establish a healthy working environment. In an organization I wish to establish, I like to implement a better-communicating platform through many programs and ideas like above to everyone within my organization.

I believe that for a successful organization one should incorporate all the above ideas. I am extremely happy about taking the Engineering Organizational Development course, as it helped me to gain more knowledge, how to be a good employee and how to run an organization successfully.

I like to implement all these ideas in the startup company I wish to establish and run it successfully.

The career I will be discussing in this paper is a Human Resource Manager. Human resource managers are professionals who “plan, direct, and coordinate the administrative functions of an organization.” (“Bureau of Labor Statistics” U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, Human Resources Managers). Human resource managers are crucial to have in business/companies; they are responsible for hiring new people and planning important organizational circumstances. There are several, specific skills that a person must have to become a human resource manager.

They include: communication, decision making, organization, ethical, and many more minor skills that are vital. According to a site I found, the key qualities of an HR manager are organization, ethics, communication, expertise, problem solving, and leadership. Having these qualities to become an HR manager would increase your chances of becoming one. To be an HR manager officially, you are required to have work experience related to HR. Moreover, “a bachelor’s degree is sufficient for most positions” (“Bureau of Labor Statistics”).

In 2017, the calculated median pay of HR management was around $110,00+ per year and $52.90+ per hour. HR managers are estimated to work about 40 hours per week. According to a site I found, the calculated amount of HR employment in Indiana is about 2,200. The annual wage in Indiana was calculated as $102,650 and the hourly wage was calculated as $49.35. To be more exact, in Northern Indiana, the amount of employment is 130 with an estimated annual mean wage of $95,730. All of the numbers provided were calculated in 2017 by a site I will have cited in my works cited page. According to a site I already spoke about, “employment of human resources managers is projected to grow 9 percent from 2016 to 2026.” (“Bureau of Labor Statistics”)

As soon as I started high school, I discovered my interest in business. During my middle school years, I always wondered about what I would be doing in the future, and I was aware that high school was a big step. I learned that it was an important step in my life that required me to push myself to do my best; there was no time to mess around. My freshman year consisted of me researching and trying to discover what I want to do, and I mainly took classes that were required.

Then this year, I’m also taking classes that give me an insight of the business world. Doing this internship is important to me because it helps me gain knowledge about what I want to pursue in the future. To pursue this career, it’s been a goal of mine to attend Goshen College. To work my way up, my mom even suggested I work part-time for HR, which is important to becoming an HR manager.

There is a good variety of things I can learn by pursuing this. I enjoy helping other people and aiding anyone in whatever they need. Being in this career path could help me continue helping others and even improve how I help others. One thing that I could definitely improve as I pursue this career is my communication skills. It’s easy to say that I could be good at communicating, but it could definitely be improved. When it comes to leadership skills, that’s a skill that I could learn to improve.

For instance, being the oldest sibling isn’t necessarily as helpful in gaining a leadership skill. It is, but maybe not considered a skill as much in the business field. So, with that being said, developing leadership skills is vital to becoming an HR manager. A good skill I have is how I treat people. To be an HR manager, you are responsible for many people in a company, and not only that, you need to have good ears for those who come to you.

My heart started beating faster, my hands began to sweat, and my anxiety grew exponentially as I stared at the clock waiting for the UCLA admission decisions to be released.

Once the decisions were released, my mom started praying for saints to intercede while I entered my account information. After a few minutes of crying and laughing simultaneously, thinking that I got rejected, my mom finally convinced me to click the login button.

The word “congratulations” popped up, and within seconds, my mom jumped with joy and gave me the longest hug I have ever received. Out of disbelief, I went back and continued to read the rest of the letter. I was speechless: my dreams were coming true.

My father planned our immigration in secret, and I promised not to tell my grandparents. However, I was ripped apart. I wholeheartedly believed I was ruining my chances of ever being successful again. Overtime, I learned that I was wrong. Leaving Cairo to come to the United States was one of the best things that happened in my life. I could not have been admitted to UCLA had it not been for the challenges I faced by moving across the world, the people I met in the United States, the strong foundation I had as a student, and, most importantly, the academic and financial resources I was offered in my middle and high school in America.

Ever since I was a young girl in Egypt, my parents and relatives asked me what I aspired to be when I grew up. They indirectly emphasized the importance of getting higher education daily. Teachers at my private French school, College De La Mere De Dieu, always had me write journals about my future career. They taught me at a young age that hard work is crucial regardless how intelligent one is, and that going above and beyond is a requirement, not an option. They also showed me that failure was a shame to be atoned for.
Topic: career-goals

My peers and I were expected to attend college at the very least. In my culture, higher education is perceived as the only way to success, and success is the second most important priority after religion. Though inflexible, this mindset taught me to bury my nose in my books and never give up on my future. When I left Egypt and came to the United States, these values helped me cope and adapt faster. 48 hours after I was told we were immigrating, I found myself in a new world. Two weeks later, I was no longer part of the small French private school. Instead, I was now a student at an English public middle school in Burbank, California. I was no longer living at my grandfather’s 14-bedroom villa, but rather crammed with the rest of my family in a one bedroom apartment. I was sad, lonely and hurt. I hated myself for not speaking up and not telling my parents I wanted to stay in Egypt.

I could not help but wonder what would have happened if I had told my grandparents. I was in excruciating emotional pain, but my values made me determined not to let the circumstances break me. I decided to overcome bravely any hardship I had to face, whether it was social, economic, or intellectual. The minute I registered for school, I decided to speak up for myself, seek resources, and take control of my life, three lessons that are central to who I am today and why I am now at UCLA. When I joined John Muir Middle School, I was happy to learn about all the English courses they offered, as well as the informative high school and college workshops they held. Upon registration, I had to take multiple tests to assess my Math, Science and English levels. I remember the staff being impressed by my math and science skills; however, when it came to English, it was clear that I was not nearly as prepared.

My primary education has always been in French and Arabic, but I was able to catch up to my peers after completing three English language development classes over the course of a year and a half. Although disappointed that I was behind, I am now grateful that my middle school had such courses set aside for newcomers. If I had been placed in a regular English class at that moment, I would not have had any idea what the instructors were teaching. There was not only a language barrier, but also a cultural one that I had to overcome. I was shocked, not only because my peers could not understand my world and teased me about it, but also because I could not understand theirs. Everyone looked, dressed, and behaved differently than at my old school, but I was reassured by how caring, respectful, and understanding my teachers always were. In addition to having the necessary classes at John Muir, I was very fortunate to meet Ms. Kaye, an academic counselor that changed my life and helped me identify UCLA as my dream school.

When I got the form to pick my eighth grade elective class, I went to her office to learn more about what kind of elective I needed to satisfy. She ended up asking me about my story and my goals in life. And then, she started talking passionately about her college experience. Near the end of our conference, she invited me to check with her periodically and visit her for any questions, even if they were not school related. In addition to making me feel welcomed, she made sure to introduce me to Marina, another Egyptian student, who ended up becoming my best friend. Marina was thrilled to finally have another Egyptian girl with her in the school and so was I. She told me about the days where she would have spent lunch crying alone, and I was glad I was there for her and that I did not have to go through that myself. Ms. Kaye frequently checked on the both of us and always expressed how much she believed that we would both “achieve great things.” Her encouragement combined with Marina’s friendship at this transitional phase made me adapt to school faster, inspired me to keep working thirty times harder than others and helped me vividly envision myself attending UCLA one day.

By the time I got to Burbank High School, I had already learned through numerous workshops about all the courses and extracurricular activities offered. I had two goals in mind: to graduate in the top one percent of my class, and to get accepted to my dream school. Upon hearing my targets, my parents cautioned me not to be too ambitious, but I was determined. I was told that to make it to a good college, I had to have a high GPA and hold leadership positions. Thus as a freshman, I joined various clubs and volunteered in various locations, including the local hospital and the Boys and Girls Club. Although some of the clubs were enjoyable, the majority were chaotic and pointless. Nonetheless, I felt an obligation to keep going back to earn positions to build a stronger application. It was not until junior year that I took matters into my own hands and founded Psychology Club: an organization that I am really passionate about. Overall, I held over five leadership positions, some of which felt like a complete waste of time and effort.

Yet, I was too scared to jump ship and risk looking like a quitter on my application; therefore, I kept attending to the same mundane and pointless meetings. Extracurricular activities play a significant role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but I fail to see why they should affect the admission process. From a young age, I was taught not to flaunt any service I offer, but rather do it in humility and secrecy. However, when it came to college applications, I found myself doing the exact opposite and felt quite ashamed of having to sell how good of a person I am. In terms of my GPA, I took huge personal risks and full advantage of what my school had to offer. When I told my parents about my plan to take numerous AP classes, they hesitated and replied that it is better to be safe than sorry. When I told my peers that I was aiming for valedictorian or saledoctrian during my freshman year, I got a pity smile back. People’s reactions bothered me, but they also inspired me to work harder in order to prove them wrong. By my sophomore year, I was enrolled in two AP courses and an honor class. In both my junior and senior year, I was enrolled in five AP courses each and also studying for one independently.
Topic: career-goals

Overall, I took 12 AP courses and earned As in all of them. By the time I graduated, I had the second highest GPA in the school and had been accepted to UCLA. I was only able to do well because my teachers were caring and experienced. They took the time to help their students in class, tutor over lunch, and hold extra review sessions before finals. They regularly guided their students and gave them online websites on which they could practice more to master the material. Meeting Ms. Bogramian, the academic counselor in the career center at Burbank High School, was yet another major blessing. She informed of ways I could afford to pay for tests and college applications as each came up.
Topic: career-goals

Throughout my high school career, my parents, even though both college graduates, only had minimum wage jobs. Even though they wanted, they could not afford to pay 90$ for each of the 13 AP tests that I took. Fortunately, Ms. Bogramian guided through the fee waiver process, and I was able to get a significantly reduced price: 5$ per test. I am extremely grateful that I was able to take all my advanced placement tests that corresponded with my courses and get college credit for them. Over time, I developed a unique Mentor-Mentee relationship with Ms. Bogramian. I frequently went to her for support and advice for anything from family problems to schedule arrangements to college consultation. She later made sure to not only inform me about the SATs’ fee waivers, but also grant me the only scholarship she had for an entirely free SAT course. Having the opportunity to take all these assessments and earn good scores was essential to having a strong application. These scores helped me show universities how intellectually capable I was compared to other applicants. These results combined with my 4.6 cumulative GPA and the numerous leadership positions allowed me to have a competitive application.

No matter how much I tried to prepare in advance, I was still lost during the application process. No one in my family has ever attended university in the United States, and thus the process was quite challenging. Filling out the FAFSA, the scholarship forms, the Common App, the UC and the Cal State applications was hectic. I was overwhelmed by all the information I had to keep track of and the deadlines that I had to meet. I know applying to thirty universities was excessive, but I wasn’t letting any chance of not getting accepted into college stand in my way. In hindsight, it is obvious that I stressed too much, but that moment my dream seemed too valuable to let go of. When it came to writing my essays, I was terrified. I knew my English skills were not as strong as others. Therefore, I made sure my vulnerability and creativity compensated for that. I spent long nights staring at my laptop, not knowing where to begin.
Topic: career-goals

Many had advised me not to write the generic immigration essay, but I knew my story was unique. Not including it in my application would be hiding a significant part of who I am and I refused to do so. For my other essays, I chose to talk about having to wear a plastic brace for my scoliosis and having to deal with anxiety issues. These essays were by far the most vulnerable pieces I have written. Against other advice I received, I did not try to make myself look like a flawless angel or a person who has miraculously transformed from facing a hardship. Instead, I was candid enough to admit that I changed over time and looked forward to continuing to improve. My essays were special because I disregarded what people said admission officers wanted to hear. In addition, I was also lucky enough to have two kind English teachers willing to read my drafts and give me feedback. I was blessed to have a school that had excellent financial and educational resources, a strong support system, and a team of knowledgeable counselors willing to guide me in my journey to college.

and its impact on underprivileged students. In “Three Miles”, Joffe-Walt, one of the producers, took the lead as the host interviewing teachers and students to discuss the impact of an “exchange program” between a poor public school and a rich private institution. However, the most shocking aspect of the episode was not the effect of the exchange program nor the reaction of any particular student, but rather the huge difference between the two schools’ both academic and non-academic resources. Joffe-Walt described the first school, Fieldston, as “an 18-acre campus on a hill… [that has] a dance studio, an art gallery, and a pool.” In contrast, an interviewed alumnus of University Heights High School, Ashleigh Wallace, called her high school “a shitty-ass school” (Joffe-Walt).
Topic: career-goals

Although these descriptions may seem extreme, they are unfortunately not. University Heights is truly an ill-equipped school. It does not have any AP courses, a library or even a cafeteria. It is incapable of giving its students the education they deserve, and has consequently repeatedly failed to prepare many of them for college. On the other hand, Fieldston has been known to go above and beyond the expected to increase its students’ chances of not only getting admitted to prestigious universities, but also succeeding once they get there. As a result, it has had a long-standing reputation of producing many renowned politicians, journalists, and designers who have major impacts on their communities (Joffe Walt). The extent and the effects of inequality in the current education system were not only explored in “Three Miles”, but also analyzed in “The Problem We All Live With.” In Episode 562, Glass interviewed New York investigative reporter, Nikole Hannah-Jones, to discuss the corruption in America’s system of education. Hannah-Jones pointed out that there is a strong correlation between institutions’ demographics and their quality of education.

Through her investigation, she observed that “the bad schools were mostly black and Latino. [While,] the good schools were mostly white” (Glass). In other words, she discovered that underprivileged students, who needed the most help, were getting the least. Meanwhile, privileged students, who encountered a significantly fewer number of challenges, were given significantly better instructions. Glass vigorously defended Hannah-Jones’ claims by stating, “The US Department of Education put out data last year showing that black and Latino kids in segregated schools have the least qualified teachers… the worst course offerings, the least access to AP and upper level courses, [and over all] the worst facilities.” Given this atrocious quality of education, it is not puzzling that many students of color fail to make it to college.

In addition to their school’s lack of preparation, many of them tend to come from low-income families that do not have any college graduates. They start at a disadvantage and fall further behind the second they start attending an ill-prepared school. Advocating for a fair system of education is ideal, but not practical. However, calling for an adequate system is very realistic. Not every school has to have an enormous campus, a new football field, numerous well-funded sports teams or even fancy technological learning tools.

However, each single school has to have the academic and financial tools to support its students and prepare them for higher education. They all need to offer a wide variety of challenging courses, have well-prepared curriculums, and hire only caring instructors. College De La Mere De Dieu does not have many, if any, extracurricular activities, yet all of its students that graduated last year went on to pursue higher education. It does not have projectors, clubs, or rallies, but it does have clean classrooms, prepared teachers, and knowledgeable counselors. This institution focuses solely on the core function of a school and does not distract itself by adding any other variables. All their efforts are targeted toward improving education in the classroom. They leave leisure time and extracurricular activities for their students to practice on their own.

With a limited budget, all ill-funded schools should follow College De La Mere De Dieu’s footsteps. They need to cut the majority, if not all, their leisure funding and spend that money on quality education to ensure that more than a mere one-fifth of their needy students are prepared to survive college (Glass). Although students may be frustrated at the moment by their schools’ lack of “fun activities”, many of them will understand, upon their college graduation, the huge favor their schools have done for them. At the same time, we, as members of society, should lend a helping hand to underprivileged students. We should mentor them throughout their middle school and high school careers to ensure their success. One of the main factors that helped me succeed was having Ms. Kaye and Ms. Bogramian show the way and believe in me.

At a time when even my parents had silently given up on my education, these two magnificent ladies came into life and continuously reminded me that I can and that I will achieve my goals. Every student deserves to have that support system to counteract all the negative criticism he/she hears. Fortunately, many mentors can easily offer that support. In addition to directly helping the students, members of society also need to unite and demand for better funding of poor districts and stricter supervision. By attending well-funded schools, I was able to catch up to my peers in less than a year and excel beyond many’s expectations. Many bright students are forced to go to unprepared schools, and if given the chance of a good education, they could potentially excel and achieve great things. There is a possibility that some of these students have the capabilities, if nurtured properly, to come up with cures for diseases or invent the next pieces of revolutionary technology. By advocating for a better education system, society would be giving those inventors and their ideas a chance to reach their full potential Preparing for and applying to college is a stressful process. However, with the right guidance and the proper education, many can increase their odds of getting admitted. Even with all the challenges I had to face, I was still able to get accepted into my dream school.

Having exceptional counselors, trained teachers, and excellent academic and financial tools helped me overcome my hardships and achieve my goals. All students deserve to have a similar fighting chance for a brighter future. They do not need to have luxurious campuses nor division one sports teams, but they do need a genuinely caring administrative team and effective curriculums. However, until such systems are reinforced, it is up to each member of society to lend a helping hand and transform the unjust system of education, by mentoring one student at a time.

In this case, being a paralegal would have been very interesting, because I would have to be careful as to who I agree to work with. Being in the legal field can be very difficult as well, because a lot of people who are looking for lawyers have very valid cases. This would convince me to hire them, because they make it seem as though I can help them win this case. If I were to be in this situation, I would have hired any of the guys thinking it would be an easy case to win, however I would then have many regrets as I did further research in finding out that multiple guys have admitted to committing murder, however none of them were accused of actually committing.

She can continue taking classes which would further her education in the legal field. This would include classes such as specific business classes, and different classes about debating strategies, and learning about specific types of cases and how to win them. She could also continue classes about research, which would help her win cases more frequently. This criminal justice class has been very fascinating to see the different sides of crime. We have looked at what its like to be in the eyes of a delinquent, a criminal on death row, heroin addicts, lawyers, judges, attorneys, a juror, a police officer, prison guards. With being able to see all of the perspectives in the criminal justice field, I have found the legal view point to be the most intriguing. When I continue onto college, taking the different coursed that Jenn Devan took, seems very fascinating to me.

I am most fascinated with how these Computer technologies, applications and devices have aided human civilization and individual human lives. During engineering studies up to now, I have not been choosy in selection of areas of explore because the aim was to build a wide base and make informed choices. First significant project came in the 5th semester which named “Final Pro Shooter” was based on 3D gaming. I used Unity 3D engine and the languages such as c# and JavaScript to develop entire game. Done in a team of two, the value of open source software and frameworks, need to tweak and modify to suit objective and differences between thinking and doing I ingrained through this project. Another project of mine titled “Image-Based Visual Servoing” was based on algorithms from Computer Vision, in which an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System was trained using inverse mapping of data provided by forward kinematics. For this purpose, the case of imaginary 2 degree of freedom (DOF) planar robot was considered, for which computer simulation was performed. I have through attending other workshops added to my learning beyond the classroom, these has been in Radipminer – a data mining tool in the 6th, Challenges, Technologies and Need of Cloud Simulator Tools in Cloud Computing in the 7th semesters. Moreover, using an Arduino, infrared sensor, and remote I made a working model to control LEDs in 7th semester. The undergraduate coursework along with relevant projects has laid a solid foundation and cemented my interest in the field of Computer Science.

Lifelong learning refers to the voluntary decision to enroll in educational courses or to study a topic on one’s free will. I tend to keep myself motivated by the desire for more knowledge and self-improvement. It enhances my understanding of the world around me, provides me with more and better opportunities and improves my quality of life. The two main reasons for learning throughout life are for personal and professional development. Being a lifelong learner provides opportunities to enhance or expand my skills and increased my confidence level. Because of my job as a tutor, my confidence level increased because I would have to introduce myself on the first day of classes, communicate with the professor and students effectively, and plan workshops for the students.

My future professional goal is to become a college Child Development professor. I want to become a college professor because it encourages me in a life of learning by going to workshops, seminars, and taking courses. Nurturing behavior regarding teaching is defined in both negative and positive when addressing the effectiveness of the professor and his or her impact and influence on the student’s learning. Helping a student become a better and more involved learner is an important issue when talking about nurturing because it exists as one of the ultimate goals of this of encouraging and supportive professor. This professor wants their students as engaged as possible with the material. This is what I do at my job, is plan workshops on the material the professor lectures on every week for the students, being supportive to the students by helping them with the projects or assignments they have. When I am in class, I help the professor with anything they need help, for example, passing out handouts, organizing the student’s work, (putting them in alphabetical order) and walking around during discussion times. I do my best to be helpful for both the professor and for the students.

I am applying to Pacific Oaks master’s program in Early Childhood because I believe that diversity, inclusion, and equality is important in education. Diversity, inclusion, and equality are important because each of them will help me better appreciate and understand each individual and their culture. Also, I will be able to develop cultural competency, which means to teach students who come from different cultures other than their own. Cultural competency is having an awareness of one’s culture while appreciating other cultures. It is essential to know that each culture is unique in its own ways. Inclusion means for all the students to included, and not to left out. Also, it means to identify each individual’s strengths and talents while the students are working with other students. Diversity is important in a classroom because the professor and students are exposed to different viewpoints and perspectives on certain topics. Therefore, the students and professor become more knowledgeable and open-minded about different cultures. Equality means for everyone to be treated the same, which promotes fairness.
