In large meetings held with Regional Administrators and lead Management, Devereux allows for a loss with many programs knowing that it will not make a profit and in fact takes a loss in profit, yet the program is essential and needed for the community. By recognizing this, Devereux then pulls from other programs that are more financially solvent and makes it a priority to stay aware of the growths in that program, challenging it at all times to reach higher productivity goals. Devereux recognizes that the need to focus on the “how’s” is critical and on going which is why they hold so many management level meetings pulling management from all over the state to come together and share ideas and process through what is and is not working in each region. Having this allows for documentation and tracking of success and also allows for preparation in each region when a new obstacle arises. Devereux not only looks at how to better help the children and families in need, but how to provide more to them, how to have more resources, how to obtain higher level of training, how to stay ahead of competitive agencies who are also providing services. They look to see how to distinguish a problem when it occurs in a quick time frame as not to allow for residual…

From there, I hope to study to be accepted into medical school and specialize in pediatrics. When preparing for medical school, the advice one hears are to become a well-rounded student. Through my DECA experiences I have been able to develop leadership skills that will help me thrive in my future. Over the three years I have been involved, I have stepped out my comfort zone and made a difference in my local DECA chapter, community, and my future. Now taking the responsibility of being a DECA officer, as the chapter president, has allowed me to continue to grow and develop my leadership, communication, and social skills. Working with the Milan DECA Chapter members has proven how difficult and enjoyable being a leader is. At times leading so many events can be stressful; however, the completion of the events pushes me further. In order to reach the goal of becoming ‘well-rounded’, I used DECA skills to organize my time to join other extracurriculars within my community. Along with DECA, I participate in 4-H which is a non-profit organization in counties all across the nation that prepares youth to make a positive impact on their communities. Furthermore, I lead my 4-H club in a Relay For Life team through the American Cancer Society. Additionally, I am a dedicated musician, drum major, and the first Milan High School Flute Choir Director. I am an active participant in the peer education program at Milan High School. I am so thankful for the opportunities to be a leader within my class, school, community, county, and…

My first discovery of the human services field came when I volunteered at a community center for teenagers. These kids were mostly at-risk students in Howell, and they quickly noticed that I stood out from the volunteers who only stuck around to fulfill community service requirements.

In order for El Dorado Star to make the maximum profit they should print and sell 4,000 papers daily. This is when they will make the most profit. So, to determine the point in which profit maximization happens, therefore, the manager of the El Dorado Star should increase production when marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost. Furthermore, the manager of El Dorado should lessen production when marginal revenue is less than marginal cost and thus this will determine when profit maximization occurs (Thomas & Maurice, 2010). So, if we change from 4,000 newspapers to 5,000 newspapers the profit will decrease.…
