I am interested in attending Notre Dame Academy for various reasons. One of the reasons I would like to go to NDA is because it has excellent academics and athletics that I believe I could benefit from being a part of.

Playing CBAA basketball has taught me these values and has played a large role in shaping me into the humble and compassionate person that I am today.…
On January 24th 2013 I had the opportunity to conduct an interview with Steven Harrast. The interview took place in his office at the Business Administration Building of Central Michigan University, which is in Grawn Hall. The main focus of the interview was to gain a better understanding of the accounting field. I had chosen Harrast for his input on the accounting field because of the multiple credentials he has. Harrast graduated with an accounting degree from Brigham Young University, in Utah. Brigham Young accounting program is ranked in the top three among university accounting program nation wide. Afterwards, Harrast received a PhD at the University of Memphis. Not limited to his education, Harrast has also published many journals, articles, teaching material supplements, and conference proceedings all in which are associated with accounting. Currently, Harrast is still very active in the accounting field due to the fact that he is a professor teaching accounting at the 300 level. I believe Harrast was a good candidate for this interview because of his extensive background in the accounting field and I trust he will be able to share an ample amount of useful information in the accounting field. Harrast was also a former professor of mine, where I was lucky enough to witness first hand his intelligence in the subject of accounting. From Harrasts interview, information on the field of accounting will help students gain insight in career path choices, educational preparations…

The key to a student’s success is the quality of their classroom teacher. I believe that in spite of any external obstacles (chaotic/troublesome home life, administrative incompetence, access to services, etc.) a quality teacher can positively impact a student’s life more profoundly than almost any other influence. I believe that Teach for America (TFA) cultivates, develops, and supports the type of teachers who can have this kind of impact. I seek to join TFA for this very reason; I want to positively impact students by providing a high quality experience in the classroom.…
