    In the video, Corporate Finance Video: Stable Money Makers, Peggy Parks has taken a chance on raising and breeding alpacas. She chooses to do this instead of watching her 401K slowly disappear and have nothing for her senior years. Ms. Parks initially invested $56,000 to buy seven animals to start up the alpaca farm. Her investment is starting to pay off because the original seven have already produced two babies, which will add about $15,000 to the value of her business in the first year. One capital improvement that Ms. Parks should make to her business is to sell the alpaca coat. According to Sugarloaf Alpaca Company, “The fiber they produce has unique qualities and is used by…

    When I submitted my paper to Smartthinking for review I was certain there would be a few corrections presented and I would simply apply those minor tweaks to my work and I would move on to the next week a little more prepared than I was at the beginning of Unit 1. I was amazed at some of the suggestions. I am also amazed at how those suggestions made my paper a much better piece of writing.…

    Yes, last week was really difficult for me! I'm pursuing my degree in nursing through Arizona College and doing my prerequests through Keiser University, so I was able to take advantage of the free tutoring available at Arizona College. I put my kids in daycare for the week and I was at the Arizona College campus from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. studying and being tutored. I feel that I understand the concepts that we are studying each week, however the math portion is what I'm having a hard time with since I havent taken a math class in about ten years. I feel that I'm able to do the problems but they are taking me a long time to complete and since the time frame for the test is fifty minutes I run out of time and I'm left guessing on some of the…

    First, I would like to acquire experience working with students because this will be highly needed prior to my career. As a supplemental instruction leader it is my job to attend class with students, generate weekly sessions which will target study skills, help students develop study strategies, and provide a fun, enthusiastic environment for students to engage in learning. Personally speaking, it is very vital for instructors to come up with fun ways for students to engage in learning. For example, as a supplemental instruction leader my sessions will consist of fun learning experiences. This will include a jeopardy prior to the exam. This way the students can learn the material quickly and at the end of the day they will have enjoyed themselves. Second, I would like to strengthen my public speaking skills. Other goals include assisting the OSS office and gain leadership experience. The skills that I will bring to the program are adaptability, leadership, positivity, multi-tasker, open-mindedness, team player, enthusiasm, interpersonal, and communication. The SI leader has to be responsible, determined, confident, and approachable. It is very important that students can go to their SI leader without any hesitations. I will work hard to obtain these positive…

    This week I did not go into the office because I was out of the state. I had informed Joan that I would be out on the 17th and 18th. I had emailed Joan the dates a week before I left as a gentle reminder. I plan to make these hours up by going in on Tuesdays and Mondays whenever I can. Because I was not in the office, I worked from home. I spent the week calling the 3rd precinct to get a hold of the arresting officers on my cases. I left voicemails and messages, but I never got a call back. I reread my cases and read my new cases as well. I called some LP officers, who not in the days I called. I also organized my VDF’s.…

    I am currently completing my service learning at Martin Luther King Elementary School working with children ranging from Kindergarten to 5th grade in an after school program. This program provides the children with a safe and comforting place to do their homework, hangout with their friends, and get a snack. Since I am just getting to know these children I do not know everything about them and their background, so I do not have a lot of examples that relate back to the class work we do. In class I feel as if a lot of the material we focus on relates back to the parents, home life, and how they have been raised thus far. I only see them once a week, so I cannot make judgments regarding their course of development and influences that have left impacts on their life. The two examples that I have noticed that we have covered in class include Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory and The Ecological Systems Theory. I have noticed elements of the Sociocultural Theory in the children’s dialogue. Considering their age the children have a very advanced dialogue with rather colorful language. Personally, I was not even familiar with some of these words that Kindergarteners and 1st graders are expressing. I think this has to do with the culture they were raised and possibly the community. I think that the Kindergarteners at the school pick up on language that is used by the older kids and then they start to say it. Although teachers and administrators try their best to stop the kids from using bad language and reprimanding them when they do I feel as if the colorful language they have come to know is forever imbedded in their brain. I think the Ecological Systems Theory plays a big role in understanding these children and the school I am working at. For me it was rather different to go into a school like this in a bad neighborhood and see children behaving in ways that I had never seen before. However, for the teachers that work there are so used to it they don’t even…
