<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color: #f38e29; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I feel like with the pursuit of my career I have both businessperson traits and entrepreneur traits. First, I exhibit business traits through my value in wanting a stable and comfortable situation. However, the majority of my traits are entrepreneur. I plan to move to North Carolina, which is high risk to pursue a sports medicine program. I plan on opening an Olympic center, which is starting a new business. I am also a huge planner and always have been. I have a very high value in organization and want structured plan for everything ranging from my daily routine to even a time line for the rest of my life. However, I am not so naïve that I don’t realize that plans are always subject to change. I am also very self-motivated, with a constant drive to keep improving and moving forward. The signature for my emails is “UP&ONWARD.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am always striving to better myself and the people around me. I also have a very high value for travel, change and adventure. I show this in my life goals of my PDP. I want to travel to Bali and to take other high risk trips such as a medical mission trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My ideas for my future may not be extremely unique; however, they are driven by the fact that I want to make a difference in people’s lives and to make a difference in the world. Being an entrepreneur isn’t always just about starting a business or developing something new. I would consider anyone pursuing any career out of the normal to be a great entrepreneur. The weakness that could come with being an entrepreneur is that there should be a solid foundation before pursuing each new step. Having big hopes and dreams is awesome; however, if there is no funding, or a lack of education you are just setting yourself up for failure. The world is changing quickly and people who are not on their toes will be quickly left behind. People need to be proactive in always looking towards the future. It’s never too early to start planning and getting a good solid foundation in place. For example, I have currently started making “fake” car payments. My car that I have had since high school, is on its’ last leg. By making fake payments, I am testing to see if my budget can handle these payments, and if I am able to keep on top of the payments each month. The second purpose for these payments is once I am ready to buy a car; I will have enough set away for a sizable down payment. This is just an example of how I try to set myself up for success and happiness. I truly believe that both business and entrepreneur can be happy, it all depends on the individual’s values and needs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="color: #f38e29;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>andersonwh31http://www.blogger.com/profile/05894368721166211779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660242992260154261.post-77996519914607380802011-11-26T11:39:00.000-08:002011-11-26T11:39:15.166-08:00Final PDP<span style="color: #f6b26b;"> </span><br />

<br />
NO! they could hurt themselves even worse. It is mine job to tell them and their coaches of the injury if decide to play it is on them. <br />
<br />
I can understand where the concussion might be minor and the player would be able to play. However, there is a protocol for a reason. And if the player is cleared too early they could cause further injury by sustaining a TBI or Traumatic brain injury. I will stand by my decision as to not let them play they could further hurt themselves or others.<br />

A Doctor takes an oath to provide the best care to their ability. A Doctor would never give a pill to someone if it would not benefit the patents health. All the Pharmaceutical companies are doing are selling a brand. Every company has an antibiotic that’s good and works. However, the wild tickets are not going to erase 7 plus years of school and training. The doctor will not all of a sudden start handing out pills that aren’t needed. (which would be unethical) So yes, accepting the tickets is completely ethical. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><span style="color: #e69138;"> </span><br />

</div><div class="post-body entry-content"> </div><div class="post-body entry-content">2. Reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of the criteria established. Where these good criteria, or should there have been different criteria established? <em>I thought this was good criteria. However, maybe more should have been added, the IPCC has alot of criteria that a paper has to meet.</em> </div><div class="post-body entry-content"> </div><div class="post-body entry-content"> </div><div class="post-body entry-content">3. Reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of the presentations as a whole. Consider the "yes" and "no" groups as a whole. <em>The yes group didn't have alot of prove that it was valued. And then when asked about certain points they just answered what they thought the answer was instead of finding proof in the paper or in the science community. Strengths were they did have some scientific information and they did research alot of sources. The No's had alot of prove that the information was invalid and could prove that the data was not accurate. A weakness was there was alot of repeat of information.</em></div><div class="post-body entry-content"> </div><div class="post-body entry-content">4. Reflect on the group management of your group.

I think that the sources need to get legitimate and are the references experts.

“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.<br />
“I don’t much care where –” said Alice.<br />
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.”</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Why do we need a personal development Plan? and the simple answer is to be successful!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">After looking through many examples and speaking with some of my wonderful friends I have put together a list of things, in my opinion, should be in every one's PDP!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Your life purpose/ mission</strong>- this would include what you want out of life, what you want to accomplish, what makes you happy or what were you born to do and be apart of. For example mine is </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>(</em></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>be successful, to help injured athletes achieve their full potential, to use my knowledge and skills to make someone better and give them opportunities they otherwise might not of had, to help make society be more healthy and live better lives, by maintaining their movement and mobility)</em></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">2. <strong>Dreams/ Goals</strong>- In my opinion these are very important. Goals keep you focused and remind you what you want out of life. You should list short term and long term goals. My big life goals are listed below on my blog page.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">3. <strong>Values-</strong> Values and beliefs are very important! Remembering who you are and who you want to be will help you when making ethical decisions in the work place. " if you don't stand for something, you will far for anything." </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">for example- I very strongly believe in my christian faith and value my religious community. I </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">value hard work, family, financial security, great friendships, supportive and positive people and environments, education, and a healthy life style.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">4.<strong> Lessons/ mistakes</strong>- I actually find this very interesting and think it would have great impact. As humans I feel like we all think we are perfect and try to forget the mistakes of the past. But without the past you wouldn't be who you are today. This portion isn't meant to dwell on the past but rather to remind yourself of the lessons we have learned along the way. These may be extremely private and very hard to face, but this is to hold ourselves accountable and will prove to future employers that they can also hold us accountable for our actions. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">for example- I learned the hard way to value my education, I would skip classes and not do my homework to the best of my ability, and because of my actions I almost ruined my dreams/ goals of my future career. This is a great way to remind myself what is at stake. </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">5. <strong>Accomplishments</strong>- Big or small, celebrate the little successes in life whether it be running a marathon or finishing a long over due "To Do List" Everyone has minor successes each and everyday, and its those little successes that will help us accomplish our big goals </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">after five years in your career, what should you have on your PDP</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1. self assessment plan- have you gotten done what you had planned, and does a new road map need to get put in place. Also, having outside input to asses where you are. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">2. financially stable and planning for the future experiences </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">3. action plan- it's not good enough to just have goals or a road map. How are you going to get to your goals? What are you actively going to do? and to correct if you aren't where you want to be</span><br />
<br />
also, including a value list and a skills list </div>andersonwh31http://www.blogger.com/profile/05894368721166211779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660242992260154261.post-82626897197413714952011-09-10T11:47:00.000-07:002011-09-16T09:00:39.666-07:00How much does a penny weigh?Today in <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Issues for Science Professionals, APSC-311 class we were asked a very simple question how much does a penny weigh? At first glance this looks like a very simple question and could be answered very quickly by replying 2.5 grams approximately. However, Dr. Schultz asked the full question like this<strong>, "</strong><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">It is Saturday morning 9 am, and I walk by acoustic café, and I look on the side walk and there is a penny there I pick up the penn,y how much does it weigh?" and knowing him there was a reason why he asked it like this. My answer is I do not have enough information to give the proper answer. First of all it depends on the date. After doing some research I found that the Indian Head pennies dated 1864 to 1909 weigh 3.11 grams. The Lincoln, Wheat Ears Reverse penny weighs 3.11 grams except for steel cents made only in 1943 that weigh 2.67 grams. The Lincoln, Memorial Reverse penny (1959 to mid 1982) weighs 3.11 grams.The Lincoln, Memorial Reverse penny (mid 1982 to present) weighs 2.5 grams. Secondly, is the penny clean and is perfect condition, Or is there gum stuck to it or has it gone through a lawn mower and has part of it missing. </span></span><br />
