I want to truly thank you for the opportunities you have provided me over the course of my time here at Lowe’s. It truly saddens me to have to say this, especially to you. With much thought and consideration I am going to have to decline the promotion that I was recently appointed. Not only am I going to have to forgo this position, I am also requesting to go part-time as my schedule is about to change. Let me be the first to tell you, I have inquired other options that would work better pertaining a work life balance. The reason I ventured out and looked around was, because I want to continue my education. Actually, I need to continue my education, it has been brought to my attention that the responsibilities I have recently taken on is going to cause a huge …show more content…
So, I feel it would be in everyone’s best interest if you would consider letting me go back to part-time. This was a very difficult decision for me especially since you felt I was qualified and tested me in so many different roles. But, I have a life plan and I want to do things differently in my life which is going to require me to further my education. Just as Lowe’s states we are constantly evolving and I am evolving into the individual I feel I need to become. As a company Lowe’s states “they are dedicated to their employees and their growth.” I have a lot of growing to do and I hope that you will allow me to continue inside of Lowe’s as well as outside of Lowe’s. All of the things I want to achieve in life is what Lowe’s states and shapes each employee to be. I am truly hoping I can continue to be apart of this Lowe’s family, you all have taught me so much such as: patience, multi-tasking, stepping out of comfort zone and taking leadership steps when necessary. I still have a lot of growing to do as an individual and I am hoping this family will allow me to grow some more here. I also understand you are running a business and must do what is right for the business and everyone
Thousands of people end up enrolling in college after they graduate from high school. Most of them want to further their education so they can make something out of themselves. It is a common idea among many, that college will end up increasing one’s average income. In the article, The College Payoff Illusion, by Edwin S. Rubenstein, he wrote that “In 1997, college graduates earned an average of $40,508 versus just $23,970 for non-college graduates”. The statistic shows that graduates are making more but does it have more to do with their college degree or their personality?
1. The Statement that best summarizes Nemko’s position is, “College is a chain saw. Only in certain situations is it the right tool,” because most of their argument talks about why college isn’t for everyone, and why more people should pursue an alternative path.
"Graduation" is an excerpt of the autobiographical book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, written by Maya Angelou. While the book is autobiographical in nature, this particular excerpt is much discussed amongst literary circles because of Angelou's use of both objective and subjective narration.
After years of education from K-12 there is still the question if a high school senior is academically prepared for college. Furthermore, it may be understandable for a concerned parent to pose this question but what about the student? In a survey of W.VA seniors, MMM MMM points out that “12.4 percent of survey respondents said they felt ‘very prepared’ for college, while . . . 10.7 percent felt they were ‘not prepared at all” (8). In these long years of education we expect students to be ready, but what does it mean to be ready for college? Needless to say, there is an issue with high school students being prepared for college. But in order to classify someone as being ready for college or not we have to come to a common understanding of what it means. A student that needs to take additional education to have the knowledge to be prosperous is not considered college ready (What Does College and Career Readiness Mean). When a High school senior leaves home and goes off to college he/she should have the potential to make all A’s throughout college. A student is college ready when he/she has acquired characteristics and skills from K-12, which include time management, perseverance, a drive to become successful, and a working knowledge of basic subjects: these can be reflected through, but not limited to, standardized test and the individuals GPA.
I am Nursing major and with that degree to become a Nurse Practitioner who specializes in the Cardiovascular System to reduce the rate of heart diease in America. I am a hardworking individual and I take my academics very seriously. I understand that I am at school for a purpose and know my purpose is to further my education. I am just trying to make it. My parents always told me growing up “ In order to get something you never had that I will have to do things I have never done.” No one prepared me for college, because I am a first generation college student. In addition to being a first generation college student ; I am also a first generation high school graduate. I use my my parents trials and tribulations as my motivation, because I want

Educators revisited ways to improve the graduation rate of students in The New York Times article, “Revamping Community Colleges to Improve Graduation Rates” by Alina Tugend. Five steps listed which led to changes at community colleges across the country to improve graduation rates were: offer more aligned courses, demand less remedial math and English courses, combine remedial courses with the corresponding subject courses, ensure better counseling services for academic and personal issues, and decrease the amount of tuition. Changes mentioned in this article, “Revamping Community Colleges to Improve Graduation Rates” that help students acquire degrees from community colleges across the United States.
the author, Kevin Carey, believes that the methods for rating college success are outdated and inaccurate. He also believes that the old system of calculating graduation did not properly represent every student. The system that was set in place only calculated freshmen with full course loads and students who graduated within a six-year period. This calculation made sense for the typical four-year university student. These students are considered traditional students and don't account for the non-traditional students, as Carey points out. These students are older, some are parents,
Thank you so much for your time, and giving me the opportunity to come into your work environment and let me job shadow you. I was bummed out when I thought I wasn’t going to be able to job shadow you because your schedule was booked, but when you told me I could do it after spring break I was so excited. I realized I procrastinated in setting up a job shadow with you, but it ended up working out. Since it was the day back from spring break and it was a catch up day for the kids, we had so much time to talk and I learned a lot about the job of a middle school teacher. I really like the idea of moving to Hawaii or Alaska for a few years to teach, I haven’t told my mom that yet though. And all the information you gave me on what degrees to get
When developing curriculum at the program level ensure that the outcomes are clear statements of performance and expected achievements from graduates which are reflected in program outcome statements. “Program outcomes are statements that describe what learners will know and be able to do when they graduate from a program” ("Building curriculum at," 2012). Program outcomes should include three basic elements: vocational standards, essential employability skills, and general education requirements and should describe significant and durable learning objectives of what the learner will be able to demonstrate at the end of the program.
School plays an important role in our lives. Many people will spend more than fifteen years at school in order to get the qualifications that are required to work in a specific field. Those years are broken down into several levels, some of them being more enjoyable than others. Two very important levels that people go through are high school and college. Even though some think that these levels are almost the same, there are significant differences between them. The cost of high school is not the same as the cost of college. Also, some differences apply from an academic point of view. Typically, the social environment also differs from high school to college, which can be related to the question of freedom versus responsibility.
But the point here is to understand that career change isn’t always the answer for unhappiness in your job. Just because you are unhappy in your current role, doesn’t mean you should move on to a completely new industry. Don’t be disillusioned in thinking the answer is always career change.
I love you with all my heart, and it is past time for me to walk that walk - and not just talk the talk anymore. I can almost hear the doubt in your voice as you read this (the "Um huh" I've heard from you so often when I shared with you my next great idea). All I can say is, hold me to that, and you will see it is true. Thank you for the past three decades together, for all the memories, good and bad; the opportunities to grow, the sharing and caring we experienced; the love we made, and the magical history we created. I am ready to spend the next thirty years repeating this magic with you - except raising another set of kids
Graduation is an exciting time in a person’s life, especially a high school graduation. When I think of family and friends gathering together to celebrate a joyous occasion, I feel I accomplished my strongest goal. It never occurred to me that graduation would be the end of my youth and the start of adulthood. Graduating from high school was an influential event that gave me an altered outlook on my existence. Life before graduation, preparing for graduation day, and commencement day overwhelmed me for reality.
