The Final Reflection On Whether To Accurie A Math Degree

The Benefits Of Having A Math Degree

A reflection on what I've done
Then comes the job of being an Athletic Director. This caught my eye because i know of people in this career and I also have not read anything I didn't like about it or heard anything as well. Like I've said plenty of times, I can see myself really progressing in this line of work, I'll be around sports which is wonderful. The only negitive I see is not making everyone happy as far as getting every sports the supplies they need. They'll have them but they may not as up to date as other sporting activities.
So as i conclude my blogs I think I have successfully found my answer to my question and ready to start my career well after college that is.

bush and that he and his fam mayo was recruited well if you want to use the words recruited because mayo recruited by the Johnson says that the the agency was recruiting mayo for one of there agents to represent him even threw his high school years and the money began even back when he was in high school. I felt this particular story would help me answer my question because of a similar story that the came out about a another f0rmer athlete at the university of southern California named Reggie received many things threw out his three years at the colleges one big item was a house that his family was allowed to live in for free while Reggie bush attended college. Many people think that the university of southern California is also responsible for not keeping a better eye on mayo and even that the coaches may have known what was going on with mayo but i my self feel that red flags should have went up with how he recruited the university by having some of his people call the coaches at the university of southern cal and tell them that he wanted to play ball at there university and the funny thing about this was that the coaches were cool with this because he was such a great talent. Now i will go back to the search method that brung me success when I learned to research my question in quotation marks.

Final blog- Technology: GOOD vs BAD
Dawn Bruner talks about online banking, e-mail, internet and computers in general. She has very inparticular sides of views on all these advances but the main one she talks about is computers. She gives her side of the story and believes that technology has made us lazy but goes on later to say that she would not trade her computer for a typewriter. She made it seem as if she is on both sides of the argument but it showed me that she does believe that technology makes us lazy but it has affected her to because she can't work or organize her blogs without her computer.
The information that I found from Dawn helped me a lot because it was the main article that helped me give my opinion about the situation. So in my opinion I am on both sides of the argument, I believe that technological advances have made us lazy but I also think it has brought us far. If we never expanded our minds to find technology we probably would not electricity to run the computer i am typing on. Or we probably would not have anything we rely on a daily bases like cell phones, and of course computers, and even the clock that gives us the time to change classes in our school.
So in conclusion I Think that technology has helped in many ways and only affected us in motivation a little. Technology has made us advanced and lazy. So in the end i have answered my question and I belong to both sides of the argument.

Conclusing of My Research
The Closing Reasearch of My Carpentry Research Paper
After you take the math test for the apprenticeship in pass with 70% you get setup for a interview. In the interview they let you no if they interested in you in did you qualitify for the apprenticeship program.You got to remember you is competeting for a spot which a certain amount of people get in so even thought you get 70% your goal is to get higger then that 70%. That look for ones that have carpent background so by me going to McKinley they will look at me befor someone that just want to get in the program.

Research concluded...
Also i recently learned that in the field of Sports Management as well as marketing professionals " as a rule are college educated" usually the required four years. (Http:// careers.state university.com). To get ahead most college students should start as interns in teams offices and or athletic departments. At Daemen College i know that past college students that majored in Sports management have worked with the Buffalo Sabers and the Buffalo Bisons as well as some other sports teams. Also Athletic directors can come from Sports management. This is a well paying job. At (http://swz.salary.com) I Also found out that the median expected pay for a typical Athletics Director at higher education in the U.S is $96,105 and for a mens Athletic Director at higher education can make a median salary of $82,413.
Point blank period to survive in this field or to strive you must keep that love of the sport your in, alive and well, because like everyone says you will be miserable working a job you do not enjoy. I want this career to be just as enjoyable as if i were on the court playing Basketball. "Many Sports management Professionals are former athletes themselves and come to Sports Management via Business Management" (Http://career.StateUniversity.com). I can really see myself succeeding in this line of work

Paralegal-A mistake In My Research-Body 3
There is no specific educational requirement in most U.S. states for legal assistants or paralegals. Some paralegals have only on-the-job experience, while some paralegals have completed a 2 year course or bachelor's dergree in paralegal studies. Others have completed a bachelor's or even a master's dergree in another field, and quite a few of these people have also completed a regular or post-baccalaureate paralegal certificate. Many paralegals have completed all of their training before entering the profession, while others have completed their education while working their way up from the mailroom in a law firm. Many paralegals take Continuing Legal Education credits to fulfill the requirements of their firm, state, or association.

The Research continued...
A couple days ago i came across a site (capital.com/business.planning/management.) it gave tips on how I should carry myself in the management world. For example I should " deal with problems in a timely manner, seek help if i'm unsure what to do, be consistent , and know my strengths and short comings". These are all great attributes i feel i have. success is in my future. Will it be in Sports Management?

Carpenty Research Part 2
Something I also learn was that Rough carpenters are expected to lose work time in the winter and when weather is bad(Career and Construction). Now I am thinking is Rough carpentry for me? Then I learn that Both Rough and Finish Carpenters can expect to lose time because of layoffs and material shortages(Career and Construction). So now I am thinking, then I continue to read which i found out that you get pay still and you don't be layoff for a long period of time sometimes only a week or a couple of days cause its all ways work in the construction field. I also learn you can do many side jobs as will. Now I am finding out some interesting things which I am ready to continue my research in find out more of my answer and more interesting facts.

Paralegal-Duties-Body 2
Paralegals are often undermined due to the fact that they work under the lawyers of today
so i give you a run trough on what i mean
While lawyers assume ultimate responsibility for legal work, they often delegate many of their tasks to paralegals. In fact, paralegals—also called legal assistants—are continuing to assume a growing range of tasks in legal offices and perform many of the same tasks as lawyers. Nevertheless, they are explicitly prohibited from carrying out duties considered to be the practice of law, such as setting legal fees, giving legal advice, and presenting cases in court.
One of a paralegal’s most important tasks is helping lawyers prepare for closings, hearings, trials, and corporate meetings. Paralegals might investigate the facts of cases and ensure that all relevant information is considered. They also identify appropriate laws, judicial decisions, legal articles, and other materials that are relevant to assigned cases. After they analyze and organize the information, paralegals may prepare written reports that attorneys use in determining how cases should be handled. If attorneys decide to file lawsuits on behalf of clients, paralegals may help prepare the legal arguments, draft pleadings and motions to be filed with the court, obtain affidavits, and assist attorneys during trials. Paralegals also organize and track files of all important case documents and make them available and easily accessible to attorneys.

Paralegal Body 1
So to begin you may first want to ask your high school guidance counselor for recommendations of institutions offering paralegal certificates and degrees.Obtain the school catalogs and check whether the paralegal programs are approved by the American Bar Association or (ABA) some are not.
If most of the lawyers in your area prefer ABA-approved college programs, don't even consider other offerings.Decide whether to complete a paralegal certificate program for high school graduates, or a two-year or four-year college paralegal program. Be aware that many paralegals today are receiving at least a bachelor's degree, especially if they want to work for larger organizations.
Visit several schools you are considering. Be certain that they're known for being able to arrange a variety of internships for their students.Choose an area of legal specialty if you would like to work for a large law firm or the government. Possibilities include corporate law, criminal law, patent and copyright law, and real estate law.Plan to eventually become certified by the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA) through a Certified Legal Assistant (CLA) designation. This will put you on a faster career track

As my research continued more people have different opinions and one person in particular was Howard Dittmer. This persons arguement is that teachers of some campuses are tryin to ban laptops from the classrooms in which they teach in, for many students this is a hassle because this how they take notes and they rely on the laptop to keep them on task and not needing to take all the notes by paper and pencil. Some drastic measures that some campuses are taking isz turning off the WiFi in the campus so students cannot use there laptops there(Dittmer). Again this helped me because it shows how people are against technology and even banning it just to have more participation in class, Howard Dittmer is against this ban and with technology on this one.

Info And What I Learned
Thursday, April 17, 2008
Math Degree
Math seems simple but some gurling qualities are required. You have to be good with numbers and equations. Like setting up equations and solving them. For the most part, you would have to major in a math study for four to six years. At least to get a teaching degree rolling. You will have to learn how to handle children if teaching is also in your future.
But my questions are how long will it take to get a full math degree. What kinds of math needs to be studied to be sucsseful. And what techniques are used to complete a math degree.
Carpentry Reasearch Paper
A apprentice is a worker at least 16 years of age, except where a higher mimimum age standard is otherwise fixed by law, who is employed to learn a skilled trade as defined in sec. 29.4 under standards of apprenticeship fulfilling the requirements of sec. 29.5. (U.S. Department of Labor in the 21st Century Section 29.2) I learned that you can become a apprentice by going to apprenticeship program. By country and also by Occupation. (Labor and Industries L&l)

Introduction to the i-search project
As i complete my project I'm going to be answering some questions such as "what are some of the opinions that other people have?", "Does technology advances affect us to?", "What does technology do for us?", "What technology might do but doesn't do?". All of these questions will help me find out my essential questions which is "Is technology making us inadequate to do things ourselves and how will it affect us in the long run?"

Do colleges promote there athletic programs over there academic programs
My knowledge on this subject is limited at this point. What i do know is that it is widely known for colleges to give out many full athletic scholarships but what i don't know is if the number of academic scholar ships are comparable.
I am going into my research with a open and clear mind to try and find out if athletics and academics are treated equally and if more opportunity's are given to athletes going into college rather than regular students and if the number of opportunity's that both the student and athlete will receive while in college are equal.

Carpentry
I no that carpentry is just not hammering things, Befor you put something together or build something you have to first figure out how. You have to figure out mat problem as well. In carpentry you also have to be as much accurate as possible almost exact. Carpentry is about hard work, you got to be willing to do it. You can not play around you have to take carpentry very seriously if not taken seriously you can get badly injured or even killed . It is important to wear the proper clothen in have the right materials for example, you need a hardhat, a Toolbelt, Safety Glasses in more.
There are many thing needed to no about carpentry, I want to no How can i make a carrer out of carpentry? What field is iam interested in? Which field offer better pay? Which field will i want to do for a living? And can i see myself doing this for many years to come?

Sports Management...What can it do for me?
Being an athlete i have always been drawn into the world of sports. With Sports Management i know i have different feilds in which i could persue. It could be a variety of things, from me owning my own Sports Agency on the Professional, Collegiate, Highschool level, or working for an Agency, I want to help others strive for success in the sport they love. I feel that I'm a great people person and would do great in this business
My main goal is to find out as much information as i can about my future major and possible career Sports Management. I want to make sure I really want this for me. College students change their major all the time, I don't want to be one of those students, Enjoying every second of the material i learn and retain it.

A Bond Like Brothers
pages 105 - 190
I believe everybody has one childhood friend were you to are so close that ya llcould be brothers / sister well in the novel slam Greg has one of these friends his name is ice. In the novel they say Greg and ice did every thing together while they were growing up even having the same baby sister and going to the same school all of there life except when Greg left to go to latimer. Greg and ice are only a year apart in age but you wouldn't know it from just reading the novel if they didn't tell you but now here is were it gets interesting in the novel another friend who is close to both Greg and ice tells Greg that ice is hanging around with the wrong people and is and somehow is getting allot of money without a job the character continues on to say that she thinks ice is selling drugs and that she wanted Greg to confront him about it . In the novel Greg has trouble building the inner sterength up to confront ice his child hood friend about the allegations have you ever in your life had a friend that was dis close to you and that you had to confront with a problem like dis if you have what did you do if not what would you do if you were in Greg's situation
An Overnight Star
pages 54 - 104
In this part of the novel the main character pretty much go's from being a nobody with in his new school latimer to being the most talked about person in the . Main character Greg (Slam) Harris over night star hood begins when he and the schools basketball team takes on an opposing team at his schools gym t First Greg did not see the floor for much of the game but when he did to his want to show the coach and the fans that he could really play propelled him to one of the best games his school had ever seen. When Greg gt his first taste of the action it was in the middle of the 3rd quarter and he was eager to make an impact and he does with his spark off the bench the teams takes fire and starts clicking on all cylinders they begin to come back slowly but surely and with the constant ball pressure being applied and crowed up rising dunks by Greg the team takes the lead and wins by 11 ironically the same amount of points Greg had in the game but instantly after the game Greg had went from pretty much being a nobody to being one of the biggest stars in school. To me I believe this happens allot in high schools where an athlete may have a very good game and immediately the next day in school is the most talked about person to me this good be good or bad the athlete could either take this as motivation to work harder and become better or he can let the fame go to his / her head. So my question is what do you think do you think this happens allot in high schools and what type of effect do you think it has on the person

Conflict On The Court
(pages 1- 53)
I have begun reading and have progressed into the novel some and threw out the first 53 pages of the novel it has became very relevant to me that the main character Greg Harris a.k.a slam is enduring many stressful and conflicting events in his life. Greg Harris is a high school junior that is all about playing basketball it is made clear in the novel that all he really thinks about is playing ball and that he's very good as is evident in his nick name and title of the book slam. The conflict begins when Greg (slam) begins his junior year at a new school that is more advanced than his former high school but as basketball season looms the principal tells him that with his grades he may need to be his number one priority and that he may need to concentrate on school only his conflicts continues to mount as the coach of the team doesn't give him the respect that he felt is need and his grandmother becomes very sick which makes it every more difficult for him to concentrate on school and basketball. Has there ever been a time in your life or someones life that you know were there was something very important to you or that but every time you tried to focus on it bad things kept happening to keep you from focusing on it

Well its now the end of the summer and Jerome is startin to think about the new school he'll have to be attending due to a new intergration law passed by congress and ofcourse Jerome isn't to happy about this simply because he'll be the ONLY black kid in the school. But theres an upside, Jerome is a very bright student in the classroom and because of that has already met some of the teachers there so he feels it'll be an easier transition he also learns of Basketball tryouts and is ready to go!. Tryouts come around and Jerome is showing off his fancy behind the back passes, reverse layups, no look passes but does not make a good impression with the coach who already has it out for Jerome because hes black. He tells Jerome that his flashy actions will not be tolerated and Basketball is a Five man game not one... I wonder if Jerome will make the team let alone get on the coaches good side

The Novel has gone back to the beginning when jerome first saw bix and Jerome's inpression of bix. Jerome saw bix for the first time at a Baseball game which by the way Jerome dislikes very much. Says its not a real sport. It was a white team from the other side of town with more money and better jerseys than the black teams. They were all uniform and came to play. Jerome hated that these white teams did this every summer. But amidst all of that, He thought Bix's whole demeanor was special and was something very different about him. Jerome watched as Bix struck out the opposing team with great ease and stayed humble about it each time he did so. Jerome still doesn't know to much about this "bix" character but is determined to find out. I wonder what Jerome will do to gather more information on Bix.

Impressions Of Summer Ball
Initial impression of "The necessary hunger"by Nina Revoyr Pgs 1-16
Impression on my novel
(pages read 1-15).
My immidiate impression of the story was that it was going to be a good one. I'm always ready to read a sports novel whether it be tennis, football, soccer or basketball as long as it has a good sense of teamwork, competition, conflict, and characters with many dimensions.The story starts off with a boy named Jerome telling the reader the events that are currently taking place in his life. His bestfriend Bix has ran away and no one knows why, well no one does besides Jerome, Bix's bestfriend. He begins to tell the reader of what type of kide Bix was and why he doesnt believe his bestfriend would just up and leave without a logical explanation. Jerome was all that Bix had, his family life wasn't to great and caused them to be distant. And now with the disappearance of Bix, Jerome is the only one that can tell his story...his legacy. So far with the little bit of reading I've done I see a great book in my future. Theres already conflict which i feel is a great key in having a good sports novel. I'm just waiting for the other pieces of the puzzle to fall in place. Only time will tell.
