The Research continued...

Okay i'm back but unfortunetly I don't have much more information about my topic. So i find myself doing more of a self evaluation. I want to be around sports for the remainder of my life. It's what I know, It's what I do, and it's apart of me. My teacher brought up a new way i could find Information, I could perhaps ask someone in that line of work or a college professor that teaches the course Sports Management. I'm sure they could give me another outlook on the major as well as a studnet in that major. They could tell me what it takes to strive in the Sports Management world, obstacles i can expect to come my way as well as the rewards That would be more of a primary source so i'm positive they'll be helpful. But untill then, I'm still searching in the shallow and deep Google waters. Hoping to find maybe something new something I don't already know... but I don't know where to look.

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

So I continue my search I type in carpentry, A web site came up that sad Careers in Construction. I found out that an average salary for a apprentices is 16.90 per hour. I also learn that carpenters work throw out the construction industry's, They are the largest group of building trades workers. I also found out carpentry work is divided in two categories. Rough Carpentry and Finish Carpentry. Rough carpentry often work outside on Buildings, Houses, And Construction sites. Finish carpentry put in windows, doors, they build in install Cabinets, Lay Hardwood Floor, And also Panel Rooms(Career and Construction). Jim a carpenter sad " A carpenter may work on large construction sites or in small workshops but they get the work done"( Craigmyle).


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 Intro

So to began i would like to express why i choose this topic. Well actually i would like to go college to become a paralegal and was already looking online to find out what i will need and what i need to know.i already know that you need a minimal of 7 years of college to qualify to be one 3 year of regular college courses and 4 years of law school. I plan on attending Bryant & Stratton college for 2 years, transfer to Alfred State college and finish to rest my school time there in their law program.
So i u see I'm pretty set on what i will be doing this project on. So you see i know the basics for becoming a paralegal but what exactly do they do.

Athletics or Acadimics

As i began my research i found it very difficult to find information about my essential question. Most of my searches led me back to the same thing which was colleges just mainly talking about the history of there academic programs or the history of there athletic programs i tried many different ways to type in my search like colleges academics vs athletics, and what are colleges main priority academics or athletics but most of these searches just sent me to colleges like the university of southern cal and drake talking about there 100 years of academic excellence but i could never seem to find the two being compared side by side to see which one colleges adored more. So as i was realizing that searching my topic on Google , yahoo, and ask.com where useless until Mr Malley showed us a new way to search on Google that will narrow done our searches tremendously called Boolean search techniques. These techniques just happened to be what i needed to jump start my search again. The top web Google search that appeared was a site with a article that was tittled "Athletics vs Academics" by Adena Andrews this rite here was just what i have been looking for. In her article she promotes a very interesting question which was when did college athletics become more important than the actual college and she makes a few pretty good points to express her point of view. She tells how in 2006 the university of Texas spent 8 million dollars on a jumbo tron the university told tuition and tax payers earlier that year that there money would be going towards better professors . Adena Andrews also 2001 to 2004 that the athletic budgets at division 1 schools had more than doubled in spending and. Even after telling about all of this Adena has more to tell as she goes on to say how say that at the university of southern California that it is a regular thing when a regular academic student is denied enrollment in a class because it is full of athletes and that athletes get early enrolment in classes because they play sports. The article that Adena Andrews wrote held many things that i was looking for to help me jump start my search again she i hope that i can continue with the recent success i have experienced in my search to help me find a answer to my essential question.

Paralegal Body 1

As my research begin to see the basic output that people go through when becoming a paralegal. So i will first take you through these steps and then show u "the life".
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

In my search for my question on my i-search paper i visited a website called www.ezinearticles.com this website helped clarify my question a little. This article talked about peoples different point if views on weather technology is good or bad for us. A man named Lance Winslow discussed his and other peoples point of views and he thinks that he believes that technology is "dummying down the population base" and that most people became relient on technology and can't live without it(Winslow). Lance Winslow's side of the argument thinks why cant we be in tact with technology and be in tact with letting us thinking for ourselves(Winslow). This information tells me that my essential question will not have a plain answer it will most likely be a opinion because people might argue about the same topic but have different point of views.

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.

Sports Management...The research

So i find myself in class on google trying to find different ways to type in "Sports Management information" and get different information...that doesnt work, so i'm looking at the wide variety of different websites i can go to, to aid me in my quest to find out what Sports Management can do for me. As i scroll down the list i find myself clicking on this website (Answers.com) and it tells me that " Sports Management is a feild of education and vocation concering the business aspect of sports examples include the Front Office system in Professional sports, College sports managers, Recreational sports managers Sports Marketing" etc. I don't want to continue babbling on with what this website showed me, but i will say that it provided me with a great deal of information and this is just form one source. I'm positve that there is a great deal of information out there for my taking. As i begin my research part of this project i feel almost sure that i will find my answer to my question. i won't be left in the dust. Its only a matter of time for me.

Info And What I Learned

Going for math degree is not going to be simple work. There are lots of sites that gives me insight on what i need to do to get a math degree. As shown in Mathematics and Statistics, Degrees, Diplomas, and Qualifications some courses need to be succesfully taken. Like GCSC or open math to get a degree. To complete these courses and even be above would make things easy for you in looking for someting in the field of math. Like job openings and harder courses to futher your studies. Even though you use alot of math to get a degree, not so much is used when you get a degree. It is all about expressng yourself clearly and knowing your terms and equations. What can i do with a math degree describes this well.

Math Degree

There are plenty of interests in real life. Things that you take pleasure in doing and something that you would want to get paid for doing. While everyone has different interests I appreciate math. I would like to have a future in math and get a 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

I started my search on the computer, i whent to google in type n carpentry. As the search foor it many site camed up.

Introduction to the i-search project

When i was younger i was always trying to make inventions for my mom and dad to try to make our lives easier. As i was growing up i would take apart certain things to see how they work to help me on my journey to inventing things. I ended up taking apart a AM/FM radio to see how it works and there was a lot of technology, such as micro chips and little power surges and things such as that. That how and when i became interested in wondering if technology is right for us or does it hurt us.

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

Do colleges really promote there athletic programs over there academic programs first became a thought of mine in a discussion i had with my older sister around the beginning of my senior year of high school. The discussion began as another one of her conversations that goes like this you need to figure out what colleges your going to apply to cause senior year here and will be gone before you no it and blah blah blah but the conversation quickly switched to how she was so upset with the college that she attends which is the university of southern Florida. The football team had recently been ranked national top 25 and had been moving up the ranks rapidly to wear it was ranked number 3 in the country her schools name was every where all you heard about was how usf was ranked nationally for the first time ever the school went from the general public not knowing much about it to if you mention the name usf most people new exactly what school you where talking about and all about the football team. This irritated my sister allot because she is one of those people that goes to a school because its a good school not because of its sports programs she has always felt that athletes are put on a plateau and are showered with glory for there achievements but but academic achievements do not receive the same amount of attention.

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.

This is my MLA citation practice. I am copying and pasting this in order to have something to plop citations under.

Carpentry

Growing up going to school having techonolgy in the 7th and 8Th grade i found building stuff interesting. I allways like building things when i was younger but when i enter into my 7th and 8th grade year i knew i wanted to get involved with that field. 8th grade year when i pick my highschool i saw Mckinley in it had a course call building trades. I suddenly becamed interested in this school i pick it in got accepted. My first day at Mckinley i had plumbling the first marking period which was ok. Then i had carpentry 2nd marking period which i enjoyed. 3rd marking period i had sheetmetal which i did not find that to intersting. Last marking period i had carpentry again which i knew that was what i wanted to pick to major next year. Having carpentry at Mckinley in being able to have it befor i pick my major at Mckinley help me to become interested in carpentry even more.

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?

Growing up, Basketball and just sports in general has always been apart of my life. Whether it was waking up early as a kid to play street football, or going into my backyard to throw a Basketball at my garage because back then we didn't have a portable Basketball hoop. But I knew I would always be interested in sports, so as i get older I realize that I want to continue to be around sports, Basketball in particular and whether i'm playing the game itself or in the feild in some way, shape, or form. So as I prepare for college I thought to myself that Sports Management could be what i want to do as far as a career. I see myself always around the sport i love and have a passion for

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. So i ask myself, With the information I learn, will I still be interested in this major, and will I still to persue this career?
