<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">When you are fed with a job it helps quitting and
doing so in style. A formalized exit plan is most essential because you never
know you might need the same supervisor or the bossy employer as you climb up
the corporate ladder. Writing a formal resignation letter is the best way to
make you exodus. It has a universal format. You start off with the date of when
you are writing your letter. Then proceed to write the formal addresses of your
recipient. You make sure that their position in the companies stands out. You
could start with Mr. or Mrs. (name) because you already know them in person
then write their position. F<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1820104797575139979" name="_GoBack"></a>or instance, Managing
Director or Assistant Housekeeper.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Address your recipient as dear (sir or madam) well
below their address. The main body of your resignation letter should tell the
recipient the intention to resign from your position. Remember to mention the
date they should expect you out but guided by the responsibilities you hold and
the terms of contract you signed. Thank the recipient in the closing remarks
for giving you an opportunity to work and train with them. Finish with yours
sincerely with your signature and your valid names. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Success is often
a psychological thing that is first formed from the mind and then advancements
are made into practice. That is, living it.In the course of one’s life, he or
she comes across all the different myths and advises of different kinds on how
to be successful. This cuts across from small minor things happening in the
home setting and stretches all the way to the corporate world. The education
system needs to be properly developed in order to cater for the success needs
of young growing individuals and to give the young people opportunities to
discover themselves and consequently enable them build their desired careers.
Giving such people the right tools and appropriate knowledge will realistically
help them plan their future for the better culminating into their success.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Lack of direction and mentors by the
large number of growing youth may result in ruining their dreams after
rendering their efforts to discover themselves pointless. Young people are full
of ambitions and if misguided or not properly directed may result into loss of
such great talents. This means that fostering success in the young generation
should be provided with high quality education to boost their esteem and
knowledge. Career guidance and academic counseling can provide students with
the necessary tools to set career goals, and give them an understanding of the
education and skills they need to meet their goals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Also, it is important to consider
the most effective ways of teaching such individuals the best success tips. For
example, the study that employs comparison of group activities and effectively
contains external influences has been rated effective. The counselors need to
spend quality time with the young developing minds in order to realize the
interest and talents in order to nurture them in the most appropriate ways. It
is also important that parents and other parties involved for example staff
members and other stakeholders to work handy with the counselors in directing
their career paths.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">Students
have big college dreams, which they begin to prepare for earlier on in their
academic life while they are still in grade school or high school. Their
parents also come into play to ensure that their children’s academic future is
on track when they enroll them for extracurricular activities such as ballet
classes and sports. They want their children to apply and get accepted to
various Ivy League universities. The parents and students also understand that
Rome </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">wasn't</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"> built in a day. They need to
put in a lot of effort to ensure that they successfully apply, and get accepted
to the college they desire. This leads them to develop a portfolio of most of
their achievements, which they have earned over the years both academically and
socially. The portfolio is a collection of relevant documents that act as a
record to portray their achievements. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">Most
schools prefer to have their potential students provide them with a portfolio.
This is because it helps them to determine if the students’ academic needs can
be met by the school’s academic and social programs. The academic </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">advisers</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"> can
offer the students the best course options they can undertake based on their
portfolios. It also helps the colleges to determine if the students’ can be a
valuable addition to their school through the various sports and
extracurricular activities that they have talents in. This is why some colleges
send out coaches to scout for unique students who can join their sporting
teams. The portfolio also helps the colleges to determine the eligibility of
students in getting scholarships. One must admit that getting scholarships is
beneficial to both the parents and students. This is because it will lighten
the financial burden that parents carry in order to see their children receive
the best education college has to offer.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
portfolios also help universities and special schools arrange and prepare
adequately for students with disabilities. They are able to implement plans
such as construction of ramps, and other forms of transport access to simplify
the movement of students with disabilities. This also makes the students feel
comfortable because they feel that their needs are being taken care of by the
universities. This eventually helps them to get acquainted to their
surroundings faster. They are able to concentrate on their academics
effectively with minimal fear of stigmatization from their fellow peers.
Students should ensure that they have a portfolio that brings out their best
qualities, in order to be accorded the best opportunities academically, and
socially that life has to offer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://blog.earnmydegree.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/test_taking.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://blog.earnmydegree.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/test_taking.gif" width="224" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Studying
for academic examinations and tests can be quite frustrating for students. This
is especially the case when they are having difficulty in understanding the
unit they are studying properly. The students may spend hours trying to grasp
what they are reading in fear that they may fail in their final grade. They
even develop poor eating and sleeping habits as they try to absorb the academic
information they need for their essay tests. They know that if they don’t make
the grade cut, they will have to repeat the same unit again in the coming
semester. This might work out well for some of the students, but for others it
can be detrimental to their academic pursuance. It might lead them to develop
panic attacks which can affect their health and their concentration on other
important units.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"> The students should ensure that they take
measures to have control over their academics. When their lecturers tell them
that they have a test to undertake, they should </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">inquire</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"> from them the duration
of the test. They should also ask them about the length of the questions, and
the number of words which each question will require as an answer. This helps
the students to organize themselves adequately. This is because they can carry
out a mock exam by themselves in preparation for the main exam. This helps them
to become comfortable with their study skills, and more confident about their
academic abilities. The students can also lighten the burden of hurriedly studying
for an academic essay through early preparation. Instead of procrastinating
until the last minute to begin studying for the paper, they can study portions
of the unit as they progress in the semester. They can re-read the topics which
they have studied in class within the same week that the topic has been taught
in class by the lecturer. This helps the students recognize the topics which
they can easily understand and the ones which they can’t. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
students are able to plan their time accordingly when they are studying, by
allocating more time to the topics that they don’t understand. Students can
also use flash cards and mnemonic devices such as songs, poems, and others to
grasp the information they require for their essays. Students should also
remember that no man is an island, and they should ensure that they form study
groups with other students. This is in order to share knowledge and having
different aspects of the topic brought to light.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> There are so many things that a person that considers himself successful
in any field of life has had to do before getting to that level of life. There
is really so much that has been done-as it is said there is always so much
water that has gone under the bridge-but the underlying fact is that the person
in question has always had his eyes on the goal or target that he always looked
to achieve in life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> It is the same thing for
a student that desires to make it in life. There is really no issue of rocket science
for a person who wants to succeed because of the reason that everything that
comes does so because of hard-work and a desire to want to succeed. For a
student to be successful, he or she must first and foremost have a positive
attitude in what he is studying in campus. It really doesn’t add up if a person
doesn’t like what he studies in campus and yet he wants to be successful in<a href="" name="_GoBack"></a> life. Things just don't pan out that way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> If a student desires to
be successful he will also do well to think of doing things like balancing his
study habits by looking at all the subjects, attending all classes, attempting
all assignments as well as finding time for the social side of life too. It
will not be an easy thing per se, but I believe somehow that there is much that
can be done on that front if a person desires to be successful in campus as a
student. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> I am not a prophet or a prophet’s son or anybody close to that, but I
have been keen to notice that there is a theory that the world is going to end
by the close of 2012. I don't know how factual that is, but as a person that
has been involved in the media for quite a while I knew somehow that it could
be nothing more than hearsay and innuendo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> As a person
that has known how to maneuver his way around issues I know that there are
people who have believed that and they are doing all they can to prepare for
the same. If I was to assume that they were right there are so many things that
I could have probably done to prepare for the same, like I am sure some people
are preparing for that day. They are most probably making peace with their
neighbors and clearing debts among other things that they can do to prepare for
that day. The mischievous ones are doing random things like having fun for the
last periods.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Of course the definition of fun differs from person
to person, but I hope you get the point that I am attempting to drive across.
If I was to be among those who believe that the world is going to end soon I
could have done weirder things, much more than you can ever imagine, just in a
bid to survive and such like things. Nonetheless I am happy as things stand.</span><a href="" name="_GoBack"></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> One
of the biggest snags that always face students when they get to campus is the
issue of drawing budgets and following the same thereof to the latter. This is
more so for the case of students who have grown up in well-to-do families and
they have never known poverty. When such students get to college and they have
to do things on their own there is always bound to be a problem of sorts, if we
are reading from the same script.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> It is thus imperative that all
students learn of skills that they can employ in order to track their money in
college so that they are not caught off-guard in any way. As already mentioned
the best way that can be employed by a student and indeed anybody in general to
monitor his or her money is to make a budget. It is something that is always
taken for granted and many students always love to think that it is trivial but

to track their money in college is by investing the money into meaningful
ventures that can help in re-availing the money and indeed keeping the same for
a sunny day. The moral of the story is that everyone needs to be focused and
purposeful in heart when it comes to his or her money. Discipline is thus very
crucial because it ensures that a person can actually track his money without
any external pressure to do so. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> I
graduated from campus just two months ago but I must admit that I am missing it
so badly already. I miss college so much so that sometimes I always find myself
heading back to college over the weekends to hang out with a few of my friends
who are still in campus. I know many chaps may find that strange but I would
like to think that it is not strange at all, if you consider where I am coming
from.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> I am the type of girl who likes
partying like you cannot imagine and nothing else but that. When I was in
college I can’t remember any Friday evening where I stayed around in the
college premises. I was always out clubbing the whole night long and to me that
was the best lifestyle I could identify with. If you haven’t noted that
already, the main reason that makes me miss campus is the issue of the parties.
The parties were just too good and too nice to be left aside for any other
thing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> The most interesting thing about
college parties is that anybody could choose a theme for a party and it could
turn out to be a grand party, the anonymity of the party’s theme
notwithstanding. Apart from the normal themes like birthday parties, end-of-year
parties, engagement parties and so on, there were always other themes that bore
no names like ‘lack-of-name’ parties, laughter parties and such like things.
The themes were just very interesting, and I must admit that that is something
I will always miss from my college life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> There
are many things that make college life worthwhile, but none more so than the
issue of voting. Somebody once said that everybody’s mind is a political mind;
the only difference is the extent of the political nature in the person’s mind,
if you know what I mean. In realistic terms the point I am trying to put across
is that politics, voting and all that kind of malarkey is something that really
evokes a lot of interest in the lives of students in campus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">From
my experience in campus I know somehow that sometimes life is often so
difficult in the classroom sector that students always welcome any form of
distraction in their academic lives, even if that means focusing on the students
politics that is always quite as vibrant as the mainstream state politics. The
political period is always charged, so much so that it becomes very difficult
for the process to go on without a proper set of rules or guidelines.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Needless
to say it is important that the rules set are obeyed because in real sense what
is the point in having the voting guide if it will not be followed by the
people meant to follow it. Many times discipline issues arise when it comes to
the political period but I would love to think that that should never be the
case, if we are reading from the same page. The rules are to be followed and
students should help to foster peace with their wisdom or lack of it thereof. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For
a writer to remarkably present their unique point of view to the audience –
through their essay – they must be very creative. Creative writing of essays is
all about presenting uniqueness, in essay paragraphs, with a story or something
that will expand the writer’s creativity. Here are important tips on creative
writing of essa<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1820104797575139979" name="_GoBack"></a>ys.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Firstly,
decide what you want your essay to be about. In other words, choose a point of
view that seem interesting to you. It could be anything. Like say how you like
coffee to the First World War. Ensure however to have a purpose for your
writing. Make points all through your paper.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Present
your point in a thought-provoking way. Intriguing the readers mind should be
your ultimate goal. And nothing is more intriguing than writing using a
literary element. For instance, you could write a story using a metaphor. By
doing so, you will intrigue the reader. If not demonstrate your creativity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Let
your essay have an outline. If an essay, irrespective of its nature, lacks a
formidable structure; it practically lacks a proper plan as well. For you to
suitably unravel a story within an essay you must plan what information will go
where and at what point you will present it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Write
with your audience in mind. Creative essays are all about showing – the reader
– your point of view through less obvious means. To effectively court the
reader’s attention, create a thought-provoking opening sentence in your essay.
Let your introduction be more intriguing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Make
certain to summarize your essay. You could either come up with a paragraph or a
few pages to achieve this end. After showing the reader the creative reasoning
behind your point of view, formulating a catchy conclusion is necessary for an
outstanding finality. Suffice to say, creatively sum up your perspectives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For a busy admissions officer to accept
you, your college admission essay must be of the highest quality. It must stand
out like a sore thumb. But that is not all. It must also demonstrate your grasp
of excellent grammar and ability to write lucid and structured prose. In other
words, paint a vivid picture of your character and personality in your
admission essay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So what exactly are the secrets to
writing an outstanding admission essay? Firstly, write using your own voice.
And avoid using big and unnecessary words while at it. For your essay to compel
an admissions officer to accept you, avoid distracting words. Just be natural.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Be interesting. Otherwise you stand no chance to impress the
admissions officer, who – in most cases – has thousands of essays to skim
through. Start your essay with a thought-provoking sentence. Grip the reader’s
mind. Court their attention. And ensure to sound intriguing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Use personal details. Remarkable admission
essays should be gr</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">ounded in personal detail since they are supposed to sound concrete.
Your essay should not emphasize much on what you want to say. But rather, relate
to a personal quality. Use your experiences to make this possible.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In other words, let your words create a <a href="" name="_GoBack"></a>vivid image of something that actually happened. Place the
reader in your experiences to easily convince them of what you really want them
to see. While at it, desist from being vague with your sentences lest you
compromise your essay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Avoid wordiness. To save on valuable
space, shun from using unnecessary words when writing. Wordiness confuses not
only the reader, but also dilutes all the important points that you might have
aptly conveyed within the paper. Keep your words pithy and straight to the
point. Brief words are more forceful in nature, if not direct. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Education is described as the process of gaining
knowledge in a consistent and gradual manner in order to be informed on various
ways of communicating, reasoning and making decisions in different aspects of
life. It leads to intellectual growth and maturity. Since the beginning of
time, women have always been considered the weaker of the two sexes. Women were
discouraged from pursuing higher education because it was considered to be
un-wise culturally. Their roles were defined and confined to being in the
kitchen, taking care of their families and other traditional domestic skills
such as sewing. They were also involved in various farming activities in their
ranches like gathering fruits. It’s estimated that about two-thirds of the
world’s illiterate population are women.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Over the years since the beginning of the 19<sup>th</sup>
century, various international agreements have been passed in order for women
to gain equal rights to men especially in education. Women also develop personal
ambitions in various aspects of their lives such as having their own
businesses. The revenues and profits made from the businesses also leads to the
contribution of national development, growth of the economy and eradication of
poverty through taxation. Money collected by the government is used to improve
the country’s infrastructure and provide restoration to areas affected by
natural disasters for example during the devastating tornado called “Hurricane
Katrina” that destroyed properties in Atlanta.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Women have, for a long time, been perceived as being
leaders in their own homes, since they ensure that their families receive basic
necessities such as food and clothing. They also ensure that there is peace and
they resolve conflicts between family members such as sibling rivalry,
therefore promoting cohesiveness and positive communication between them.
Education therefore can propel women to be leaders in political institutions,
where they make decisions and policies thus making the institutions represent
both genders and performance improves significantly. For example Secretary of State,
Hillary Clinton has been involved in the political limelight for over eighteen
years.<b> <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Education has also instilled in women the need to
take care of their health and that of their families especially the children.
They tend to gain knowledge on family planning and therefore reduce the rate of
unwanted pregnancies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Gender issues have been receiving more attention. International
organizations such as the United Nations and other non-governmental
organizations are addressing policy and law changes that bias one gender over
another. They provide support for capacity building among women, which leads to

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Electronic portfolios create avenues for
teachers, students and institutions to interact without having to use newspapers,
letters and announcements. They afford students the opportunity to showcase
their talents, knowledge and abilities using the latest technology. This is
because electronic portfolios are able to support multimedia. Students can put
their information in the form of videos, images, sounds and other recordings. These
portfolios are able to attract potential employers, schools and sponsors. The
portfolios are also edited with ease providing an opportunity for the user to
update information regarding their portfolio anytime and anywhere.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The
creation of an electronic portfolio first requires a computer that is able to
handle multimedia work. Accessing your universities portfolio should be the
next step since most provide a space or fra<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1820104797575139979" name="_GoBack"></a>mework for
students to create a personal portfolio. An option to the university portfolio,
one can also use a recommendable job search service since they also offer
electronic portfolio services. In most cases the page has an insert here
instruction field. Ensure that you fill in the information in the correct
places as directed. The creation of a template is usually the first step
followed by inserting your graphics and videos in the correct sections. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Text
boxes should be created and attached to the next card in the portfolio. All the
necessary and important details should be entered, followed by a thorough
revision of the portfolio. Ensure you go through the portfolio for any mistakes
made in spelling or inserting information in the wrong slot. The texts should
use appropriate size and font while the images need to be of the best quality.
This is because some employers gauge your ability of using technology and
computers by the presentation of your electronic portfolio. Therefore it is
best if you not only create a portfolio, but a prefect portfolio. <o:p></o:p></span></div>margaret bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13020655467991572260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820104797575139979.post-3926410079599261512012-07-23T02:55:00.000-07:002012-07-23T02:55:13.248-07:00Writing Application College Essay<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Applying
to college is always every young man’s dream - ceteris paribus the young man
has the ability to think straight and set goals in life. To get to college,
especially the college of choice requires a special input from the
student-to-be. There are number of ways in which the youth can interact with
the college before he is formally accepted as a student in the institution, and
as a matter of fact he needs to give his all in all those encounters. He could
interact with the college administrators through an interview, curriculum vitae
or an application essay among other avenues. As much as the CV and interview
are equally important, the place of insistence should actually be the
application essay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> This is because this is the place
where the student can really say who he is and show the college administrators
why he needs to be in the institution and why it will be the biggest error in
history if he is not admitted there because of what the college would miss. Of
course the words used should be different, but the fact remains that the
student needs to make his presence felt in the 700 or so words he will be given
to write in. While writing the essay, care should be taken that the essay isn’t
converted into a list of achievements. As much as naming a few doesn’t break a
bone, it is wrong to list all of them. It makes the student appear creepy and
proud in a way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> The essay should also reveal your
personality and how sensitive you are to your community. College administrators
love this because it shows that you are an all rounded individual. A touch of
humor amidst all the seriousness employed in your essay is also not a bad idea
as it casts you as a likeable person. Finally, your essay needs to be free from
the common and indeed basic errors of punctuation and spelling. This is also
paramount as it reveals that you really mean what you say and that you took
your time to write the essay-which should be the case anyway.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiynFZbnulQ5wAHAovDgvnLXkP7-sUpvPcZ_gJtacJ8WseKyGyyGgSeG1VdDROitY8OLE4frpCzmsYOiadvyLjlKdCMvA_Du6SGfnW3JI1D2Ob_iYIdMeiCo0bDNh6Jlndm1nsfayfPTOio/s1600/Puzzle-pieces.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiynFZbnulQ5wAHAovDgvnLXkP7-sUpvPcZ_gJtacJ8WseKyGyyGgSeG1VdDROitY8OLE4frpCzmsYOiadvyLjlKdCMvA_Du6SGfnW3JI1D2Ob_iYIdMeiCo0bDNh6Jlndm1nsfayfPTOio/s320/Puzzle-pieces.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"> An essay<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1820104797575139979" name="_GoBack"></a> has a
simple structure that can be followed easily. Any essay consists of an
introduction, body and conclusion. Each of these contents of the structure carries
their own function.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Introduction</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"> This
is a very important part of the essay. It lures the reader into reading on to
the rest of the content. This part therefore requires being interesting and
witty. Here one should explain the topic of discussion. Complex vocabularies in
the topic should also be explained. It is in this part that the reader is
directed on what you will be writing about. This is by pointing out the topic
or area that the essay will be addressing. A thesis statement can also feature
in the introduction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Body</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"> The
body is made of paragraphs. The number of paragraphs is determined by the
length of the essay. Each paragraph should start with a topic sentence. The
rest of the paragraph is meant to support the topic sentence. This is by
explaining the evidence from research done on the topic sentence. The sentences
however require to be connected. This is done by linking words such as: in
light of this, hence, therefore. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Conclusion</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"> The
conclusion is the parting shot of the essay. The conclusion should not be very
long. However, it requires having a summary of the issues. If there was a
question that required an answer in the topic, it should be answered at this
point. A general conclusion of your argument can also appear in the conclusion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>margaret bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13020655467991572260noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820104797575139979.post-53137813299691237452012-06-15T04:20:00.000-07:002012-06-15T04:20:20.182-07:00The art of argumentative essays<br />

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> These
are essay types that give information about a certain subject or areas of
study. Their main purpose is to present information that is both sided, that
is, to provide the pros and cons of a particular subject. It makes the reader
to side with the favored side of the writer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Argumentative essay concentrates on winning the reader to their side of
story. It lets a person write about something with primary objective of making
the reader change his or her mind about something when it comes to choosing the
topics of argumentative essay, it’s not easy since the topic should always
be narrowed down. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>They should not be long and they
should point straight to the point. The topic itself should contain some
element of arguments in it, to make it easy for the person going to write it
down. On the other case, the topic chosen should provide a chance such that it
can be well supported, following a specific or outlined organization style.
Argumentative essay usually call for extensive and wide research which must be
followed according to the set rules and regulations. When writing these essays,
each paragraph must be limited to one idea and it should be discussed in
lengthy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The writer must provide information
which is well structured and most of all accurate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Argumentative essay cannot be applied to any
topic since as discussed earlier the topics need to be very specific and have
some elements of argument. The art of argumentative essay must clearly show the
defined structures of an argumentative essay. <o:p></o:p></span></div>margaret

write a scholarship easy, the task could never be exhausting. Many people dread writing these kinds f essays due to the fact that they are tough especially when compared with the one written for college admission. It is common for a college student to be required to write at least one essay for scholarship application. It is however important to know that despite the fact that it may be a difficult task, giving up just yet is not the most ideal thing to do. You must have been involved in other essay writing contests and if you have delivered in the past, be sure that you will be able to do it in this as well. You must have written a college application essay and if you were able to succeed in that, you will also do it here.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">
<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">One of the things that should motivate you when faced with the scholarship essay is the fact that you will be paid for it. This is contrary to what happened when you were writing a college application essay and therefore you should go for it. The scholarship committees look at the essays as a way of understanding the minds of the applicants and if you want their approval, then you must be able to express yourself well. The scholarship essays should take the pattern of the college essays but be original, honest, well written and be used to describe something important about you.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">
<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The essays should also be charming to the readers and arouse some care in them for the writer. You should utilize all the strategies that you have learnt over the years when writing other essays. Scholarship essays are good in that they afford you the option of writing on your favorite topic although some of them might require that you write on particular topics. Some of the organizations you are applying for the scholarship from could ask you to write an essay on a topic that is related with their work. You should therefore be prepared with enough information that demonstrates you knowledge in that very field.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">
<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The fact that the essays are shorter than the college essays should be of comfort to you. it is also good to know that they do not require a number of weeks for you to write and this could make them easy to write. It is good to make sure that you are focused when writing a scholarship essay. Remember it must be a winning essay.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">

Why? The writer has to efficiently present the details in a way that readers can clearly determine the similarities and differences of the two subjects. In this regard, there are several ways to write this compare and contrast essay.<br /><br />Apparently, the most important thing to consider in this type of essay is structure. There are many wonderful compare and contrast essays that fall victim to the woes of bad structure - making ingenuity futile.<br /><br />The rules on how to write a general essay is almost the same with the structure of a compare/contrast essay. To date, the following two formats are most likely the more applicable structures for such complex essay type:<br /><br /></div></span><ul><li><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Introduction.</strong> Generally it is a lead into the thesis statement.<br /></span></div></li><li><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Subject 1 discussion.</strong> Covers only the first subject of the comparison and contrast. Does not mention subject 2 in this first portion.<br /></span></div></li><li><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Subject 2 discussion.</strong> Does not discuss Subject 1 in this section. This portion of the paper is dedicated to presenting Subject 2 in great detail.<br /></span></div></li><li><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Subjects 1 and 2 discussion.</strong> This is the comprehensive analysis of both subjects in several paragraphs.<br /></span></div></li><li><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Conclusion.</strong> The conclusion is the generalization of the thesis.</span></div></li></ul><div align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">And…</span></strong></div><strong></strong><ul><li><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Introduction</strong>. Most likely a leading statement.<br /></span></div></li><li><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Comparisons of Subjects 1 and 2.</strong> This section tackles only all the similarities of the two topics. There must be at least three comparisons in which example from both topics of comparisons is given.<br /></span></div></li><li><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Contrasts of Subjects 1 and 2.</strong> This section function like the preceding part only that it does only contrasting points of the two topics.</span></div></li></ul><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></p><ul><li><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Conclusion.</strong> Evidently this part does the wrapping up everything in the paper.</span></div></li></ul><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">To efficiently write a compare and contrast essay its structure is crucial – it is because any confusion of the points of similarities or differences of the subjects will make the entire piece illogical.</span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></p>margaret bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13020655467991572260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820104797575139979.post-86882826739110289742008-06-29T23:37:00.000-07:002008-10-05T03:58:52.177-07:00Definition Essay: How to Define Effectively<p class="MsoNormal" style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Definition essay is a logical attempt of defining or explaining what a term means. While some words have definite, concrete meanings, others have abstract and subjective connotation. But what definition really works?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><?xml:namespace prefix = o /><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Choosing a definition is the key step in writing a good definition essay. It is an imperative that you fully understand the term to be defined. Whether t is something concrete or abstract, you need not to use mere dictionary meaning – personal and unique definition.</span></p><p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">It is also important to limit your term before starting to define it. For example, the term love is too broad to discuss. You must trim it down to specific like "platonic love" or "first love."</span></p><p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Here are some ways to effectively define a term:</span></p><p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><o:p></o:p></p><ul style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><b>Define by what the word does not mean.</b> Ironically, stating the opposite qualities of the term is a good way to build its true meaning. The “what it is not” distinction works because it clarifies the definition and helps readers to understand it better.</span></li></ul><ul style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana;" ><li><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><b>Define by the term’s function.</b> Explaining what the term does or how something works is a good take off for a definition essay.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><ul style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><b>Define by analysis.</b> Comparing and contrasting the term to other terms of its kind is another technique in defining. Sorting what different special characteristics that make the term stand out is a good definition method. <o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><p class="MsoNormal" style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Having a cohesive and clear-cut definition can only be achieved if you know what writing technique is best suitable. As it requires a personal perspective of the writer, definition essay is a great piece to panel out creativity.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><o:p></o:p></p>margaret bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13020655467991572260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820104797575139979.post-66303631894551086222008-06-24T00:36:00.000-07:002008-10-05T03:59:35.713-07:00Biggest Comparison Essay DON'T: Too Much Unnecessary Details<p class="ListContents" style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)"><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Comparison essay’s main goal is to provide a <b>sound and logical</b> relationship between the subjects.
