Arizona Education

I am a Business (Supply Chain Management) major at arizona state university and am looking to stud abroad for 6 weeks this summer. The two programs I am looking into are:

Seoul, South Korea:
Korea University’s International Summer Campus (ISC) serves as an international hub for academic dialogue during summer - For Korean students, it is a gateway to experience quality education that prepares them for global leadership. For International students, it is an opportunity to learn about Korea and Korean culture, politics, economy and history. ISC opens the door to globalization and increases mutual understanding among people with diverse backgrounds.

ISC provides an opportunity to spend six weeks in one of Asia’s most dynamic cities, while taking courses alongside Koreans and other international students (taught in English) that will fit directly into an ASU degree.

Sao Paulo, Brazil:
This program will focus on doing business in Brazil with a special emphasis on building cross-cultural relationships in the Brazilian context. Students will have several lectures in English from the Brazilian faculty members of IBMEC and lectures from Dr. Jane Carey of ASU. There will be visits to Brazilian companies including Unibanco and a model farm and Brazilian cultural venues in Sao Paulo. There is also an outing to Barro do Sahy which is a resort area near Sao Paulo

Brazil, because right now america is treading heavy water with the koreas

I am running for Congress in Arizona, I am a Cardiovascular/Thoracic surgeon and business executive with Morgan Stanley. I went to med school at Harvard and Yale and Princeton respectively for my undergraduate and graduate education in Physics. I am a retired Navy SEAL Officer who served with the elite Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) in Haiti, Grenada and Panama. I am a fiscally conservative Reagan Democrat who is running as a Republican.

-I favor across-the-board tax cuts
-I oppose gay marriage but favor civil unions
-I am pro-life except in cases of rape or the mother’s life being in danger
-I oppose the stimulus
-I oppose teaching intelligent design
-I support the troops
-I support free trade
-I oppose the Public Option

Do physicists really get to perform cardiovascular and thoracic surgery?

You must be older than McCain.

When I think of the world, there is no end, I either think of issues the world is taking, how other countries are, is there someone else like me out there, or just imply my world. The way Im living now is not so great for my parents, employment is cutting down short, so that means there is no work for my dad. My mom either works with my dad or is a housewife. So when it comes to tell them what I want it is a little hard. I have another side of me that’s really close and special, who is my twin sister Celene. So our parents have two to take care of us for now. I don’t only have Celene, from my mom’s side I have an older sister name Marisa who lives in Guadalajara Mex. and an older brother name Christian who lives n Phoenix Arizona with his wife and daughter. We recently visited me sister in the summer and had a lot of fun at the beach with her.
At time it would be awkward for my sister and I because my mom at time would treat her special because its her first born child and because she left her when she was 11 years old and my brother was about 4-5 years old. She left them in good hands, my grandparents, then she decide to come here to America. As for my brother we visit him about once or twice a year but he visits us constantly, so its okay. There is sort of issues with my mom and him about my niece, about him and his wife not speaking in Spanish to my niece. My mom thinks its very important for her grandchild to speak Spanish because it comes from generations and because it’s the responsibility for my brother and my sister in law to teach its to her. At the same time I know that my mom is able to understand English speaking but she would prefer for Eva my niece to speak Spanish. Finally on my father’s side I also have a brother Fernando and a sister Merari. My brother just recently got to America about 3 years ago and in the other hand my sister lives in Guatemala and she’s married and has children around my age.
As for my community and where I live in, isn’t that much different to what I see in other cities and countries. For example, the part of LA that I live in is known as South Central. My neighborhood is quite and at times it is violent but I never been part of those situations where authority has been involved. Its usually all the other kids that have everyone going crazy in my community. When outsiders come to the community they see run down environments and just judge us by how they see the surroundings. If you want to apply for a job they see everything right like your applications and your personal letter, but the other thing they see it is your color and ethnicity. They think that being minority you might not qualify for a job. This also happens in other countries like our fellow neighbor Mexico, GDL has some slight discrimination too even though everyone there has the same skin color they basically are based on your financial status, physical appearance, and in what class you are in ( middle, low, etc). People don’t notice this but it is true.
Lastly, my education has been on top of things. At first, I thought high school was going to mess me up but it didn’t. I just got better in what Im good doing. My parents had enrolled me in a new green dot charter school which at first didn’t wanted to attend but then I used to it. Then the idea of being the first graduating class of their school would be awesome. Plus, the school was mostly about creating anything you wanted or being the first at what your good doing. Sports is my specialty, I love being active, challenging and just having fun outdoors. When I was younger my first sport was basketball and then I began playing any sports that were offered. I remember me and sister had inspired my fifth grade teacher, and she said she wishes seeing us in the Olympics someday like Serena and Venus Williams. I will never forget that, that saying just inspired me more, and giving me more choices in life. Since then on, coaches just see me and my sister like all surprised. They see us like all stars because any sport that they put in front of us, we are just prefect in doing.

This needs a lot of work. It is rambling and their are grammar errors. I can’t even tell what the original question was.

You need a thesis statement. Something that describes the whole essay. If the essay is supposed to be about how the world you live in has shaped your goals, you need to say that. You also need to include your goals and not just talk about how you are good at tennis and where your sister lives.

This "When I think of the world, there is no end, I either think of issues the world is taking, how other countries are, is there someone else like me out there, or just imply my world." has no connection to the rest of the essay, which is about your family. It does not belong.

I know this is just a draft, but it should have been spell checked.

You have way too many sentences beginning with "So" and "At." It is too repetitive.

I have absolutely no idea what this means "Lastly, my education has been on top of things."

You need to do some work on this essay. Try to improve it with my suggestions. Then go ask your English teacher for feedback. If you current English teacher can’t give you feedback, ask a former teacher. This essay needs significant work.

The type of learning you want to get into and what age group you want to be an aide/teacher for is important in your decision process, along with what "you" are interested in overall and what you are good at. AA and AAEE are likely your best approaches based on your list above, but 2008 - 2009 Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) - A, B, S is also a viable option.

Can somebody explain to me what is going on with the President Obama and Pittsburgh? Follow this…

#1- He chooses Pittsburgh to host the G-20

#2- He is meeting REGULARLY with UPMC (University Of Pittsburgh
Medical Center) officials who continue to be the fastest growing
healthcare titan in the world right now.

#3- Pittsburgh National City bank got a host of special earmarks in
the bailout package that has vaulted it to America’s 4th largest
bank out of left field.

#4- He named Steelers’ president Dan Rooney, Ambassador Of Ireland.

#5- He outwardly chose Pittsburgh over Arizona in the Super Bowl.

#6- He is actively pushing for Pittsburgh’s consideration for the 2020
Summer Olympics.

#7- He just steered Bill Gates to approve Pittsburgh for the Gates
Foundations’ biggest education grant to date.

#8- He is championing the Heinz Foundation’s EXORBITANT
Riverbank LED Lighting project which would illuminate the banks
of the Three Rivers at night with ever-changing technicolor
10 foot LED Lighting Tubes based on how much solar power they
gathered throughout the day….to the tune of 11 million dollars.

The rumor according to the Pittsburgh press, is that Obama is in bed
with money the Heinz Foundation for reelection in 2012 in Pennsylvania (a state a democrat MUST win). Another more outlandish theory, is that Pittsburgh has long been rumored to be the secret American center for The Illuminatti since the collusion of Andrew Carnegie, Andrew Mellon, the Benedum Family, and the Frick Family in the 1800’s, and that there is some vague debts owed to Pittsburgh in the election of him. I don’t buy those type of conspiracies, but I’ll say this….

…there’s something fishy about why Pittsburgh has essentially become this administration’s pet-project at every turn….ESPECIALLY when cities like Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Dayton, Youngstown, New Orleans, Columbia SC, Charleston WV, and on and on….are in FAR worse shape than Pittsburgh whose actually emerged as a pretty nice city in the last 20 years.

…that makes me wonder what the motivation is…and i’m not the only one wondering this…even the drudgereport had a blurb about what seems to be a mystifying funnelling of money from the Obama administration to the city of pittsburgh, for reasons nobody has figured out yet.

But they will…trust me on that…something is going on here, and it will become a major story in the not so distant future.

There is nothing there,,,could have been your city.

Brenda Combs is a symbol of inspiration and perseverance to all who meet her. Fewer than 12 years ago, she was a homeless crack addict, a petty criminal, a gaunt and hopeless wreck who had been shot and beaten and raped during the endless years she called a freeway underpass in the worst part of Phoenix home. It took hitting rock bottom for Combs to find the strength to turn her life around, on a blistering summer day.

As a woman who at one time could not help herself, Combs now spreads a message of hope wherever she goes. Her journey has not been an easy one, however. Growing up in a middle-class family in Northern Arizona, she fell into a bad crowd, began using drugs, and dropped out of school. Her life continued on a downward spiral, leading to her serving jail time and becoming homeless. During her darkest days on the streets, she endured unspeakable trauma, including being beaten, shot and raped.

Her journey, which has been called From Homeless to Hero by local media, has received tremendous national coverage, including an article in Readers Digest and interviews on The Today Show and on CNN News. She has also appeared on radio talk shows across the country, and invited to sing and share her message at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC.

If I can do it anybody can do it. I believe in myself and my ability to do my best. Im intelligent and Im capable of achieving greatness. I think every person has inside of them what it takes to succeed. The day I woke up on the streets and someone had stolen the shoes off my feet, was the day I knew I had to change my life. I knew God had a better plan for my life than this.

Combs began taking major steps to re-enter society as a productive individual. She entered rehab and worked hard to overcome her addictions. While living in a halfway house, Combs took a part-time job at a school located in an at-risk neighborhood not far from the streets that had been her home. As she worked with these special children, she knew she had found her lifes calling to teach and to inspire by sharing her own story of overcoming tremendous obstacles.

Once she set her sights on becoming a teacher, there was no stopping her. As a single mother of a young son, she juggled three jobs while earning a bachelors degree in Human Services. She taught at a school for children with special needs, and continued to pursue her education at Grand Canyon University (GCU), where she earned a masters degree in Education in 2007. Today, she is pursuing a Doctorate in Education Organizational Leadership under a scholarship presented to her by GCU, becoming one their first doctoral students. She travels around the country sharing her story as GCUs Ambassador of Inspiration & Achievement with a variety of audiences, including youth groups, churches, and professional organizations.
