ReplyDeleteThis image makes me think about new beginnings. This year I am starting to teach a class at Green River College. I am very excited about that, and I am looking forward to getting to know everyone in the class. I also feel that 2017 will be a new chance for becoming more organized. I am organized as far as scheduling and work goes, but I want to become more organized in my work areas; I want to organize both my desk files and computer files. This is a new habit that I need to remember to take time to do; I am going to put a weekly reminder on my calendar, "Pick up!" to help with that. For me, 2017 will also be a year of new explorations; there are so many new internet tools to learn how to use, and I want to see what they are like. Things that are useful for my students are always useful for myself as well. I feel like these new beginnings will help to make 2017 a fantastic year.

ReplyDelete2017 Is going to be filled with a lot of learning for me! I work for a leasing company in Federal Way; I have been there over 8 years, I work in the accounting department and have for over 5 years. My specialty is AP- accounts payable, I issue funds to vendors for equipment on our leases and services rendered. This year I have started to learn the AR- accounts receivable side of my department. Once I've learned that will come my promotion, my goal is by the end of the first quarter this year. I'm excited to learn new things in my department and here at GRCC. I am attending GRCC to get my GED so that I can go on to get my accounting degree for further advancement within my company. I look forward to the challenges that await me and getting to know my classmates. I am ready to learn new things in 2017.
Adrianna, You have so many useful skills and experience; getting the GED out of the way will allow you to really make the most of them. It looks like as an accountant the math portion shouldn't be to hard for you; it is great that you have incentive from your company to do this. I look forward to working with you this year!
DeleteHow's it going? Figured I'd get my intro out of the way. I decided after further life review, that I needed to take care of unfinished business (to sort of speak). I have decided to finish the 15 remaining credits for my HS diploma, and in the interim, complete the GED to get into a different Union that pays better and presents a more challenging and rewarding future. I took HS completion way back when and accumulated 33 college credits, and at the time should of finished...... Idiot!
ReplyDeleteHere's to a productive year, David; I would say your glass is half full, and all you need to do is fill it up; stumbling in the past is part of the process of growth; reminds me of the quote, "Good decisions come from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions." I really look forward to working with you in this class; here's to a great new year!
DeleteHi there! My name is Kattie:) This picture makes me think about new chapter of my life. Time to think about my future goals and plans. I hope, that 2017 will be more productive and satisfied for everybody. This year I will be looking forward to reaching bigger dreams and goals.I will work hard and will try to graduate GED program. I want to improve my English skills and continue my education at Green River Community college in autumn. I already have my Master degree from Russia. I used to work as a journalist there. My main resolution for 2017 is to become a successful mother. Also, I want to travel more than last year and visit Greece and Faroe Islands. Work hard and don't be afraid to fail! Good luck, everybody!
ReplyDeleteYou are certainly going to be busy this year, Kattie -- but it looks so fulfilling. We have so many students from other countries with degrees who just need to re-define themselves in our system; i wonder if you plan to go into a different field? Your positive attitude and determination are infectious; looking forward to working with you in this class!

DeleteHey everyone, my name is Kaylinn. This pictures gives me an opportunity to look forward to the new year with my new self and life adventures. One of those new adventures will be attending Green River Community College for my GED. Due to some life choices I made when I was younger I never got the chance to get my high school diploma. I had to start supporting myself when I was young, and sacrificed finishing school for getting more hours at work. Now that I have been working in the dog industry for 7 years and built up my experience level, I don't have to sacrifice doing either school or work, I can now do both. I have a flexible work schedule doing something that I love and also have time to focus on getting my GED and being able to finally accomplish a major goal of mine that I have pushed out for years. With that accomplishment I want to further my education in the business and dog industry and one day open my own dog daycare and boarding business, put my years of experience into having a career that I love.
ReplyDeleteKaylinn, Thanks for sharing your journey and goals here; the dog industry sounds super fun and also one that is going to grow. I pass by a doggy play area on my way to Green River and it is always busy and dogs are alway running around looking extremely happy. You have set yourself up for very achievable goals, and I look forward to working with you in this course to help achieve them.

ReplyDeleteMartin Luther King was a brave, charismatic, good-hearted, strong,religious man who had the courage to stand up for what he believed. He was a great activist and change the face of America. "The time is always right to do what is right", he said. I think, that is powerful words, which can help make our life, community, city, state and whole country more better. We just must believe in ourselves and make Right things. Martin Luther King Jr had a beautiful dream (love.peace.equal rights.freedom) and he was killed for it. The article about Martin Luther King Jr's life make me think about my father. My dad was fatally shot by drunk stranger at his workplace. I know, my father wasn't a great and famous person, who change the world. But for me he was the whole Universe, he has a strong personality and big heart and somebody cruelly took his life, as James Earl Ray took Martin Luther's King Jr's life.

ReplyDeletehello everyone! little late I know.
ReplyDeletethis image helps me think about what I want to accomplish as a student, mother, daughter in the new coming year. I want to finally pursue my education in the health care field once I have obtained my GED. with a new career under my belt I can provide for myself and my children the way one should as a single parent. I want to draw closer to my dad so he can witness right hand how well I can accomplish my goals and succeed in life.
