From the Paper
"My upbringing has been such that work ethic has been ingrained in me. I have worked since I was 16, and even now have a job while studying, although I don't need to work but I feel that it helps me in achieving my ultimate goal of becoming an entrepreneur, for this I have always worked with small family run businesses and I have been working with one for the past 4 years. Compared to large chain stores or other corporations I think this job has given me an insight into many things, which would not have been accessible, and I would not have been able to experience first hand, this hands-on experience is different because the owners put me in different areas of work every few days, so at this point I virtually feel that I can run it my self even now."

Abstract
For the nurse, there can be little doubt that the primary function is to provide the best care possible within the limits of policy, practice and ability. To that end, there are limits to what a person can provide and the self, not the institution, determines those. Over the next five years, I will be embarking upon and completing a journey, the end of which will find me in a hospital or clinical setting as a nurse with direct impact and influence upon the outcome of treatment. It will be my responsibility to provide the best care possible, to be aware of the needs of the setting, the physicians and the patient and to be able to balance all of those in my actions. I will be responsible for compartmentalizing my day, my life and all of the demands of the job so that I may remain focused upon the tasks at hand. It will also be an imperative to function fully within the team environment and to be a complete and active member in that team. Finally, it will be incumbent upon me to never stop learning about my practice and craft. It is for these reasons that the development of personal goals is so significant.

From the Paper
"My undergraduate degree is in Computer Science and my graduate degree is in Electronic Commerce. My chosen specialization will enable me to learn how to better combine effective online teaching techniques with my computer science background. My degree in electronic commerce will also give me additional background in marketing online learning experiences to students, and matching the needs of the customer, in this case the student, to the product. Furthermore, as many online students are choosing to gain degrees in my graduate field, I will have additional experience in using my knowledge to create effective curriculums."
"As well as receiving an education in these disciplines relevant to my desired degree, I have worked as a teacher myself and taught high school students academic math and critical thinking."

Abstract
This paper explains that fitness goals might include reducing body fat, gaining muscle and strengthening the heart. To reach these targets, a personal trainer creates a workout incorporating resistance training, cardio-vascular exercises or both. The author stresses that, before performing any type of workout, the individual must find his or her target heart rate, the heart beats per minutes, which must be sustained to achieve optimal gains in fat loss and cardio-improvement. The paper describes the three stages to cardiovascular exercise: Warm up, which is a slow jog or jumping rope for at least five minutes at a low intensity of about fifty to sixty percent of the maximum heart rate; stretch to prevent injuries and to improve muscular performance and cool down, which is similar to the warm up and should last at least five minutes.
From the Paper
"Knowledge of proper movement and exercise in strength training must be in the personal trainers and athlete's arsenal of information. Athletes should perform a full range of motion with each lift and exercise. Jerking, bouncing, or swinging are often symptoms of lifters lifting too much weight. Each exercise should be done slowly and controlled. Full range motion helps build muscle strength and joint flexibility. Lifters should always try to increase resistance to achieve more gains. Also, after each set, lifters should increase the weight and lower the amount of repetitions. This concept is to increase the resistance and decrease the reps. Appropriate movement during lifts maximizes benefits and decrease risk of injury."

Personal and Professional Growth, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that a philosophy, which believes life is a learning experience, plays a pivotal role in an individual being able to engage continuously in self-development and growth, both personally and professionally. The author points out that motivation needs to be accompanied by conscious goal-setting if it is to lead to constructive personal and professional growth. The paper relates that, since an individual?s level of motivation also depends on external factors, it is important for a ?super leader? to focus on facilitating internal change and an environment that encourages achievement.
From the Paper
"In addition, it is important to bear in mind that the socicultural approach sees cognitive activity and motivation as socially constructed. This implies that while a cognitive approach to motivation can be used in determining an individual?s self-regulated behavior, any leader who wishes to positively influence others, would necessarily have to also apply the understanding that motivation hinges on social negotiation and distribution as well. This implies that it is necessary to work with others? views, needs, desires and contexts, and consider these when attempting to encourage them."

From the Paper
"Many of my goals are focused on improving both my academic and long-term professional employment. I consider improving my communication skills to be one of my most important goals. There are courses where communication skills can be addressed by sensitivity training offered through the colleges and universities and I intend on taking one. Communication skills are extremely important in today's interconnected society and economy. Not only are individuals the world over now able to communicate instantaneously with each other without much effort or expense but organizations now have the ability to create teams and workgroups that communicate seamlessly with each other across regions, time zones, and other barriers. These developments have elevated the importance of communication as a skill, a competency and a goal for individuals to achieve because it is now considered a necessity rather than a nice attribute."

A Personal Theory of Counseling, 2008.
Discusses the author's personal theory of and approach to counseling.
2,775 words (approx. 11.1 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 82.95
»

Abstract
This paper explains that the development of a personal theory of counseling is an important aspect of becoming a helping professional. The author points out that a personal theory is in itself a process and a tool, which the counselor uses to evaluate the client and his needs and and assess his own effectiveness as a helping professional. The paper relates that the author's own personal philosophy is influenced greatly by the phenomenological and humanistic approaches espoused by Alfred Adler and the existentialists and by the cognitive influences, especially appraisal, choice and responsibility as described by A. Ellis and W. Glasser. The author underscores that the fundamental goal of therapy is not necessarily symptom relief but rather identifying and exploring mistaken goals and ineffective values so that clients can make choices that are more congruent with their true selves.

"Although I believe that humans have strong biological determinants with regard to personality, behavior, thought, and affect, I feel that the complexities of the mind transcend our innate composition such that we can function as unique, healthy, and adaptive individuals in both our internal and external worlds. Unfortunately, we sometimes get side-tracked from living up to our human potential, and our biological determinants then become more dominant. To be human is to be complex."

Adlerian Theory and Its Personal Application, 2007.
This paper looks at Alfred Adler's theory of psychology, personality and development.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that Alfred Adler argued, intriguingly, that all motivation is a product of a singular drive to achieve individual perfection or a personal ideal. The writer notes that this approach to psychological motivation and development has its critics, largely because few believe that achieving such an ideal is even remotely possible. Further, the writer points out that worse, many people who struggle towards perfection are left frustrated and depressed when they find they cannot achieve their goal, despite their best efforts. On a personal note it is related that the writer has been motivated to transcend the limitations of the past and make a better, more fulfilling life, in the truest tradition of Alfred Adler.
Journal Entry: Adlerian Theory and Its Personal Application
Journal Entry: An Adlerian Perspective
From the Paper
"Adler also differed from other psychologists of the day - and today -because of where he placed his focus and emphasis in studying individual motivation. Other theorists see motivation as the product of one's past. In other words, if an individual experiences Event A during childhood, then we should expect that that individual would perform Behavior B as an adult. This is one approach to the question of a motivation's origins. Adler, however, advocated teleology, which states that motivation is the act of moving towards the future, not being mechanically driven by the events of the past. Teleology is future-oriented and requires an individual to concede that while life may be hard or uncertain, one always has the ability to make choices that will change the nature of that life. Adler, then, saw motivation as a function of an individual's desire to achieve a particular goal, not simply as the product of past events beyond the individual's control. This differing perspective places a greater emphasis on the free agency of the individual to take control of his or her life and change it for the better."

Estate Planning
From the Paper
"We highly recommend that both of you see a lawyer and prepare your wills immediately (see Appendix 20). We feel the key issues for you in estate planning will be taxation and beneficiary designation. Without wills, if one of you passes suddenly, half of the house belonging to the deceased spouse will pass in ownership to the children, if you own such properties as tenants in common. As they are quite young, this means that any decisions regarding the house will have to be dealt with through a trustee. We suggest registering legal ownership of assets such as the house as "joint tenants" so that the entire asset passes to the surviving spouse. In case of a common disaster, it is imperative that you appoint both a guardian and trustee for your children; it is extremely important to choose people whom you trust and not to assign both responsibilities to one person. The guardian should share the same values as you and the trustee should be adept at managing money. It should be stipulated in your wills that if you both die before the children reach a certain age (i.e. 25) all assets left to them be held in trust so they can become mature enough to handle such large sums of money."

Abstract
This paper discusses the author's decision to return to college in middle age. The essay looks at the brand new start at college, the process of learning and personal, professional and educational goals. The author describes his reasons behinds each decision and how these decisions have affected him.
From the Paper
"Returning to college was a big decision. There were many challenges ahead. One needed to plan all carefully in the goal-setting paper. Most of all, the struggle throughout the personal search during the program was a big obligation to perform.
Just like someone who decided to make a turn on a drive route, taking a second chance in the education might not be everyone?s choice to make a leap for the future. It applied especially for one who was in the senior age, who had gone through the best and the worst part of life and was supposed to do harvesting from his or her early workforce day."

Abstract
This paper provides a personal statement regarding the desire to undertake a Master's degree at Springfield College. The writer discusses his desire to help others and how this has led him to pursue further education that would help him to further his goals. It discusses the benefits of undertaking his Master's at Springfield College which has shown itself to be committed to the humanities.
From the Paper
"It may seem that I could meet my personal, educational, and professional goals through any Masters at any university. However, I believe that Springfield College would provide me with opportunities that are unavailable at other institutions. I am extremely impressed with Springfield's commitment to the service of humanity, and believe that I will find myself surrounded by others like me, who have an innate need to help other people. I feel that the graduate programs of many other schools emphasize academia and research, rather than the application of existing knowledge to better humankind. I am not interested in that aspect of my field, but, instead, want to apply psychology to help people. I believe that Springfield's emphasis on practical experience, including volunteer work, will provide me with the opportunity to create a practical and helpful foundation in my field. I am also impressed with the credentials of Springfield's faculty, and I believe that, under them, I will be able to meet influential and helpful people in my field. Hopefully, my educational experience will help me meet the contacts that I will need to really help people, and perhaps even begin the pilot educational and counseling program, which I described in my professional goals. Finally, I am impressed that all of Springfield's Master's programs, regardless of discipline, focus on the helping professions. I feel as if I will be in the right place to learn skills from other disciplines, if my education, laboratory, and volunteer experience reveal a gap in my knowledge."

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the role that emotional intelligence plays in a person's academic, professional and personal success. This paper thus examines the role that emotional intelligence plays in the attainment of personal and professional goals. The first part of this paper gives an overview of the concept of "emotional intelligence." It looks at the history of the concept and discusses the various components that make up emotional intelligence. This part also looks at how the concept has evolved in the past 15 years.The next part of this paper then looks at the correlations between emotional intelligence and academic success. It looks at studies showing how emotional intelligence is an intrinsic component of success in schools. In the final part, this paper assesses the growing importance of emotional intelligence in professional success, with emphasis on the corporate world. This paper further argues that all professionals who eventually hope to occupy positions in authority should make a point to develop their social and emotional intelligence skills, in addition to the competencies that are expressly required by the job.

From the Paper
"For those who are already working in organizations, Lynn (2004) suggests that companies build training programs that are geared towards specific emotional intelligence competencies. Techniques like role-playing, simulations and other interactive methods can help employees enhance their interpersonal skills, such as managing emotion and the effective ways of motivation and establishing rapport. While such training will represent initial investment of resources, many psychologists agree that these programs will pay off in terms of higher productivity, higher levels of employee satisfaction and higher retention."
