It is a honor to make such a prestigious achievement during my spring semester. I have worked very hard to accomplish this achievement and hard work does in fact pays off. This a example of what hard work can do if you put your mind to it and stay focus on the task at hand. I would like to thank my instructors for pushing me to go past my comfort zone and reach out to newer heights. This endeavor has made me realize that I can accomplish my dreams if I work hard and stay focus on what I need to do to accomplish them.





I will continue to work toward my dreams to see them come true, and thank God for all his Blessings that he has bestowed upon me. I would like to thank the Bainbridge College Faculty for recognizing my accomplishments.

Work Ethics- Appearance

Appearance:

The way that someone or something looks. An impression given by someone or something, although this may be misleading: the act or fact of appearing, as to the eye or mind or before the public.

Physical Appearance:

How can this affect your job? Your appearance is very important to most people. Your appearance speaks a lot about the person you are, and many people judge you by the way you look, act, speak, and dress. It is very important to be well groomed for your job.

Email Appearance:

Why do you need email etiquette? Because the company needs to implement etiquette rules for the following three reasons:

        • Professionalism: when using proper email language your company will
           convey a professional image.
        • Efficiency: emails that get to the point are more efficiencies than long unnecessary
           worded emails.
        • Protection from liability: Employees that are aware of the risk emails have on the            company will protect the company from law suits.

 Name five of the email etiquette rules? 

The rules of email etiquette are not "rules" in the sense that I will come after you if you don't follow them. They are guidelines that help avoid mistakes (like offending someone when you don't mean to) and misunderstandings (like being offended when you're not meant to). These core rules of email etiquette help us communicate better via email.

1. Take Another Look Before You Send a Message - Email Etiquette Rule

Don't send anything you don't want to send.

2. Do Not Default to "Reply All" - Email Etiquette Rule

"Reply" is good. "Reply to All" is better. Right?

 3. Keep Emails Short - Email Etiquette Rule

Do not intimidate recipients with too much text.

4. Properly Format Your Email Replies, and Be Lazy - Email Etiquette Rule

Do you think quoting original text in your email replies perfectly is a lot of work? Don't let the '>' intimidate you! Here's a very comfortable, relaxed, quick and still clean and compatible way to reply properly.

5. Write Perfect Subject Lines - Email Etiquette Rule

Do you make these mistakes in your email subjects? (The key to getting your messages read is not to be clever.)

Work Ethic-Leadership/Cooperation

Leadership/Cooperation:

Leadership: has been described as the “process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task". The leader may or may not have any formal authority. Students of leadership have produced theories involving traits,^[2] situational interaction, function, behavior, power, vision and values,^[3] charisma, and intelligence, among others.

10 Ways to Become a Better Leader and 

Improve Your Leadership Skills

Cooperation or co-operation: is the process of working or acting together. It is the alternative to working separately in competition. Cooperation is to help out or get involved, including others, encouraging, sharing, and working together.

Leadership and Cooperation work hand-in-hand to get

 the goal accomplished through the help of others.

Work Conflict:

A pull to another Hall, someone has to go to the Hall 2.

Leslie: I'm not going cause I went yesterday

Lillie: I'm not going, I took the last two pulls.

Nurse: I need to know the rules about the situation before I can sign off on you going.

Lillie: calls the supervisor and try to explain the situation.

Supervisor: who's going to hall 2, if Leslie didn't stay then it's not considered as a pull, so Leslie will have to go to hall 2.

Leslie: upset about the situation, but agreed to go to hall 2.

Leslie was pulled the day before and was sent back to her floor after about an hour later, so the supervisor said it was not a pull, and Leslie went to hall 2. It turned out to be a good night for Leslie after she went to hall 2. Sometimes conflicts arise in your work place, school, or home, just remember to keep a level head and be the bigger person and do what you can to help solve the conflict in an appropriate way.

Work Ethics Self-Esteem

Self-Esteem:

Self-esteem is a term in psychology to reflect a person's overall evaluation or appraisal of his or her own worth. 'The self-concept is what we think about the self; self-esteem, the positive or negative evaluation of the self, is how we feel about it'. ^[2] A person’s self-concept consists of the beliefs one has about oneself, one’s self perception, or, as Hamlyn (1983: 241) expresses it, “the picture of oneself

  

 How can we improve our self esteem?

• Focus on our achievements -  It doesn't matter what these achievements are only that they are important to you.
• Make plans for the future - Make a list of things you want to do or want to change and start thinking about how to make a start.  Then take a breath and just begin. You won't look back!
• What you like about yourself - if you have low self esteem you probably keep reflecting on the things you don't like about yourself but if you reverse this thinking it is much more helpful.
• What can you change that will make you feel better about yourself? There are two kinds of changes you may wish to focus on. The first are changes in your life and how you live it
• Accept yourself and who you are - there are many things about your personality and character and your life that you may not be able to change and that shouldn't hold you back. Learn to accept those things and understand why you can still be happy and feel good about yourself despite these things. Try saying - well at least I am reasonably well off or at least whatever you can think of that is positive. At least turns a negative into a positive.

Work Ethics- Character

CHARACTER

Character: the distinctive qualities of someone or something; moral strength. Your character says a lot about the person you are. Good character promotes well being with others. A strong character makes you a successful person in your accomplishments in life. 

I try to improve my character everyday of my life in handling life situation in a respectful way, so that it builds my character so that people will know by the way I present myself to them, that I am a person who they would love to know and share their lives with. 

Work Ethics- Respect

Respect:

Respect: a feeling of deep admiration for someone, something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. Respect shows you are concerned about other people feelings and their time. Respect is the ability to communicate with other people even if you disagree with their decisions. With respect you learn to agree and disagree and still have respect for your colleagues, friends, boss, instructors, and classmates.

I feel as though respect is earned by the way you respect other people. In order to get respect you got to give respect. I try to respect people the way I would like for them to respect me.
