Since the beginning of the Fall semester, many aspect of life have changes. I finally feel as though I have laid a concrete foundation in my college career. Mainly the connection between my mentor and I has grown. I feel as though eh is a reliable source to call in time of need. He even helped me apply for a job at a local restaurant. As far as the skills he is teaching me in business communication, I feel as though he emphasis the idea of staying up to date with all of his mentee. He displays the the clairvoyance as a mentor should. I feel as though this is the main skill he is teaching me. The second skill my mentor is endowing me with is the ability to keep phone conversations that are business related, strictly business. The characteristics in which my mentor talks on the phone is very clear, concise, and to the point. Whether Mr. Ralph is discussing business briefs over the phone or trying to keep in touch with an associate, his phone conversation remain business like. Moreover, this seems to work in his favor. Phone conversations become less extensive, less persoanl, and more to the point. I will remember this skill when talking on the phone with future employers or with future business associates.
As far as a carrer goes, I believe I am set for my future. In my current accounting class, Professor Maine has sent out many e-mails involving different oppurtunities that accounting has to offer. From careers in the SEC to owning my own accounting firm, I have a wide range of of oppurtunities at my desposal. In specific, I would like to be involved in the process of merges and aquisitions. After I receieve my undergraduate degress in accounting and pass my CPA exam, i plan on attending law school. After which, I plan on working my way up the economic chain to eventually be involved in the process of mergers and aquisitions.
As a New Orleans Native, I have been to many Mardi Gras's. I have almost experienced everything that Mardi Gras has to offer. From sleeping on a couch in a U-hual van on St.Charles Street to be being thrown up on by a drunken friend, I have experienced many activities during the Mardi Gras holiday. As far as this Mardi Gras, I would to experience outsider reactions ot the activities that Mardi Gras has to offer. I find it very interesting that those who have never experienced Mardi Gras act differently from the locals. However, the one thing i would not like to experience during Mardi Gras is being a mediator in a fight. In many years pass, I have often been the voice of reason had fights tend to arise during Mardi Gras. From threats with a beer bottle to full-blown death threats, I have always had to calm someone down before the are tackled and driven away in handcuffs. This Mardi Gras i hope everyone enjoys the true spirit of being in New Orleans. Moreover, Mardi Gras is important to New Orleans because it represents the essence of New Orleans. From the floats dictating the current crisis in the city to the people wanting to relax and have a good time, Mardi Gras describes what New Orleans is really about. Mardi Gras is New Orleans....
