Time management is important in everyday life. Being on time is a very important and can lead to many accomplishments. These skills are important for my academic and personal life because not knowing how to communicate or manage your time effectively can lead to disappointments. All of the business classes that I’m completing at Walden University will help me prepare for my future career. Managing time effectively and communicating are important work of ethics with integrity. The student assistance program will help improve my time management skills. My instructors, classmates, and advisors can assist me in improving these skills also. Improving my communication skills is important because I will have to communicate effectively when running a business. I don’t speak well in front of others. Taking business classes will help me to see what it will be like in the real world with having a business. Customers expect you to have effective communication skills. When writing in APA format, I feel enticed. I would rather write a paper than to communicate because I get nervous at times when speaking face to face. APA format seemed difficult at first but now I have the hang of it. Whenever I run into problems, I ask my instructor and use the writing center. I am very pleased with academic integrity. Plagiarism is not tolerated. Whenever I use someone else’s work, I cite the source. Plagiarism can result in suspension from school. Time managing is a skill that I really need improvement on. For some reason, I am a procrastinator. I never do my work on time and that sometimes causes me disappointments. The library is very helpful to find work. I have been using the library every since around second grade. Using the computer use to be a problem, but I have gotten the hang of it now. The computer is a very helpful device, wouldn’t trade it for the world. Technology is very useful and helpful with computer networking. It is more advance, but yet helpful. I communicate via social networking a lot. I have met many helpful people via social networking from instructors, advisors, to classmates. I use many different sites to communicate on like myspace, skype, bebo, facebook, twitter, tagged, and the ning site. All of theses sites have helped me to find friends, family, and classmates. Via social network helps you to gain knowledge, along with furthering your education.
