Activity 1 : Life’s Passion?

Shannon: My passion is learning. Learning in all forms or fashions...my own, my kids', other peoples' kids, education policy. I love learning new things, and would not be surprised if I'm still in college when I'm 80! I've self-taught myself multiple computer programs from my previous role as an Instructional Designer, and would actively seek out new software or technology that could be leveraged for learning. Currently, I'm pursuing my teaching certifications so that I can teach junior high/high school English and Social Studies, and hope to further that with administrative licensing in the future. When I'm not Googling something, reading, or watching the History Channel, I love to debate education policy and reform. That is what really jazzes me...talking about creative solutions and how to improve learning for all K-12 and college level learners. You'll often find me debating education policy on Facebook! Learning excites me, it motivates me, and drives me to make changes in my life that enable me to help others learn and grow.

John: would have to say my passion is learning as well. I am currently enrolled in 8 courses. Most of these courses deal with computers or math in one sense or another. These courses currently cost me zero dollars and are taught for free at edx.org and coursera.org. When I discovered the world of MOOC (Massive Online Open Classroom) it opened up a whole new world of opportunity not only to myself but to millions of people around the globe. For those of you wishing to study culture, edx.org currently has several self-paced courses that bring you right inside the Harvard library which is one of the most influential libraries in the world. For those of you that wish to study math/programming, coursera is offering a course on Matlab staring Monday. A passing grade earns a certificate along with a license of the Matlab software. Any of you that have not heard of this and are interested, happy learning!

Francie: My passion is to empower people to discover their God-given potential in ways that bring deeper self-realization with a focus on serving others. I’m blessed to be able to fulfill this passion currently in my teaching career and formally as a professional performer. I think the most satisfying experience in this area has been to see this occurring with my husband and two children. It is an on-going process that has kept its luster & fascination throughout the years.

Joyce:

Aside from my passion/ mastery in sales and marketing which I was trained, I'am also passionate about creative writing. I often sleep late at night making short poems, letters to my dearest family and short stories for my kids. I love locking my self in a room alone with a piece of paper, newly sharpened pencil and a loads of words in my head. Finishing a composition satisfies my soul and give me a bunch of self fulfillment.

Joylyn: For me, my passion is working, the choice of career I had pursued in my life, and my own journey through learning. Being a career woman, a wife, a working mother of 2 kids and a tutor, everyday is a challenge...everyday is experience...and learning new things we encountered in our life. Like joining a triangle in Lifebushido, and already now a member of newly formed triangle, this challenged me a lot... motivates me to work well in the group, and the enthusiasm to pursue a fulfilling career. Have a great day everyone.

Emily: I would say an area that I am passionate about would be people. I've always been able to communicate with others very well because not only can I speak well but I listen, too. I really enjoyed working in the care field because my job was to build friendships and learn about people. I have always been openly compassionate and genuinely interested in how people feel and what people have to say.

I would say challenges that encourage me to think outside the box or use my hands to create something make me feel especially creative. I love any project where I can not only use my creativity but challenge it, too.

Activity 2 – Perfect Job Paragraph

Shannon: My perfect job will challenge me. I don't like to stagnate, and always want to be learning. I will be surrounded by co-workers who care about doing their best, share a vision, support each other, and from whom I can learn new things. My perfect job will be meaningful, and I will be appreciated for my contributions. Working from home with a flexible schedule is bonus.

Emily : When I think of conditions for my perfect job, I first imagine the ability to work from home to be able to stay with my son. That being said, flexibility in hours in a must. Next, I would want a position that constantly challenges me. Being required to always do the same thing is too simple and bores me. I need creativity and fun. Next would be to work with people so I could be social. Lastly, I would want opportunities to advance my skills and position within the company. Thus, these are the requirements for my perfect job. :)

John : My perfect job would start off with the following: "Latham, number 24 is back at his own goal line to receive the kickoff for the Miami Dolphins". Now back to the real world. Involvement in the education field in one of two capacities or both: Development of instructional material along with instructor/teaching of the same.

Francie: <span style="font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; font-size: 14.66px;">The perfect job is one that utilizes my 3 top skills and gives me an opportunity to develop my business experience, fits in well with my half-time work schedule and will allow me to grow in multiple areas.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; font-size: 14.66px;">Organization – People & Projects;
 * <span style="font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; font-size: 14.66px;">Creative;
 * <span style="font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; font-size: 14.66px;">Real Estate

<span style="font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; font-size: 14.66px;">Joylyn: The perfect job for me is a job that gives me an opportunity to use my knowledge and specific skills learned from school, and in the choice of career I'd pursued in my life, and that will be useful for the company. Being able to work for Lifebushido in flexible time,( afternoon & night time) in the cozy place at home, as the perfect environment, spending time & resources in a meaningful way, earn well, and add extra income for my family. It is a job that I passionately wanted to do as much as possible, & spending my time doing something that's easy & will make me feel happy, fulfilled and satisfied. The job that educates me to new ideas and techniques to be more effective in achieving my goals in life. To be more specific, it's more on my skills in Finance, Accounting, Administrative and Database Management, wherein I enjoy doing things when it comes to numbers, balancing accounts, resolve discrepancies, & finding solutions to specific problems.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;">Narender: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">A perfect job for me is a job that requires my total attention and still I want to give it more. A job where Monday seems to be exciting each week. It should include a good salary, people and location.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">Also I love travelling so I would prefer a job where I get to travel often and interact with new people. At last I would like a job where I get to learn something awesome every day.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;">John : My perfect job would start off with the following: "Latham, number 24 is back at his own goal line to receive the kickoff for the Miami Dolphins". Now back to the real world. Involvement in the education field in one of two capacities or both: Development of instructional material along with instructor/teaching of the same.

Activity 6 - Unique Talents

Shannon:

I love strategy and creative solution-finding, which includes connecting the dots on information from various sources, evaluating historical context and personal experience, and using it for decision-making. I learn new things quickly and enjoy helping others learn, applying instructional strategies, etc. I'm an early adopter of technology and can break down complex topics into easy-to-understand pieces, organizing information. This ties in with my love of reading and creative writing, persuasive writing, debate/arguments. I like to cut through the clutter and create efficiencies.

Emily Foster - Triangle- United Fusion- Unique Talents I would say the strength of my imagination is my unique talent. Imagination is something I havebeen taught to embrace ion myself and value very highly. I have always been into different kinds of creative oulets like jewlery making, drawing, singing and writing music. I am at my happiest when I am able to express my creativity and would love to have a career where I could be artsy every day. I see my best results in work where I was able to let my imagination work as a tool to problem solve and see objectives from different angles. I am also a born communicater and have always been able to easilyrelate with others as well as them to relate to me. I'm friendly and love making friends and love being social and just generally love people. I am strongest working on my own but have always greatly appreciated feedback from others because itpushes me to push myself. I am a very posative and fun loving girl who's silly persona brings a smile to everyones face but I am also very genuine and caring and have literally taken the shirt off my back for another. Another trait I pride in myself is my sense of work-ethic and dedication. As a manager I love to have fun but also expect my employees to get their job done which has always made me very likeable and respected. I am a team player so I do my work load, plus some whenever is neccessary. I am dependable, ambitious and responsible and because of this am driven to find a career where I am able to learn and grow not only as a worker but as a person. Organization is another thing that I am good at but also enjoy doing. I like to make sure things are together and make sense so people can find them easily and remember where they are. I like making lists and tables for work and in my every day life. It keeps me on track and helps me to accomplish everything in the time given. I am an outgoing, charismatic, bubbly and passionate individual who's mission in life is to strive to better myself for my family, myself and the world. I think I am a unique person who has a lot to offer in many different ways and has the potential to make a big impact on the those around me. Going through this experience has taught me so much about myself and what others think of me and how alike all of it was. I knew I was driven but this gave me a new challenge in life. I knew I was creative but this gave me a new way to think outside the box. I knew I was a good commuinicator but this pushed me to communicate in a way I was not as experienced with. Even if I'm not hired into Lifebushido this challenge has given me so much more. It awakened a lot of me I think had been fast asleep and lit a fire in me to go back to school.

John :

My Unique Talent is organization. This enables me to accomplish things in much less time than average. I seldom have a sticky note up and don't need a todo list to keep me focused. They have a saying here in Alabama "Get er done" and that pretty much defines my business principles.

I also have a unique talent of always looking for a positive in any situation. This has enabled me to be successful in many different career paths from a soldier to a computer programmer.

Francie: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue','Segoe UI',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 14.66px;">My unique talent can best be described as being a “quilter”. From a variety of pieces that often are contrasting to one another, I’m able to design patterns which are cohesive, stimulating and harmonious in order to convey a wide-range of expressions. I can apply this unique talent to groups of people, organizations, artistic creations, a family gathering, etc. I delight in seeing all the multi-colored threads woven together.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue','Segoe UI',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 14.66px;">Narender:

My unique talent is web research. I do a lot of web research to keep myself updated about everything that is going on currently or anything I want to know. I spend most of my free time on Wikipedia reading about something and sometimes I just dive into topic to know everything about that.

It helps me to interact with people or having discussion at family gatherings or playing quiz with my friends.

Joylyn:

Having a unique talent is a gift, it is in you that is one of a kind. My unique talent is education...acquiring knowledge of new things. It is an unending process. It's something that I spend much time doing something that makes me feel happy, fulfilled & satisfied. I always educate myself with new ideas and techniques to be more effective in achieving my goals in life. I have the ability in setting a work plan and accomplish everything with confidence in myself. I also enjoy keeping track of things, especially when it comes to numbers, balancing accounts, tracking trends, resolve discrepancies, auditing, and finding solutions to specific problems. It's more on Finance, Administration & Management.
