PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE PAPER CLOTEE LEWIS UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX Why did I decide to pursue an MBA?

Topic: Why should we attend university? For people who have already finished high school‚ one of the choices they will have to make is whether to continue to higher education‚ which means going to college or university‚ or to start working and planning their life right away. Different people will have different choices of their own‚ but for me‚ I think there are two main reasons why we should attend college or university. The first thing that perhaps anyone would think about going to college

Hazing in Fraternities and Sororities For many college students‚ fraternities and sororities have been a place to find family like bonds and close knit communities. What if it meant great humiliation and forced tasks in able to be a part of these communities? For the past few decades‚ interest in Sororities and Fraternities interest has declined because of the increased reports of cruelty and hazing related to initiation.

After reading the essay by Woody Hochswender‚ “Did My Car Join Al Qaeda‚” I found that it was very persuasive because he had convincing support for his point of view. Being a SUV using a lot of gas doesn’t make him a bad person or responsible for what’s going on in Al Qaeda no more than me standing in a garage makes me a car.

People in‚” The Outsiders‚” joined for a few different reasons. One example is‚a partly main character‚ Steve‚ joined from peer-pressure. On page nine‚ it states that

The question of whether Finland should join NATO has lain relatively dormant for the majority of the time since the end of the Cold War. While a discussion occasionally flared up in public‚ official political circles seemed to not give the option serious consideration – Finland has a tradition of neutrality in that regard that there was no point in breaking.

Upon joining my sorority earlier this semester I never would have thought I would be dancing and making a fool out of myself in front of hundreds of people on Green Street. Here I was though on November 1st‚ after practicing for at most three days with the other girls and Hockey team‚ ready to get on stage. My grand big is a dance major so she convinced me to join the Spurs and Struts team because they did not have enough people and I have a hard time saying no. This performance ended up being one

opportunities. There are many things about Lambda Theta Alpha that fascinate me and drive my interest in wanting to become a sister. The sisterhood‚ the leadership opportunities‚ and giving back to the community are some of the reasons I want to join Lambda Theta Alpha. The work they do to help the children of St. Judes Childrens Hospital is amazing. There are just so many good things that come with being a sister of Lambda Theta Alpha and so much good that can be done once being a sister of
