I came I saw I conquered !!!

I wasn't really surprised when i got my results. I was an Influential Dominating. I pretty much knew this of myself, I tend to be observative so I notice how I respond to my coworkers' different personalities and they all definitely see the dominating side of me. So the test was dead on. I certainly wouldn't want to be anything or anyone else other than what and who i already am. I love myself! LoL I do think though that people change, their experiences shape the views and opinions. So when I'm older have more experience in certain things i think that I might become more of Controlling or something else.
In terms of this test being helpful I totally agree with what professor said: "this says a lot about the dynamics in the class". A lot of people were ID or DI and this is easily projected in our classroom. We all get along well, we haven't had any heated arguments during most group exercises.i think this test could really be useful in the work environment so when you hire people you would know where  to place them and what to expect of them considering the accuracy of this test. I would definitely like my future employees to take this test so I could understand them better and know what their strong qualities are.

I can see! I can see!!

The video is definitely something that I wont forget especially the star fish LoL It does give a good insight on what a vision should be and as we've seen before all major companies display their vision on their websites or in other forms.
Having a vision for your future is a tricky thing you know. There is a great Russian saying "if you want to make God laugh tell him about your plans". when I was 19 I planned by 25 to be married with a degree and having a first child.
I'm turning 25 in 2 months. Im not married, dont have a degree, and certainly not having a baby.
Now I have different goals set out for myself. Since it didn't so far work out for me in personal life, I figured I would focus on my career. I'm finishing an accounting degree by next year hopefully. This summer I registered for LSATs prep classes. By next year, October, I will be taking my LSAT exam and hopefully will get into a good law school. With an accounting background I would like to pursue in the field of tax attorney . NOT FUN! But good money and good connections :)
One of my main visions is to get out of dept. In this country having a bad credit is like having a bad criminal record. It is impossible to even get a cell phone today with a bad credit. I've recently joined a hardship program with AmEx and did a 40% debt settlement with my other bank that has accumulated quite the large amount. This means that I'm only paying 40 % of what I owe and they agreed to give me installment payment plan so I didn't have to come up with the lump sum of money.
Another vision of mine is making headbands!! Me and my sister are building small capital right now to start our own little headband company. Im dreaming of anything big. I just want to sit home in my spare time glue and sow some beads on a headband and hopefully sell them. We decided that this would be a good way of coming up with extra cash while both of us are in school. I got this idea from a friend. she started selling bracelets that she made and made pretty good money. she doubled her profits in just 2 weeks. I figured that I can do something with my hands and perhaps make money. so once the merchandises are ready I'll be forwarding them to all the girls in the class :))
