My approcach to work and/or school
Many of us think we approach every aspect of our lives the same way, however a closer examination proves otherwise. Please think about your approach to your job and your approach to your classes here at Springfield, then write a one-page response. Make sure you consider:

My approach with work/ school are about the same,I feel that they both deserve the best.With my job I tend meet my deadlines that would be the same with school as well.
When I stared here at Springfield it was a learning process which didnt come easy,but life itself is not easy so after learning Springfield's way I applied myself as I do at work to meet the deadines for my assisngments. In the long run not meeting the dealines for work or school only hurts you which would reflect in the grade that you receive along with the job and how you are viewed in the type of work proformance.

It has been said that focus and direction have been strong characteristics of mine. Therefore, my approaches to school and work are about equal. I have the responsibility for overseeing 13 mental health service programs across three counties in southeastern Pennsylvania. With this charge I am required to travel, attend meetings, supervise staff, etc., with school, I travel, manage class assignments, research and write. At this point time management has become a priority above all. I am creating a daily log to help me with allotting adequate time to fulfill all the requirements of family, work and school. Deadlines are welcomed as time management tools for me. Deadlines are great and aid in keeping me focused.

My approach is pretty much the same in work and school. I go in with determination and perseverence and accomplish that which I set out to do. I approach dedicated, committed and responsibly. No procrastinator here when it comes to being on time,accomplishing deadlines, meeting deadlines. I am pretty much punctual!
My approach is being the best in whatever I do and I have always exceled in the past. I approach my job one hundred percent and I have the same attitude towards my education.
I approach school and work with anticipation of learning, growing and earning In the process of learning, I feel that I will be of great help to my family, friends, co-workers and many others.
So you see my approach is cautious, exciting and rewarding. W Dennis
I really dont have deadlines at work, but when I do I try to meet my deadlines. I just started back at Springfield and I can say I havent met the deadline for my computer clas pre-assignment which is highly unusual for me. In the future I will try to make all my assignments on time. Yes there are several conequences for not meeting deadlines. Some consequences may consist of you getting points off of your schoolwork and if its work you may get written up or may have to stay at the office late to finish up your project. There isnt much difference on how you approach school and work because both are important and also both are something you are highly commited to. However the rewards are a little different, the reward for school is self rewarding and the reward for work is can be self rewarding but it is basiclly something you are doing to benefit someone else. Depending on what you career is there is no real self gratification when you complete a deadline at work. The company may offer you a reward like dinner, a gift card , a cash incentive, a even a promotion. Educating yourself is something that will benefit you forever it doesnt just last for the moment, it isnt only there while your with the company it follows you forever.

the approach I take at home and on my job are similar. I respect others with the hope others would do the same.Honesty is alway a good aspect to ones self, these are the two words I live by. The approach on my job regarding my work ethics has been,be present,be on time and be ready,this is how I will approach my classwork here at Springfield. On my job I've been head security for four years and rules and regulation are my guideline for the student to base their behavior on, maybe, maybe with extreme exception to the rule we may bend alittle. I hope with extreme measures you may do the same.I know deadline are very important I've been working hard and will continue to work hard to me those requirements.
Before I approach my work at school I will often begin thinking about the assignment that my professor will ask us to complete. Since I am not a fast writer, I know that I must start early in order to meet the deadline date before a particular assignment is to be handed in. However I often find myself regardless, ending up spending more time thinking about what I have to write about, and changing it rather than just writing my thoughts out. I know that I don't like to write, and because of that I will often end up rushing to complete an assignment. Yet I will have my assignment ready on time. The reward for handing an assignment in on time is that you're not penalize for late papers and you've completed that particualr assignment. On the other hand, if you don't complete your assignment on time, you are penalize and more than likely receive a grade duction. Time management is a important factor when completing assignments whether at school or work. I do try to be consicous of my time but often loose sight of it.

I take my classes here at Springfield College very seriously.The main reason I take my classes serious is because I would like to futher my education and because I am paying for it, and don't want to waist my money. My approach to my job is different I do not take my job serious because I am stressed and burnt out from my job mainly because I have so may deadlines. I have a friday 12:00 deadline Wednesday 10:00 deadline, first of the month deadline, middle of the month deadline, amd emd of the month deadline, all of which I have to do by myself.I really do not exert much effort into my job anymore and my boss does not want to here that you can't make the deadlines. Deadlines done on time means bigger bonus for the whole staff. Here at Springfield college I am told that if you don't meet your deadline you receive a failing grade for some teachers or your grade will drop one for other teachers.One of the reason that I want to further my education is to move on to a more rewarding job, one that I don't feel constantly burnt out and stressed.I feel that after I complete my education and move on to a job that I have passion for, I will have a totally different approach to life, work, and my education. I don't spend a lot of time and effort at my job because the more time I spend trying to make the job better, the lazier the residents at the site where I work get. I have been trying to improve the standards at this site for 2 years to no avail. Now I am at the point if the residents and the company doesn't care then why should I. I realized that I don't want to work at a job that is putting me under a lot of stress. This will be the first time I attended school in ten years and feel that I will spend a lot of time reading and learning.

My approach to work and school are very similar. I know what needs to be done and I get to it. A grraet deal of effort goes into both in order for me to accomplish what I need to do. Since I have started classes at Springfield, I have been putting plenty of effort into making sure that I am on time and that all assignments meet their deadlines. The same effort goes into work. When there is a task at hand at work/school I set aside the necessary time to not only meet the deadlines but to make sure that the task is done correctly. There are consequences for not meeting deadlines at work and school but I have yet to faace those consequences. even though I can admit I have been slcaking a little, I have yet to find out what they are and I do not intend to. I have not physically seen any rewards from meeting deadlines at work, but in my personal opinion,the relief in knowing you did and achieved meeting your deadline is the reward. As far as classes at Springfield go with rewards for meeting deadlines, I don't know if there will be and I don't expect any. Meeting your deadline is expected in being a good student and is just one of those things that you just have to do. -Tanjala
My feelings of school and my job are different but my work ethic is the same. I'm excited to be back in school. It's been a long time and it's time for me to continue my education. In contrast, I don't have this same feeling about my job.
When I am at work I do the job properly, I follow all policies, I consistently give a 100% effort, I meet all deadlines which of course there are no rewards but always consequences.
I have this same approach with school. For example, attending all classes,coming to class on time. Participating with class discussions, completeing all assignments. Both school and work has a significant importance. For example I need to continue to have a job and continue my education for survival,I am ready to come to school and work with the intentions of working hard "no slacking". If it is a bad day make I try to find the postive aspect of it and find ways to change my day. Each day I set an agenda and try to complete as many task as possible to meet deadlines.
It's true, I do have different feelings about school and work but because of my work ethics the result is always the same.
