Personal Responsibility

Personal responsibility is taking accountability for actions taken and the manner in which one is viewed. Displaying “great” leadership qualities as well as being responsible for all work and school assignments are a must. Perfect attendance as well as completing work and school assignments in a timely manner is a very important role in personal growth. Returning to school allows one to forward life and career advancements, and to be an example to all that it is never too late to achieve academic goals. One’s personal goal when retuning back to college is to earn a degree in BA in Business Administration which will assist in furthering a career as an IT professional.

When you combine the skills of various workers, you create a product that otherwise would have been unachievable. To get to that place, workers need to listen, advise and compromise freely. Keeping ideas flowing in a positive manner is more difficult than it sounds, especially when egos or ambitions are on the line. But overcoming obstacles to teamwork is essential for a successful endeavor” Goals are statements that can identify some benchmarks needed to accomplish to meet academic requirements. Most likely one will need to address some possible stumbling blocks that will enable the upcoming journey, making it more difficult to accomplish set goals.
