As a young child my parents have always instilled it into me that I needed to finish high school and then go on to college. Which I did finish high school in 1994 form the best high school in Columbia, South Carolina. I then went off to college to find my calling. While in school I changed colleges a few times going form The Citadel to Clemson University and a few other smaller community schools as well. My parents were very helpful in my education and wanted me to use what I had learned out in the real world. I first started out with a degree in Animal Science and an almost completed degree in Microbiology with a minor in Agricultural Business all from Clemson University. I left before graduating with one course left and then moved to North Carolina to finish and to take a farming job. I was not happy working on this particular farm and went back to school to finish my degrees from Clemson University. While finishing up this degree I started to realize that I wanted to teach and went back to school for a Secondary Biological Education degree at Fayetteville State University.
I finally used my degree in my work taking a teaching position at a nearby high school in Sumter, South Carolina. I taught here for three years and during this time I had obtained yet another degree this time a Master’s in Technology and Education from Lesley University. My Master’s required reflections of what I had done and where I was going along with a development of a philosophy of my teaching style. When doing these exercises that were required for each class I started to understand where my parents were coming from. The key to success is education and they knew that without a good education the opportunities for a good job would be slim to none. Without a good education they knew that a blue collar job would be the only thing I would ever achieve and they wanted better than that for me.
If you told me during high school that I would still be in school when I was thirty years old and only have two years off I would have laughed at you so hard that I could have died. When going to college and taking part time jobs I started to see that the more education that I had the better my job became. That is not to say that if could obtain five or six more degrees then I would be a CEO of a multibillion dollar company. What I am saying is that with the right education one could obtain the job that they desire in life.
The more education I received the broader my mind was able to grasps concepts which resulted in quicker understanding of new concepts. The understanding of new concepts is very important in running not just a home-based business, but any business. All the time I am bombarded with new concepts to understand in a moments notice to make an informed decision about that I may only understand a part of until later when I can go back and add time to research the subject.
The more education I could obtain on a certain subjects allowed me to make better informed decisions that would result in increased income or better equipment. College showed me how to do research that allows me to take a topic that I have no idea of what it is and how it works to a working knowledge then finally to mastery of the subject matter. At the stage of mastery of the subject matter only then can I speak intellectually on the subject to make a decision for or against a business opportunity. Without this education poor decisions can be made which in turn can cause a spiraling trend and ultimately end in the folding of my business.
Third, keeping an open mind all through my education for the person that was trying to impart their knowledge one to me allowed me to get where I am today. I run a very successful MLM business that I am adding 20 to 30 people a week into my business and teaching other to do the same.

Learn to Speak French Online
October 27th, 2009Learning French is the theme of our website. You’ll see what it’s like to learn another language as an adult. Learning French is fun and easy with Rocket French! Designed especially for beginning students of the French language, the course offers pictures associations, pronunciation guides, and enjoyable exercises to reinforce new learning. Learning French is like a new Golf player, it’s better you stay off the green until you get a professional to teach you how to putt properly.
Learning French is certainly worth the effort. Things are always better in the original language; every language you learn multiplies your opportunities for learning new things. Learning French is not a romantic gesture. It is not an abstract gesture of that kind. Learning French is definitely easier than trying to stop smoking. More seriously, now is really the time to start or resume learning French.
Learning French is the first step to helping people in impoverished francophone countries allover the world. It is time to “reach out to the world and learn French.” Learning French is just within your reach!
Learning French is not only enriching, but also a marketable tool that companies encourage in their employees. We believe that learning French is more than taking on the essential grammatical underpinnings of a language. Learning French is an ongoing and involved process. You can’t learn French overnight, and you probably can’t learn it entirely on your own, no matter how many books and tapes you buy. Learning French is an excellent second language choice. Having a second language opens up new doors of opportunity for French learning students.
Learning French is now made even simpler with Rocket French, the affordable self study computer course using a conversational approach lauded by millions of educators and students. For years, the way to learn a language was through repetition and grammar drills – but current research shows that people learn best and retain more when engaged in meaningful, real-life conversations.
Students will be engaged in and challenged by their learning of a second language. Students must learn about and understand the cultures where French is spoken as well. Students tend to have a more positive view of learning French when these conditions are present.
One way of increasing students’ exposure to French outside the classroom is by visiting francophone students in Quebec or other francophone environments. Students and researchers who know French have access to original writings in their field. Keep in mind that many significant works in the areas of history, literature, philosophy, sociology, music, film and art history have not been translated. Students obtain about a seventy to eighty percent comprehension rate.
Students use film, sound and the Internet, as well as multimedia presentations and interactive grammar exercises. Many of these activities are created by teachers and tailored to the specific needs of their students.
Grammar or the relationship of words and structures of a language is the “blueprint” or “map” that helps a learner understand what is going on in the language. Whether you may want to travel, study a foreign language or even become a French translator, you will enjoy the experience of learning the French language with Rocket French software. Grammar and culture lessons are taught in a more traditional textbook fashion.
