A Will To Lead
Didn't know until my 5:50 class
How vital management is
And not just a class I need to pass
Without management there would be no stores
There would be no schools and there would be no chores
It's management that gets us through every day
Without management there would be no work
And certainly no play
Being a manager takes patience and skill
You need creativity and a never ending will
I will to go further, a will to succeed
And most importantly, a will to lead!

To blog..or not to blog?
Management 3120 was one of the two classes in which I was required to post blogs on a somewhat weekly basis. Although at times it was very difficult to keep up with, I feel it forced us to think about what we discussed and class and actually get something out of the lesson!
I won't say that every single post made an impact on me, however there were definitely certain posts which I found very interesting. Also, I enjoyed reading other people's posts and see the similarities and differences between the two. For instance, the blog topic based on our "vision of the future" was a topic I truly enjoyed writing about. Because I had no choice but to think, "wow..what DO i wanna do with my life?" After writing mine, I visited other blogs to see what kind of goals other people in similar positions/situations planned to do with their lives.
As far as the blogs being an integral part of our grade, I think it was something all of us could/should have managed in order to get the best possible grade. However, I do feel that at times there was so much going on that it was difficult to keep up with the blogs, for me at least. I'd become overwhelmed with other class assignments as well as midterms (in this class as well). That is in no way justified, as I should have just remembered to do them (a.k.a. start keeping a planner rather than trusting my memory so much).
Realistically, I probably won't continue to write blogs after the semester is over, as I feel I already have so much going on (school, work, and family) that I don't think I'd be able to consistently blog. Of course, I don't know what/how I'll feel in the future about blogging but as of now, it isn't something I enjoy to do in my free time as opposed to reading or even sleeping! Haha. However, this blog system made me manage my time a lot better and think about what exactly we talked about in class rather than let it go in one ear and out the other.
