As many of you may already knew, I will be graduating this May. After the commencement, I will start of this summer by visiting my younger sister over at Seattle, Washington with my family. For the rest of the summer I will be traveling around the world, some of these stops include: China, Japan, and Taiwan. There is no set date for these traveling, itineraries will be planned as things go.

Very rough draft, See Attached.

So far in our final project I've met with my group member and setup a schedule as well as a communication system; furthermore we have started on marking the scope to our production. Next week we are going to settle upon solid boundaries and come up with a table of contents. We are still concerned on the scope of our project, further discussion is needed.

Here is one extended definition on leadership:

The most memorable teamwork experience was my case analysis team for OLS 456. The team had demonstrated synergy in completing its objectives to meet academic requirements. Members in this case analysis team were prepared before each meeting and are determined to complete the task at hand. Members of the team have also made individual contributions to reduce conflicts and sustain an efficient working atmosphere.

My initial idea is to work with local businesses such as restaurants or stores. The idea is to present the local business opportunity to work with a group of ENGL 421 students to seek improvements on their paper or online deliveries.

These deliveries might include but are not limited to:
- Menus
- Brochures
- Catalog
- Instructions
- Store Policies: Returns, Exchange, Customer Service Documentations, Etc.

Planning

In the planning stage I often perform a quick brain storm before I go on and start writing. In this process, I usually would write down possible topic areas regarding to the written topic. After that, I would arrange those topic areas into a outline.
During my outline, I would throw out those that do not fit the outline, depending what mode of writing I chose to employ (Chronologically, Topically, and etc.). My outlines are usually broken down from the main topic, to sub-topics and then down to minor points that could either be my premises to an argument or a claim/issue.

Friedman Discussion Question

- How do you feel about Friedman's claim and his perspective of the "Quiet Crisis"?

- In your own perspective, how would you rate US in its ability to compete against foreign competitions?
