    Profession Profile #2 College Calculator & Scholarship Essay Harrison STEM Capstone

    Introduction

    College is expensive. Many of you may qualify for HOPE but statistics show that few of you will keep it. In fact, only
    about 30% of students keep HOPE throughout their college career. Some of you may be going out of state to college so
    HOPE is not an option. You may or may not get other scholarships, financial aid, or grants but because situations change,
    it is important that you know and understand the cost for whomever is investing in you and your college tuition.

    Procedure

    Part I: College Cost Calculation Worksheet:

    ֍ Interns complete for ONLY ONE College, answer the analysis questions, then proceed to Part II
    ֍ Career Explorers complete for THREE different schools, answer the analysis questions, then proceed to Part II

    Directions: Use this worksheet to compare the cost of attendance to 3 colleges of your choice. Of course, it is expected
    that you will complete this for colleges you have been accepted to and/or applied to. DO NOT calculate in the HOPE
    scholarship for any of the colleges even if you currently qualify!
    Most of this information is available at each college website. Be sure to cite each source in the space provided below the
    table!

    Explanation of Expenses Listed in Table

    2. Fees – include both the mandatory fees required of all students and any others that you know you will have to
    pay because of your field of study or extracurricular interests.
    3. And 4. Housing and Food – Could be a stated room and board charge that you pay each term or an estimate for
    off-campus rent plus what you will pay to buy and prepare your own meals. Can vary considerably if you live at
    school or at home. You may pay only for one or both. Be sure that meal charges cover 19 to 21 meals per week.
    If you plan to live off campus you may need to find a cost of living calculator for the area to estimate this
    expense.
    5. Books/Supplies – Colleges provide estimates but they can vary substantially from institution to institution. Use a
    minimum of $600 to $800 regardless of any published amounts. It may be more for some courses of study (art,

    and/or commuting expense and local transportation while at school. Colleges usually, but not always, publish

    Essay Prompt:
    Describe the three characteristics of leadership you value most. Discuss why you believe that
    these traits are so important and how you feel that they are developed in an individual.

    In addition to the email, copy and paste your essay response below:

    Is a leader a boss or consensus builder? I believe that although bosses can be leaders, a true
    leader is a consensus builder. But, what are the qualities of a consensus builder? There are many qualities for
    that type of leader, but I believe the three most important qualities are competence, empathy, and effective
    communication skills.
    When it comes to competence, it is defined by knowing what’s best for the team. Competent leaders
    know what to do in an urgent situation and can handle their job effectively and efficiently. This quality is
    essential in a leader because a leader must understand the work they want to lead for efficiency to be
    achieved. Individuals can develop competence by studying, learning, and training in the field they want to lead.
    Moving on to empathy, it is defined by understanding the different perspectives of the team. Empathetic
    leaders comprehend the needs of their followers and advocate for teammates who may need help speaking up
    for themselves. Empathy is especially crucial for leadership because leaders need to understand their
    teammates' perspectives to act in accordance with their demands. Individuals can develop empathy by asking
    for their team workers' opinions and actively listening to what they have to say.
    Transitioning to communication skills, they are crucial for leaders as they involve conveying messages
    with respect and clarity, ensuring that followers understand the leader's thought process. Good communication
    includes being transparent and actively listening. The way leaders communicate is also important, emphasizing
    the need for integrity in their communication. This is significant because leaders must lead by example,
    demonstrating effective communication skills in their role. Individuals can develop communication skills through
    experience and by listening to others.

    To sum it up, when considering whether a leader is more like a boss or a consensus builder, it
    becomes clear that a genuine leader leans towards being a consensus builder. Key qualities for effective
    leadership include competence, empathy, and strong communication skills. Competence allows leaders to
    make informed decisions for the team, while empathy ensures an understanding of diverse perspectives within
    the group. Effective communication, marked by respect, clarity, and integrity, is crucial for leaders to express
    their thoughts and set an example. In the end, a consensus-building leader possesses these qualities,
    fostering a productive and harmonious work environment for the team.
