Its Finally Here!!!!!!....The end of the Year!!!!!Billy James Hawkains IIIPortfolioPowerPoi-nt Presentation1Who Am I ?????

There are lots of things about me that people already know. Just incase you might not know that much about me, let me tell you. Ill start off by telling what I like to do best. The thing that I like to do best is to sing. Ive been singing since I was 7 years old. Singing is something that I love to do because not only does it run through the family but its something that we enjoy doing. Now that you know about my love for singing, lets talk about the goals I have for my life. In the future I plan on being an A&P Mechanic. Every since my sister Olivia Hawkains started flying airplanes at her school, and learning how to fix an airplane, it become fascinating to me. Now if that doesnt work out I would like to be a pilot for the U.S Navy. I know you think that is kind of crazy for me to do but I think that I am qualified for the job. My mother has always raised me to be a help to others and its always in order to help someone out when they need it. As far as sports, I like to play football, volleyball, and play different instruments because its very fascinating to me. Im also a people person, which means that I can get along with anyone no matter what its not hard for me to get along with other people. So as you can see I'm a nice person and have no problem meeting new people.

Community Service

I Love Community Service!!!!!!!!!!!! Community Service to me is an opportunity to look at the world differently. Many people think that when theyre working or doing something they should get something in return . In many situations that return is money .I beg to differ. Ive been raised to work for free sometimes. Many people dont have enough money to give people who help them out. I love community service because I even look a me sometimes. I always want money. Like always want money, but now that I think about it thats not good because then I would want it every time. Thats when I was doing community service at the inner city council drill team the man wanted to give me some money but I said no because thats not why Im doing this. Im doing this to be a help. All I wanted from him was a thanks and job well done. Even if he didnt say that Ill still be okay . I LOVE COMMUNITY SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone one should want to be a help to someone!!!!!Someday Itll Get Better..I Hope. Education and How It Affects Me and Our Economy

Someday Itll Get BetterI Hope In our economy today there are things that are affecting us and others . People are getting laid-off of their jobs, money are being deducted from peoples paychecks, and believe it or not this affects all of us as of today. But how? One of the things that all young people go to is a school. To me that is one of the most places that is being harmed by because of this economy. Many schools are getting less money because of the radical things that have occurred in such time. On the other considering the fact that schools that are poor schools are getting less money than rich schools are getting, and I dont think that is fair. Just because a school maybe poor doesnt mean that should dictate how much money that school should receive. In all actuality some poor schools are better than rich schools. I just think that even if a school is poor that doesnt mean that they should receive less money than richer schools.

ATTENTION ALL YOUNG PEOPLE..TOO MUCH Spending!!! Since the economy is bad there has been an effect on the spending of our parents. Usually our parents could buy us things every single moment, but now things have changed. I remember a time when I used to ask my mom or dad for at least $50.00 every week. With me asking them that they gave it to me, but since the job industry is getting worse, paychecks are getting lower my parents cant give me $50.00 every week. The most they can give to me is $20.00 ,if they have that. Me, and everyone else have to understand that there isn't a lot of things that our parents can do now consisting money because they have to pay the bills, and make sure that all all the monthly expenses are getting paid. Its harder now than its ever been. There is too much spending for our parents to do then for them to be worrying about the cloths or shoes we need. We all have to realize that!!!!!!!!

A&P Mechanics vs. Airplanes Pilots

Career Comparisons A&P Mechanic.. Airplane Pilot. What do I want to be when I grow up????? What do you want to be when you grow up????? These two questions are what me and other people ask me. One day I begin to ponder on those questions and it finally came to me. I actually had two of them. One was an A&P Mechanic, and the other one was an Airplane Mechanic, but right now Im going to tell you about the some of the things about an A&P Mechanic. First of all, and you might be wondering, but the abbreviation A&P stands Aviation and Powerplant. When I grow up one of the careers that I am interested in being is an A&P Mechanic. An A&P Mechanic makes about $120,000/yr. Thats a lot of money!!!! As an Airplane Mechanic I will use the engine that runs the plane. Also I will use the power plant controls which are the controls that pilot use to fly the plane. Of course to become anything you have to have some type of skills. Well for this career in order for me to become an A&P Mechanic, I will need to have skills in airframe, power plant, and avionics technicians. Also you must have training for any career as well because you want to be the best you can be. Considering the fact that I want to become an A&P Mechanic, I must have 18 months of work experience as required by the FAA in order to receive full certification. A full 30 months of experience working with engines and airframes is necessary to attain a combined A & P certificate. This job to me is the job for me because its something that interest me, and I know I wont have any problem obtaining this dream. In the future one of the careers that I want to establish is an A&P Mechanic.

Another fascinating career that Im interests me is being an Airplane Pilot. As a Airplane Pilot , I will need to know how to fly helicopters, and their power plant parts. Not only will I need to know how to fly a helicopter, but a jet, and a turbo-propeller. Also as an Airplane Pilot, I would have to work whenever they call me whether it is at night, or day. I will have to wear a flight suit for this job. Sometimes that maybe a problem , but since I lie the career Ill do whatever it takes. Of course in order for anyone to become something they have to have training, well in some areas they do depending on the job. To become an Airplane Pilot I will need training in the field of flight training. That will last about 20months. I will also need to have training with the ant other technical field. That could be obtained within the time Im getting trained in flight training. Consisting the career of an Airplane Pilot they do make good money. They actually get paid yearly. Most Airplane Pilots make over $175.000/yr. I believe that if I put my mind to it, then I cant definitely achieve it!

Victor Wooten Although hes a spirited, skillful and imaginative soloist, Victor Wooten believes that any good bassists first task is to help make your group sound better. Since 1989, thats exactly what the Nashville-based electric bass virtuoso has done for Bla Fleck and the Flecktones: made the band sound better. But before taking a New York City stage as part of Chick Coreas Elektric Band, Wooten is calling to talk about his new solo CD, Palmystery (Heads Up/Concord), and The Music Lesson (Berkley Trade/Penguin Group), a novel hes written to fulfill his desire to help others avoid some of the pitfalls hes witnessed over the years. Victor Wooten is a great man. He has done so much for the music industry. He has made music better and more exciting. Through his outstanding deliverance in his performances, he has made other writers, and bassets just like him want to do the same and have the same energy as he does on stage. I look up to Mr. Wooten because I want to have the enthusiasm that he has when ever I do something that considers me performing in front of a crowd. Mr. Wooten has been a leader to music industries, families which he is aware of and to other people such as his fans. Victor Wooten is a powerful man, and I know he has made a huge difference.

Life Style Budget Within the experience I had considering the life style budget, Ive witnessed that I will not be able to survive making minimum wage. I will have to get a better job that makes a lot of money, or the life style that I have chosen will not be able to fulfilled. If I could change one thing in my budget, it would be my vacation expenses. The reason why I would do that is because that is the most that I have spent throughout the entire budget. To me that was one of the main reasons why I cant live off of minimum wage. I'm pretty sure that it wont hurt to drive to where ever I'm vacationing and live at friends house. That is the one thing that I would change in my life style budget.

Working In Today's Economy In order to work in todays economy, we have to have different kinds of skills. Also we need broaden our mind by doing something's that we wouldnt usually do. We need to look beyond things that are unnecessary, and look focus on the things that are necessary to us and the job that is being fulfilled. In order to work in this economy, we need to indentify the common human values, human spirit. Commitment to understanding other people is a must in this economy. Since globalization is a big thing the working industry, we need to at least learn some type of foreign language. Many different cultures are working in this economy , so that means that we need to do learn what ever it is that that speak, and that make it more easier for us to communicate, and appreciate what they bring to the table.

Challenge To America!

America, China, Russia, India! In this country, we do not have enough educated workers, so thats why there is a lot of India, and China workers. I believe the reason that Americans companies hire employees in India, and China is because they both work for less money. I know for sure that any American company would hire a worker who works for less money, and can get the job done faster. That brings me to my next conclusion. I believe the reason India, China, and Russia became global competitors is because they each have better workers than each other, and some of the workers can get the job done immediately while other countries procrastinate. With all these greats workers there isnt enough educated people in this country for this countrys companies to hire someone here. Thats why so many other people from other countries are working here. There are many implications that globalization has on American workers as of today. One of them is are that many workers are now getting laid off because there isnt good workers for many different variations. Since we have knew technology in our country ,it has made the work place a smaller place. Since we know have the Internet, and computers it has made the world a smaller place. Now a days people are no longer communicating with people, they are now communicating with the internet because of all of the sources that it carries. The Internet, and computers has an effect on the work place the same way it makes the world a smaller place. If someone needed some information on a particular topic, theyll go straight to the Internet, than talking to other people. It has a major effect on the work place and our world.

Summary!!!!!!!! As you can see Im a great person, and love to do a lot of things. I'm nice, kind and a people person no matter what the circumstances maybe. Community service to me is a great thing to do because its a way to look at the working experience differently. Just because schools maybe poorer than other schools, that shouldnt dictate the amount of money that school receives. We all have to understand that money is an issue now of days, and people like me have to hold off of wanting money every time because my parents may not have enough at that moment. One day Ill be either an Airplane Pilot., or an A&P Mechanic. Either one I'm fine with it. Ive concluded that I will have to work at a job where they dont pay minimum wage because my lifestyle wont be able to be fulfilled. Victor Wooten is a great man, and is a person who I will look up to for the rest of my life. We have to make sure that we learn different things about different cultures because thats the only way were going to be able to work in this economy. I hope that you enjoyed my portfolio because I know I did. The end of the year is finally hereYes!!!!!!!!
