There are three career objectives I have for the next five years. I am currently a senior in Baruch and I am in my last semester of my bachelors degree in Management of Musical Enterprise. My first goal is to finish off this semester in a good academic standing and enjoy my graduation festivities. My second goal is to find a job that is related to my field as in a music record company that will lead for a good salary and better way of living. My third goal is to move up the career latter and work for the Latin division of a record label.
In order for my goals to be accomplished I have to recognize my strengths and weaknesses I have. A key strength that I have is the ability to never give up even when the road to my success seems difficult. Another strength that I have is that I have a strong mind and know exactly what it will take for me to succeed. My weakness is that I am very impatient when it comes down to getting these career objectives in motion because I want things to happen at the present but I realize that everything in life takes time.
Plan of Action
1. In order to finish this semester in a good academic standing I must stay on top of my studies. This will involve a schedule in which I can balance school, work, internship and my personal life.
2. To find a job within my career path I must finish school and my current internship and start applying and looking for jobs, even if its an entry level position that involve just office work. I must be patient and build up my networking skills because my career choice is about who I know and how can these individuals help me achieve my career goals.
3. In order for me to achieve my ideal dream job of working in the Latin division of a record label I must first increase my work experience, understand the business and create the correct contacts that will take to where I want to be.

Crisis Management: 2010 Haiti Earthquake
It was Tuesday, 12th of January, when a 7.0 magnitude earthquake occurred that devastated the country of Haiti. The death estimate was about 316,000 which is considered to be one of the deadliest earthquakes of all time and caused $14 billion. This situation is personal for me because I was in the Dominican Republic visiting my family and felt and experienced the earthquake that shook the whole island of Hispaniola. Haiti lacked a great amount of resources such as food, water and medical equipment to handle the amount of people who were affected by this natural disaster. More information about this earthquake can be found in this CNN report on the Haiti Earthquake
President Obama immediately assembled different U.S. agencies to create a relieve effort to help the Haitian people and country. Supplies were sent from different nations through the Port-au-Prince (Haiti's capital) and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic capital) while different measures were used to help the with this disaster. The first step involved in managing this crisis was to search and assistance with rescuing anyone who is missing or in need; including equipment used to lift heavy item and assisting with medical supplies. The second step was to address the need of medical supplies, shelter, sanitation, food and clean water. Having a poor sanitation plan of action can increase the death toll because the chance of the spread of diseases and illness can increase dramatically. The third step was setting and maintenance the infrastructure of operations within the country. Information bases on this article: Haiti Earthquake:Crisis and Response
Overall the 2010 Haiti Earthquake did indeed abide by the six rules of crisis management because the necessary steps were used to help the people of Haiti in various ways. Many nations sent help to Haiti but the overall factor of this relief aid was the fact that the necessary steps were taken to solve different problems that involved anything from food, medical and the actual infrastructure of the country in order for the citizens and the country itself to maintain themselves.
