Write a brief statement introducing yourself and focusing on your reasons for attending college. Consider including any of the following information (if applicable):

• Current level of responsibilities that could demonstrate your ability to be a successful student, including job, community, and/or family experiences
• Career goals
• Work experiences
• Reasons your previous educational records may not reflect your current abilities

Here is some information:

I am working at Loudoun County Public schools; I live at home with my family and help them financially; I have a 20 year old sister with downs syndrome; I take care of her most of the time; my parents are older now (in their 60s) so any time I am not working I am with my sister taking care of her needs; I have had two previous jobs and due to my work I am unable to attend a campus which is why I have chosen online option; I want to attain a bachelors degree in hopes to get a good job and get my family out of the financial stress;

I want this well written to submit to a college application. I can provide an other information that can help. I want this statement to stand out and help with my admission process.

Minimum of 1500 words, written and annotated in proper MLA format following these instructions:

• Challenging conventional wisdom – Identify and discuss one standard statistic that had traditionally been used as a standard for success. Explain why people had always thought it was a good measure and then why the sabermetrics experts don’t consider it a good measure of a player’s abilities. You must include a discussion of the mathematics behind the statistic in your explanation of why the sabermetricians do not condone its validity.
• Innovation – Identify and discuss a new statistic created by the sabermetricians as a truer measure of a player’s abilities. Again, you must include a discussion of the mathematics behind the statistics.
• In Chapter 12, there is considerable discussion about the advisability of stealing bases. Conventional wisdom says that they are critical to success in the playoff games, but the Oakland A’s forbade stealing for their players. Discuss how it might seem obvious that stealing bases would net you more runs and why the Oakland A’s disagreed with that.
• Finally, discuss in general (not baseball-specific) why it is often important to question whether and when conventional wisdom should be reassessed and new ideas explored. If possible, think of an area related to your chosen career where perhaps innovation is warranted.

1- Comparison of AA Previous to AA Current

In order to figure out the potential impact of switching from AA corn to GM corn for Belgrove farms, we took into account what each of the four farms excelled in producing. By using the “recommendation” chart, we found out what farm could easily produce corn at both price points of $4.70 and $5.50. In the first projection of AA corn, we used the previous year’s expenses to determine the future projection. We assumed if Belgrove Farms continued producing AA corn they would still be making 290,000 Bushels which would increase the cost of making the same corn by $0.22, with an overall increase of $63,800 in profit per bushel. If they decide to continue growing AA corn, their income before taxes results in $248,095. This would result in $195,750 more in sales, about a 46% increase in revenue from the previous years.

2- Comparison of AA Current to GM#1 Current

If Belgrove Farms wants to switch over to genetically modified corn, they would have to charge more for the GM corn since Europe places more restrictions on imported genetically modified products. We assumed if Belgrove Farms began producing the first scenario of GM corn it would increase the cost of making corn by $0.55, which would increase the overall cost by $756,000 in comparison to AA corn. With the selling price at $5.50, a $0.50 increase in selling price from AA corn, their income before tax yields a profit of $666,720. This would result in $418,625 more in sales, about a 37% increase in revenue more than AA corn.

3- Comparison of AA Current to GM#2 Current

In the next scenario, Belgrove Farms set their selling price to $4.70 per bushel based on the condition that Europe puts “heavy restrictions” (GMOptimization) on imported genetically modified products. We assumed if Belgrove Farms began producing the first scenario of GM corn it would increase the cost of making corn by $0.55, which would increase the cost by $608,000 in comparison to AA corn. If Belgrove Farms began selling corn at $4.70, a $0.30 decrease in price from AA corn, their income before tax yields a profit of $344,095.This would result in a $96,000 increase in sales, about a 72% increase in revenue more than AA corn.

4- Comparison GM#1 Current to GM#2 Current

When comparing the first scenario to the second scenario of GM corn, you can see that GM#2 is cheaper in selling price to GM#1 by $0.80, in which it would cost $148,000 more to produce than GM#2. However, GM#1 has $472,000 more in sales revenue and is leading in net income before tax with $342,000 more income in comparison to GM#2. The first scenario would make about 52% more than the second scenario. By comparing both scenarios, we believe GM#1 is more profitable, which is what companies want. It would be best to go with producing GM #1.

You can also come up with this conclusion by looking at the profit margin to see how much Belgrove Farms would make in each scenario. If Belgrove Farms sticks to producing AA corn their profit margin would be 17%. Switching to GM#1 would bring up the profit margin to 25%. If you choose to go with GM #2, your profit margin would be 16%. You can clearly see that the best choice would be to go with GM corn in the first scenario while the second scenario has a slight smaller margin, it may have a larger effect in the long run. This will not only allow you to expand your company but also to keep part of it alive, since you can still produce some AA yellow corn.
