Currently, I don’t have a network but hopefully I will. I do have a family network, and I can get in contact with my family. Also I have an school network. Therefore you can have a better experience bye communicating with other networks. It’s also good to have a great relationship with your co-workers.

I don’t have any networks of my own for business as of now. But in the near future I hope to have dozens to help the furthing of my soon to be job as a Nonprofit CEO. I have numerous family networks that I reach out to on a daily to gain encouragement and even a little wisdom. My school networks are on the barren side and I don’t have many people to talk to.

Yes, I do have a network. I have a school, family and professional network. The importance of having an network is to be able to connect with your piers. For instance, you might not be somewhere because your were sick or handling something or you might just needed a little more clarification your piers can help you. It’s easy to stay connected with everyone and have things organized and planned. For like the family network you can stay updated with your family and get the help you need to be more successful and help you if your down. It’s better to have a network than not having one because without a network it can be difficult to contact certain people and for you to get the help you need if your at home or any kind of feedback or clarification.

I personally do not have a network. However, I work under a network: IMPACT Family Center. A network work is important. There are some things that you yourself may not be able to get or receive, but if you're working with others they may branch off with other people to get what you need. A network is also important because you can also tie in with other organizations or communities that might bring draw more attention to you and your team.

Yes I have a network. I have multiple; family, school, and professional networks. My family network is important because we are closely connected, me and my mother are the closest out of all. My school network is important because my mentor and other teachers started helping me with colleges and scholarships.

The network that i have is with my family we focus on my school work and making money in life. These are things that will help me in the future that will help me to be successful and do will in life . and i say this because if i need to get money when im older or need more money i can use this skill to help me . This skills are really uncommon for young people like me to be able to know how to save money. Also know how to start a little business in the side to make a little money to keep yourself set.

These networks are important because like i said if in the future i would need to get money i will know how to. Also me focusing on school with my family is important because it shows me that they care . that would push me to keep going because that shows me that they want to me to really do the things that they are helping me with . I think that i should have more because i really think that help me doing well in life when i see people want me to pass and do good in life.
Those are my networks that ioi have for now .

It is important to have a network for many reasons. No one can do everything alone. We as humans need other people to bounce ideas off of, collaborate with, and to talk to. Networks are also important because of connections. It’s very rare that someone becomes successful just on their own. When you work through other people, you are able to have more options. With a network, you also have a moral support system. The trials and tribulations of life are too hard to go alone. With a support system you are able to go through those things with other people. You’re able yo get through.

No, I don't currently have a network. I have a family network, and I can get in touch with them at all times. I don't have a Professional Network but in the future I will have a professional network,because I want to run a business. A network is good because you can get in touch with a lot of people and talk to them. A family network is good because you can talk to your family at all times. A professional network is good because you can get in touch with business.

My networks are my family and mentors at the science exhibition. These networks are very important to my success and growth. My family is a great support system and encourages me to do great things. They make me feel like I am destined to do great things.
My mentors help me find new opportunities to reach the next level in life. They help me stay focus and stay on the right track. They make sure I keep my prioritys straight so I can be successful in life. Without these networks I would not be where I am today. They are the reason why I have accomplished so much. I strongly suggest everybody to find a network to be apart off. Everyone could use some help and having a network is a great system for help.

The Network i work for is Impact Family Center. For the most part, the main importance for working under a network would be that the Impact family center can help you succeed in many different ways. They can give you advice and you can get guidance from them to help you follow your path. They can also help you follow your passion as long as you work hard and come to them for help. There's things that you may not be able to know how to do so all you would have to do is go to the Network people you work for and they can guide you. I don't have my own personal Network but if i ever do It'll involve me running my own business and doing Social work that involves me helping the people who comes to me for whatever they need. I don't have a family network. For School network, It would be my counselor. Because i go to my counselor for help when necessary. She helps me figure out what i need to do to better myself, and what things i need to improve on.

Yes I have a network Impact Family Center. A network is important because when you working with others you are going to have connections. It’s good to be connected with a lot of organizations because they can help you branch off to get what you need. Network is also is important because it builds your relationship with the people you work with. Also working with other higher people can get you to higher/ better opportunities. The more connections you have the more opportunities you have.

Yes, I do have a network my family is mines. The importance of having a network is that you will need somebody to guide you into the right direction and having the right mindset. My mother is the most person I’m closest to and if it wasn’t for her support from her then I wouldn’t be the person I am today. What I’m saying by that is, I wouldn’t have much of a focused and positive mindset. It is also important to have a network because you will need somebody to motivate and strive for you to meet your goals so they will be accomplished.

Yes , I have a network with my family . I don’t yet have school network . That’s because I’m going to a whole new different school . I don’t have a professional network either but soon I will make one. Also my family network is kinda good but sometimes it doesn’t help to push me . Sometimes it only pushes me down .
Also the people in my network is mainly my granny. I got either people in my network but they don’t push me . Nobody pushes me as hard as her . That’s why I try so hard to be as good as I can . That’s why I have to achieve my goals and dreams . If I don’t achieve goals I don’t know what I’m going do .

Developing a network is important because it provides a leg-up on opportunities. Building and creating friendships and even associations with different people in different markets can be useful when help from reliable people are available. The tool is too valuable to be left unestablished. The saying, “It’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know,” is true. You can have all of the knowledge in the world, but if you do not have anything to apply it to, what’s the point? The most favorable circumstances are not shown through flyers on a window or a commercial on television.

I, myself, use my family and school connections. I try to build relationships with people in my school whether it’s a teacher, student, or principal.

It's important to have a network because it can help people know what they can do with moving forward in life. Also, it can help others know what they want to do to provide yourself in the future. Sometimes, people don't know how to start a network and have to ask people know what they want to do. Other times, people don't want to be a part of a network. It can take time for a person to understand what can advance their network. This can change about how they think life would be with their network.
Importance to have a network is to be successful in life. Besides of being successful with the network, it can improve the view of what the future for others that are apart of the future. However, it can affect those who aren't part of the network. Even though, networks are for people who started it but it's for the community. Despite the fact that it can help people in the state but can cause problems with how it's going to elevate in other parts of the country. Also, trying to make the network nationwide for everyone to use.

My network is Impact Family Center, my family and Kennedy King. These places are considered networks for me because I know that I can go to them in the need of help and I know that they will have my back without a doubt. I am dedicated to these places because they are here to make sure that I am the best that I can be, especially on the days when I have least confidence in myself and my work. These places helped me to find myself and be all that I can be. It has also pushed me in every way to understand that there are steps required in everything you wish to do. These networks are here to remind me that I can and will make it, and is here in every way to make sure that I get to where I need to be, even if I may not like or agree with the things they do.
In my opinion, having a network is amazing. In times when you doubt yourself and need guidance, your networks are things to depend and lean on. Your networks stick with you through the good and the bad. Your network leads you to success. Your networks are here to believe in you, and without one, you're incomplete. I appreciate them for sticking with me and pushing me to greatness, even if I may not show it. Most of all, I appreciate Impact Family Center.

I have a network of family and friends who all support me in my endeavors. My family usually supports me from a financial standpoint. The things I eat, where I live, and what I wear are all things provided by my family. On the other end, my friends usually support me emotionally. When I am feeling down or I need some advice I usually turn to my peers for guidance and vice versa. These are both networks in that I gain support from my interactions with and network and vice versa for others within the network.
A network is essential due to the fact that no one can do it alone. Everybody needs somebody, nobody can do everything alone. Humans are social creatures and as such there is not a point in time where you have done something without the advent of another. Everyone has a mother who put in months of work to give birth to you for you to inevitably do something, even so your mother didn’t do it alone. Your father, doctors at your hospital, as well as your extended family all had a part. Even the simplest of actions are done due to the actions of the collective.

I don’t really have a network. I hope that as I grow the people I know become better connections or allow me to link with connections better, but my parents both have connections, my moms network allowed me to get into DME2 despite not being old enough. Having a network us really important because you need to build connections. Connections allow you to build resources, lead and businesses opportunities to generate business. If you’re a teacher and your doing a lesson on modern art then knowing someone that’s is a recognized artist then it will benefit you over all. Your students are less bored, you have to do less work and explaining and the person you invited gets some recognition. Another example would be starting a new business and knowing a person with wide influence and getting them to promote your business to help your industry grow.
