Personal Narrative: First Day Of The First Job

Improved Essays
First Day Of The First Job I can say that I know the fear and stress of starting a new job. The kind of fear that made me nervous when I walked into the workplace and the feeling of not know what this new experience would be like. The fear and stress all started at my house and Microtel Inn and Suites in Miami, Oklahoma on Tuesday June 17, 2014. The day started off with me, awaking from my bed at 6:00 in the morning. After I was completely awake, I gathered my clothes and hopped into the shower. When I got out of the shower, I got completely dried and dressed and was feeling a little better about myself then, I looked into the mirror. My eyes were beat red that’s when the fear instantly came back to me because now I thought I was going to go into work looking like some sleep-deprived teenager. I walked into the living room where my mother and father were watching the news I explained to my mother about eyes and she said, “Don’t worry about it Braydon, you look good and you’re going to do great today.”. I then stopped worrying about my eyes and asked my father if I could get a ride to work, he said,” Yes, I can take you up there jump in the truck and I’ll be right there.”. I then …show more content…
I then went into the laundry room for more instructions from the housekeepers. Lupita said, “Braydon grab that laundry bag, please and help me carry some laundry upstairs.”. I grabbed the brown bag that had a texture that felt like it belonged on some old cowboy boots and handed it to her. She started filling up the bag with loads of pillow cases, sheets, towels, and rags. What was going through my mind was show no stress Braydon and lift that bag up and carry it upstairs. I bent my knees and heaved that heavy bag over my shoulders and thought this is it, I am now a part of the Microtel workforce. The nervousness and fear that I had been feeling almost seemed to disappear as thoughts of joy went through my mind by being

    I have always been interested in learning and using new ideas. Throughout my life, I have invariably drawn from my life experiences, newly learned ideas and my continuing education to help problem-solve sensibly and realistically allowing me to move forward or help others reach their goals. Although I have no formal teaching experience, in my past work and involvement in organized sports, I have repeatedly used the Progressive philosophy. When dealing with 13 & 14 year olds many situations arise such as bullying, personality clashes or simply not understanding a drill or play. I deal with these situations by asking questions to stimulate a discussion, allowing them to draw on past experiences; positive or negative, consequently allowing them to come up with a solution or grasp the knowledge they are seeking.…

    Last semester was definitely the hardest for me. I have two challenging research papers toward the end of the semester. I find it hard because I did not know what to write about and which assignments I should start on first. I manage to overcome this challenge by narrowing the topics and start on the paper that was closest to deadline. My stress level was at 10 because I skip meals and stayed up all night long to finish my papers.…

    Of the many different influential experiences I have had over the past years, the one that stands out to me the most as a true rite of passage was starting my first job as a lifeguard at Nassau Country Club. It taught me lessons like the true meaning of hard work, the the value of a day's pay and most of all, what it means to have someone's life in one's hands. These lessons were given to me through my own experiences, as well as by my boss, Dr. Dan Cavallo D.O, one of the hardest working men I know. It all began, however, with a huge stack of towels. On my first day of work, I was more nervous than I had ever been in my entire life.…

Self-doubt began to fester inside of me as soon as I stepped through the front doors. I expected less and less of myself as time went on.…

It could be the beginning of a marriage, a relationship, a business, a pregnancy, or a job.
