The day that I am graduating from High Point University with a B.S. in Sports Management and I am sitting in my chair happy as anyone can be because I am about to graduate and start my first job after college as a head baseball coach at the Montessori School of Raleigh. I remember when I got the job as the couch I was as excited as I was when I was a councilor at that day camp. Knowing I was going to be able to teach someone something, even if it was just one thing that was worth it. I remember going in for the first day and I was nervous, but really excited. I walked over to the team and at the time there were less the nine kids there because we were brand new program and I told them who I was and what I expect out of them and my self and most importantly I told them that having fun is my number goal then teaching them how to play the game and everything else came after that. Little did I know I was there for three years and that was the best three years of my post college career because over that time I could visually see the change in every player who played for me. That was the most satisfying thing I’ve ever done to this

    The one accomplishment that marked my transition from being a child into becoming an adult would have to be when I got my first job at Culver’s. This accomplishment was a major milestone in my life which lead to many other great things to follow it. After applying to many different places I finally got a call back from Culver’s saying that they would like to have me come in to have an interview with me. At first I was a nervous wreck, but with the help of some really good friends with some good tips on how to dress, talk, and answer some of their tougher questions. I really appreciated their help and if it weren't for them I probably wouldn't have got the job.…

    I was terrified. I would try my hardest to get a good spot on the team by copying what the other girls did. But then I found out that I needed to do the things my coach said and forget what the other girls were doing and focus on what I was doing in my own way and that i needed to pay attention of how I was playing and concentrate on how all the girls passed the puck and that I needed to start being more confident of I play. Hockey has taught me that anything is possible and that I just need to make goals to accomplish them. At first when I started out playing hockey, I had a goal that I learn to do a crossover in two weeks.…

    A career in corrections appeals to me for a number of reasons. I enjoy working with other people and excel working with people from different backgrounds other than my own. While I was in the Army there was strong demand for a structured work environment. This is something I desire in a career and feel that corrections as other professions in law enforcement demand high level of structure and expect nothing less. To attain this expectation requires individuals to be highly disciplined, so they are able to give 100 percent every moment they are not only on the clock, but when you’re on your own time as well.…

    Senior Year My greatest memory so far in my eighteen years of being on this earth is without a doubt my senior year of high school. It was absolutely unforgettable. My senior year as a whole (which was just last year) was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life and the happiest I have ever been. When I was a chubby little freshman with glasses I thought to myself that high school would be one of the longest time periods of my life and that four years would feel like forty years. But man was I wrong, high school went by in the blink of an eye.…
