Decent Essays
Imagine yourself in the middle of a busy office
“Tap-tap… tap-tap-tap…”
This is the sound from typing. Every time a finger presses down on a key, it generates a slightly different sound, and the interval between each tap is distinct as well. Together, all those finger tapping make an inconsistent, disordered noise, yet this is the sound that calms my mind the most. The typing sound reminds me the day I moved to the U.S., where I was utterly stunned by the view of this land of technological innovations. Amused by this surprisingly relaxing sound, I decided to become someone can expand world of technology, and set my interest on computer programming and engineering.
It turns out that goal I’ve set out of impulse of excitement might be something

    When I grow up, I want to change the world! Changing the world one day would make me feel really good.

    “Congratulations!!” read one post on a friend’s Facebook wall, the day after she landed an office job in her field. “So amazing!” read another. “Are you ready for your big-girl job?” asked a third well-wisher, accompanied by a GIF of Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope. “I can’t believe I finally have a real job” was the text she sent me a few days later, from the comfort of her desk, where she had been hired to do operations work for an organization she had once, a few years prior, interned for.…

    I established a 15 hour technology fast from Saturday 10 PM to 1 PM Sunday morning. I selfishly chose this time frame because I knew that any other time during the week would be nearly impossible to accomplish. Since, I am indebted to my technological devices to complete assignment, manage my schedule, and meet required responsibilities. In addition, I chose to include sleeping hours because it would cut a majority of the time that I would be without technology. However, I did not want to fully exclude myself from this social experiment, therefore, I extended the hours.…

    For the majority of my professional life I worked primarily in the private sector; consequently, I have very minimal professional experience in the public sector. While rummaging through various documents, searching for material required for the completion of this analysis, I recognized that there are overlapping and recurring themes which clearly point to who I am as a professional and, thus, the direction in which my professional life should proceed, public service. Therefore, my professional mission statement is, “To vigorously perform my responsibilities as a public administrator and to enhance the quality of public service by providing my clients with dedication, honesty and a commitment to make the best interest of all, my first priority.”…

    The smell of hairspray, hair wax, and burning hair at 4:30 AM isn’t pleasant to most people but to me, it’s one of my favorite things to wake-up to. We had already made it through semi-finals and now we are in about to preform in finals. Only 8 teams make it to finals, and currently, we are in 7th. Smearing on foundation, patting on the blush, and bronzer, layering on the sparkly eyeshadow. Oh, and who could forget about the intensely bright red lipstick?…

    There are a couple of obstacles that have played a major role in me becoming who I am today. I've had naysayers trying to negatively influence my thoughts, and crush my dreams by saying that said I will never amount to anything, or that I should give up on my dreams and get realistic with my goals. A couple years ago I was a completely different person. I was out of shape physically, my academic performance was very poor, and I had a terrible attitude. I improved greatly in athletics and my academic career.…

    I believe I work well as part of our team at Nicholson House, I am aware of and fulfil my own duties but where possible I try and support my colleagues. We carry walkie-talkies with us so we can contact each other around the building, if I have a cancelled visit or some free time I’ll ask if there is anything I can do for my colleagues if they are pushed for time and they need me to do a visit, or they need support with something. Where possible I try to pick up and cover extra shifts, I can also be flexible when it comes to my shifts, I am aware that sometimes people have little notice about not being able to do their shift so where possible I am always willing to swap. I have full confidence that where I believe I am a strong team player…

    Today, I bought a new computer. My old computer runs on OSX whereas my new computer runs on Windows operating system. I am very excited about this because although it is possible to put OSX and Windows on the same hard drive it is difficult to do results with both operating systems having limited space. I did not want to be constantly concerned about permanent storage, which factored into my decision to purchase a new computer, which has 500 gigabytes of available storage on the hard drive. 500GB is more than I think that I will need but I would rather be safe than sorry!…
