Personal Narrative: My Experience At Job Corps

Improved Essays
I'm going to write about my experience at job corps so far. The first day I came to Job Corps was really different. It was nothing what I expected ,I thought it was going to be something like Zoey 101 with lots of freedom and respect from students and staff but its nothing like that. There's not really any freedom here for minors which I dislike. My Grandparents came in to drop me and my sister off and sign some papers. They said their goodbyes we said ours then I had to fill out some papers. After I got done I got a bag filled with different things like towels ,tooth brush ,deodorant ,and shavers it was all great even though I had everything already. After that I got to meet all the people who came the same day as me for their first times as well. We all got introduced to each other thei r cool people and still to this day we still have this bond as if were brothers and sisters. Then some people from hotel and lodging introduced themselves and they were nice and made me feel welcomed. …show more content…

    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.…

The workplace was always very clean, which also created a nice environment around me to focus on my work. That’s really a good thing because a nice working environment keeps me safe, healthy, and gives me more energy to do my work.…

    The scenario happened during my recent summer internship program. I was asked by my colleague to do some research readings for his project since I was not busy at that time and I was quite free. Since he asked me politely to help him do the work, I just did the task for him. He also didn’t force me to do it for him and I`m willingly offered to help him.
