Personal Narrative: My Work In The Workplace

Decent Essays
The amount of work you can complete in such a short period of time is amazing! I thrive on fast paced work! I also admire the amount of work you completed for not-for-profit organizations. I foster for an animal rescue and we truly appreciate all the people who can help us with the advertising as that is a large part of finding each animal a home. I am from your neighboring state, Illinois, and also enjoyed the bit of a snow storm we received a couple nights ago. Fortunately, it was not 12 inches, only about 4 inches.

    Clarence, I agree with you completely that older generations follow the motto “a hard day’s work for an honest day’s pay”. I work with a few older employees and they work 5x harder than some of the younger employees I work with. I also received a 35 on my EI test which I was not surprised of either. I have a very high work ethic and have very little time for play in my job. I do need to learn to put myself in others shoes; sometimes this is very hard for me to do.…

    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.…

    Lo and behold, it was only 10inches when I measured it. I took a picture as proof and even posted it on my Facebook account to let others know about this deception. Apparently, I was not the only victim as one by one my friends commented their own experiences and they also measured their subway sandwiches to prove that they were shorter than 12 inches. Some got 10 inches while others got 11 inches but no one among us got a 12-inch sub. What a disappointment!…

    My response to this selection is that Hornak made right decision, even though it took her long time to realize, but it would be hard for me If I were to change my career. It would be hard for me because I know I spent a lot time to study and it costs me a lot too. But I personally believe that we all need money, but I would also want to pick the major that I would enjoy in and which would make me proud. For instance, I like to help others…

    “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.…

    My life is everchanging, from the decision of whether to go to college, what choices should I take to build my career, to whether or not I believe in certain entities. The best part about this though, is the experience of learning about how the world works, and how everything is always constantly changing. I have only been around for two decades, but I've experienced a lot of change, and feel that nothing is ever constant. I was raised Lutheran, and attended a youth group where I met wonderful friends, connected with leaders, and grew my belief. This was consistant for four years, before change happened.…

    I have dropped a few courses but only one for academic purposes. I attended Texas A&M Corpus Christi for my first year of college and later transferred into Texas A&M College Station for my second year. This transition was a heavy wakeup call especially in my first semester. The level of education and the expectations in my new school were much higher and I was forced to drop my molecular biology class. After that year, however, my grades began to recover, as I had to rediscover how to study in my new demanding environment.…

    Within my siblings, my sister, brother and I are all in the Army reserves and this alone brings out a lot of stressors in the family. At first it was very difficult during most of the transitions in changing of family member roles when we all joined. We all became closer for the fact that we were all going through the same thing. My mother was always at home whenever we needed anything and never hesitated. She was very positive and when we vented over anything, she reassured us that it was not much longer until we came home.…

    I want to talk about something that my parents engraved in me at a very young age, they always mentioned the “blue collar” approach. In my youth I didn’t know what the blue collar approach was, or what it untallied, but it was something that was part of my childhood and continues to be part of my life whether I like it or not. The blue collar approach in my family is simple, it’s the idea that if you want to get something done, do it yourself.…
