Personal Narrative: The Wells Fargo Bank

Decent Essays
“Oh no,” I said to myself. How could I be late I only have a couple of drinks last night as I stand in front of my boss telling myself she might forgive me but I heard the dreaded word “Why were you late?” Quickly I imagined a realistic story she might believe.
It was a busy morning for the Wells Fargo bank I stood there in line holding my light blue check watching as the bank teller with their bright white shirt and black pants uniform standing behind a bulletproof window talking to the customers about their balances, deposits, and withdrawals.The only security they had was a guard standing near the door with a gun in his holster.Then I heard the sound "bam". I turn to my left and I see the security guard with 2 holes in his chest bleeding

    One of my favorite entrances to a room happed at a Baron De Bastrop Daughters of the Texas Revolution meeting that my son attended to receive an award. At around ten after ten, a tall, casually dressed lady breezed into the room saying “Please forgive me for being late. I didn’t finish milking my goats until a quarter of ten.” Everyone seemed to understand, and several asked about the health and welfare of her goats. I had never heard of goats as a reasonable explanation for being tardy.…

    “A leader has to watch every word he or she says and quickly learns that you can’t go through life without a few critics, some well deserved” (pg. 5), this quote as some of the beginning words from MacDonald truly shows that a leader has responsibilities to uphold to. I found it interesting that he showed these responsibilities are not only external, but internal as well. Many do not realize the internal battles that leaders in ministry go through, and in order for leaders to handle a situation in a mature manner; they must uphold to the responsibilities of character they are expected to maintain. There are many internal and external expectations of leaders that are specified in Building Below the Waterline, but only some really stood out to me as factors that I would practice more than others in my leadership positions.…

    go through a legal process on their own, which would cause a major logistical nightmare for the bank (Morran, 2016). So rather than sit back and wait, the plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit are calling Wells Fargo’s bluff, arguing that since the CAA’s are not meant to cover illegal bank transactions, then the bank should have no ability to shield itself from this lawsuit. A recent court filing has even gone to the point of identifying that the CAA does not cover illegal actions and that it should only apply to typical banking disputes other than fraud (Morran, 2016). Wells Fargo is trying to make the CAA the real issue of the lawsuit so that it takes attention away from dealing with all the wrong that was done to its customers because of the great deal of financial liability they may incur if the court ends up ruling in favor of the plaintiffs.…

    It has come to my attention that my daughter, Samantha Altidor had a meeting with Dr. Banks earlier this week to confirm her to graduate early as you had informed her to do. However I do not understand why Dr. Banks had told her that she needed a 3.6 GPA to qualify to graduate early, when in the 2017-2018 Inlet Grove Handbook states that she only needs a 3.2. Which she has. I do not think it was right that Dr. Banks had informed her she needed a 3.6 GPA now. If it was already written down in handbook for this school year then it wouldn’t be fair to change it now especially since my daughter had began speaking to you about this from the beginning of the school year and you had not mentioned she needed a 3.6 GPA once.…

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.
