As I mentioned in the previous assignment, I want to increase my baseline 500 steps each week so that by the end of the semester I am recording 10,000 steps which is in the active range. I will continue walking around the property at work and stepping in place whenever I possibly can. I will stick to walking to the mailbox which is two blocks from home as opposed to driving up to it on my way home. If I have days where I am tired I will just give myself another pep talk. I have a pretty good support system thus far so I will lean on them if pushing myself on my own does not cut it.…
Variety in the Pantry My father used to be a chef so he knows how to cook for a crowd. Every time he cooks we have leftovers for what seems like weeks. My sister and I often got very tired of what we were eating and my father would be the one stuck struggling to eat all the extra food. My sister and I developed what is called food fatigue.…
During my junior year in high school I didnt like the job I was working at. I knew that Tractor Supply was being built and I applied for a job. My family thought that there was no way that they would hire me. I really had no work experience because I was only working for family. A little while after that Alisha Jewell called me in for an interview.…
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 was working at on the Chicago Transit Authority, (CTA) train station in the customer assistant service department. My job responsibilities included assisting customers with directions and handling of emergency situations, monitoring and handling elevator entrapments, as well as viewing camera film. I assisted and helped people who have fallen on the tracks, dropped things on the tracks. Sometimes my job would just consist of helping people get to their destinations, but mainly the thing I mentioned as well and documenting and reporting incidents.…
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 idea of being told that I had to work for the first time made me want to eat glass; but could it possibly have turned out for the better? In England, when you reach 10th grade you participate in a nationally accepted program called 'Work Experience'. ' Work Experience' is when you work just like you would if you were legally an adult except with this program it only lasts a week. After 2 weeks of tireless searching I landed a job at Ariya Capital; an experienced developer and investor in clean energy and infrastructure projects throughout sub-Saharan Africa. It was actually much more advanced than any job I ever thought of getting.…
These pass three weeks have been putting more hours than what I usually work. I had worked overtime and haven’t really had time to do and focus on my schoolwork. It is really hard working fulltime and being a fulltime student. Many things still have to get done but so little time. However many people go though this because they have responsibility and bills to pay.…
I never expected working at a fast food restaurant to change my life. When I first applied online, I had a preconceived notion about what my experience at Chipotle would be like. I expected the fast food restaurant to be like any other I had heard about. I would go to work, make food, then go home. In direct contrast, the environment at Chipotle is like nothing I’ve ever experienced, not even in a Christian school.…

Have you ever been told by your parents that you are not responsible enough? My mothers’ favorite thing to do was to tell me I was not responsible. As being a kid, our favorite thing to do was to prove our parents wrong. What better way than to prove them wrong with buying your own dog? The responsibility that comes with a dog is greater than people realize.…
For the last 9 years I have worked in the restaurant industry. Dishwasher, bus girl, hostess, waitress, you name it and I have worked it. I have never been afraid to get my hands dirty and feel blessed for my work experience. The crazy restaurant world has taught me a strong work ethic, communication skills, and many other crucial life lessons that cannot be bought.…
The Trip to the Grocery Store I haven’t seen him in weeks or maybe even months, I thought as I glared across the small distance between where I was standing and my dad’s car. With my One Direction CD clutched in my hands, I started to close the distance by walking towards his car. I opened the door and slipped in, and then he started to drive to the grocery store. At the time I was under the illusion that my dad would be even slightly happy to see me, but no.…
