I always try my best to be a moral and honorable individual and am always humbled when I get the opportunity to volunteer and give…

There are several facts that appeal to me in considering working for Whole Foods. A workplace the treats people with fairness with consideration for the customer seems like a win-win situation. The core values at Whole Foods give employees a chance to be active members of the organization by giving them opportunities to share their thoughts and idea. By working for an organization that cares about its employees motivates one to go to work each day (Declaration of Independence, 2017). Another…

I have been playing soccer for an organization called AYSO, since the age of five. This organization is overseen at Liberty Park, which previously was a burn dump before the conversion to a park. As a kid I was very care free and never thought about the consequences that may follow an ignorant decision. Over the years I adopted the nickname “wild child” by my parents because I wore shoes the least I could, but my bad habit quickly changed in the matter of one day. It was a hot afternoon at…

I started playing tennis at the age of 4 years old. Not only that I have always enjoyed working hard on the court, all of my family members were somehow connected to tennis. When I was smaller, I used to play either with my father, mother, or my uncle. They all have been great tennis players, and I think that is one of the reasons that pushed me forward in becoming a professional tennis player. I knew from the beginning that trying to build your career to the highest level is extremely difficult…

I grew up in single parent family home where depression existed, seeing my mom cry herself to sleep while taking sleeping pills is an immensely painful memory. At a very young age, I became my mother’s care taker so that made my pain and feelings unimportant. During this time was when I felt forsaken and so pressurized to grow up. I felt I was living a nightmare. Over the years I became an older sister and caretaker to three siblings. I started raising my first sibling at age nine. I invariably…

This was a huge step to play varsity soccer as a freshman in high school. Two minutes…
