Recommended: A short note on self improvement

A big event in my life that definitely had an influence in my maturing is the experience of getting my first official job.

While I find myself sometimes having trouble focusing and waiting until a deadline is right in front of me, I do make sure to get things done. I almost always follow through and on the off chance I cannot, I make sure to make it up to that person one way or another.

It is my responsibility to own up to my actions and apologize for failures. Morals and ethics are a big part of this. If I find that something is going on that I cannot morally agree with, I will not support it.

Responsibility will definitely help me in the future as employers always look to make sure that employees are following guidelines and following through with what they say they will do. Enthusiasm to take responsibility will help me do a great
