I have been fired from my job. What do I do? I need to look for other options. I’m going to be unemployed and there’s going to be no way to support myself. I won’t be able to have a nice wife, kids, or future. As the looks of it I’m gonna be a bum out on the streets. If I don’t get my act together I’m gonna have to apply for unemployment. The path I’m going, I’m going to be someone that works at a gas station. And I’m going to be living in my parent’s basement. I have made a bad decision and now I need to learn from it. The real world is scary. You’re all on your own and no one to be by your side. You’ll be moved out of the house and be all on your own. In the real world, you don’t get second chances. After getting fired you can’t go back …show more content…
To be a game warden you have to have a high school degree. And you need to go to college for four to eight years, depending on what degree and pay I want. A college won’t accept me unless I have my high school diploma. The path I’m going it’s not looking so good. It’s time for me to grow up and take responsibilities for my own actions. It’s not too late to turn my life around and do some good for once. I need to try harder. School is like our job. The biggest part about a job is getting along with others just like in school. All of this punk kid, I’m cooler than you kid stuff has got to stop or else I’m never going to succeed in life. This crap that I’ve been pulling isn’t going to hurt anybody but me. I wish I could go back and redo the bad decisions I made and make them right. But that’s not going to happen so I should look to the future. The only reason I’ve been going to school is to see my friends. That should not be my reason. My number one reason for going to school is for an education. My number one priority at the end of the day should be that I go home and do my homework and chores. Not going outside and playing on my phone. From this day forward I’m a changed man. I’ve gave my parents my phone and told them not to give it back till I pull my act together and bring my grades up. I’m working hard towards quitting lying and messing other peoples life’s …show more content…
Everything I do will affect my future whether it’s good or bad. My reputation is bad right now. Everyone takes me as a liar because I am to scared to own up for my own actions. This is not who I want to be. I want to be a somebody, not an anybody. I want a nice wife and two kids to look after. I want a family of my own. I just want to be a somebody. I need to care more about my grades and look at everything around me and take it in that it’s all here to help me. To benefit my future. To make me a somebody. I don’t want to be unemployed. I don’t want to be the one that every dollar he makes goes towards food. I don’t want to be the one that can’t afford gas for his vehicle and has to ride a bike to work. I don’t want to be the one that when my high school class graduates I’ll be left behind. I don’t want to be that
In the personal essay "Unemployed", by Kenyon MacDonald, (2016), MacDonald claims that his termination that he viewed as one of the worst experiences in his life, to be a pivotal moment where he changed job careers and went back to school. He asserts that this termination gave him a new appreciation for what he has and he develops this idea by giving us background concerning his job employment. He then tells us what led to his being fired and how it made him feel. His purpose is to let young people know that in this world of change, it is important to appreciate what you have because it could change at any moment. His intended audience is other young people.
We lived way out in the sticks in a trailer park community it was a nice community my uncle had lived there for many years. Its 2007 and I already took and passed my GED with flying colors I needed to find a job and I really didn’t know much so I asked a friend of mine who worked for this guy named frank. Frank had a business where he would install granite counter tops and tile floors he was looking for someone to help remove and install the counter tops and tile. I was nervous I had never done anything like this before I was only use to either cutting grass or construction jobs with my dad that only pertained to nailing wood and sheets of plywood up. I had worked for frank for about a year and a half before I had to quit I missed California too much I wanted to move back I missed the warm air and the smell of the dairies and that breeze from the ocean air when it hits you I missed all of that so I moved back and I moved in with my dad. I have had a few jobs in my life that didn’t last very long either the time wasn’t right or whatever but I ended up getting hired at the Walmart distribution center and it was a blessing in disguise because now we can get by. Even though we still have to live paycheck to paycheck we can now not stress as much as how we were going to make it work, how we were
People say high school is supposed to be the golden years of your life. I don’t know what else in life is to come; however, my philosophy is to live in the moment and make the life you’re living in the present worthwhile into the future, not only for you but for those who surround you. I live my life participating in our community and getting involved in our school. The activities, and the people I’ve formed relationships with, are what have formed me into the person I am today. The person I am today is not perfect, but I have learned from the mistakes I’ve made.
The job wasn’t what I wanted to be doing but it was able to get my mind off not being in school, not having my own place and again being back in Las Vegas. At the end of 2007, right when started to get comfortable and used to being back in Las Vegas, I was told yet again that I would be moving back to Las Vegas with my family in Palmdale, California. That seemed to be the worst news I heard and the worse decision for myself. Although I would have loved nothing more but to move back to California but Palmdale, I knew that I wouldn’t be happy. Sad to say, I was right, very right! I became lost again, very suicidal and nothing seemed to go right after I moved back to California. My only option was to visit Las Vegas as much as I could. I began to refer as having an affair with Las Vegas, Nevada as I broke away from
shock of my life, I saw that I had been fired. The boss had told me he
...ou are not heading down the life path that you had wanted since you were young. You would have a chance to go ahead and change your life and your happiness simply because you got canned. Obviously, if you did not get fired you would not have had that chance to sit back and realize your life is sliding away in the wrong direction. Indeed, that is a very extreme example of how this question would apply to everyday life, but it works with those events of the simplest nature too.
School is something we all know and understand. Regardless of whether we wanted it or not, we have all passed through school. School is, first and foremost, a place designed for people to go and learn. It is a place to better yourself, to learn facts, discipline, to learn social and economic skills. But for all that school is intended for, people go for different reasons. Some are hardworking and academically minded, they go to learn, to set a good foundation for their future, with an aim of becoming successful and accomplished in their career. Others are carefree, going for the social side, to be popular, have lots of friends, and in the end just to have a good time. For others it can even be a place of safety, a place where they can get
I want to have these things and live this way because that's the way I want to. Like I aid before it has nothing to do with anyone else or anything else it's just how I want to live the my life. I think I would be nice to do things and not worry about bills and other money that has to go out.
I got laid off 4 months ago. Because I refused to work 60+ hour weeks, I can’t get my old managers to call me back. As a 5-year industry veteran with no industry references, I can’t get hiring managers to call me back.
Let’s flash back in time to before our college days. Back to then we had lunch trays filled with rubbery chicken nuggets, stale pizza, and bags of chocolate milk. A backpack stacked with Lisa Frank note books, flexi rulers, and color changing pencils. The times where we thought we wouldn’t make it out alive, but we did. Through all the trials and tribulations school helped build who I am today and shaped my future. From basic functions all the way to life-long lessons that helped shape my character.
People lie everyday to, in someway or another, keep themselves out of trouble. Many teenagers will lie to their parents about what they are doing for the evening, how much of their homework they have done, or how that glass vase got broken while they were out of town. We even lie to our significant others about who that other boy was that called the house or what exactly we did with our friends last night. All anyone is trying to accomplish by this is to stay out of trouble when we know we’ve done wrong. But we never think of the effects of lying. Although we think we’re being sly, parents are usually smarter than we give them credit for! And eventually our boyfriends and girlfriends will find out! Then the problem becomes the issue of trust. If you lie, there is no trust. That can be one of the serious consequences of lying.
because that really should be the most important thing in my life. I like to think of school as a
When I was growing up I wanted for nothing. I can’t remember ever not getting something I wanted after asking. If there was a gift-giving holiday coming up and I asked for a specific present my parents almost always made my current dreams come true. I wasn’t until I was around twelve that there was a specific something that I wanted that I had to wait for, to earn. I wanted my first cell phone more than anything I’d ever asked for before, and the waiting process, to this day, is still vivid. At the time it seemed prolonged and painful. Although now I realize that I wasn’t made to wait much longer than a few months, it seemed like I’d been begging for years before I finally got my wish.
I have a very fulfilling feeling about what I have been able to accomplish in my life so far. I want the absolute best for myself and those close to me. I often go above and beyond to help those around me succeed and be the best version of themselves that they can possibly be.
I woke up one day and the top part of my left arm was purple and the bottom part of it had red blotches all over it. I was already seeing a specialist for my arm. So I had called the doctor and he said he wanted to see me that day. When I went in he said “I wasn’t getting any circulation to the bottom part of my arm and my hand and that I needed surgery right away or I was going to lose my arm.” I went in on a Tuesday he had me in for surgery that Friday. The same day I went to the doctor to be released back to work. I had received a letter telling me that I was fired. I called the human resource department and the gentleman I spoke with told me that he didn’t know why I got fired, and that he hadn’t had a chance to go over everything. The following week I called back up and got the same response from him. This happened in September of 2013 and I had just recently found out why I was fired. I was told that I was fired because I had taken a bit out of something before I paid for it. They had me on camera paying for it, but just because I had taken a bit out of it first, they let me
