The summer of 2014 was very exciting. I just landed my first job working on a farm. As I drove my moped down the road the very next day I had chills running down my back thinking to myself, “What is the worst possible outcome?” As I pulled into the driveway I heard all of the cows out on their pasture fields, heavy machinery humming, and the grain bins spinning. I went up to my boss and he gave me some duties that had to be fulfilled. After completing those tasks he told me to hop into their skid loader. He showed me how to operate the machine. I was nervous, excited, but at the same time stressed out because I have never operated any heavy machinery once in my life. My boss said, “Don’t worry it’s really easy to use.” After I was comfortable
shock of my life, I saw that I had been fired. The boss had told me he
I turned in an application for the position of yearbook editor at my high school at the end of junior year. The two current editors and my yearbook teacher interviewed me for the position. These editors were my friends of course, but I was still so nervous, I wanted to prove to them that I was an eligible candidate. I got a few laughs in but tried to keep it as professional as I could. A few days passed and I had begun questioning the status of my application. One day in class, my teacher called me in the hallway. He was standing outside and asked me if I would like to accept the position of the editor. I was frozen, caught off guard, I was not expecting this. My heart was racing, I could feel my face getting warmer, I couldn’t speak all I could do was laugh nervously. I finally got myself together to form the word “yes.”As a freshman, I never would have thought that I would be taking on such a big responsibility. It wasn’t
Growing up all my friends had perfect jobs for teenagers. As a teenager, I spent a lot of time applying for jobs and searching for places to work because money didn’t come easy and I wanted to be in control of my own money. But I could never score a job. I applied to at least 100 jobs at least twice and I still couldn’t get an opportunity.
In the beginning of 2012, I lost my job and have been searching for a job for several months. At that time I was very stressed because I could not find anything that was suitable for me. One weekend, I decided to go to the shopping mall for some window shopping because i...
Along with creating steps which will lead me towards my ultimate career goal, the creation of a specific five-year plan for myself was key. In five years I will be in school, hopefully in my final year of my Masters degree; a plan which seems so simple to achieve, however requires an extensive amount of hard work and dedication. Being so far in my academic career already, I will hopefully have worked in summer internships or been employed during the year by a speech-language pathologist or various health institutions to gain experience in the profession and potentially become full time employed by one of these institutions post-graduation. Within the five years, I will have as well established networks and built relationships with multiple
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you someone else is the greatest accomplishment.” This quote is by Ralph Waldo Emerson. He was a man who always put his education as a top priority, so I highly admire him. As I read this quote, I realized that my greatest accomplishment is something that I am constantly progressing and excelling in, my education. There are three reasons that I will explain as to why my education is my greatest accomplishment. First, education has never been a factor in any of my family member’s lives. Secondly, it took a long time for me to get on track with my educational values. Lastly, I will explain how far my education has gotten me.
Im sure youve heard I quit my job. I couldn't help it when I saw an article that described exact events that happen to me 3 years ago when I was laid off/quit/fired from a headache and physical therapy office. That was also the point where I was in the worse shape and couldn't "deal" with anything because I had to much "Baggage" I felt I was responsible for (uncontrollable circumstances).
An easy four hour day of work was coming. As I walked into the store I felt the excitement of the employees. I calmly start the day excited and anxious. I start talking to people and co-workers. As the hours past, my excitement slowly grew. After my two easy hours I took my ten minute break, I walk to break room and sit calculating my hours and money. Ten o’clock it was, I walk firmly up to the front desk and ask the manager if I can leave and get my paycheck. She calmly responded yes and hands me my check. As I am walking to a register to cash it I would feel the excitement running through me. I handed it to the cashier she does her work and tell me “here you go” with a big smile on her face. At that moment I felt like I had earned my own money feeling proud, satisfied, and independent. Right then and there I felt like I owned the whole world. I came home happy finally feeling

He then asked me if I have a bike and told me to bring it to work tomorrow. The boss's name is called Fin. The restaurant is about thirty minutes train ride from my house. The first day I got to work early, I was waiting outside for ten minute then I see two workers coming.
It takes one person to change the trajectory of another person’s life. During my work experience I dealt with instances where my ethics, empathy, and professionalism guided me when handling patient’s problems. For example, a patient’s, (I will call Tom) MRI results showed a congenital anomaly in his brain. As a result, Tom required a consult with a brain specialist. Unfortunately, Tom recently aged out of the foster care system; and was lacking insurance coverage; the financial means; and supports for medical treatment. To clarify, my task of notifying the patient was completed, but I felt compelled to further aid Tom by securing a brain consult for him. After days of phone calls, I learned Tampa General Hospital provides medical services to the indigent and they agreed to see Tom. For this purpose, I advised Tom to go to Tampa General, nonetheless he was resistant. Next, I persisted by calling Tom every day until he relented by admitting himself to the hospital. A few days later,
Ever since I was little I was always obsessed with the United States Military. I loved everything about it and I would listen and learn about it whenever I could. Especially World War II because of my family members’ service. I was also in love with police work because of my father. My father is a Boardman detective who used to tell me about his job daily when I used to live at home. I have an interest in both careers and jobs, so I’ve decided to conclude with my career search. Earlier in my career search I wanted to join the United States Navy and shoot my shot with the United States Naval Special Operations Community. Sense I was in the eighth grade I always wanted to get into special forces. As I matured I realized I want to stay home and
This was the happiest I had been since my dads death. My mom was extremely proud of me and we had a party. We invited Jamal and some other neighbors around. That summer I started talking to Jamal more and I was at a great spot in my life. A few days after the party I started thinking about what I wanted to do with my life and the first thing that came into my mind was being an entrepreneur and owning my own business. I started thinking of things that I could make into a business that would make a difference. I decided that I would try and create an app that would put all of the jobs around you that have an open spot into one place. I thought that this would be good because there is a ton of people that don’t have jobs in Compton and in
It was Wednesday, a cold, dark, stormy Wednesday. I was coming home from a long day at work. My boss just demoted me, and my paycheck has been lowered. I thought I was going broke because I was demoted last week too. I was in my 2008 model Honda that was not worth a penny.
It was a Saturday afternoon, when my friend Jalissa came over and wanted me to go to the mall with her. Jails had just gotten hired at the mall and hadn’t been on a shift since. On the car ride to the mall, she mentioned that she had gotten the job at Aeropostale and that the manager was still looking for employees. Being desperate for a job and money, I took it all in and as soon as we got to our destination, I was ready to put on my professional mask. Walking into the store, which I hadn’t shopped there in years because it was always so expensive. I noticed a tall, lean, and handsome guy in the back folding shirts,that guy was Cornell Brown, the store manager . I had spoken with him and mentioned that I wanted an opportunity to work for the company and he nonchalantly handed me an application and I quickly ran to a nearby store for a pen to fill it out. After about five minutes, I was back with the piece of paper that could be my golden ticket for a job. Cornell began to ask me questions, the question t...
