Many students get their first job during senior year, but for me I started working as early as my freshman. At first, I was a soccer referee and a part time landscaper. After those having those jobs for a couple years, I switched over to Gracedale Nursing Home where I am currently still employed. Even Though each of the jobs I held was different from the next, they all taught me the same ideas and greatly prepared me for my future. Throughout all of my jobs, I became more financially independent, responsible and learned to interact with coworkers. Throughout each of my jobs I became more financially independent, but especially when I started working at Gracedale. When I started at Gracedale, I had to set up a bank account, direct deposit and for the first time partake in dreaded taxes. These experiences were completely new to me, and with them I learned much about personal finance. I learned how much taxes actually take out and how frustrating it can be seeing how much is taken out of each paycheck. I learned how to save and not spend money on things that are not necessary. Lastly, I learned how to finally pay for my own gas, car and be truly independent financially from my parents. All of these things truly benefited me for my …show more content…
In each job I had, I was always on time and performed each task in the most efficient manner. I knew what was expected and did whatever task or duty at hand. Sometimes the tasks were not always the most pleasurable or easiest, but I knew that they had to be done. Through working, I also learned to take responsibility for my work whether it was done right or wrong, and if it was done wrong then I would make sure to improve. Through working, I became aware of how much responsibility each worker really has and how important it is to be a responsible worker. In the future, I know there will be even more responsibilities in my life, but through working I am well
Georgia has many gun laws, which help protect the state and the people in the state. The laws range from having a permit to carry a hand gun, where you cannot carry a handgun, what kind of guns you can carry without having a firearm permit, what age someone can buy a gun. The second amendment gives us the right to bear arms not just in the state of Georgia but it gives us the right everywhere. Georgia also has a law about the possession of people with guns who was involved in a crime, minors with the possession of handguns, and possession of dangerous weapons and the possession of a firearm under the influence in the state. Gun laws are not something to play around with. Georgia takes the laws very seriously and if caught breaking the gun laws you could get in major trouble or get a ticket. Without the gun laws that Georgia has set there could be people the wrong people handling a gun that shouldn’t be. Also I believe that Georgia should enforce the laws more than they do. Retailers that sell guns should have to run more background information before they sell the gun to a person that looks like they have a behavior issues or someone who acts like they could hurt someone with a gun.
Working this job for nearly two years, it made me significantly more responsible and taught me many things about being patient. Having to deal with many different things at once, I learned how to balance things and take duties one step at a time and not get overwhelmed. This job was like taking a two year class on how to be responsible and be patient when difficulties are stacking up against you.
I believe my positive attitude towards work and helping others allowed me to work effectively as part of a team. I was proactive and always asked my senior colleagues if they required any assistance. This attitude allowed me to carry out important duties such as drafting pre contract enquiries and analysing office copies. Moreover, I was happy to help staff members in other departments such as Criminal and Family. I have collated bundles for the family department and assisted in the archiving process for the criminal department.
From as early as I can remember, I have learned the value of working hard and finishing well. I have been raised in a family, in which working hard, following through, and living with integrity were taught and modeled. We all had chores and responsibilities, and I was pushed to try new ideas and learn new skills. Both of my parents worked in professions in which they were on call 24-hours a day. My dad is a pastor and I learned that his job was more than Sunday mornings and office
I got my first job working at Panera Bread on South Beach as a cashier at the age of seventeen. It wasn’t until I transferred to the North Miami Café where I began to feel what it was like to work and have a job. I will never forget the words of my co-worker, Dan, when my manager mentioned that I was transferring to another café. “Oh, yea you’re going to have a rude awakening over there.” At first, I brushed off his comment, but as I began to go in depth about what he said, I began to realize what he said was true! We all knew that that particular café was always busy. Unlike our café, with construction being done at the time and our location, our café’s pace was calm compared to the North Miami café. We had nothing on them! As a result, it was true. My first day at my new café was staggering. I had to take a huge order, the line was to the door, and it was only 10:30 A.M. which left me with seven more hours until I was able to clock out.
Do you remember your first job? Sometimes it’s an awesome experience and other times it’s an experience one would prefer to forget. I had multiple random jobs throughout my teenage years, but it wasn’t until working as a medical assistant at a local clinic did I considered myself having a “real” job. Coming in on the first day opened minded and thankful for the opportunity for this job, feelings of excitement and nervousness came over me. This job was intended to provide work experience, new skills, and hopefully some new friends.
The demanding nature of the work has given me an added sense of responsibility but also of pride, fulfilment, and greater appreciation for hard work, ultimately making me more mature and dependable.
I quit my first job after only six months. Most people hate their first job, as they tend to be low pay with menial tasks, working with people they did not like. I wished that I could have said the same thing, would have loved to be like everyone else, but I was not. I was motivated to get the job, for the money, respect and as my father told me before getting it; I would gain a work ethic to follow me around for the rest of my life. He was a man who seemed to be well respected. For me, I looked around and the best I received seemed to be simply to be tolerated.
I think that over all the first term of graduate school went fairly well. It was indeed very stressful at times, but having classmates that are going through the same stress really helped. We were able to support each other. Half way through the term I realized that though I was doing well in school, my relationship with people back home was suffering. The time difference and my business caused me to really drift away from the people I cared about. After realizing this, I had to really be conscious of making time to keep up with my loved ones. On one or two occasions I had told my girlfriend, I was going to call, but by the time I was heading home she was already heading to bed. It was hard to find time to talk because when I finished studying it was time for bed Chicago in. However, I knew I wasn’t doing a good job, and had to fight to make my family and girlfriend a priority. I tried to communicate better and tell them my schedule so they knew when I was free to talk and when I probably
I have the ability to balance work and time to relax. It is very important to me that I do what I love and love what I do. When an individual is doing what they are meant to do, they realize their potential and purpose in life. I feel that this correlates to me in my life now, because I chose to come to Limestone to play softball and get an education as a Health Care Administrator. I am satisfied everyday in both of these important goals and reward myself for the accomplishments that I achieve to reach those goals. I one-day hope to contribute my skills and talents to my work that will be rewarding to me and people I work for. I hope to attain job satisfaction and many other important components needed for my path to becoming successful in the
Being taught unfamiliar knowledge at a new job may be a frightening experience. Especially when it is your first job ever for that matter. When I thought about work, the first idea that came to mind was extended periods of time, repetitive assignments, whining clients, and ill-humored managers. Albeit some of these perspectives might be valid, the work field taught me some imperative life lessons. Taking these lessons as an early teenager prepared me for the wonderful and awful times for future work involvement.
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
I am a hard working person and dedicated person and that is the reason why I graduated from high school, and also accomplished other things in life it’s about working harder today than yesterday, and I will not make excuses when I feel pressure or pain in my job and at the end the feeling is a success. I’m a growth mindset, and people that have a growth mindset, don’t
For the second field work experience I returned to the Crescent Hill Baptist Church after school tutoring program for young adults of the Karen ethnicity. The majority of the students were high schoolers, and from the same town in Thailand and knew each other from their hometown. A lot of the same students from my previous trip were at the after-school program, but many students attended. They all wore very similar clothing to the traditional American dress; jean, t-shirts tennis shoes. They all spoke clear and fluent English. Age and gender did not seem to be an issue within the group. All the students communicated with me and other students freely, and seemed to have a strong bond.
I quickly learned at a very young age the value of hard work. Both of my parents had worked hard to achieve their dreams of a nice home, cars, and financial stability. Their working hard not only paid off financially, but they taught my two brothers and I, that working hard was imperative to life. I was given a set of chores and an allowance every week, which taught me responsibility and how to manage money. I also realized that cooperation goes hand in hand with hard work. My brothers and I would help each other with our chores from time to time. I did not know that cooperation works on a larger scale in the workplace, that sometimes one needs help to achieve their ultimate goal.
