Recommended: Job Corps experience

My most memorable day was when I came to Job Corps, September 1, 2015. On my way to here I was scared and nervous. I was on the phone with my mom all the way here. I was asking her what if everybody was mean, what if I didn’t like the place. So many questions went through my head. I started crying. I was on a greyhound bus. It seemed like it took forever. I arrived during the day time. When the Atterbury bus came to pick me up there were several other students waiting to be picked up. The only person I met at the bus station was this old man. He gathered us all up together and took us into the van. On our way to Atterbury we all got to talking. We asked each other why we all came to Job Corps. Everybody have different situations as to why

  • Personal Narrative: My Service Learning Experience

    One person cannot tackle the vast amount of issues of today and change the world. With so many injustices that occur in today’s society we can’t help but feel overwhelmed as to what people, as citizens of the world, can do to make the world an exceptional environment. Many believe the task is either too large and intimidating to face head on, or they don’t want to face the possibility of failure and criticism. We have the idea of taking on enormous tasks and expect change almost immediately, however, it’s not the anticipated outcome. Real change starts when one contributes to their community; the smallest of impacts generate the biggest changes in the long run.

    One of the most memorable bus experiences in my life happened when I was in fifth grade. The final bell at school had rung, so I sprinted out to the bus with a few of my friends to save seats since our bus was always crowded. After we flung our backpacks into the four back seats, we ran back inside the school to buy some Mountain Dew from the pop machine in the cafeteria. After jamming our quarters into the machine and snatching the cans out of the bin, we sprinted back outside to make sure we did not miss the bus. It was still there, in all its yellow glory, so we hurried through the doors and onto the bus.

  • Personal Narrative: Stepping Onto CMC

    496 Words  | 1 Pages

    Stepping onto CMC, I was captivated by the modern style architecture that complemented the entire campus. The first building that caught my eye was the Kravis Leadership Institute because of its mismatched placement of perpendicular rectangles. The rectangles added grit to the character of CMC. The building acted as a direct symbolization of how I felt CMC would add to my character through its leadership sequence. Throughout four years, the sequence would offer me a basis to add layers to my prior leadership skills through expanding my scientific, philosophical, and literary approaches to leadership. Although at first mismatched to my primary layer of leadership developed in ASB, the sequence offers another “rectangle” to build myself to the future leader I hope to one day encompass.

    During my freshman year of college, 2015-2016, I worked at my first job, Kroger. I was never a cashier, nor a stocker, I had the privilege of working in the bakery, and the Deli. I only worked in the bakery for about a month and had I stayed any longer I would have quit. I learned three things about work during those nine months; do not sign up for a union if you only view the job as temporary work, good coworkers are gold and can make any job bearable, at least for nine months, and managers are useless nuisances that exist to impede work. The last point is not just an emotionally charged claim fueled by one poor experience with a manager at one company, The novel Nickel and Dimed by Ehrenreich and the movie Office Space support the idea that
