Career Autobiography Narrative
As a child, I never needed anything; I never wanted something that I did get. My father was a decent provider and my mother was a stay mother; however, becoming a parent a young age forces anyone to become an adult and start taking responsibilities.
My career journey started at the age of 18. For the past 20 years I have had about 10 jobs, ranging from receptionist to cleaning gym locks. My first job was a part time travel agent/tax prepare at the age of 17-18, at a friend’s agency. After working there for about for almost 2 years, I applied for another job at another travel agency for a full time position; I worked there for 3 years. While working there, the agency closed their doors, leaving me without a job. After months of unsuccessful search for a job, I realized why I was not getting a job, it was my

During the training I met the person that changed my career life; her name was Isabel, whom I might add, was the VP of a non-profit organization. She gave me her card and told me once the course finishes to give call her. She informed that, the agency where she works was in the process of creating two new positions and she felt that I was a perfect candidate. After I completed the training, I gave her a call; she expressed to me that they still ironing the last details of the positions, and that in about 2-3 months the position could be mine. After few months of waiting, I started to work as a preventive services case aide; I worked there for about 2 years; however, I transferred to another department that was closer to home. At the new position, I was working as a family support worker, I worked there for about 5 years, but life happens. Now I have been working as a case manager for about 7 years and my next step, hopefully is to acquire my degree and start my own non-profit
There was very many trials and events during this time, so much so I could write a book so this is really only the tip of the tip of the iceburg.
I was never a kid that knew who I would become when I grow up. My interests ranged from wanting to become an interior designer to having a strong desire of becoming a pilot. I was often surrounded by healthcare professionals but I never imagined myself striving to become one. Little did I know that I would end up at a stage in my life where I would be sure about pursuing a career in healthcare. Although I have decided on my career path, I have yet to discover a particular field within healthcare that grabs my interest. The RA Internship will help me learn more about medicine and help me find a right field of study through clinical research experience and monthly lectures offered to me as an intern. Though this opportunity I will be able to
In my early forties, I was given a second chance to choose a career. I was laid off from my workplace of 18 years due to a slump in the oil industry. I started working with an employment agency to perfect my resume and come up with creative ways that my skills transferred to other industries, but my heart wasn’t in it. My job had meant to be a short-term pit-stop on my way to realizing my true purpose, one that got too comfortable. This was an opportunity for me to select a meaningful career that I could be proud of.
The most interesting thing from this paper was I tried convincing one of my friends to write a career narrative. I learned a lot about myself from taking the time to figure out what has influenced me in the direction that I have ended up in. He is very much lost in what he wants to do in life and he does nothing to change that. He very much focuses on the negative aspects of what has happened in life and I want him to see how those choices, along with the positive, have gotten him to where he is now. I did not think that I would try to put into practice what I learned from this paper so quickly into my life.
According to their BMI chart I was considered obese at two hundred and twenty pounds of solid muscle. I was told to drop down to one hundred and eighty pounds. The worst part about it was that I had just three months. I worked hard at the gym, three times a day, seven days a week. While going though this challenged I became homeless. I could not let this stop me because I knew it was all temporary. It took me just about a month and half to drop about forty pounds. It was probably the second hardest thing I ever had to do. When I dropped the weight, I was able to move to Massachusetts with family and keep up the recruitment process in NYC. It was not an easy thing to do, constant mailing, scanning, phone calls, and some traveling back and forth just to complete it all. Finally after a year of the first ever initial call I was being shipped to boot camp in
Many people have left legacies from when they were alive. Some are good, and some are bad. Those people may not agree with what they have left behind, and some may be perfectly okay with theirs. For me, I would like to leave behind a legacy that shows my family that I was a good person. I would want them to know that I had good intentions for my life and that I wanted to do good for myself and others. In this essay, I will explain what I would like my legacy to be like.
Another thing that was great was I didn’t have any bills not even a cellular bill. Majority of my money went to casual clothing for work, going out with friends, and McDonalds. It felt great being responsible at an early age, because having a job and not depending on parents is always a good thing because I didn’t have to ask for everything. After I had my first job allowance didn’t exist anymore. I felt like a man at an early age.
First I just want to point out the obvious and say that you have an enormous heart. It must be so hard for you meeting these inmates and seeing their potential and most times seeing them revert to their old ways. I think that has to be the most painful part of it all. I know your supervisor once told you “our mission can’t be affected by individual successes or failures.”- Alice Layton. Which is what kept you going. It’s true, but it doesn’t take the sad disappointing feelings away. It’s amazing what you do, but it’s also very hard emotionally. For that I salute you. I love how invested you truly are. That fact that they feel comfortable enough to speak to you about the crimes they have committed is insane. That just goes to show how committed you are to helping them better themselves. In addition to
I previously attended Texas A&M University and received a degree in Political Science. I found myself writing many papers for this field but mostly research papers. Although I have this experience in writing, they were mostly just regurgitating information in an organized way.
A memory that i will always remember, oftenly think of is a memory with my sister. I was about twelve at the time, she had just turned ten. Our parents had been divorced for a couple years, we were living with my dad in farmington while my mom was under treatment in rehab for opiate and alcohol abuse. We came home one day from school and started doing our daily chores while our dad was still working. Well do to all the tension in our lives at the time, and the fact that i hadn't be able to bear my sister since she was like four we fought all the time. Any little thing there was to fight about we did sometimes word sometimes bare knuckles. We agreed on doing the kitchen and that it was my turn to wash the dishes,
Think of what you would think of on your final day of life. Sitting in your hospital bed,
Writing is a key in everyday life, whether it is going unrecognized or not communication is largely dependent on writing rater then face to face relations. Growing up writing an essay or a story wasn’t always as important as sending that one text out to a friend. Many times instead of working on an assignment people tend to text, and write on social media instead. Although by doing this in the end, you are still writing, although for some it doesn’t count as that text maybe something they are passionate about unlike their assignment. The concept of writing then goes unacknowledged and isn’t looked at as a fun activity for many. This tends to happen after submitting assignments and not receiving the grade you may
What kind of name is Princess Ja’Nai Farkhanda Ibinah “DVS” Abdul-Wajibul Lavender (pronounced Juh-Nā-Ya , Fuh- Con- Da, Devious, Wa- Gee- Boo)? It’s a unique name and it happens to be mine. It has been mispronounced, the butt of many jokes, even a bullying tool, but most importantly it is the perfect name for me, because its meaning is true to my life and personality.
Throughout life, people are influenced by others when it comes to career paths. For example, career paths can be directed by our backgrounds such as family and culture. The career path I chose has been influenced by family and those who support me and encourage me during school. The career path, I have chosen is to work with women survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. I will discuss how self-assessments helped me gain an understanding, which careers might be worth pursuing because of my interests.
Throughout my life, I feel like I have been pretty successful. I have been able to accomplish some of my personal goals, while both being able to give back to my community and plan for my future. I hope that my with the success I have had already, will help me have an even more successful life in the future.
