Lone Bower : Personal Experience In The Lone Ranger

" The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams."- Oprah Winfrey. This quote meant a lot to a 13 year old youngster named Jared, who lived in the most impoverished town within Cambodia. To be quite specific, Jared resided in an old, rusty village, during the year of 2001, that he'd been living in since birth. His greatest aspiration in life was to become a geneticist. However, he did have a few roadblocks, such as poverty, and zero education. Whenever unoccupied, he strived to pay his Grandma Seda a visit at her senior citizen home, which was funded through the Cambodian government. Speaking of her, Grandma Seda was 96 year old lady and happened to be the grandmother of Jared. She was located at a senior citizen home 20 miles away from Jared's home. Six months ago she was diagnosed with leukemia and slow organ failure. Since her diagnosing, her health has been deteriorating rapidly.

I worked on a job that I believed that I would have until I retired from corporate America. Throughout my career, I received many promotions, accolades and raises. In January 1988, after leaving the US Army, I relocated to Dallas Texas began working for FoxMeyer Drug Company which was later purchased by McKesson Corporation. I stayed with the company for 24 years until I reached the glass ceiling that no one wants to talk about existing and was forced out.

My bosses back then, as well as my customers, knew they could put me in hard working conditions and count on me to get things done. I worked in boiler rooms, on telephone poles and in cramped crawlspaces. They knew I was dedicated and responsible enough to get done anything that I had to. They also trusted me to be accountable in that when I had to go into someone's house and start drilling holes in walls, or digging trenches, that I wouldn't mess something up or punch a bunch of holes we didn't need. I was respectful of someone's house- even when they didn't mind, I still respected that. It gave people a good impression when you treat their home nice. It also generated compliments, which made it to my bosses and up the chain, and I got lots of thanks for that. When layoffs came, I was always held over- it was usually the unaccountable, lazy ones that got canned. Lying was also a big deal, as everyone messes up sometimes- but being honest about things not going your way is a lot better than lying and making excuses. Excuses and lies got people kicked off of job sites. Being honest gave me job security.

In 1949, Joseph Campbell popularized his version of the monomyth, or the hero’s journey. In this version, there were seventeen stages which were split into three distinct categories including the Departure, the Initiation, and finally, the Return. Over the course of several years, there have been numerous versions of the hero’s journey; most of them derived from Joseph Campbell’s initial version. After watching “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”, I was able to categorize the events in the movie into Christopher Vogler’s version of the hero’s journey which consists of twelve stages. The twelve stages are 1. The ordinary world, 2. The call to adventure, 3. Refusal of the call, 4. Meeting the master, 5. Crossing the threshold, 6. Tests, allies, and enemies, 7. Approaching the dragon’s den, 8. The ordeal, 9. Seizing the treasure, 10. The road back, 11. Resurrection, and finally, 12. Return with the treasure. However, modern film tends to stray from the typical hero’s journey more than the usual traditional epic poem.

“If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything“, is a favorite statement of my grandmother, Gloria Wheeler. Born in 1940 in Remus, Michigan, she was the youngest and the only girl in her family. My grandmother is a kind, active seventy-five year old with the heart of a lion. Even at an older age, she continues to sing and act in front of large groups and memorize large scripts. My grandma, better known as Gaga, has four children; one girl and three boys. Fortunately, my father is one of her children. My grandmother inspires me to work hard, do my best, and be selfless to everyone I meet.

I have not had very much experience as an employee during my youth. My first time doing real world work was the day that I volunteered at my father’s office at the New York City Department of the Aging for two hours. It was apparently a day off from work because no one other than him, myself, and his supervisor were there, but I helped my father organize and file some papers. After my brief stint as a volunteer, my first, and only, actual job I was paid for was over this summer at the Eileen Abraham Insurance Agency. I got the job through a program called the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP). This program helped young adults, like myself, get summer jobs around the city in various different fields. I specifically chose the Eileen

From day one on the Tonawanda Titans I have felt the true meaning of team. Having joined freshman year, the transition was made easy thanks to this family unit that supports each other every stroke of the way. As a result of this great environment I thrived on going to practice to better myself, which ultimately enabled myself to share my passion for this sport with my fellow teammates both young and old.

I was making a lot more money on the floor then at the front registers, especially with the commission checks rolling in on special orders. I was making a solid figure and decided to take a road trip with two of my best friends, however the road trip ended up going for about 4 weeks. I only had enough vacation for 2 weeks, but we didn’t want to return, so I decided to call out, but that only lasted so long. Upon my return, I was let go from my job, since I failed to abide to the company’s attendance policy. I was unemployed for about 2 months, when I was referred to Best Western International Corporate office. During my unemployment period, I felt miserable and was extremely disappointed in my decision. I didn’t want my family to find out, so I would go out and hang out at my friend’s place and return after an 8-hour shift. I was hired on to Best Western in 2008, where I was a reservations agent taking inbound calls for hotel reservations. I quickly moved around departments getting crossed trained in a number of different fields, which included Rewards and Customer Service and worked on the Language team helping Spanish callers. I then became promoted to a Lead and Customer Care Fulfillment

My uncle, Gary Norder, is my American Hero because of his devotion toward me, and my family, The times he spends with me, and the effort he puts toward to support his family and mine amazes me. My uncle and his brothers started a company called Custom Caulking. The Norder brothers say it's been hard for them, but they still manage to sustain a wealthy business.

Sam was walking home from the Morrisville Market with a full bag of groceries. The sun was hot and no clouds were in sight. He smelled the fresh bread being baked in the shops. He felt like nothing could go wrong, and oh how wrong he was about that. The sidewalk was cracked right in front of Lana’s Diner glowed an odd red light. “What the……AHHHHHH!” When a garbage truck pulled up the garbage man found Sam lying face down on the sidewalk with a \

It was a Friday night, at the Peoria Civic Center. I was there for the Heartland Heroes Concert. This was a fundraiser for the American Red Cross. I went to the concert with my mom, Ashley, and her mom. RaeLynn, Scotty McCreery, and another local girl country singer was there. The concert was incredible. The concert ended at about 10:00 P.M. We all went out to dinner after the concert. We all decided on Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. When we arrived at Buffalo Wild Wings they told us we could sit out on the patio or the bar. The main dining area was full. We decided to sit out in the patio. The patio was all enclosed, so it wasn’t cold out there. We chose to sit at a small square table in the back. There was only one other group of people out

Inc. I had a wide variety of duties and responsibilities, and I was constantly trying to learn as much as I possibly could. My job title was a Strategic Finance Intern, so my duties revolved around strategic decision making for the company. I worked closely with the multiple groups including Corporate Strategy and Product Development. However, I worked specifically in the Steelcase’s New Business Innovation group, so I was in charge maintaining the financial spending for that department. I worked with the two startups companies that Steelcase has developed internally, by helping them make strategic growth decisions based off of the financial analysis I had done. On top of that, I was also in charge of planning and forecasting for the months ahead and as of right now, I am in the middle of planning for the next fiscal year. In addition, at the end of every month, and at the end of the fiscal quarters I am in charge of closing the books for the entire department as well as reporting revenues to the Corporate Finance team so they can report all of Steelcase’s earnings to the Shareholders. I had to follow all of the GAAP guidelines when closing the books as Steelcase is a publically traded company. I would also receive ad-hoc request’s to do a financial analysis on a current problem either for either one of the startups we were facing, so it was anything from a sales timeline, to modeling

The company I was working for I found out that they was just taking people and throwing them in places that they had open with very little training. Every time I turned around I was getting in trouble for something that they did not train me for, and when I would say something to them I would get wrote up. So, I believe in that job a lot of my talents and abilities were

For the last 7 years I have been employed by Schindler Elevator Corporation. I was initially hired as a summer intern to construct pocket size installation manuals from field technician’s notes, to ship out in boxes of modernization hardware. After my internship, I was hired part time to continue my work and was tasked with other activities. I tend to be a lazy person, but I’m also meticulous and need things done perfectly. This has led me to streamline processes for multiple activities while at work, so as to reduce the actual amount of effort I have to put forth, and save time and money.
