12 February 2013 My First Day at Work When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait until I was old enough to get a job. Sure, it would be a good way to make friends and learn how to prepare myself for the real world, but for me, it was mostly about making my own money. Having to ask my parents for cash every time I needed some annoyed me, mostly because they’d always say no. Every time they did, I would always whine and complain about how different things would be when I had money of my own, how I would never
It was the very first day of first grade. I starred at the dork across the room. He had glasses, a goofy bowl haircut, and a sweater vest. I recall thinking to myself I would never be friends with him, just look at him, he 's such a geek. Half of the school year had gone by and I made sure I never talked to him, not even one time. I had kept this record going for a while until one day I decided to take my dog for a walk. Walking him through the neighborhood, I noticed a couple of kids playing inside
1. In elementary school, I had two best-loved teachers. My kindergarten teacher, Dr. Barron had the kindest heart. My first day of school, I scarcely remember her greeting each student with a friendly smile. That first day we learned her class song. “Dr. Barron’s bunnies come to school every day, school every day, school every day”. Throughout the remaining years in elementary school, I would visit her class for a friendly conversation. My second favorite teacher in elementary school was Mrs. Jacobson
start your day off with a two mile walk in the heat. Finally, you get to the small, one room schoolhouse, and it has no air conditioning. Everyone around you is so much taller than you, meaning they are probably a lot older than you as well. The teacher looks at you and tells you to take a seat, but all you want to do is turn around and be anywhere else but there. Seems a little scary, right? Well this is how my grandma’s first day of school went. This is nothing like a typical first day of school
just a couple of days after applying. Before going into my first day of work, I memorized the company’s website, trying to gather as much information as I could from it. I was excited to learn that the development department was female lead and, according to the website, composed of mostly women. In fact, the majority of the leadership positions at the company were occupied by women. Both my family and I were happy and pleasantly surprised that I would be getting the opportunity to work in such a rare
Katy, my best friend, as we walked along the industrialized streets of New York. “We can’t be late for our first day of work!” I continued to yammer. I might have been a bit annoying, but I had a reason to rush her. It was our first day of work at the Twin Towers. I was so excited! Plus, my dear husband worked in the same building. Well not quite, he worked on the seventy-seventh floor, while I worked on the first floor. Everything was as I imagined it would be. I was a waitress in 2001, but my goal
The first day of my observation started on a Monday at 8:30 am in the morning. As I approached the classroom, I was met at the door with a warm and friendly salutation. My mentor teacher was excited to see me and as we converse about my goals for observation; she shared with me that I was her first observer. Once I entered into the classroom, I noticed that it was empty, because the students were at specials. “Specials” are the names for gym, art, library, or music. As I observed around, it emanated
When I started Century College this year in the fall of 2015. I was so certain, I was going to just focus on school rather than work. When it was time to pick out courses I wasn’t sure, I knew I didn’t want to talk classes on Friday and Saturday. I then decided to enroll myself into all reading courses, so I joined the New Students and Success 1000.07 course that was conjoined with reading 900.07. I thought choosing this course would be easy and laid back. With the reading course, it made me think
For the first day of my internship, I participated to an orientation with the ODOT administration, and the human resources representatives. It was an information session regarding the safety rules and discipline. In the afternoon, I participated in a tour of the department and was introduced to various personnel. The second day of my internship, I was involved in a safety training, and some outdoor activities, such as flagging on the road side and backing up ODOT’s trucks. In the afternoon, I met
