My most memorable moment was when I came to Job Corps. Before Job Corps I was a different person. I was more into the street life but I would have to blame my environment the PJ’s. Growing up in that environment you see a lot, hear a lot and be ahead of the kids that’s in your age group. Growing up in the hood changes your mind set to what’s going on at the moment instead of what the future brings also it’s a lot of trouble and consequence’s that’s goes along with that lifestyle. Job corps changing me as a person I now have faith that I will be somebody and become successful so I can get my family out. I’m learning patience, that if something is worth it will take time because it will take you a long way. I would have to say
Looking back on high school, one memory usually stands out. For me, it was when our band marched in the Tournament of Roses. Preceding the Rose Bowl in Pasadena every January, we were thrilled to be in the parade. Considered one of the best bands in the state, the parade officials contacted our band director. The problem was only paying for the trip. However, holding spaghetti suppers and car washes, the money was eventually raised. We went to California two days early to visit Disneyland. Covered with thousands of flowers, we also got a sneak preview of the floats. Reporting to the parade site at 6:00 a.m., our place in the parade was assigned. Marching the six-mile route, more than a million people would watch us. Watching the parade on
Working alongside peers who were very different than me, but were also similar. In Kindergarten, I was placed in an experimental classroom that was designed to integrate students with special needs into the mainstream classroom. I remember students receiving extra attention, but the teachers were always focused on each and every one of us building that connection. I still talk to Mrs. K every few years. She built a very special connection with her students.
In high school, I had a very positive experience throughout, but perhaps the most memorable experience would come from my involvement with the FFA. I remember the Ag classes was unlike any other classes on campus because we would go to the school farm to learn from hands-on experiences. My teacher Mrs. Keverline would become more than just a teacher for me she would become a role model. Mrs. Keverline would help me improve with showing pigs as my SAE project, she teaches me about the importance of agriculture, and lastly, she helps made me into the public speaker that I am today. In FFA I had the opportunity to do public speaking competition or event and at the time I was scared to do them, but glad I did because it helps me out in the long.
When I became a junior I started to become very active in my local community. This experience can be credited to Key club (a community service organization) Key club has connected me with the community in a way I never knew.
Daniel, a company I used to work for also used ADP for their payroll. The company I work for now uses Kronos to capture time punches and scheduling. When a company does not have proper software for their payroll, it makes the company look less professional. You will find many construction companies that are on the go using a manual process that causes them not to be as efficient. Companies like AT&T offers applications that will allow them to clock in and out on their phone on the job site. This causes less errors and you are able to track the employee to make sure their time is stamp at on the job site.
This experience led me to carry out several ventures. One of my first ventures was helping in food bank where I helped to pack food and transport it to several organizations and people in need. was hard to balance my school work with volunteering since I had to go in the evenings, but I developed the grit and passion to work hard! I started feeling a sense of accomplishment and gained responsibility.
My first memory is when I got to fly down to Atlanta, Georgia for the National 4-H Congress during Thanksgiving break. This was my first national 4-H event that I went to and it was really different from the regional and state events that I have attended. I got to meet so many people from all across the country and even Puerto Rico! It
Life experiences, thus far, have taught me the importance of adaptability, patience, perseverance, and understanding. I was raised in a culture which is very different from the mainstream norms and was financially unstable for the first half of my life. By fully integrating myself within the diverse nature of the United States, I was able to ordinary member of society.
Winter break was around the corner, and I had made each child a small plaque with their name on it. As all of the children gathered around to collect their plaques, one student said “I'm going to keep this forever.” That's when I realized, moments like that is why I do this. When I finished my degree at Cortland, I became a family life specialist at The Children's Home of Wyoming Conference. In this position, I taught, and provided care for underprivileged children, who had nowhere else to go. While there, I started a craft club, took children to the library, taught them life lessons, and took care of their general well- being. There are many stories to tell from the two years I spent there. Although some memories stick out more than others. I will never forget one of the little ones that I had a special bond with. She was having a very tough day at school one day, and would not settle down for any of the teachers or our staff. Other measures were going to be taken, when I asked if
During the week in Chicago, I grew closer to God, learned how to be a better leader, and learned to put others before myself, which is what helped me become a better person. Serving others that had situations worse than I could imagine was life changing. The idea I could make such a tremendous change in someone’s life while doing activities I enjoyed, opened my eyes to the potentials of serving. After the week ended and I returned home, I wanted to do more for the people around me who were less fortunate. Going into freshman year, I made the decision to volunteer at Urban Vision. I help kids who have newly immigrated to Akron and the United States find items at a holiday shop for their families and themselves. Many of these kids went directly to the necessity aisle, (i.e. toilet paper, laundry detergent, and soaps) to get these items for their families, even though there were plenty of toys for the kids themselves. These kids helped me realize I should be grateful for everything in life, from shelter over my head to the clothes on my
Perhaps the most important experience during my more formative years was my experience with YMCA camping. I was a camper,
Junior year. My junior year I realized things about myself that I hadn’t previously known. Things I’ve never done before and things people thought I couldn’t do. Situations I thought I wouldn’t be in and there I was. Junior year, I did it.
I take pride in my experience at a shelter for the less fortunate because I learned so much about life in just a few hours. I believe if it was not for this experience I would not be the person I am today. This experience molded me into a better person.
Philosophers have fronted different arguments about moral reasoning and behaviors that should be accepted in the society. Scholars such as Kant and Mill had different views on what should constitute moral action. While Mill was of the opinion that morals can be ascertained based on the amount of happiness it brings to the majority in the society Immanuel Kant differed with this argument by asserting that personal actions should be undertaken with an assumption that they can become universal laws (O'Neill, 2013). He, therefore, summarized these arguments in four formulations. This paper shall make a comparison of his first and final formulation stating whether the final formulation is superior to the first law. Additionally, it shall examine Jean Paul’s criticism of the ethics fronted by Kant.
