Personal Narrative: A Career As A Key Club

I have accomplished lots of things in my lifetime. I have accomplished getting a job and getting my license to go to that job. I have accomplished working two jobs one is being a machinist and a referee.

Although most people would continue post-secondary after high school, I plan on going to college, most likely Langara college, first after graduating. At first, I did want to go straight to UBC or SFU after high school, however, I started thinking of what I wanted to do. Then it occurred to me of how this is going to affect my entire life. From what I heard from others, people sometimes change their decisions based on what they want to do as a career. Not only does this take a lot of time on studying something else after changing their primary focus, but also costs a lot of money. Unfortunately, I know that I won’t have enough money to pay off the financial expenses just to study for the career I want for my future. I need to make sure that

Throughout high school, I continuously explored a wide variety of courses in an attempt to figure out what career path I may want to pursue. As senior year drew closer, the business field became more enticing. Furthermore, my aspirations were significantly impacted on the evening of September 14, 2016. I woke up that day and left for school as if it were any other day. After school, I drove to the softball field because we had a game and it just so happened to be Senior Night: the last home game. When it came time for my first at bat, I stepped up to the plate and hit a line drive between the first and second basemen, successfully making it to first base. The next player up to bat hit a double; I rounded second and sprinted for third. I clearly remember my coach kneeling on the ground to signal me to slide into third base. For some unknown reason, I hesitated and slid too late. I knew it was a bad slide, but I was focusing on whether or not I was safe. Then reality set in, I was safe, but I was not physically capable of standing up.

Ask someone, and chances are, they’ll argue that health comes first. Doctors say it, parents repeat it, media promotes it, but in actuality, not many of those who suggest making health a priority can truly say that they’ve never jeopardized their health, whether that be through something as small as skimping on sleep or as big as stressing themselves out, for their job. While some might not consider it one, maintaining a certain BMI is another health benefit that goes neglected, especially in modeling, a career that carries the stigma of only consisting of starving girls who need to “eat a burger”. Luckily, I never had to worry about my weight mainly because I danced 22 hours a week, something I could maintain in middle school only because I was homeschooled. Once I started high school, however, I found it hard to stick to this rigorous schedule, so it wasn’t long

In 2005 I decided to call it quits. I retired from the military to only find myself back in the same shop I was leading rebuilding TF39 engines as a contractor. I did this for two years until I decided to pick up the family and move to Oklahoma City to work on the B-1 F101-GE engine at Tinker AFB. Soon after, the contract died and I had to find a new job. I got picked up as a civil service employee in the same shop. I then got promoted into the F117 Heavy Maintenance Center rebuilding engines for the C17. This was a new workload and we had to set up the shop. I’m not kidding about this, we had to order, build the tooling and set up the lean cells before we even started production.

Enrolling into college was a huge decision in my life, because of the fact I was a first generation student. As the first to attend college in my family, I was sending a message that I am competent enough to accomplish my goals. The goal that I had my heart set on was to become a nurse. I have already taken a step by enrolling into Mount Carmel College of Nursing. Mount Carmel College of Nursing is a program that allows you to earn your bachelors in nursing. I transferred to Mount Carmel from Columbus State Community College. While in Columbus State, I remember vividly thinking about how the career I choose will impact me lifelong. So it seemed reasonable to be a nurse, and help those in need. In helping my patients, I am also helping my community. Becoming a nurse will help me take care of patients during important moments in their life, and to make sure they receive quality care.

My survey responses revealed that my two career categories are Social and Conventional. I agree with the Social category. I am currently in a Certified Nursing Assistant class and I have been accepted into numerous nursing schools in Indiana. The Social category fits me best because I enjoy working with other people, teaching others about a specific topic, and caring for others. I do not agree with the Conventional category that was assigned to me. I am not one to enjoy strictly math on a daily basis, and I would belittle myself to the fullest extent if I had a career that did not require a degree.

“Ranked sixth, Dorothy Hernandez, Texas A & M University Kingsville, Civil Engineering,” began the description at my high school graduation. I recall my decision upon selecting a school and major, which were all revolved around an anti-teaching attitude. My mother, who comes from a line of teachers in El Salvador, and a school counselor at the time of my graduation, attempted to lure me into the family profession; and as a young reckless teenager would do, I held nothing back when I declined to even consider that possibility. My mom recalls me saying, “Oh no! I don’t want to be a teacher, EVER!” when she helped me consider my career choices.

I left high school as valedictorian of my class 2022. I had all A's in high school and scouts looking at me for soccer and academic achievements. Since Bangor doesn’t have a soccer team for high school I went to play for a rush league. The cost was to much for my mom to pay but the coaches saw how good I play and sponsored me. I was class president as well, it helped a little for college scouts. As a junior I knew what college I wanted to go to. I had toured Stout and was impressed by there programs. Also Stout has a soccer program.

My entire life I have always worked my hardest to get to where I am today. As a child, I had the dream of being a nurse or a detective, and I as I started getting older I became aware that the two job areas are very different and competitive. I believe my determination has been a key quality that has let me enrich my education and move forward with the health and criminal justice fields. I have been able to succeed in classes, as well as my employment opportunities because when I set my mind to something, there is nothing stopping me, and I am 100% determined to finish. Being hard working has also been something I’ve done throughout my life, I was always been told that things don’t just happen and that I have to make things happen. The ability

I cant believe it’s the end of this semester. One last chance to get this grade up. I cant believe one grade could possibly hold me back from all my dreams. Since I was little all I wanted to be was football player. Are star quarterback is graduating this year, and now it’s my time to shine. Everything I worked for hanging in the shadow of this final test.

It was just an after school job, or so I thought. I only wanted some extra spending money for the weekend, but what I received was something money cannot buy. This past fall, I started working at a recreational softball league, coaching kids on how to hit and the simple rules of the game. As well as occasionally umpiring the girls weekend games. Nothing of enormous importance, anyone can load balls onto a tee and learn how to swing a bat. I would show up Monday evenings for two hours and teach roughly fifty kids how to properly hit a ball, and given the fact that I played competitive softball my entire life, it was right up my ally. However, I did not yet realize how much this job would mean to me.

As I look back on my life I can't help but smile. I look back proud of the accomplishments I achieved through out my life. I got married to Declan, the love of my life. He was a great man and we supported each other through everything. I worked hard in my life and achieved my dream job, to be an archaeologist. Being an archaeologist didn't make much money, but I was happy nonetheless. Having this job helped me learn an important lesson; you don't need money to be happy. I started my family with Declan. We tried to be best parents we could and loved them through everything. They grew up to be great people who are honest and hard working. They are all I could ever want. I made mistakes in my life, I've taken shortcuts. I had a torn relationship

As the eyes are the window to the soul your resume is the window to job opportunity. Both should not be neglected (Milano, 2012). In order to be prepared for any opportunity that can present itself to you update you resume as often as posable (Forbs, 2013). For example, if you have any form of promotion, or job accomplishment or accolades should be added to you resume right away (Milano, 2012). Any addition certifications or activities such as community service should also be updated on your resume directly after completion (Milano, 2012).

I have been trained to become a chemist since the first year of my high school. This is a challenging career, requiring analytical thinking, attention to details, and adaptability. It is also a well-paying and promising career. However, chemistry is not what I have always dreamt of doing the rest of my life. As someone who is concerned about the development of sub-Saharan Africa, I came to a conclusion that what this region needs is not only scientists but also people who know and understand leadership and international affairs. In this paper, I compare my strengths and abilities to the qualities that one should have in order to excel as a chemist and a diplomat.
