Personal Narrative: A Career As A Key Club

It was May 25, 2018 at 7:47 in a steaming hot gymnasium when the name Anthony Joseph Sansalone was getting called from the loud speaker, the sixth to last person to receive their diploma I begun shaking the hands of all the board members and everything that I had known from the last 13 years at the same school was over and a new chapter of my life was stating to begin. A few seconds after receiving my diploma the Class President guided us to changing of our tassels from right to left then commencement was over and I was walking out with my future roommate at BGSU, Vincent Zhang, we looked at each other knowing that our high school career was descending and our college careers were lifting off together. High school was tuff for me due to the fact that I have know what I wanted to do since I was a freshman, I want to become an animator and work for an Academy Award winning company such as

I have been working as a messenger since assignment day for just shy of nine weeks. This job has exceeded my expectations by far. On assignment day, when I drew from the bag of jobs, I was extremely nervous. Disappointment ran through me when I pulled the job of ‘Messenger’ out of the hat. I had expected the job to be bland and boring, just running back and forth. But, since I have been on the job for several weeks now, all of those thoughts have been proven wrong. I love the job of Messenger. You get to run around, meet new people, and get to do things that you otherwise would not be able to do. On assignment day I was hoping that I would not end up with any bad job such as Mold Scraper, Pipeworks Laborer, or Trash Sifter. I think that the position of Messenger rates higher than other jobs like the ones that I just listed, because you get to have fresh air and run around instead of plodding around. I mean what could be better than running outside the whole entire day. Some of the responsibilities that you have to endure while being a Messenger would be that you must be quick to deliver your message. One other very important responsibility is

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.

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

“Soon shall thy arm, UNCONQUER'D STEAM! Afar; Drag the slow barge, or drive the rapid car;

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.

I have always been a studious school-minded person. I went to school at Miles Exploratory Learning Center aka Miles ELC from preschool to 8th grade. I was very hard working receiving all A's and B's throughout my schooling. I then moved to Tucson Magnet High School. I was top 25 out of 600+ kids in my class and got to wear an honors cord and be called up in front of everyone. I graduated high school with a 3.8 GPA something I am very proud of. I worked very hard in high school to make sure I graduated with good grades because I needed all the scholarships I could get to be able to afford college since I am white and middle class and not very many scholarships are offered to middle class families.

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

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.

“Do you know what you want to do when you graduate high school?” My dad asked, “No” I replied, “well it’s about time you start thinking about a career”. I was asked this when I was 13, I had no idea, how am I supposed to know exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life at just 13 years old? How does anyone know exactly what they want to be? This question stumped me for several years, I had absolutely no idea, and it wasn’t until 3 years later that finally got an idea. I discovered it one day while listening to my favorite band, I wanted to make music, I wanted to watch the crowd go ballistic while I sang on stage, I wanted to mean something. It occurred to me that I was already decent singer, I just need practice, and a band, and a

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).

Another new year is upon us and I was working on my ebook that is a reminisce of my 2016 UK radio tour. I was on the road for 4 months with little to no down time at all; you'd be amazed at what can happen in a short period of time. The people I met, other musicians I had the honour to share the stage with and countless rare moments I experienced that will live in my memories forevermore. The ebook will have direct quotes from my journal and details about the moments lived and lessons learned. But while working on it, I was making discoveries of myself and the emotional toll a tour can take on a musician.

I’ve never been the type of person who was able to envision where they were going to be in the future. Quite frankly, it’s one of my biggest weaknesses (man, I really hope no potential employers are reading this). I guess I just always wanted to wait and see where life would eventually lead me. While success is important to me, I never wanted to take a second thought of how exactly I was going to get there. I've always been this way. So when the Leadership Institute started, I honestly wasn't expecting to get much out of it. Some extra money and some job experience. That's it. Thats really all I thought I was getting into.

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.
