Personal Narrative: A Career In Making Santa Clauses

Lorman Lumber is a publicly traded company with widely held shares. Its Yamica location in rural Oregon is one of the company’s largest. The purpose of the plant is to process and treat wood, which it does through a number of facilities. The Sawmill began producing lumber products in 1947, which it does by peeling, milling, and chipping raw wood. Lorman has a known record of producing good profits, and will often pay out generous performance-based bonuses to executives. Although the Yamica plant is somewhat outdated, it is still considered to be efficient and profitable. Starting in 1968, the company began using new methods to condition and pressure-treat wood products through the

Each of these play an important role in my education, give me responsibility, and lifelong skills. Doing all of my school work and my dual credit college classes require quite a bit of studying. When I am not busy with school and homework, I work at Frank’s Food Mart just about every other weekend. This can be sometimes hard to do because of the problem of having a lot of homework. Work is a great place that I get to help customers out with carrying their groceries out. Also, I learn many skills and responsibilities. Some of the skills that I learn, are stocking shelves, counting money and communication skills. I like to work with many people. Working at Frank’s Food Mart has been great with all of the community people and my co-workers. Some of the responsibilities that not only come with school but also with work is to make sure that I get everything done that is asked of me and more. Also, making sure that I show up to school and

My job has had an impact on shaping me into the person that I am today because of the new experiences that I have been exposed to. Never would I have expected to walk into the restroom at work and interrupt a homeless woman giving herself a bath using water from the faucet, the acrid hand soap and then drying herself with paper towel after paper towel. Or having to call 911 because a man was caught injecting heroin into himself- not something I would ever think to experience in my life or at 17 years old. Or when a woman buying a gallon of ice cream told me that she is celebrating her 95th birthday by herself, so I sang “Happy Birthday” to her. Which led her to start crying-and myself a little- and then asked to give me a

I learn and apply skills. I work with a sense of urgency and handle an array of responsibilities.

Hey Santa it’s your old pal swiper the fox and I know that I’m known for swiping. Hey It was hard to write with paws as hands. Pulse it was hard to find a mailbox in the middle of the woods.

How many people can say that an experience with a job positively changed their character? When I first applied for a position at a Chipotle, I had no idea a fast food restaurant could affect my life in a personal way. Through this work experience, I have learned how to empower a team through elevation, how to have high standards in order to be a top performer, how to lead a team, and how to be a part of a family for the benefit of a community.

In my small circle of teenage theater geeks, it’s universally accepted that you are either into it or you aren’t. The first time you’re on stage is like getting an amazing kind of bug that, instead of getting you sick, fills you up to the brim with enthusiasm for the art and never lets go.

Every day I learned something new. It is a fun environment to work due to having new customers. The important part of the job is the urgency of getting things done which teached me to improve more and more. The most enjoyable part is to be able to help people and have a part in making their dreams come true.

This story is about a little girl named becky and when she was in the second grade she santa missed her house and she thought that he was dead. Every year since than she thought he was dead and every time her friends would bring up memories she would tell them the story about what has happened to her in the past with santa. She is 23 years old and she heard someone knock on her door and it was a man with a white beard and a red cap gave her a stocking with things in it and said “I've been looking for you for 23 years”. Now she stills believes in santa. I think that every child should deserve a christmas even if they believe in santa or not. Believing in santa but once you get older and finding out that he doesn't exist anymore is sometimes

“Are you believing in Santa Claus?” Have you asked this question to someone? Children would say “Yes,” but adults would say “No.” This is because children believe that Santa Claus gives them a lot of gifts on Christmas day, but adults know the gifts are given by their parents. Christmas is the most popular holiday all over the world, and most families get together and spend time on dinner in the United States. Children enjoy everything such as Santa Claus and reindeer as reality, but adults just have fun with an atmosphere of the event through Christmas songs and illuminations. What makes the difference between them? The answer is believing in Santa Claus or not. However, even though adults know the man is not real, all people should believe in Santa Claus. Believing in Santa Claus gives everyone benefits such as developing children’s creativity and more enjoyment of Christmas for adults.

My family passed by Build-a-Bear Workshop, and he sat on the top-left corner of the shelf with a glimmer in his eyes that I grew to love. While my parents walked past the store, I strutted towards the place.

Having a job is a huge responsibility and something you have to learn to manage. One has to keep track of on-calls shifts, proactively plan, calculate travel time, and be ready for any changes. On top of school, extracurricular activities and my volunteer time this can be challenging, but working is something

I have worked quite few jobs in my short time on this earth I have cut fire wood picked crops made pizzas fixed cars even dug post holes in the New Mexico sun for three months. All those Jobs had ttwo things in common, they got me closer to my dream, and taught me something. The last two jobs on the list taught me the most and help me realize what my dream was and how to achieve it. That’s due to the two men I was with when working those jobs the first being Brian Holman and second Gary Pierson.

Motivations can either be intrinsic which means it arose from internal factors or it can be extrinsic which means it arose from external factors. Santa is an extrinsic motivator. Extrinsically motivated behaviors are performed in order to receive something from others. The story behind Santa Claus is that you have to be good in order to get presents, because in the event that you are not, you will get coal in your stocking. It was theorized that behavior was mainly driven by instincts, which is what aided survival.

Shops are bursting with toys, mince pies are on the menu and radios are blasting out Christmas tunes -- so it's time for another festive favourite: lying to children.
