Personal Narrative: A Career In The Workplace

I never this project would have such a big impact on me and my co-wworkers. I also did not realize how one project can bring a community more closer than anyone in the community could imagine.

Hello Andrew! Thank you for your service, Marine! What influenced you to choose Infantryman as your MOS? It’s great that you’re taking steps to improve your skills to be an asset in your business. What type of business do you have?

As I worked there longer I met someone who suddenly assumed we were best buds. He would constantly want to hang out at work, but he was one of those take it too far people. In this job we worked with box cutters and would play around with his like a real knife thinking it was funny. One day I had enough and this guy and he said something that just made me want to knock him out. That little cricket on my shoulder always told me don’t do it man. You need this job more than his face needs your fist and thank goodness I was able to walk away.

I specifically searched for universities in entertainment hubs so that, alongside pursing my production degree, I could be working in the industry. This what I do in Austin currently: I perform with my two bands, rehearse, book shows, contribute to others or my own recording sessions, create bills for shows, and collaborate with other artists in the scene. It's been exciting to take my first audio engineering course with a respected, veteran Austin musician and engineer: Tim Dittmar. It's certainly got me further in the door of understanding and helped realize for certain that engineering and producing is a job I would enjoy. I've been able to apply some of what he has taught me into my mixes, though I'm still learning. Finding a mentor or

As I sit on the toilet at 5:02 P.M. waiting for it to be 5:04 to find my answer. Negative or Positive? I walk into my room with the tests in my hand to show my fiancé, his big blue eyes lights up with excitement. I have taken four digital tests all saying negative. This particular test was different, there was a faint positive result! I didn’t think anything of it, because It wasn’t quite time for my period anyway. Soon enough, I would find out how accurate that last test was.

I sit in the small, confined DJ booth of a hole-the-wall bar. Mike, better known as Cowboy, the ten-gallon hat wearing owner of Afterburners, invites me to come resume my DJ duties since I am on a two-week layoff from my factory job and larger crowds have once again began filing into the bar. I used to DJ on weekends for Cowboy before school and my full-time job became too much and his business began to slow down. I have to admit it feels good to be back in my old element.

I was exactly in your place last year. Don't worry, it will all come together. What I did is I spoke to a lot of the attorneys around me. See what they think the current probelms are in that field. You want to find something that is currently a hot topic and "sexy." Sexy isn't sexual but is interesting and something that people would want to read. It also needs to be a topic you want to spend your life on this year, so make sure you are really interested in it.

There has been a change in life. I quit my job at Countdown. I could not stop thinking about work 24/7. Always wondering if they were going to call, then having a day off and go grocery shopping and they see me and then they call after I leave and get home. It was as if they figure “Oh Karen’s out shopping so she isn’t doing anything she can come in.” I just couldn’t settle into the day or night.

It was a nondescript red, brick building with a ten-foot-high chain-link fence that surrounded the entire property. My first impression of the facility was cold and imposing. The locked entrance had an intercom system located on its right side. The sign above the intercom clearly stated to ring for assistance.

Gerald had leaned forward and rested his elbows on the table as he’d finished his appraisal, and kept his gaze locked on the actress, keen to see if his words, deliberately constructed to appeal to her ego and self awareness had any effect. His lips curled up slightly at the corners, in what could be taken either as a smile, or an expression of curiosity, and he nodded as she shifted on the sofa, and began to speak, his own gaze never leaving her face, and attemptiedto gauge as much as he could from her expression as the words she spoke.

Ever since I was little, I remembered going into the main office to read stories to the secretaries. I loved reading and writing stories for others to enjoy. As I kept writing for school and eventually in the teen section of the local newspaper I realized the duty of a writer- to inform and influence. With this responsibility comes decisiveness and the determination to write in truth. The significance of our diction emulates our character and the society we want to live in.

Eight years ago, I was sitting in front of a computer in tiny cubicle running my fingers across numbers and straining my eyes across stacks of paper checking to make sure every graphic, commercial, and TV rating aired in its rightful spot. While I took being a Log Specialist seriously and did my best to execute what was asked, I was lost internally. I knew that I was meant to do more. That’s when I made the decision to pursue a career in education. I was unsure about being a teacher in the beginning. After I finished getting my Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education at Mercer University, I remembered what it felt like to enter the classroom for the first time. I was scared and nervous, but I was determined to succeed.

Growing up away from home, I imagined myself in various roles. Fixing a career was easy in those days, but as I grew older, I wanted to take responsibilities and ingrain the sense of happiness and satisfaction in a profession. Gradually, I saw myself climbing up the mountain of medical world where the pebbles of uncertainty and discouragement never wore me out. The farther I grew, the more I wanted to achieve. Of course, Genius minds are not born, but working with great mentalities, learning from errors and having a persistent desire to excel can make you one. In my quest to deeply understand it, before scouting for options, I saw myself devoting extra hours in hospital milieu learning the intensity with which the physicians work.

I was starting a new job in one of the best and biggest law firms in the state. I was so proud of myself. I put on my favorite black skirt and a new blouse I brought just to show off my tits. I mean if any more cleavage showed you would see my nipples. I put on a pair of stockings; it was way too hot for pantyhose. Then I pulled my hair up into a ponytail, put on my 3-inch spiked heels and a sweater. I buttoned my sweater to the top as I got out of my car and entered the building.

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.
