Personal Narrative: Erin Hills

I interviewed Ashley Porras, a Licensed Vocational Nurse at Sharp Rees Stealy. She gave me background information of how she got into the healthcare system, great advice and what she does on a daily basis. The reason I chose Ashley as the person to interview was because I got the chance to spend the day with her at work and I loved it. I found it interesting what she did and got the opportunity to learn more about her, her occupation and where she see’s herself in the future. Someday, I would be an LVN and gradually get higher in the healthcare field like she is doing now.

     Each part of the facility has it’s own distinct attitude. There’s a golf simulation section where customers can choose between 9 different upscale courses. They even sit in a clubhouse-like section when waiting for their next shot. The entire operation of the golf simulator is so successful it is necessary for the customer to make a tee time 1 to 2 days in advance.

My name is Kaitlyn Hoopingarner, and I am a senior at West High School. Sioux City, Iowa has been my home for my whole life. At West High, I am involved in multiple activities: varsity wrestling cheer, robotics, and theatre. In addition to my school activities, I also paint, crochet, and play video games. I plan to attend Iowa State University to major in Computer Science. My birthday is July 25th, and Christmas is December 25th; so, my birthday is "Christmas in

It wasn’t like any other swim practice, no, not like any other I’d ever gone to. No one usually moved to Minot, North Dakota that was also in swimming, so when Emily Pitcher and her family moved to town and came to practice, it was quite a shock for everyone on the team. She moved from Colorado and she had 2 younger brothers and a younger sister as well. They seemed nice enough but there was something about Emily, who was my age, which seemed a bit off.

I have many important people in my life that support me in everything that I do, but a good friend of mine has always pushed me to do my best in every situation. Morgan Parcher is like an older sister to me. She helps me with anything imaginable, and is the image of what I want to be. I met Morgan through 4-H. It was my very first year in 4-H and it was her last year. My mom was quite vocal and crazy so Morgan took a liking to my mom. All the kids loved my mother. She was the crazy lady of 4-H. She thought of my mom as her own, and while my mom and her became close so did we. Since we met through 4-H, we both showed horses together and she saw a great potential in me. Morgan was an exceptional horsewoman and rider. She competed on the OIHA

Waking up and realizing that today was the day, my body got packed with nerves, still wondering how my mom even got me on the show and why they wanted me. While I was putting on my clothes, I was trying to look professional, but looking back I would have chosen something different. I was wearing some boot cut jeans, a shirt with a purple cross that had a shawl connected to it, some ugly sneakers, and my hair was straightened. It was dark and chilly December morning, and myself and my parents took the 30 minute drive to the TV station. When my parents and I arrived we had to be checked in by security, as they were told to expect my arrival, for the early morning weather segment. I felt that I was going to pee my pants, but I was also excited. My mom was making me more nervous, “You

Stakeholder 2: Hello, I am Michelle Carter, I am a black female, 36 years of age. I was a single mother raising a child in the lower side of Chicago. I had a son, his name was Zack Carter and he was murdered last night by a pig. A white man who was just trigger happy and felt justified by what he had done because he was a police officer. Just a racist man who shot my son because he thought my son was like any other black person probably selling drugs or something. I did make a domestic violence call because we had gotten into a very heated argument and he slapped me and stormed out, but that was my fault, because I had hit him first. We had been arguing about his grades and how they were starting to slip even though he had been a 4.0 student

The past few months our organization has had the privileges of discover, to report and to recommend a strategic plan for the National Cash Register Country Club (NCRCC) Facility. In addressing the boards concern(s) on what to expect once NCRCC converts to a full-service golf facility. The research conducted by our administration determined the overall satisfaction of all members was seventy-two percent with the highest dissatisfaction of nineteen percent among the older membership 55-64. Also, eighty percent of members who joined for golf were very happy accepted the new change of the golf club to a full-service facility. Including, an eighty-three percent satisfaction rating among current and new members when the casual dining facility bar/lounge, and the 37th Hole was added. Although, the ratings of the casual adult dining section, casual family dining, outdoor dining, formal dining, a men’s grill, women’s grill was below standards. Adding a no smoking section for old, new customers, and comparable lunch, dinner prices to balance the competitions between the closest competitors. Once these issues were addressed NCRCC returned to normal. In summary, a fully fifty-nine

As an avid golfer, I have always been frustrated that I need to go to several places to either golf or get the necessary equipment to play. I have to go places such a Dick’s Sporting Goods to get tees, golf balls, cleats, etc. At a course I can get a few of these items but in a limited variety. In my experience each golf course I go has one aspect that is lacking. Either the course is in rough shape, the proshop is tiny, there is no food at course, and much more, My business would

“We focus so much on our differences, and that is creating, I think, a lot of chaos and negativity and bullying in the world. Everyone should focus on what we all have in common -which is- we all want to be happy.” --Ellen DeGeneres-- When I read this the first time it made me think of LABELS. The world force feeds us these labels and we all swallow, digest, and accept them eventually without questioning them. But there’s one problem: they are not you and they are not me. They are just labels. Our organic structure is like the cars that we drive around and function. We are forced to own these cars for the rest of our lives, with no test drive, 0% APR and no money down. Because of labels, in other words bullying, myriad of people around the globe are wretched.

Our rainy start taught us to be creative, think on our feet, and make positives out of negatives. Golf rained out?! No problem! Future entrepreneurs and golf enthusiasts designed their own golf balls, and then created their own indoor mini-golf courses. The campers didn’t see these activities as alternatives to playing outside; they eagerly participated and shared their courses with other campers. It’s sure to be a favorite memory for the 2015 season.

My name Piper Hills and today is my first day as an intern for a modeling business called Nameless. Yep, that the name of the business. When you can't think of a name call it nameless because names are overrated. I got out of bed to get ready for work. I took a 5 minutes shower and made a quick

The rising prices of green fees, club memberships, and a lack of land to build on in their own country have sent the Japanese to countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia to satisfy their golfing needs. It has become more economically feasible for people to golf in these neighboring countries than in their own. Golf courses in these countries also provide caddying services and other amenities that are hard to come by anywhere else in the world. At some courses in Thailand each player has up to 4 different caddies(site). The caddies carry the player’s bag, clean their equipment, provide players with snacks and beverages and even prostitution in some cases. New golf resorts have rapidly developed throughout the region and are now attracting Western tourists and investors to profit from these new resorts. Organizations such as the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) are welcoming these outsiders with open arms and are failing to pay attention to the environmental and social impacts that this new development is bringing about.

The times have changed, looking at airport check in procedures, one can easily self check in using their mobile phones or even self check in at designated stations for self check in. this decreases chances of any criminal activities that could put blame to the airport. if hotels had a similar system in place, the chances of having a credit card cloned become minimal.
