Personal Narrative: Improving DO Applications

Once when I was going through high school, it was my senior year and people constantly asked me. What profession I was going to do? I always said I do not know what I am going to do. Then a friend came and said that the A&P mechanics were always hiring. Therefore, my friend and I started talking about planes. I had always been interested in planes; I always wanted to be in the air force, I could not join the air force because of my glasses and medical conditions. When my friend found out that W.A.T.C. was teaching A&P mechanics. He influenced me to join W.A.T.C. to get my license to become an A&P mechanic.

“Ah. The championship game,” I said to Grace, one of my best friends, during warm-ups for our biggest lacrosse game yet.

This is with reference to the entry level job listed on your website. As a self motivated worker and being a perfectionist I think i would be a excellent fit for this position.

Personal protective equipment was worn, and safety procedures briefed prior to beginning the experiment. After obtaining, and cleaning a 2-quart plastic container, we transferred heaping scoop of clean, dry bentonite clay for making the sample. We weighed out XX-grams of bentonite using a digital scale (+/- 0.01gm) and a thin plastic weigh trays on a tare-zeroed scale. The of bentonite was added to XX-mL of warm water using the laboratory mixer seen in Fig. 1 to make standard (15-cP) mud. The speed of the mixer was set to create a cone vortex in the middle of the mixing cup, and bentonite added to the mixing cup within 1-minute. We continued to mix the mud for seven additional minutes increasing speed as required to keep the particles in suspension. The sample was then poured into a clean plastic quart size container, sealed and labelled properly. The remaining sample was then stored at room temperature (68 ℉) for 1-week to allow sample to fully hydrate.'

Stockton is my home away from home. Ever since my first undergraduate open house experience I have felt a sense of belonging on this campus. In truth, I chose to enroll at Stockton because of their engaging curriculum and hospitality. However, I stayed at Stockton because of the faculty and staff members treated me like family, not just another nameless student. During my freshman year, I took a theater class as an elective, and that decision changed my life. Mrs. Hendrick encouraged me to embrace my culture and uniqueness; she made me look forward coming and staying at Stockton every day. Every year I witnessed Stockton’s benevolence to students, veterans, and the community. When Stockton changed its status to a university, I felt inspired to also be like an osprey and soar to new heights. Over the past five years, Stockton has not only nurtured me with knowledge, but challenged me to be a productive individual.

Time budgeting is an important life skill that I see many adults using all the time. When I think about planning and scheduling, I can't help but think of Mr. Hale. He has his whole Google Calendar full and I'm stuck standing their thinking, "How did he do all this stuff?" Besides Mr. Hale, I see my parents managing their time and sticking to a schedule. This allows them to work more productively. So, I hope in the future I will be prepared and planning at that level.

What a day it was, it was an overcast type of day. Camden Ohio was the setting of this historical day. Both teams knew it was going to an all-out dog fight. A little bit of history between the Walsh Cavaliers and the Alderson Broaddus Battlers. The past two years the games ended with a one point spread. With us Battlers always coming up short. The first year we lost in overtime and we had chances to win but we could never finish. So with that first lost began our out of state rivalry. The second year I played a key part during that game. During my second year of playing lacrosse, I earned the starting faceoff spot. During mid-season, our first chance of a win came again, as we hosted the Cavaliers from Walsh University.

In 2011, I became divorced which was a substantial loss of income for me causing economic hardship for me to support my two kids. At the time of my divorce Malik was 16 years of age in the 11th grade, and my daughter Cyera 10 years of age in the 5th grade. Due to the divorce my daughter developed an anti-social behavior, and had to attend a child psychologist twice a week which was about $150 for each session for a year. My main focus was getting my daughter well, so she can cope within the classroom setting. Working for the City of Marietta my annual income was about $36,000. In 2011 I moved my kids to a townhome in 2012 the owner of the townhome foreclosed; in 2012 I moved again; 2013 I moved for the third time which put pressure on Malik and my daughter. Coming out of high school Malik didn’t have a whole lot of options, he heard of West Georgia Tech College from others hoping to try and earn a scholarship with their football program. He was not recruited by any JCs at all, he was looking forward to earning a scholarship with the new upcoming football program at West Ga Tech.

Last year, in my summer vacation I used to work in a candy factory. It is very big candy factory. I used to work with Canadian and Portuguese people. I was enjoying my work because there people were very nice and helpful. The thing was they had provided me 12 hours shift. It was such a long shift. There I had to carry heavy candy trays and arrange in an order. Also, in packaging line, I had to package all the boxes very quickly and fill the candies in boxes. It was very hard work. In my 12 hours sift, I used to stand for minimum 11 hours excluding break time. In my vacation time, I used to work every day over there. I was getting very tired. I was feeling pain in my back and sometimes in my heel also. That time I was

The walk up to the evil building was nerve racking, knowing there was no way out of it this time. Even if I were to try to back out the next try would be worse. As the structure became clearer, it dawned on me that there was no turning back after that point. As I came closer it felt like I was an outlaw walking to the chopping block. There were other before me, but my time eventually came. As the sick men who get paid to do this horrible thing strapped me in, they stated some guide lines that nobody ever listens to. Then just like that we were off, the machine started up the railing my gut wrenched as if I was headed to my doom. We started to turn, and then it came in sight, my heart stopped. We roared down the tracks and around towards an

My team spend one day per week work on our project at the client's workplace, and we have maintained high professional standards to contribute to the Techlauncher public image. I also had attended the Techlauncher showcase, and tried my best to network as much as I can.

Where I come from, I am not proud sometimes. I grew up in a mixed Asian/american family. I came from a religious family background on both sides. I have experienced daily things that happen in my community. For me, all this has shaped how I am now through a lot of conditioning and influence.

We have all experienced transformation in our lives, and this transformation is solely up to us as to whether we want to preserve and embrace that trait, or move forward towards a greater goal in life. Just like Berry (2000) detailed, I can proudly say that I have lived through the “dangers, toils, and snares” that life has thrown in my direction (p. 467). Each proposed aspiration and objective has been altered in some form or another, and fortunately for me, I have left God in charge with my future outlook on my life. As we journey through this experience in my life, we will be exploring the elements of surprise which include the unpleasant and virtuous portions, and also a glance at how these transformative elements have molded who I am

White ballroom dresses, suits and ties, extravagant ballroom dancing and tiny delicate plates of food. Blue and white balloons, glistening table cloths and intriguing live music varying from folk dancing to classical. A “fairy godmother”, large blow-up pumpkins meant to be carriages and around 50 five year old children including the beaming birthday girl, me. Innocently and gleefully dancing around the room, my glowing smile is unable to leave my face. I am surrounded by family and friends and as I move I am so lighthearted it is like I am floating. I approach my cake that towers way beyond my height, and my father lifts me up so I can blow out the sparkling blue candle.
