Personal Narrative: Improving My Technical-Computer Skills

Going into college, I would like to peruse many of my goals. I would like to start out getting my general studies in and then build up to become a Registered Nurse. After I accomplish becoming a Registered Nurse I would like to work on becoming a Nurse Practitioner. One reason I am striving to complete these goals is to be able to have a good future and hopefully a good job will come out of this. Neither of my parents went to college and I want to be able to accomplish that for myself.

At the moment, there are only 5 articles available for a 3-star rating, which isn't much. I was wondering, can I apply to any teams at this stage? Are there other ways to find additional work?

Prior to entering class, I thought that I was a competent writer. However, I quickly learned that my writing was conversational and that I had little experience in academic writing. I became aware that much of my poor writing was like an old habit that I found humbling to admit and hard to correct. Passive voice, unneeded words, long sentences, were just a few of the obstacles that resulted in ineffectual writing. However, using peer reviews and an editing checklist I slowly began the journey to better writing. I also found that reading about writing provided supplementary methods to improve my writing. Implementing these new techniques, I slowly began to understand what scholarly writing entailed. As I learned through giving criticism

One of my most memorable moments was when I joined Geek Squad. Geek squad was basically a program for kids who were good with computers so they went from class to class to help teachers work out their technology problems. The club was run my old computer teacher, Ms. Carson, and the club had two sessions, one from October through February and another session from February to June. The session I joined was from February through June. At that time, there was only eight kids and in the other session it was much larger. All we did was connect all the laptops to the school network, yet I still have fond memories on what I did back then.

Stepping on to the scratched up ice, however still gleaming in all the light. I remember shaking of fright and of the cold atmosphere surrounding me. Not knowing what was coming next. Will I fall?, Miss a step? Forget my program? Soon enough my music would start and I would be off. Thinking about my program, hoping I wouldn't mess anything up. It was all a big blur, nothing was clear to me. The audience was filled with parents and skaters from all parts of the COS (Central Ontario Section). The judges seemed to be staring me down, trying not to look at their mean, cold eyes, I stepped on the ice. Everyone staring at me, it made me very uncomfortable, and I felt pretty awkward being there. I tried not to show my fear, however I don't think I did that very well. There was this little girl at her first skating competition, and the first one to go, how will she do?

Since the first day of 8th grade I have dramatically improved my writing skills. I never worked hard on my papers since before 8th and I was never a good writer. Now I have come to a point where I am more productive and creative when I write and I worked harder than I used to.

My ultimate goal for this year’s 10th grade project was to improve my technological literacy. The initial project was to learn how to create an iOS app in Xcode using Swift 4 as the programming language. I created a simplistic “homework app” designed to notify a student about missing and upcoming assignments as well as tests and quizzes. A simulator was created for the app in Xcode and ran it successfully on my computer. Additionally, I wanted the app to include other features i.e., adding classes, having personal reminders, and notifications. Creating additional features and push notifications created errors. One of the problems was not being able to correctly set up push notifications; when I created a code to allow the user to select the time they wanted to receive their notifications, the notification would not

In the Navy, I have been challenged with many decisions over the past seventeen years. Often times I would have to process my thoughts, much faster, than I would have liked. In those times I could of made the wrong choices and let down my supervisors. In the end, the courage to stand on those decisions, only lead me to become the bold woman I am today. I have been fortunate to experience many travels across the globe. In those times I seen over more than twenty six countries, to foreign living, and crossing the deep blue seas. As an Systems Administrator, there was something deeper I had yet to experience. In 2007, I realized my life was just beginning and spiritually it had. Something shifted in everything I put my hands on, and more and

My first short-term SMART goal will be to draft boiler plate contracts for my team and clients by January 1st, 2017. This is specific in that I know who these contracts are for. One will be a contract for people working for me. It will clearly define the split we receive from any clients, as well as clearly articulate a non-compete policy that will protect my business from workers who want to steal clients. The second contract will be for parents who want regular work done for their families. I will benefit from the increased security these contracts provide, and the families will benefit from a discounted price, as well as guaranteed service during busy seasons. This goal is measurable in that it can be 0% complete, with no contracts written, 50% complete with one contract written, or 100% complete with both contracts written. This goal is achievable because two months is a reasonable amount of time to write two contracts. It is relevant because it addresses certain business needs that have been overlooked in the course of me wearing multiple business hats. It is time bound because I have set a short term date, and intend to stick to it.

My desire to join the Cyber Branch stems from a drive to continue to influence the foundation and shaping of the first new branch since the activation of the Special Forces Branch in 1967. The creation of the Cyber Branch and the addition of the 170A, is a historic and monumental event and I would consider it an honor if chosen to transition. Decades from now, young soldiers will walk the halls of the Cyber Center of Excellence and look upon images of those warrant officers that laid the cornerstones of what will then be, the premier branch of the Army. I see myself being among those images, as one of the many cyber leaders that will lay the foundation of an adaptable, technically and tactically elite force.

At my previous job, I worked as a Technical Support Trainer for a large cell phone company in a call center environment. I would train new hire classes how to support the Android operating system for our brand. I also trained our level two advanced technical support team. I provided them with the information, training, and resources needed before they started taking technical support phone calls.

It was one time that i needed money for my first car payment of my life... meaning i just got my first car like a typical 16 year old girl would and yatta yatta you get the freakin point. So i went to walgreens and bought one of those newspapers that have job openings on them, In my head im like "man this is so old school but its the only way i couldnt find any jobs in my area". All i found was jobs that you have to be at least 18 so i was looking and looking and stumbled upon job opening for a place called freddy fazbears pizza. It said that " there looking for a security guard to work the night shift from 12 am to 6am". And that you could be at least 16 years old i was like yes this must be very easy since all you had to do is watch a bunch a kitty animatronics,

I despise people that hinder others from doing what they passionate about. Individuals should be allowed to do what they love and by doing so they will be able to do their best and contribute to society.

“Did I turn off the computer? Of course I did. Seriously, did I?” My face was sweating, but I just wanted to look away from that locked door but it was midnight and she was still awake. Reanalyzing my own thoughts, I was pretty sure that I turned off the computer at precisely ten o’clock after counting to my lucky number seven before leaving.

“Meet Ezra Klein of Vox, the new substitute for Peter Mansbridge.” This is how I began a summer computers program for seniors I spearheaded two years ago near Algonquin Park. I taught safe computer habits, delivered lectures on ethical hacking, and introduced them to online news and recipe websites.
