Personal Narrative: My First Job

Everyone has their first memory when they have to enter the adult world, mine just happened to be my junior year of high school. This year was just a little glimpse of what was going to be the rest of my life. Getting my first job was bitter sweet. I had to learn how to manage my time between school, sports, and now a job. After my first week of school I had to start my new job.

As teenager, many people say their adolescence is one of the most important phases in anyone’s life. As a teenager, you get to experience many great events like going to high school football games, dating your first boyfriend or girlfriend, getting your driver license, and graduating from high school. As I look back, I believe that getting my first job was the most important event in my adolescence. I was very enthusiastic about getting my first job. I enjoyed that fact that I will be able to earn my own money and not having to ask my mother for any earn. Surprising, there was only one obstacle that was holding me back and that was the fact that I was a

Before I started on the ward I believed that I could handle any situation presented to me as I have a very logical mind and can work my way around problems. What I was not prepared for was the closeness of contact with patients. I knew I would have to deal with this type of situation but I was not prepared for my reaction it felt very out of place for me I have never responded in such a way before or since. I 'm not sure why I acted the way I did I guess it was just lack of confidence and internal pressures to do well.

When I applied for C.R. England I was not sure that I would be accepted to go through the program. Three days later I received a phone call from a Recruiter at C.R. England and while on the phone we went over all the information before setting a time and a date for leaving for Salt Lake City, Utah. When the day came to leave for Salt Lake City, Utah my parents took me to the Greyhound terminal to prepare to leave. Thirty minutes later we boarded the bus to leave our first stop was in Missouri I stayed on the same bus and from there I went to Kansas where I had to switch buses but I had to wait one hour before the other bus got there after boarding the bus for going to the next stop I was in Colorado where I had to wait two hours and thirty minutes before boarding my next bus to Wyoming once I got to Wyoming the next bus was ready and it had no air conditioner that I remember so the last bit of traveling was so warm that everyone on it was hot even a eight month old baby everyone tried their best to help the mother out to make

My first APPE rotation was pediatrics in Cleveland Clinic. Before starting the rotation, I was scared but excited to have experience in Cleveland Clinics, since it is one of the biggest hospitals in the country. I was worried because I had no knowledge about pediatrics. Also, the first day of the rotation was a day after the final, so I was in a rush mode.

life is stupidly hard sometimes, and only made harder when we pass 18 and have to make our own significant choices. It used to be that society and our parents shaped our futures and even pushed us in the direction they wanted us to succeed in, however hard I tried though I always fell short of my parents expectations. I didnt believe people could change and that neither of my parents would change their way of thinking and that I would never be able to change what I was, but people can change and I know that now.They wanted me to go to college and develop myself in a successful career insted I ran from what my parents wanted, got emancipated and married at 16 and then divorced at 21.

The day started out normal, we had our regular closing managers and everything was going smoothly. About half way through my shift I was told that the managers were not scheduled to close with the rest of us, and instead are only scheduled till eight o’clock. I asked who is going to be the manager and to my surprise, they responded with me. They told me that since I was the most experienced that they guessed that I would be the one to take the temporary position of Kitchen Team Lead. I was lucky with who I had been scheduled with as most of my other co-workers were experienced with the closing procedures.

This semester I feel I have grown more as an academic student and as a global citizen. I feel that our Job shadow project helped me be a better Academic student, and that the Malala field trip my school went to helped me become a Global Citizen.These two things have helped me become a better student in their own ways.

Caroline, my sister, is the type of person who loves animals and says she wants to save the world. She thinks her jokes are the best, but she’s the only one that laughs. She is always willing to help someone out if they are stuck. She knows how to put a smile on someone's face. Whenever Caroline answers the phone, even if it wakes her from a nap, she always smiles first and then talks. “Because a smile can change any meaning” she always says. She is a 20 year old junior at “UW-Madison for my undergraduate degree in anthropology with certificates in archaeology and classics” (C. Schlinsog, Personal Interview, May 31, 2017). She is very smart, she is taking summer classes so she can graduate early and go on to graduate school. She has a big future ahead of her.

I worked side by side with Kristina, the office supervisor, and we really accomplished a lot today. She was so behind on her work that she asked me to work with one of the providers one on one. I really think she was evaluating my work ethics. She said I had been an asset to her and later I was called into the office and was offered a job. Of course I was excited and accepted the position as a MA-II in the King and Pilot offices. After I pass the CMA exam I will then transition into the CMA position along with a raise. I cannot wait to get started and learn as much as I

On Tuesday 18th, 2017 I interviewed Elizabeth Surprenant the systems Administrator for B. F. Saul Company & Affiliates (Real State Company). Before I decided to interview her, I first targeted the type of occupation that I want to know more information. Economics my targeted major. Due to my interest in economics, I decided to interview Ms. Surprenant, who has a bachelor degree in Accounting and she doubled major in economics. There were 2 degrees of separation between this Ms. Surprenant and me. I contacted her via email and set up a meeting to discuss some details about her occupation.

I said sure but all I thought was how much I was going to dread my day doing this part. As the day went by I noticed how much I actually enjoyed the work I was doing. I enjoyed it so much that I went home and thought how nice it would be for me to be able to open my own little clinic to help the community. That is when I decided to change careers, and started to study Business Management. I realized that day that I wanted to do more then to work for a company. I wanted to have the knowledge to one day be able to open and manage my own business.

On my first day of job shadowing I was entirely unsure what I was going to experience and was anxious for the day ahead. This first day consisted largely of my mentor going over the basics of her job, which was completely different from what I originally thought it was. She was quick to tell me that while she does work a lot with animals, she communicates with the owners often to discuss how to properly train their dogs, and to explain why she grooms the dogs the way she does. She also demonstrated to me how teach dogs to perform a variety of behaviors as pictured to the right. My mentor also taught me some of the basics of dog grooming. We discussed how to communicate with clients, how to blow dry a dog, and how to brush a dog. In the image to the right she is demonstrating to me how to brush a dog and how different types of brushes work to remove matts. We often discussed how grooming dogs can improve their

Your post made me flash back to my first day at new job. I walked into that office feeling timid yet determined to prove my worth. I was so concerned I’d fail. I didn’t want management second guessing their decision to hire me. Would I be a quick enough study? Would my performance meet their expectations? Would I fit into the office culture? Starting a new job is stressful.

When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait until I was old enough to get a job. Sure, it would be a good way to make friends and learn how to prepare myself for the real world, but for me, it was mostly about making my own money. Having to ask my parents for cash every time I needed some annoyed me, mostly because they’d always say no. Every time they did, I would always whine and complain about how different things would be when I had money of my own, how I would never ask them for anything, and so on. This wasn’t entirely true, but at the time it seemed like a smart thing to say. I must’ve applied to dozens of jobs, and when I finally got the email telling
