Personal Narrative: My Simute To Work

I have a petty theft misdemeanor. I was going through a hard time and was trying to get food for my family. I was given a citation and ordered to pay a fine. I am currently in the process of getting my record expunged. I am a honest hard-worker with a strong work ethic. I am a fast learner and very goal oriented. I work well in teams as well as

I played football in high school for all 4 years. My freshmen and sophomore year I wasn't very good. I was a backup and never played. Then came along my junior year, I was still undersized and didn't start but I improved my skill greatly and I started to increase my work ethic. The off-season before my junior year I went hard in the weight room and became strong. I also lost some weight and gained some height. That's hard work in the offseason is what lead to me having a great senior year. My senior year was full of emotion, I felt tired, determined, and at the end of the season I felt sadness with no regret and the love for my brothers. The first thing we had to do to become a great team was build a brotherhood with kids who wanted to try.

My first example of one of my peices of work is my Garage Sale flyer. I choes this as one of my examples because it demonstates my understandings of our unit all about creating flyers,business cards etc… The strongest aspects of this peice of work is the way I have all the information needed in an organized way. It does not look super cluttered. I think i could always work on something with any peice of work i do. With this peice i think i could work on my spelling and puncuation. Some of the skills i use to create this peice were; Change the backround, Bordes and accents, Text and

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

While some people around me flourish in their athletics, others succeed in their schoolwork. Personally, my most outstanding strength stands as my work ethic. When certain activities do not come naturally for me, I work as hard as possible to get better at them. Multiple instances of this have occurred over the past few years. For example, this year I participated in lacrosse for the first time. I usually spent my time playing soccer, but after a concussion that prevented me from playing again, I decided to give something else a a try. Going into a new sport like lacrosse was initially difficult for me. I had no idea how to play, everyone else had far more advanced skills than I did, and my confidence level started to deflate. My mom

Something about me that might surprise in is that I love to take things apart. I’m curious about how things work, what makes them trick. As a child it was my toys or old junk that weren’t working and sometimes I fixed them. The question that comes to mind was “Why wasn’t it working”? What was preventing it from working? Now as an adult the question is “Is it a good design”. What details allow it to work the way it does? How can it be better? What materials is it made of? And could it have being done differently? Because of my curiosity I have a fondness for production. I love putting all the working parts of a project together. Going over the prototype, ensuing that as the components come together it’s a smooth transition, on time and within

Hi there, I hope you’re doing well. As you may have noticed I haven’t been in class lately. You may also have noticed that my work ethic is getting sloppier by the day and that I’m performing poorly in class. This is because I haven’t been in a very good place emotionally lately. In fact I haven’t been, for a long time. But this past month or two, things have become unmanageable for me. I have seeked professional help, unfortunately, things does not seem to be getting better, anytime soon. I know I should’ve let you know about this sooner, but I was scared and embarrassed to admit that I am not in a good place. I also know, that I should be telling you this in person but I don’t know how. So, instead I’m sending this email to you and to all

Most people would describe me as quiet and laid-back. I would agree with this statement. However, what people don’t see is what goes on behind the scenes. As a result, I believe that my work ethic is what goes unnoticed in my life. During the first half of high school, I was very self-conscious of my physical health. I would always finish last and tire out first during gym class, and was generally unhappy about my appearance. Many of my friends, who were in sports, questioned why I wasn’t on any of the sports teams. The embarrassing truth was that I was just too out of shape and unathletic. I let a lot of this go to my head, and I started feeling ashamed of myself; sort of an odd feeling considering fitness was never a priority in my life.

There are many things that sets me apart from other candidates applying to California State University, Long Beach, but one that specifically sets me apart is my work ethic. I have disciplined myself to the point where if my work is not done I am not satisfied with what I have done. Not only have I disciplined myself, but I have been disciplined by my parents to work hard and anything can be achieved if you aren’t afraid to fail and put the effort needed. Without discipline I would not have the grades I have, I would not have the GPA I have, and I would not be able to have the opportunities I have now. I was not the best student at one time, but I wanted to accomplish my goal, which is to be successful. I had to build up my work ethic to be able to achieve this goal.

First I just want to point out the obvious and say that you have an enormous heart. It must be so hard for you meeting these inmates and seeing their potential and most times seeing them revert to their old ways. I think that has to be the most painful part of it all. I know your supervisor once told you “our mission can’t be affected by individual successes or failures.”- Alice Layton. Which is what kept you going. It’s true, but it doesn’t take the sad disappointing feelings away. It’s amazing what you do, but it’s also very hard emotionally. For that I salute you. I love how invested you truly are. That fact that they feel comfortable enough to speak to you about the crimes they have committed is insane. That just goes to show how committed you are to helping them better themselves. In addition to

I never really stop and think about how lucky I really am. Though, maybe once and awhile I do. It took me awhile to realise how much more I have than other people, since when I was young this concept was too much for me to grasp. I get to go to school everyday, live in a good house, and I have enough food to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. I usually take this all for granted too, since I always complain about going to school, and sometimes complain about what I am having for dinner. This problem applies to many other people too, and probably everyone in some shape and form. There are many people that have very little, and a lot of the people who have more take it for granted.

I have learned by doing these questions, that there were some things I need to learn concerning the culture, legal and ethical effects on businesses. I had never even thought about some of the information that was covered through the questions. So, I took on the challenge to try to learn about the information I did not know to see how it implied to my organization. My work ethic has changed since the first week of the course. Leadership went to a whole new level within the last few months because it is not about yourself at all, but being effective, knowledgeable, having integrity, and much more that makes up a true leader.

Not intentionally, but it has been hard coming to work every day after the write-up Laura and Max give. I feel unappreciated, I’m tire, and I’m the only one on 3rd shift that is running around with my head cut off. You could say, I am un-happy here. I’m at that point where I’m ready to put my hands up and walk out. Since you are willing to work with me, let’s try the 8pm to 4:30am?

I have learnt many skills helping me day with work pouring concrete and laboring for block layers. First let me give you a little background. My dad was worked as a bricklayer since he was sixteen. He has done the same type of work for most of his life, and that's where I come in. My first job was in the summer of 2012 My dad asked me if I wanted to go along and help him with a side job he had going. I said sure and we headed out around nine o'clock. Our first job was to replace a concrete pad and stairs for this house that was up for sale. We had to set up forms for the concrete, and pour it. I learned how to oil up forms so the concrete didn't stick.

I will never regret a single day that I have spent my time working, because for every hour that I spend diligently working towards something, I learn an invaluable lesson that can never be replaced. My strong work ethic was instilled in me from a very young age, when one of my favorite things to do was follow my grandpa around the farm as he did chores. It was not long before I was sacrificing playtime so that I could help him pour feed, plant wheat, and harvest beans. While most little girls were pretending to be princesses, I was stomping through the dirt to check the cows. As a child, when I would tell my mom that I wanted something, her response was always this: “spit in one hand and wish in the other; see which one gets full faster.”
