Personal Narrative: My Work Ethic

While the application was throughouh in most of its different sections, I would like to take the time to write more about me as a person, and my personal work ethic. While it could be assumed that I am a good student from my high honors and my advanced classes, those are all just numbers. Numbers cannot justify someone as a good or a bad student. It is my belief that the personal ethic and strageis to schooling along with drive for success is what sets apart the great students from the good students.

In the first assignment, I assessed my writing with the online tool PaperRater. The score received was below average on almost all fronts, which surprised me. I established a goal to be writing weekly and applying online tools to provide feedback. While I have not completed this goal in a way I expected, my writing style has been enhanced. I put this improvement down to my research and study throughout this unit, as well as entering into a new workplace that requires a higher level of professionalism than my previous workplace.

Many people have left legacies from when they were alive. Some are good, and some are bad. Those people may not agree with what they have left behind, and some may be perfectly okay with theirs. For me, I would like to leave behind a legacy that shows my family that I was a good person. I would want them to know that I had good intentions for my life and that I wanted to do good for myself and others. In this essay, I will explain what I would like my legacy to be like.

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.

The lives I would touch for my legacy would be my family and friends because those are the people that care about me and what I do. That they would help me out with anything I need. My major accomplishment would be a pro soccer player and go to Rutgers College. The other accomplishment in my life would be to get very good grades in school to get a good education.

When I think of the word legacy I think of how I will be remember and what I will leave behind for generations to come. I think of people like Martin Luther King Jr and Gandhi, whose impact changes the lives of many and the world as it was known during that time. I don’t think that my impact will be received on such a big scale like Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, and many other but hopefully I will be able to touch the people who were close to me during my lifetime.

Growing up in a very traditional Asian household, I was pushed every day to achieve any goal I sought out to accomplish. Whether it was playing piano, practicing the viola, or studying for school, my parents were always supportive with any goal I had in mind. One of the main reasons why I am who I am today is because where my parents originated from and their desire to follow the American Dream for not just them but my sister and I.

My Resume doesn’t stray from the classic style of resumes to much at least not the first two portions of the resume. Once we get to the bottom of my resume I split my skills into two columns so I could use as much space as possible to define me as a hard working with plenty of experience in design, writing, and communication specifically.

One of my proudest achievements was when I received acceptance into the Center for Excellence in Youth Education for the hospital placement internship. At first, when I was filling out the application, I was afraid because the application asked questions about my average, my PSAT scores, my volunteer experience, and a personalized essay. I knew that I was outstanding in academically, volunteering, and my essay was great because I talked about my interests and my hopes for the future. Although I qualified for a majority of these supplements, I did not do as good as I would have like to on my PSAT; I thought that this factor exempted me as a candidate until I received an email telling me to come in for a 10 minute interview. On the day of my interview, I was the

Finding a location that I frequently visit was a challenge. However the harder part was being a people watcher which I often don't partake in due to the fact that I have a hard time when catching a glimpse of someone watching me throwing my anxiety into hyperdrive. I don’t have time to visit many locations since all my free time is spent studying or tending to family. I decided I would spend a little extra time on campus at the centre tech location. While there I observed a wide variety of ethic backgrounds as well a wide range of ages. This was a very comforting thing to see considering I am a first time college student at a older age. I think the variety of ethic backgrounds brings a wide variety of culture to our campus. While observing those that passed me heading towards what I would assume was class very few people looked towards my direction. Most were of the younger generation busy with their mobile devices either talking, texting or had headphones on. Those that were around my generation I did manage to get a few smile greetings or the universal head nod that non-verbally could have meant what’s up, hello or in general just an acknowledgment that you’re there. I was grazed by some younger generations that appeared to give an

Today my alarm clock went off at 6:30am letting me know I had around an hour before I needed to get in my BMW and drive to work. What’s my job? I am a Therapist for the company, Mumble and I specialize in clients with severe depression. As I made myself my normal everyday breakfast, two sunny-side up eggs with a piece of whole-grain toast and a cup of orange juice, I got this strange feeling inside of my stomach that something strange was gonna happen at the office today. When I arrived to work everything seemed completely normal for a day at the office. Bobby was at his desk sanitizing it, Nataasha was in her office screaming at whoever brought her coffee in 2 degrees warmer than it’s supposed to be, and Edward was staring at his computer

It was a nondescript red, brick building with a ten-foot-high chain-link fence that surrounded the entire property. My first impression of the facility was cold and imposing. The locked entrance had an intercom system located on its right side. The sign above the intercom clearly stated to ring for assistance.

I've always been told that there is someone else working harder than me, that no matter how hard that I could be working there is someone else out there working twice as hard. I used this saying in sports. I grew up in a family that always has to be the best and always have to win. Losing was not acceptable in our house. My big brother was an amazing athlete and a very good scholar. So the expectations that I had were very big to live up to. I lived up to the athlete one pretty well. Some say that I passed him as an athlete. When it comes to being a scholar he has me beat by a lot. My brother had a 4.0 and I average a “B” in all my classes beside physical education. I think school is very boring and the only reason why I like to go is

I think that this year is going very well so far. I haven’t changed too much socially; I still sit with the same people at lunch and walk with the same people to class. I don’t remember exactly what I originally had as my goals, but I have noticed that I am doing much better academically compared to last year. My report card states that I have all “A’s” and I am maintaining a 4.0 GPA.

Having spent all of my academic life at a Catholic school, I think that Roncalli is the next step to help me grow academically and spiritually.Each day I am reminded of what a blessing Catholic school really is.What I can offer to Roncalli is a strong work ethic and leadership experience. As president of student council I can offer Roncalli my leadership experience, I have always worked well in leadership positions and that is something I think I can continue to offer at Roncalli. I have a strong sense of work ethic and think that is something very important to I have. I believe that if you have a strong sense of work ethic, then you can complete any task that you put your mind
