Personal Narrative: My Work Experiences

Put the gun down! Put the gun down! Pow Pow Pow. The gun shots cracked into the air as loud as thunder. One after another. We live day by day not knowing our end. In the blink of an eye our lives can be changed forever. Its life, yet even in knowing this we never expect tragedy to find us. We never expect it to affect our lives and the people we know and love. I’m going to share with you the day tragedy found my life.

The only thing she drained was every last ounce of love and purpose from my soul. I left the party early while I was still slightly sober and teary eyed. When I arrived home, Shelia was furious, yet she still comforted me with her compassion and sympathy. As life went on, I grew deeper into depression. My addictions became stronger and new habits far worse than before were created. Theft, vandalism, stealing, adultery, drunkenness and many other sins enslaved my life. I was falling into a pit of depression and evil I couldn't escape. I was on the urge to suicide. Shelia was concerned and rationally decided to enroll an a rehab program. The program she chose was called Stable. A few days later my enrollment began. It was very different than I had imagined There were many different types of people. Some were scrawny with little hope. others were built and possessed with anger. And then their was my category, the lonely, deserted, and depressed group. After looking around in amazement at how incredibly secure, and authoritarian this facility was, a lady named Connie greeted me. She spoke softly and quickly to figure out which category to assign me to. I slowly approached the people of my category, and as usual, I was

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.

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

1) Tell me about a time when you did repetitive work that required a high degree of accuracy.

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.

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

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

When I was 10 years old, I had the fortune of having my mom work in Charlotte. During the summer breaks between school, I would head to work with her and experience what it was like to work in the corporate environment. Honestly, I was amazed by the professionalism and the setting that it was in. So, at the age of 11, I wrote myself a note to myself proclaiming that I will work to someday work in the corporate environment.

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.

I was set to attend a public school as an out-of-state student, almost solely because they agreed to give me their largest scholarship. The state had other plans—I learned that scholarship funding would be one of the first things cut to fix their budget crisis. I wouldn’t be able to cover the $20,000 difference, so I decided to stay home for a while. I had three goals; I wanted to build my work ethic, exorcise my demons and articulate my ideology. To build my work ethic, I applied for a job in the incredibly grueling and unrewarding fast food industry. The exorcism dealt with my worst habits, namely, not sticking with things, procrastination and not taking things seriously. It was pertinent to fix them, obviously. Articulating my ideology has

The next two days were a blur. I didn’t eat or drink or live. When there was a pounding at the door, I jumped three feet, hoping it was her coming to

In the beginning I was really nervous and scared, learning how to operate the computer was a difficult task that I didn’t catch onto for a couple of months.

She asked the adult if I acted any different at her house and the woman told the truth. With one last attempt, my mom brought me back home and I reverted to the same routine. My mother saw no other option but to leave me with those people because I would eat there. I was myself at that house with those people, so I was glad I would be staying with them forever. They payed so much attention to me that now I am a pampered little puppy, who has too many toys that I don’t play with and infinite pillows and blankets to sleep on.

I was deeply hurt by this unexpected event. However, this event became providence for me, where out of it would be one of the greatest gifts. Because of my landlord’s unusual attachment to me, which quickly bordered on her becoming a stalker, I was helped by the Blue Earth County Human Services, who found temporary housing for me, as they arranged to collect my belongings from where I had been residing. Because of the nature of my assistance, the county required that I take some counseling.
