Personal Narrative: The Way I 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

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.

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.

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.

I have been working like a machine for the past seven days. I have been getting up at the crack of dawn every morning and getting our oxen ready to go. I try as best I can to help with breakfast so that Mrs. right doesn't have to take care of us that much. After that I wake the children up, we all eat breakfast, and head on our way. When the sun is high in the sky we stop for lunch. Lunch is most likely a sandwich and a small drink of water, then once again, we pack up, and then continue going. A few hours before the sun is about to set, we set up camp. All of the women start making a big dinner, all of the men round up the animals and put them in the circle of wagons, and the children play for a little while. Once that is done we all

Thank you for reading my work - I'm glad you enjoy it and might find it useful.

So, imagine a stocky six foot black man who had a shiny bold head. Alright, now make that same man a veteran and a drill sergeant. Now give that man a raspy voice and an almost permanently

Of all the aspects of my personality, the most distinguishing is my work ethic. This is best exemplified in the ways that I have risen to the top within the groups I have worked with and the projects I have worked on. The most recent example: I am currently working with a student committee at my high school to organize a “Career Day”. Although I came into the group on their second meeting, I am now the de facto leader as I have accepted the most responsibility and been key in communicating with administration to plan and schedule the event. When nobody will take on an assignment or when I feel an assignment is not being completed well enough, I step in, and that is what happened with my involvement on this project. For another example, I went

I feel my style of practice continues to expand from the knowledge I've gained from this, and my other courses as well as from the many hours I have spent at the hospital with my field instructor. In addition, I am definitely more self-confident and informed in my approach when interacting with the patients and staff at the hospital. One downside, is that there is not enough time in the day, because, I have once again fallen behind on some school work, so I'm trying to employ some new time management techniques that will allow me to go to work, spend time at my practicum site and complete my assignments with fidelity. With all that said I thought this course was a very eye-opening experience and I am excited as well as looking forward to actually

As I sit on the toilet at 5:02 P.M. waiting for it to be 5:04 to find my answer. Negative or Positive? I walk into my room with the tests in my hand to show my fiancé, his big blue eyes lights up with excitement. I have taken four digital tests all saying negative. This particular test was different, there was a faint positive result! I didn’t think anything of it, because It wasn’t quite time for my period anyway. Soon enough, I would find out how accurate that last test was.

During my field experience, I have had the opportunity to be part of the CSI club, been on duty for lunch and helped out in SSR buddy! All of these different opportunities have given me moments of joy, uncomfortableness, and a sense of purpose!

About me: I’ve lived in South Florida all of my life, specifically going back and forth between Miami-Dade county and Broward County. My Mom emigrated from Nicaragua and my dad was raised by North Carolinians which makes for very interesting holiday meals-for Christmas we had Vigorón and Sweet Potato Casserole. I can be persistent if I really, really want something; my mom wouldn't allow me to get a dog so I spent a year taking care of a plush toy in the fifth grade. The good news is that she finally allowed me to adopt Bella, my maltese-a disclaimer: I was eleven-named after the Twilight series (if I had gotten her a year later, I might have named her Katniss, which would be sort of awkward for a dog). I’m still deciding what I want to “be”.

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

Darla, you are a woman with huge faith. I debated on whether not to share this, but here it goes. I had huge faith like yours and today I do. But as I was studying Job one day, it all hit. It seemed we had it all financially. But then we lost our home and everything in between. Tribulations came in such a huge way including becoming hungry and homeless. More tribulations came that I should not share here. The more I read into Job the worse it got. No one could believe it. Then came the “Christian” friends who offered advise, just like Job’s friends. I kept trust God for a miracle. I kept seeking Him, then one day I just kind of gave up and said, “God do with me what you want.” It was at that point I think God said, “Finally.” Seemed like everything
