Personal Narrative: What's Your Professional Calling

Throughout high school, I continuously explored a wide variety of courses in an attempt to figure out what career path I may want to pursue. As senior year drew closer, the business field became more enticing. Furthermore, my aspirations were significantly impacted on the evening of September 14, 2016. I woke up that day and left for school as if it were any other day. After school, I drove to the softball field because we had a game and it just so happened to be Senior Night: the last home game. When it came time for my first at bat, I stepped up to the plate and hit a line drive between the first and second basemen, successfully making it to first base. The next player up to bat hit a double; I rounded second and sprinted for third. I clearly remember my coach kneeling on the ground to signal me to slide into third base. For some unknown reason, I hesitated and slid too late. I knew it was a bad slide, but I was focusing on whether or not I was safe. Then reality set in, I was safe, but I was not physically capable of standing up.

You seemed as if you left out of your 4th block Spanish from those rusty gray doors on the side of our school building.

I worked by myself for the most part, and was given tasks by either Tom Kelly or Eric Dykeman. I was given access to everything that Tom would tell me to do, and that includes seeing billing info, and on the bills I would you tell the company how much they owe the Chamber in dues, I also was to see why they left and complaints that they had. With Eric I would be given tasks like making schedules, finding people to contact for meeting, and to organize how the meeting was going to plan out. Almost every day was different, and there was always something to get done or to visit. I traveled with Eric a lot to the town of Braintree where there would be meeting, and I also traveled to see where they are trying to build more infrastructure. I would

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

As a sale professional my professionalism speaks volumes with seven years experience in some of the high scale retail environmental setting. My professionalism consists of experienced implementing specific duties/responsibilities. I started my career young not knowing this would become my pastion my first job was a store in our local mall while I was in high school. From there I fell in love with with every part of retail the customer service, helping customers find there own style, always knowing the newest trends, and meeting new people. I have a personality that could only add to your company dynamics. I'm pretty quick at coming up with solutions and a fantastic team player if there was ever a time that you needed something done in a timely

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.

When I’m working on something creative, I keep my PC or my phone next to my bed. I seem to have the best ideas when I’m so tired I can’t keep my eyes open. I’ll get up and make notes. I commute a lot and driving seems to promote ideas as well.

I was starting a new job in one of the best and biggest law firms in the state. I was so proud of myself. I put on my favorite black skirt and a new blouse I brought just to show off my tits. I mean if any more cleavage showed you would see my nipples. I put on a pair of stockings; it was way too hot for pantyhose. Then I pulled my hair up into a ponytail, put on my 3-inch spiked heels and a sweater. I buttoned my sweater to the top as I got out of my car and entered the building.

I designed the primary application interface and implemented it to the customer’s specifications within the first few weeks. This created a solid foundation from which the applications was fleshed out and completed.

What’s your goal? This was one of the questions a friend asked when I told him I was going to begin seminary in the fall. “To be a pastor” isn’t an answer this guy would let me get away with, I needed to really think about my answer. The Christian missionary Andrew van der Bijl once said, “God does not choose people because of their ability, but because of their availability.” and in My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers wrote, “Whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude.” These quotes point to the fact that God has a designed plan for me and I must be prepared for whenever and qualified for whatever when He calls. This truth provides the basis for

My Lifetime goal are to become a well-rounded engineer and to hopefully create something new that will benefit society while keeping the environment close in mind. I plan to use everything I have used and learned throughout school. I have learned that being persistent is important, because not everything is easy to figure out on a first take. Creating new will contain a great deal of trial and error and persistence will be key to accomplish my goal. A great deal of planning is going to be required to fabricate something completely new, and school will help me be able to plan more efficiently as I plan my schedule in order to have time to study, work on assignments. My classes in school have also help me tackle challenges in different

My passion for helping others has flourished over the years and has affected my community and I in a positive way. Contributing in my community has gave me the opportunity to know individuals in my community. Throughout high school, I have been involved in helping people obtain their basic necessities such as food and clothing. I helped in the Salvation Army by feeding homeless people and being part of food drives. As a low-income individual, I have been helped by my community and I want to give back to my community by helping others. The first time I volunteered to feed homeless individuals, I learned that they are caring people and not heartless individuals like they are portrayed by the media. Homeless individuals are sometimes forgotten

I have learned that I have a passion for serving others. While at BYU I will use this passion to make my experience there the very best that I can in many different ways. Firstly I would use my passion for service to help and engage myself in school sponsored projects as much as possible. My participation in events will allow me to meet good people who share common interests. It will also help me to be happier in my life. Also, my passion for service will benefit those that I come to associate with and most of all those I serve. The unique happiness that I get from helping others will bless my life and help me to excel academically. Third of all I want to serve my fellow classmates and teachers as much as I am able too. I know this help will

I completed my field experience at Oasis and the YMCA. My experiences at both locations taught me a lot about what it is going to be like in my classroom when I start teaching. The students at oasis were Latinos that came from a lower income family and struggled academically. Every Tuesday I tutored the same four kids and I was amazed at how much they taught me in one semester. The students advanced so much while through out the time I spent with them. Many of them found it difficult to do their math homework but after a few weeks of working hard, they improved significantly. These special four students have taught me how to deal with several students at once, especially when they all needed my help at the same time. They also
