I’m a Rockstar VA... I'm a Rockstar VA because I value my time. When I was working for my previous companies I was never late. I make time allowances when going to work around 2-3hrs before my shift to avoid heavy traffic. It's better for me to be early an hour before work because I will be able to relax, talk to my colleages, do my task in advance and prepare my computer since we use multiple systems at work. I'm a Rockstar VA because I have exposures with difficult customers when I was handling Auto Loan Collections with JPMorgan Chase. It's really hard specially if customers are very upset with the situation and thinks that no one can resolve the issue. But because of intense training that we had with proper call handling,
I also was a friendly, likeable guy. People weren't afraid of me or intimidated, and I respected their homes and was responsible enough to clean my work area before I headed out. To this day, there are people who want me to go work for them once my time is up in the Army.
“I am sick - discontented - and out of humor. Poor food - hard lodging - Cold Weather - fatigue - Nasty Cloaths - nasty Cookery - Vomit half my time - smoak’d out of my senses - the Devil’s in’t - I can’t Endure it - Why are we sent her to starve and freeze…” (Waldo, 1777) The American soldiers spending the winter at Valley Forge suffered in the bad conditions. During that winter, the disease “small pox” attacked a large percentage of the soldiers in Valley Forge, causing them to die. As a result, many soldiers left or fled from Valley Forge. Would you have quit? An American soldier at Valley Forge should not have quit. This is because they should fight for their independence,realize that they have a high chance at survival, and both Washington
While I consider drive a strength, there have been times when I’ve had my doubts. Ops tempo, diminishing budgets, disagreeable human resource policies have all forced me to question my drive. Sometimes I’ve felt, “If I continue to serve, it’s just asking to be abused.” Assessing these instances, I was beat down, stressed out, and just plain fed up. Since those times, I’ve realized the question isn’t, “Do I want to stick around to be abused?” The proper question is “How do I achieve a balanced life to where work doesn’t feel like abuse?” I struggle with maintaining a balanced lifestyle, too often allowing work to overshadow all
It was the year 1777. The Revolutionary War is breaking out and George Washington and his army are making camp at Valley Forge during a dreadful winter. It was the week before Christmas when Valley Forge was established. 18 miles northwest of Philadelphia,at valley Forge, George Washington was at valley Forge to watch the British. The total troops at Valley Forge was in December 1777 was 12,000. Then in February 1778 there was 8,000. So my question is: Had you been a soldier at Valley Forge, would you have quit? I have decided to not re-enlist for three reasons which are 12 men living in one hut, not wanting to get smallpox and dysentery, and I do not want to die.
valley Forge was named for an iron forge on Valley Creek in Whitemarsh, Pennsylvania. It was not the best place to set up winter camp for the Continental Army, as it was unable to defend southern Pennsylvania at the time. This location also left the vulnerable under-supplied army in striking distance of the British, who were well provisioned and secured in Philadelphia. The area was close enough to the British to keep their raiding and foraging parties out of the interior of Pennsylvania,
There is nothing more rewarding than a superfluous effort to achieve something. The work and effort itself is not the enjoyable part per say, but it's the outcome that exceeds the expectations. A familiar example would be doing an extra credit assignment along with the other assigned work. There are many opportunities in life that you could spurn, take, or surpass.
Would you have quit at Valley Forge? Residing in Valley Forge are 12,000 of approximately 25,000 men of the Continental Army. Led by the phenomenal general George Washington, many brave lives are volunteers to fight for independence. Although the Washington’s army was very hopeful, it was having difficulties parting from Britain. Lacking a settlement for the winter of 1777, half the army retreated to Valley Forge. As they were undergoing horrific times, Britain quartered pleasantly in Philadelphia just 18 miles Northwest. Conditions are horrible for Valley Forge, lacking necessities and military aid. Although the French provided money and troops soon after, it was not nearly enough for the camp. The odds aren’t even at all and a troop’s will
The air is filled with the smell of burning bodies. It is the winter of 1777, and my condition is getting worse as the days pass. Most of the soldiers here don’t rest that much so everyday they look weary. The winter at Valley Forge started on December 19, 1777 in Pennsylvania. The question I ask myself everyday is if I have served my 9 months should I reenlist or leave? I have decided to not re-enlist for three reasons which are smallpox and diseases, bad weather and starvation, and poor medication and treatment. I know that if I don’t re-enlist it could make a huge impact on the soldiers.
I find myself one of George Washington’s soldiers fighting for the rebels at Valley Forge. Valley Forge is a hard place to live and especially fight, but something’s make more of an impact than other things here. One is that our hearts are constantly filled with smoke and our eyes are constantly affected by this. Another is a sickness, we have thousands of men sick here and many have already died. And one of the main things is that we are running very low on meat and quality food and we are eating low protein food. But despite those things I still have a hard decision to make soon I will have to decide to reenlist or not and go home to my family. I believe that I will reenlist for three reasons which are I need to provide for my family and

Ever since July 4th, 1776, the vision of the United States has been to constantly improve the government and society in any way possible. Many historical things have happened since that date; slavery was abolished, civil and women’s rights have been signed into law, and just this summer, marriage equality has been made federal law. Despite the efforts to make the United States of America the land of opportunity and equality, people tend to forget about the people who made it possible for the United States to remain the “land of the free”, our U.S. veterans. Our U.S. veterans, over the years, have been treated not like they should have. Veterans have had social security benefits taken from them by the government in secrecy, and bad-mouthed in
