The Real World-Personal Narrative

I realized after being able to handle an angry customer positively, I have matured working at Wendy’s. To be able to not step out of character when someone you don’t know is yelling at you because of tomatoes is huge. Having a job helped me practice professional skills. I also had to learn to save money because the same weekend I got my check I spent half of it. My first job made me feel like a complete adult, and although it was stressful, maturing is a step in life I knew I was going to face soon

As soon as I graduated from college I became a pharmacy technician at Walgreens. There I worked for two years. I acquired experience that no other institution can provide nor teach me. I learned not only about my interpersonal workings and more so about who I am when I am outside of my comfort zone. Having that job expanded my communication skills to a point where I can adapt to any environment or group of people and still be who I am. Customers became an importance to my life. I was able to related to them a personal level and a healthcare provider. Many patients had family members came to the pharmacy who had cancer. Having to be able to relate to their situations helped them to get through the hardships and giving them comfort

An essential part of growing up is becoming financially independent from one’s parents. Getting my first paycheck placed me on the track to reaching financial independence. I learned how necessary it is to save money and why it is crucial to keep accurate records of your financial situation. Moreover, working at Giant has taught me other important money skills like how to deposit checks and how to organize pay stubs. My first job has assisted me in my transition into adulthood by teaching me valuable information about

Dr. Rosenberg nodded. “Correct,” he told her, “And Halfrida or Harold was intended to be the key, something that Emily Ryan herself was not fully unaware of.”

On April 1,2015 I was walking home from school like any other day there was a combination of clouds and the blue sky on that day. My stomach began to grumble like an earthquake I clenched my stomach. I thought “I am so hungry right now”.

May 29 only comes once a year, and for me that day is one to look forward to all year. It marks not only my birthday, but also right around the end of school and the beginning of summer. This past year, for my 17th birthday, my friends and I thought it would be a great idea to go to the Rascal Flatts concert who were going to be in town on my birthday. They surprised me that morning and picked me up from my house to get breakfast. They had a whole day planned of fun things to do before we went to the concert. We ended up hanging out out all day, going to Kitaro for dinner, and then heading off for the concert.

I started my days at 6:00 and finished at 4:00. I had to be self-motivated to be to work on time every day and to do my job to the best of my abilities. I learned a lot doing this work. Working with adults was very different than working with youth and I enjoyed this. I learned how to do projects together and how to cooperate with my co-workers to find the most efficient way to do a job. This job also allowed me to develop my listening skills as I was given tasks to do. I often took the leadership role in doing the tasks we were given by coordinating who did what.

Sometimes, you receive wisdom from unexpected places and people at unexpected times. If you are lucky, it will remain embedded in your mind the rest of your life. If you are smart, you’ll use it.

“Hatred and sorrow are power; they are yours to control. All you have to do is turn them into strength, and use that strength to move forward…” I feel like everyone goes through a time in their life when they just aren't happy. Unfortunately most of the time the world around us is too busy with their own complicated lives to worry about our lack of high spirits. I lived my life by one rule; if everything is going well, i overlooked something. I was so used to the world being against me, I usually spent more time taking apart every genuinely decent thing that happened in order to find the ugly lies behind every unscratched facet of my life than actually enjoying it.

Was it a normal, ordinary day. Also, it’s my first day at high school and new friends I met. Around I walked, saw a teacher, asked how his day was. Never responded. Maybe I should make sure he could see me, but at least I knew his name, it was Randy. By me, many teachers walked, but they also never responded. It also seemed like Randy had a gas tank with him.

Working in this position created an opportunity to become financially independent while earning to effectively balance both a professional and academic career. Consequently, appropriate time management ensured the department regularly met standards before opening every morning. Furthermore, daily experiences in a high paced environment helped establish a greater sense of priority and quality control, which spread to other aspects of my life. Most importantly, it taught me to be hands on with any engagement and more willing to take an active role to ensure group tasks were completed in a timely fashion. Through participation in managerial duties such as on-site training for new employees and handling of customer concerns I've become more culturally

The activity that has help me grow most throughout my high school career is working for my dad at his oral surgery practice, Albright, Smith, & Peck. I started working there in June of 2015 and worked until August of 2015. Right away I began to learn what life was like outside of my small world. I had always been secluded in my life whether I was at school or at home. I never really got to see what Memphis was like outside of that. I started off just watching to see what happened in the office during week my first week and a half there. Starting the Thursday of my second week, I began to get more involved with the patients and actually get to talk to them. One of my main jobs in first few weeks was to help take the patients who had just woken up from anesthesia

Well the dream first started out with a bit of a background information scene. I, my mother, my sister, and another guy was in the spare room of my house. My mom was s I sewing or seaming a coat that had army camo on it, it was my crush’s coat. My mom and my sister couldn’t understand how to pronounce the name on the breast pocket. I kept telling them how to say it but the just wouldn’t listen. They turned to the only male in the room and asked him, he told them that I was right. I turned to him and thanked him, he nodded his head. In my mother’s closet sorting clothes and I saw two jackets hanging up in, what was to me, a pool of golden light. One was a heavy winter coat that was army camouflage, I automatically recognized it as the coat my

However, taking a year off from school had it up-sides. I got to experience, firsthand, how it felt to live in the real world. I got a job as a sale associate and soon learned the responsibility of working. Every day, I was responsible for waking up early, dressing appropriately, arriving on time, helping customers and working diligently. Working allowed me to reinforce my knowledge of responsibility, improve my communication skills, mature, and grow mentally stronger for when the time

I was laughing and joking with my cousin when I overheard my mom get a call. “Hurry! She’s in the hospital.” That’s all I heard; I blacked out. Next thing I know is that I am filled with so much rage like anger from inside out and is yelling at cars to move out the way. My mom was determined to get there and was hoping everything was going to be ok.
