When You Walk Down The Main Street At Fort Morgan Colorado

My mother worked day and night so I had to care for my sister and cousins. On some occasions I had to help my mom clean houses to earn money. At the age of thirteen up until I was sixteen I was cleaning houses for the people we longed to be. I got a glimpse of a life I have never known. For the most part my mom’s boss was nice, but her family was ignorant at times. They would ask me where I have traveled and if I’ve been to all these kinds of expensive places. When I answered no they asked why not. I guess they didn’t comprehend the fact that my mom and I were cleaning their dishes and making their beds for less than the minimum wage to be able to barely afford the rent of the small room we all

As teenager, many people say their adolescence is one of the most important phases in anyone’s life. As a teenager, you get to experience many great events like going to high school football games, dating your first boyfriend or girlfriend, getting your driver license, and graduating from high school. As I look back, I believe that getting my first job was the most important event in my adolescence. I was very enthusiastic about getting my first job. I enjoyed that fact that I will be able to earn my own money and not having to ask my mother for any earn. Surprising, there was only one obstacle that was holding me back and that was the fact that I was a

Growing up, my childhood was “easy” my family had enough money that we never had to worry about anything. My father was a self-made man who created his own carpentry business at 18 years of age and

So when being asked to discuss an event that marked my transition from childhood to adulthood, this is the story I want to give. Before this had happened I didn’t have a job and wasn’t responsible enough to even think about having a job. But when it did happen it showed me that I had to make that transition in less than a week to get ready for the job I had been dreaming about every time I went into that store with my grandmother as a

Saturday was cleanup day and I helped my grandfather shovel the sawdust off of the meat market floor. After the morning rush of customers, I took the shovel and began my journey. For most kids, this was a lot of hard work, but I loved being my grandfather’s little helper. I would take the giant shovel and slide it across the floor, scooping more sawdust than I could pick up. I would spill half of it back onto the floor. After the old sawdust was picked up, we would put new sawdust down so the floor would be nice and clean. It was time for my favorite part of the day. After we cleaned up everything, my grandfather and I would walk downtown to the Dime Store so I could spend my savings! The Dime Store was like the Dollar General store is to us today. To me it was the biggest toy store in the whole world! My grandfather would say “ok, you can pick two things, that’s it”. He knew he had to set a limit or my arms would be loaded down with items when we reached the cash register. I would have spent my limit and more. My grandfather taught me not to spend all of my money. He would tell me, “save some for a rainy day”. I often wondered what that meant. As I placed my items on the counter, my grandfather said “are you sure that is what you want”? It was the same items every month, a bag of play money and a new receipt book, so I could pretend I was a cashier like the lady that worked at the grocery

There was a saying in China that people will be able to foresee how successful a child can be once he is three years old. People believe the actions a child takes, and words he says are heavily influenced by his parents and the environment around the child. My high school experiences and my family have greatly influenced my life in a way by providing many different opportunities for me to explore and have a clear understanding of myself and which career path I want to pursue in. In high school, I’ve participated in many different clubs involving arts, science, and business. Out of all the clubs I have been part of, DECA was my favorite club. DECA was a great opportunity for me to learn more about business and it also gave me a chance to

When I moved to this city I didn't think that I would be popular or the All-Star Quarterback for my school. We had to move here because of my dad's “business opportunity” that would give our family a lot more money. We were always struggling with money, that’s mostly why mom and dad fought a lot. I was always telling them “let me get a job and I could help”. But they always said “no you are too young and this doesn't concern you.

This is one of the major crisis as to why we don't really have good education systems. Without money in the educational system it is hard for schools to have parties and have special field trips and incentives for students. A lot of the time we do have a lot of money for these things but sometimes the people over the money are not responsible with it and might use it for personal gain or a dumb item that no one really needs. An example of this would be what I described in my first paragraph with Ronnie Sims little incident. There are cases like that everyday and no one really knows it. Most of the time it might be like “If I did it the first time perfectly I could do it again” eventually if you take $100 each day of the year that could add up to thousands of dollars by the end of the year and you will most likely get put into the hot seat. We need to hire secretaries responsible enough to handle the money and avoid people from accessing such accounts involving school money or even the school system money.

Being born and raise in the small isle of Antigua, there are not a lot of job opportunities to unskilled workers. As I grew up, I practiced to excel in my entire subject areas and do my best in all that I chose to do and I ended out on top. At the age of four, although a young kid, I was being molded into what will become the refined me. During that period, it proved no significance to me what happens educationally. At that age, the

Being around my parents, daily at work, has a tendency of me learning something new everyday, about the business world. I learn what to do in difficult situations, which would, of course, help out later, I’m even learning about a lot of the scams out there that I never even knew, nor even thought about. My parents help me out when there’s an aberration while managing their company, and they help me solve the problem, I hope they will continue to help me after I receive my Masters Degree.

From a young age I’ve always seen my dad hustling around between our businesses making sure everything is running and operating smoothly. Growing up helping and watching his has really inspired myself to pursue my higher education in the business field hoping to use the

I have always taken a different path than most of my peers. Sometimes I am told I do things the hard way but the hard way is necessary when the path that’s available isn’t the one you want to take. I am an entrepreneur and I enjoy creating paths. Ever since I was little I always had a project or business I was working on and I was always on the lookout for things people wanted but didn’t have enough of. When I was seven years old, I created and sold subscriptions to the Jackson Times; a family newspaper that portrayed important household events of the week. In the next few years, I created a pen and pencil trading business in school that while successful, netted me by summer over 50 pens, pencils, and erasers that I couldn’t possibly use myself. The surplus taught me to plan all the way to the end right from the beginning. Now as I plan my life, I realize what an enormous impact a formal education can have.

My life and the career goals with very different from that which our parents lived and also the expectations that they possessed at the time this in my view contributed to influencing the class, the culture, and the ethical teachings and the instrumental shaping of the views that I hold, the perceptions and how that have constantly been part of my current life. I realize that over the years I have been living my life in the bubble (Dewaele, 2016).

I was two years old and I stayed home with my mother until I was three. Then, my father opened a grocery store. At that time I had no idea what was happening, I just knew I was traveling somewhere and that was going to be a blast. Afterwards, every day I was going to the same place for thirty-seven years, which is part of my life. I always treated my house as a hotel and the store as my first home. All my schools from Preschool through Highschool were walking distance from the store, including my first job, which was three houses down. Being at the store help me mature, since I was a little girl I facing a variety of customers. Some of the customers were sweet and friendly, yet some of them used profanity just because we did not meet their demand. My knowledge of working society came from the store.

From a young age, my parents taught me to care and serve others. Although they had very little western education, my parents became successful business owners and community leaders largely due to hard work and dedicated service to people. They always told me that I could succeed in anything I choose to do. They understood the value of education and supported me in all my endeavors.
