Work Experience Essay
It all began when my tutor informed us that we have to find our work
placements for the two weeks of work experience.When we were first
told about work experience I thought to my self 'great no school for
two weeks.' I was looking forward to looking around places and trying
to figure out what and where I wanted to do my work experience. I
personally enjoy things associated with Sports and helping people so I
wanted to do something along these lines. I started looking around
areas of work I could look into, and then phoned up some of these
places to see if they did work experience in advance. I found that
many of the places I wanted to do work experience at did have
vacancies during the June/July time. I was glad when I found this out,
as I would be doing something, I enjoyed for two weeks, and not
something I was told to do because I had to.
I spoke to the head of work experience at various places and they said
I would be able to do it there and all I needed to do was get the
forms to them so they could fill them in and my placement would be
sorted. The first placement I found was at Lords' Cricket Ground and
as I love cricket I was well up for doing work experience there. I had
called them on many occasions and they kept saying they would get back
to me and would let me know if I was able to do it there. It was now
February and they had not yet got back to me; I decided to ring again
and by this time, the placement had been taken. I was a bit annoyed as
they had offered me the placement and then given it to someone else
without considering the consequences.
It was now the February half term and I knew I...

...l of medicine and I felt so bad knowing that I
have a healthy life whereas for these people it must have been like
living in hell as they were always taking these different medicines. I
spoke too many of the elderly people who visited, they said that they
spent more time taking there medicine than living their life as it was
always on their mind, and that at a certain times they would have to
take their medicine. This made me wonder; maybe the way we live our
lives at a young age reflects our future health? It made me more
conscious of things I do today in everyday life such as what I eat and
daily exercise.
Overall work experience was a great and enjoyable experience and I
would love to take part in it again as it helps you think about what
you want to do in your life and how hard it can be at certain times.

For the longest time I could not decide on a major and a career to study throughout college. When I came to Georgia Southern University I discovered that they had a major that was very interesting to me. Sport Management id the ideal major for my interest and me.

My education experiences are very uniquely different from the majority of college students. I was homeschooled for my entire life until I entered college. The only teacher I ever had was my mother and the only classroom I ever sat in was my kitchen table. Being homeschooled awarded me many distinctive opportunities that other students weren’t entitled to. It also meant that I was shielded from the parts of the education system that my mother didn’t agree with or support. For instance, I didn’t take graded tests and didn’t received grades on the essays I wrote. Instead when I took a test, I would help to check over it to understand any mistakes that were made. Similarly, the essays I wrote would be discussed and then often re-written as examples
Good personal care is a part of positive working practice as if a client personal care is not cared for in the right manner then the client will have poor health and well-being, and may be disrespected. It is important for a client to have good personal care as this will prevent them from health issues such as fungus infections e.g. athlete foot, toe nail fungus infections etc. Positive working practice with personal care includes aspects such as appropriate touch which includes being clear to the client about why they are using touch, also they have to take into consideration gender and cultural factors when using touch.

In society, most people will work for many different reasons. Some will work based on the needs of money to survive, some require money to feed their love ones, and some just need money for their own leisure. In life, most people work just to stay busy, and even work until it’s time for them to retire. When applying for a job, the employer will ask for a résumé or a job application. When the information is given, it contains a work history which is a detailed report of all the jobs that a person has held, including company name, job title, and dates of employment. Companies typically required that applicants must provide their work history when applying for a job. A person’s work history is used by prospective employers to verify the information that a person has provided and to be contacted by pervious employers for background checks.

A manager can be defined as someone whose role in an organisation involves planning, organising, coordinating, commanding and controlling. Management is the act of carrying out the five roles stated above and has been there since the world was formed. From the biblical point of view when God formed the earth he put man in charge of the earth and everything in it. Today managers are seen everywhere i.e., at home where the father is manager of family security and mother manager of family nourishment and in the community where there are business organisations
