Take it from me - getting lost on your first day of work is not fun. It’s even less fun if it’s at your first job ever, like it is for many of the new hires to Dutch Wonderland. Three long summers ago, I was one of those new hires. I was 14. It was the summer before I started high school, and I’d never worked a day in my life. Shaky and unsure, I left behind the comfort of my mom’s minivan and pulled open the ominous glass door into the unknown. The two orientations prior to that day hadn’t prepared me for what I was walking into. It’s about time someone told you what’s really to come working at the “Kingdom for Kids.” Having a good first day starts long before you walk into the building. It’s important to make sure your uniform follows all …show more content…
Tell him you need a locker, and he will give you a slip of paper with a locker number and a combination. Go into the bathroom/locker room and find the locker. Place your things in it and check to make sure you have nothing on you before clicking the lock shut. Then, go out to one of the sign in sheet by the door and fill out the information regarding your shift. After this, sit at one of the tables by the time clocks and wait until they turn to the exact time your shift starts. When it turns, type in your ID number and walk outside and into the …show more content…
Though it can be a bit boring at times, I’ve worked with some really nice people there, and I’ve met some wonderful children. It’s been extremely rewarding to be able to impact someone’s vacation. We’re not saving lives here at Dutch Wonderland, but we’re making our own little difference in the world. The look on a kid’s face when they win a game or get a toy they really wanted is something money can’t buy. If you work there enough though, you’ll have the money to buy a whole lot of other great things! Hope you have a dutchwonderful first
It was a hot, Thursday afternoon. So hot you could burn your hand by touching a window. So hot, you could fry an egg on the sidewalk. Three weeks from now was the best day in 2th grade, field day. Today we were picking relay teams
I felt as if I was able to make a change even though it wasn't a major change. I also loved working with kids of all ages ranging from kindergarten to 8th grade. They all brought a different personality which I enjoyed. Overall, volunteering anywhere helps someone make a change in someones life and their own even though they may not notice it. There are many people who are in need of volunteers all the time and not many people get the opportunity to volunteer during their lifetime.
• When you enter the store, just keep straight past the customer service desk and make a sharp left. Go past all the registers and the DiGorno freezers with all the pizzas in it. Pass all of the beauty products until you come to an isle that has eye care items in it located right in front of the Pharmacy.
I witness a nurse getting on the floor with a patient and taking the time to play with the patient. The patient had the biggest smile on her face. Staff would walk around singing children 's songs, therapist were in rooms with hand puppets and other types of therapeutic activities to stimulate the patient. Family members that were visiting did not just visit their loved ones; they also visit with other patients, families, nurses and therapist. The patients there were happy, most were unable to speak or move due to their medical disabilities. Looking around their rooms, were amazing it was like walking into any little girl’s or boys room all age appropriate. Many community organizations have donated to the “Children Place”, so the children would have a place just like they were at home. Overall, it was one of the friendliest places I have

Initiation Story "A&P", written by John Updike, is based on a moment in the life of a cashier. He was known as Sammy and he referred to his position in the grocery store as a slot checker. Sammy spent his time watching and wondering about customers. One day, while working, three girls dressed in bikinis entered the store and attracted his attention. He describes the three girls movements and watches them as they roam through the store.
Once I graduated, I was lucky enough to get hired by them and eventually became the director of development for all their Christmas content. Basically, the idea for Christmas Parade was developed by my boss at the time, and once Hallmark greenlit it, they needed a writer ASAP. I was lucky enough to get the call. I am forever grateful to my boss for giving me that chance. It has opened a lot of doors for me.
I am grateful for the opportunity to volunteer at the elementary school. It opened my eyes to a few of the problems in our communities. I was able to make others aware of those problems through volunteering and being proactive. I am going to continue with the program for as long as I am able to do so. If only we had millions of these programs across the globe, many other children would be able to benefit and develop the skills to succeed educationally.

The owners say by listening to these people's heart warming stories you'll have the motivation to overcome barriers in your own life. "We've had so many people email us after the event or contact us after the event and tell us how inspirational it was and how life changing it was. It's about connecting with your highest self. And getting yourself to a place where you are making changes and not just living life on autopilot," explaisn co-owner Nichole Eaton. "We just find that people leave and they feel motivated and feel excited and really ready to take on their life," explains co-owner Christy Forsyth.
Walking through the classroom observing at what is available; I see a storage area for the students to put their backpacks and jackets right when they are to walk through the door. There is the first aid backpack, evacuation procedures, scheduled drills date, school calendar and important dates at the front by the door which is also their emergency exit. Mrs. Smith pointed me to the direction of where there will be information about the program and the pr...

Waking up to a new day. As I rise from my bed I look off into the distance of my bedroom. The bedroom of my house, my very own property. I sit up from my bed, and start contemplating whether or not this is all a dream. But no, this is reality. My reality. I thank you lord for another day it is still very surreal where I am in my life now. 30 years old, living in a 3 story house with two beautiful girls, twins as a matter of fact. A gorgeous view of the world around us, looking out the windows of this gigantic house you can see nothing but beauty. Life at its finest and purity. I always keep a bible and a cross by my bedside and never forget where I came from. The real me, is me. That will never change. Nor will it ever impact me as a father to my beloved children.
It was finally the first day of school; I was excited yet nervous. I hoped I would be able to make new friends. The first time I saw the schools name I thought it was the strangest name I’ve ever heard or read, therefore I found it hard to pronounce it in the beginning. The schools’ floors had painted black paw prints, which stood out on the white tiled floor. Once you walk through the doors the office is to the right. The office seemed a bit cramped, since it had so many rooms in such a small area. In the office I meet with a really nice, sweet secretary who helped me register into the school, giving me a small tour of the school, also helping me find
The light from the sun reflects off the pure white wall, illuminating the room. The dust floats, undisturbed by the empty house. This is what I see as I launch myself out the door, into the hot summer air, into the sounds of playing children.
