Recommended: Importance of money essay

I grew up knowing the value of a hard earned dollar. This past summer, I got to experience this personally. I received my first job, at Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park. The process went smoothly; I handed in my application, and an assistant manager said there was a group interview the next day. During the interview with 14 others, I acted professional and myself. At Sky Zone, big personalities are required, and I thought I was a good fit. Days later, the general manager of the Syracuse location called and offered me a job. I was excited and ready to start another chapter of my life. I went through training, learning how to do my job correctly, and Internet exercises to make sure I knew the rules of the park. Later that day, I answered questions

  • Essay About Moving Away From High School

    649 Words  | 2 Pages

    I was hired quickly and kept my first job for a year. During that year, I worked quite often, which had affected my school work. I didn’t make time to study and went to bed late most nights. As much as I wanted to quit, I kept working. I wanted to quit, because I feared I couldn’t keep up with school anymore. It terrified me that I would fall so behind, and never get anywhere in life. I kept faith, and I worked hard to get where I am today. I never gave up. I did not like asking for money at home, because I knew everyone was already struggling. I felt like I needed my job, so that I could make money to pay for things myself. Without work, I wouldn’t have any lunch money for school. My grandparents helped as much as they could. It's not their job though, I felt that it wasn’t fair they had to keep spending their money on me. Working has taught me great skills. I was shy before my first job. I am now more outgoing and social; I love meeting new people. I still work to this very day, and I am working hard in school. With good time management, I’m able to keep up with

    Along with creating steps which will lead me towards my ultimate career goal, the creation of a specific five-year plan for myself was key. In five years I will be in school, hopefully in my final year of my Masters degree; a plan which seems so simple to achieve, however requires an extensive amount of hard work and dedication.

  • Personal Narrative: Field Experience

    1280 Words  | 3 Pages

    As I sat in the boiling hot sun, the heat that had overwhelmed me throughout the day surpassed. I was engulfed by Lu Paul, a native Hawaiian advocate who was telling me the story of how Native Hawaiians loss their rights. “How did my people become a minority in their own land?” he asked me inquisitively. I found myself making many connections with this man’s story and my own. As he answered my questions about inequality in his community, he began to speak of many things that I had witnessed in my life, that I thought only my own culture experienced. “My people need to fight for equal education, language rights, and employment”, he stated firmly. It was in this moment I began to broaden my perspective of inequality and minority rights. This along with the many other field experiences I had during my semester abroad, help shape my desire to attend law school and work both nationally and abroad in civil and human rights.

    When an individual needs a job or a change of scenery in a work environment we look for a different employment and start job hunting. In the Job-hunting survey I scored a low score; my experience with job hunting is very low. I have worked with the same company for nine years and have not had the need to look for another job. Even though sometimes I want to have a job closer to home or more pay I always tend to back out on the change and continue with the job I have. When it comes to change I get nervous and scared and because I’m afraid that I’m not going to succeed in the other location I decide to stay with my current employment and deal with traffic and the pay. This survey helped me realize that even though I have been in my employment

    The day started out great, it was my first day at Disney World and my group had big plans for that day. Our first stop was in Hollywood Studios. This park was the coolest park in my opinion, it had the Rockin’ Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror, and Toy Story. The Tower of Terror was a stomach dropping rollercoaster. It felt like butterflies in your stomach twittering around. For the two minutes I was on the rollercoaster it made me feel like I was in a spaceship blasting off every time we went up in the air. Next after the rollercoaster my whole group got really hungry, so we went to this famous cafe. Kelsie and I shared some chicken nuggets and then we had to get drinks, so she grabbed the drinks and I picked the table. I must have a really bad sense of tables because some how out of all the tables I sat at there were birds sitting up at the ledge, well at the time I didn’t know the birds were there. I sat my tray down and next thing I know I hear a plop right next to my tray. A bird pooped on the table! It was hilarious. Kesie walked out and I told her what happened.
