Dale, Im sure youve heard I quit my job. I couldn't help it when I saw an article that described exact events that happen to me 3 years ago when I was laid off/quit/fired from a headache and physical therapy office. That was also the point where I was in the worse shape and couldn't "deal" with anything because I had to much "Baggage" I felt I was responsible for (uncontrollable circumstances). I knew at that EXACT moment, everything since I left that office that day was laid out in front of me to help me learn to "deal" and get rid of "baggage" and its worked. It just took me a while.. to come around and learn everything comes down to choices, what you want to hang on to and what you have no control over. I have to give credit where …show more content…
I also had to learn how to draw a line and not hold on to nagging or fussing (you know what I mean). They all love me and mean well, but again its a village and One of me, I believe I needed to learn that also. how to "dust the dirt off my shoulder". Along with the closure that Easter brought.. who ever the project manager of all this was needs a raise. But Know I am in the best place I've ever been and yes I quit my job, but I believe a better one is awaiting on me in lexington along with the only person I've ever wanted to "change the tide" for as Johnny Cash would say. I had to come to Atlanta to learn all of this and more. But then again, you might have already known all of this. You are smart and wise with the patience of a saint. I believe I am getting there fast. I'll let you all know when I am back in the Bluegrass! I believe my friends and family already knew ALL of this and I'll wait patiently until the boat arrives. If I need help I know all I have to do is ask and every one of you all would be down here in 5 hours with 3 trucks to get me and I love them for that and realize that now. But I believe I have it under
The job wasn’t what I wanted to be doing but it was able to get my mind off not being in school, not having my own place and again being back in Las Vegas. At the end of 2007, right when started to get comfortable and used to being back in Las Vegas, I was told yet again that I would be moving back to Las Vegas with my family in Palmdale, California. That seemed to be the worst news I heard and the worse decision for myself. Although I would have loved nothing more but to move back to California but Palmdale, I knew that I wouldn’t be happy. Sad to say, I was right, very right! I became lost again, very suicidal and nothing seemed to go right after I moved back to California. My only option was to visit Las Vegas as much as I could. I began to refer as having an affair with Las Vegas, Nevada as I broke away from
I suppose that I will meet someone there to help me, not that I need any help because I have God on my side, but God always has surprises in store, and I might need help after all. I love books, and I love writing them, although no one thinks they are excellent or else I’d be rich! I wonder what I will do when I get to Arkansas, maybe meet new people or maybe write about the people there... I set out tomorrow morning by a train, I will travel by train from here to Ohio, it will be such a long ride, but I'm sure I can keep myself busy with reading and drinks.
I finally quit smoking after 30 years, after my doctor told me that I wouldn’t see my kids graduate if I continued to smoke. Initially, it was torture for me. I would often have headaches and nausea, which resulted in me being irritable all the time. However, after a few months, those symptoms disappeared. I thought that for once, I finally got past my dark history of smoking. However, there were a few symptoms that still lingered. I had a cough that just wouldn’t go away, my lips would turn blue whenever I exercised, and I had excruciating shortness of breath. I thought that these were symptoms of smoking that would eventually go away but they lingered on for months after I quit. Eventually, I saw a doctor and he diagnosed me with COPD, or emphysema.
When I think about my past experiences of when I failed many scenarios come to mind. Us as humans beings are bound to fail at one point in life but its how you learn from them that makes it a fundamental. I came to a realization that all my past failures have played a huge role in my life, all of which have been either a lesson or an eye opener. The most vital scenario is when I failed to make the grade point average (GPA) required by my school to run track my first year entering high school. This event played a major role in my high school life.
A time when I experiences failure is when I made the B team for volleyball. From not making the A team I learn a lot of lessons. I knew that if I wanted to be on the A team then I was going to the have to push myself to improve. I knew that just because I didn’t make the team that I wanted to I shouldn’t give up and quit. I also knew that because I didn’t make the team that I want I couldn’t take it out on other people. I had to show good character and prove that I wasn’t taking it out on anyone else. I also knew that I could set long term and short term goals to reach to become better.
From that experience at therapy, I am still affected today. I’ve learned to open up
This is my story and this is how it all began. I was going to work on a Tuesday and I had heard on the radio that there was a Wall Street stock market crash but I hadn't really cared. about it till then. When I got to work the following morning I had the shock of my life, I saw that I had been fired.
That experience was so taxing until I found myself dreading going to work and counting down the clock to go home. A sense of regret washed over me from the very moment I walked into my office. Needless to say, that my demeanor downgraded from a steadfast team oriented leader to it’s just a job type mindset. Being depressed, nervous, and sick every day due to not wanting to interact with my boss who was also the owner of the company took a toll on me. The leadership style that she developed consisted of being mean, rude, disrespectful, and instilling fear. The economy was unstable at that time, which struck fear in the other managers who wanted to leave, but was too afraid to do so; they became accustom to the treatment and assured me that I would do the same. However, being verbally abused is something that no one should have to become accustom to. Five months later I resigned.
One thing I learned is how to calculate discounts with money. When I go shopping and see something I like on sale, instead of running around searching for a price check I can easily calculate its price in my head. Another thing I have learned is how to write a resume. When applying for a job I need to write a resume; it’s an essential part of my future and career. One last thing I learned was the importance of compromise. When working in a group, and not only that, but anywhere you will find people who don’t always agree or even like you. However, if you learn to compromise you can work with anyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. In the workplace, in the grocery store, even at home, you will constantly find people you don’t agree with, but you cannot always dismiss them but must work with
Failure isn’t always something you have control of or have the ability to predict. Failure seems to happen at the worst of times; however we need to accept it, because you cannot always win. My greatest failure would be tearing my anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), my junior year in a lacrosse game, through no fault of my own in which my body physically failed me, but it truly changed my aspect of life in multiple ways.

I have been working in the Healthcare Industry for upwards of 5 years. Approximately 2 years ago, I started working for HealthSpan - an integrated healthcare facility aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of their employees, families, and communities across Ohio and providing insurance products for group and individuals. As this was my opportunity to finally learn the insurance side of the Healthcare Industry I took a risk. I relinquished my full-time position as a case manager at a community center, a service created to provide community support and advocacy to adults diagnosed with severe mental illnesses for a private contractor
I am from the island of Falalop Woleai which is one the outer islands of Yap State. The culture I was born and raised in has slightly changed over the years but our traditions are strongly practiced and respected. Woleaians today still wears traditional attire of loin cloths or “thus” for men and lava lavas for women.
I have taught myself several things in life, but one of them sticks out more than all the others, and that’s the lessons I have taught myself during my experiences with my first two jobs. These learning experiences I have had have helped me to mature and grow into an adult, and they have changed my life for the better.
Everyone was starting to notice that I had a problem. My wife would ask, 'Are you O.K.?' as I hacked and coughed every morning. My friends would joke about how I would run short of breath just from walking to the car. My wallet was really talking to me! Somehow I managed to lose five or six dollars a day somewhere between home and the convenience store. But the only voice I would heed had to come from within myself. Finally one day it did.
