First off I am Stephen Hunter Poindexter and I am a machine tool student at central Virginia community college. When I am not at school at CVCC I am a full time machinist at S&S machine technologies in Madison Heights Virginia. Some of my values concerning life in general are hard work, honesty, and respect for others. These values play a roll in making me a better student as well as a better employee for my company. I have had many achievements in my life, notably, I graduated liberty high school class of 2012.

A CNC machinist’s average salary is $20.25 per hour for a certified, trained employee. Machinists need characteristics such as attention to detail and math skills. Personally I feel I will fit into this job perfectly for multiple reasons. First, I have already been in a machine shop environment for over a year and have gotten used to day-to-day activities that I would be performing. Also I have a fairly good mindset as far as how to create something using such machines as found in a shop environment. Another good point would be my ability to work with others to complete tasks. A machinist must be able to communicate with other members of the operation such as other machinist, the engineer, or the shop foreman. In my experience job shops such as the one I currently work have much room to grow in your career. I started over a year ago and have had multiple promotions due to my hard work and dedication. Even higher than my position is multiple places to reach such as supervisor and shop foreman. According to the Bauru of labor statistics the occupation of machine tool is projected to rise as stated “Employment of machinists and …show more content…
Due to me already being in the field of machining the career wouldn’t much change my lifestyle other than getting the education I need to advance up the ladder. In most cases only a high school diploma or equivalent is required to get a job in machine tool however in order to advance further than on the job training can more education is necessary. The Bauru of labor statistics states “Machinists train in apprenticeship programs, vocational schools, community and technical colleges, or on the job. Tool and die makers receive several years of technical instruction and on-the-job training. A high school diploma is necessary.” However it is important that you have a basic feel for what you want to do in the field. Due to the advancements in machines recently production of the CNC style machine has taken a lead over conventional hand operated ones. Author James Siemen stated that a CNC machine is “is a machining process in which a computer controls the movements of a lathe or milling machine” meaning that due to the computer controlling the movement of the tool operations can be completed with less human error involved and therefore more effectively. Machinist Tom Janicke supports this thery by saying “I frequently fabricate one or more parts in equal or less time than can be produced on a manual machine and have done so for 25
“If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.” (Maya Angelou) To me success is not measured solely by your financial wealth and career achievements, but by genuinely helping others reach their fullest potential in life. Uplifting young women and encouraging them to follow their dreams is something I strive for day to day. A woman of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated displays leadership, commitment, high scholastic and ethical standards, which are all qualities that I possess.
...lties that Charter presented to them. In Charter, I had to continuously work hard in order to catch up with the other students. I had to teach myself how to write essays, how to do algebra, basic geography and more. In the end it was all worth it. My ethnicity, my experiences, and my parents’ sacrifices have taught me to strive on and never give up. Even if it’s difficult, I refuse to give up without a fight. Through the lessons I learned and the challenges I faced, I realize that my goal in life isn’t just to succeed, but to serve others as well. I do not view success as having a higher grade, or a better job, but what I do to help others along the way. With this motto, I desire to live a life where I can be proud to say that I did something to leave an impact in other people’s lives, and that I helped others get through their struggles just as I got through mine.

In the healthcare field all these core values are at the fore front of our careers and are used every day with every patient and their families.

My extracurricular and academic activities have helped mold me into a person with character and good qualities. These qualities--respect, humility, kindness, ambition, appreciation for diversity and collaboration, and courage--have not come without valuable failures and lessons. I can continue to develop these qualities and build upon these lessons as I go forward with my university goals and the desire I have to enter the healthcare profession as a nurse. I am able to look beyond the exciting, glamorous parts of both and see that there will be lots of hard work and difficulty. I am ready to face those challenges and do my best and give my all.

As a senior, I have the most challenging

I feel that all successful people must make a major positive contribution to the world in some way during their lifetimes. Not everyone can do this, however, and it seems that your view on life has a major effect on your ability to do so.
