Personal Narrative: My Improvement To Working In Corporate America

When I was working at Target there were two mangers that I was to train and help if they needed it. The conflict was that they come in and changed everything in our stations. Which was uncomfortable due to that I had more experience and was working there longer. Nothing work well within the ream after that point.

I am emailing to tell you that my major change to mangement was completed today! Furthermore, I am curently on the wait list for both MGT 471 and MGT 390. Yesterday when we met, we both discussed that you would only be able to get me into 471 but you would have to talk to the professor about 390.

It has been an honor for me to participate in the event. Those 3 days have definitely been one of the best experiences I've had. It was amazing to be with such rounded scholars. Going into the camp, I was unsure what I wanted to do, but after listening to the different career paths at Goldman, I realized that GIR would be a be a division that I would like to do more research on. The Goldman Employees are some of the nicest people and smartest individuals I have met. I look forward to hopefully obtaining an internship in the summer and be around such great people. Goldman Sachs made me feel like family and it is a company where my career can grow. This summer I will be working for a landscaping company. Towards the end of July I will be traveling

I have a petty theft misdemeanor. I was going through a hard time and was trying to get food for my family. I was given a citation and ordered to pay a fine. I am currently in the process of getting my record expunged. I am a honest hard-worker with a strong work ethic. I am a fast learner and very goal oriented. I work well in teams as well as

I played football in high school for all 4 years. My freshmen and sophomore year I wasn't very good. I was a backup and never played. Then came along my junior year, I was still undersized and didn't start but I improved my skill greatly and I started to increase my work ethic. The off-season before my junior year I went hard in the weight room and became strong. I also lost some weight and gained some height. That's hard work in the offseason is what lead to me having a great senior year. My senior year was full of emotion, I felt tired, determined, and at the end of the season I felt sadness with no regret and the love for my brothers. The first thing we had to do to become a great team was build a brotherhood with kids who wanted to try.

When I was at the very innocent age of three, my parents decided to immigrate to the United States from Bolivia. We moved to Pasadena, TX, in hopes of pursuing the American dream. Growing up, my neighborhood was not the best environment to raise a family, however, this environment shaped me into the person I am today. My parents initially made the decision to move because my father got a job offer that was too good to decline. We were promised a house in a nice neighborhood as well as jobs for both of my parents. When we arrived after a 13-hour flight, all of the promises along with our hopes were shattered. We were taken to lower-income apartments in the middle of a sketchy neighborhood. My father’s promised job was on the night shift as a

Last spring, I was in Hershey Park, going on rides with my friends and having what was supposed to be the best time of my life with the Future Business Leaders of America club. For pictures, I smiled, but there was this nagging guilt inside of me. I tried to quell it. I told myself that I should be happy. I made it to the state level again, and I might make it to the national level again, too. Even so, I could not be sadder.

I was born in the capital of Colombia, Bogota. At the age of six, my family decided we would immigrate to the United States in search of economical stability, a better quality of life and better opportunities of education for my brother and I. My parents were ready to leave their families, jobs, and everything they knew behind. They talked about how wonderful life in the United States would be, and found comfort in the abundance of jobs, good salaries, good schools and opportunities North America would offer our family. I then believed that stepping foot on the US was a guarantee for a wonderful life, the American dream. Unfortunately from the beginning of my journey I realized life is not easy and mature immensely in the ongoing process of achieving the American dream.

It was April 3, 2015. While the wind danced around picking few leaves here and there along with itself, my spirit on the other hand, marked with unease and nervousness stood in stark contrast. It was time to board the airplane for United States of America; it was time to leave India, my birthplace as well as my home for 14 years. With hopes of achieving the American Dream, my family and I would board the airplane, oblivious to the opportunities as well as hardships and sacrifices which would follow. Although the journey might seem as a physical one - of around 15 hours, it was a moral journey of understanding new cultures, new ideas, new struggles.Nevertheless, it was a journey to understand the true beauty of the world.

As an immigrant, life was very difficult financially. With just the clothes on their backs my parents left their home country, Haiti, and came to the US in pursuit of the American Dream. They wanted a better life for my sisters and I, however, we faced many challenges growing up. It was difficult adjusting to a new country, language, and culture. My parents did not speak English nor did they have a formal education, so it was difficult finding a stable job to sustain us. We became dependent on public assistance in order to survive. We lived in a low-income, underserved area and attended low performing schools. Our family income was well below the poverty level but this did not stop me from pursuing my dreams. I was determined to not let my

First I just want to point out the obvious and say that you have an enormous heart. It must be so hard for you meeting these inmates and seeing their potential and most times seeing them revert to their old ways. I think that has to be the most painful part of it all. I know your supervisor once told you “our mission can’t be affected by individual successes or failures.”- Alice Layton. Which is what kept you going. It’s true, but it doesn’t take the sad disappointing feelings away. It’s amazing what you do, but it’s also very hard emotionally. For that I salute you. I love how invested you truly are. That fact that they feel comfortable enough to speak to you about the crimes they have committed is insane. That just goes to show how committed you are to helping them better themselves. In addition to

When we are focusing our visions, on what we can control, taking it by step-by-step, we start to mimic the reality of what we have been visualizing on, form a vision to reality. When I have to do a meet and great event, whether work related or family function, the day before, sometimes even days before I visualize myself being confident and enthusiastic, looking everyone in the eye, smiling, and shaking hands with everyone. Even visualizing other scenarios in case other situations develop that doesn’t go exactly as planned. So whatever happens I will be in control and the event will be a success. Maybe not CEO of a Fortune 500 company success, but it was a success, taken in steps.

My employment history is limited, however, I am learning to be proud of my accomplishments. I think I just found out my problem lack of confidence! The key every good communicator needs. I am working on that, I promise. My first official job I had was at a non-profit organization named City Year. City Year is located in 25 cities throughout the United State, and also in the United Kingdom. I served as a corps member in New York and was coincidentally placed at my old elementary school. During my time there I mentored, tutored, and provided in classroom support to third grade students. I also was my team outreach coordinator for some time and then took on the role of data evaluator. After City Year I was a corps member for Jumpstart For Young

Have you ever had a day that you flipped a switch? A day where you knew things were going to change for the better. That was today. It was 8:58 am I got out of my car lunch pail in one hand and coffee in the other. Looking around I saw 10 other people doing the same exact thing lunch pail in one hand coffee in the other. We all were proceeding into 1301 Office Center drive. I felt like a pawn, working at the hand of others for their benefit. I come from a line of middle-class workers. Where the 9 to 5 is the definition of making it. It is a nice job, I can make a career out of it and be well off. That is not the life I want. That is not the life I am meant to have. I am meant to be the king, not the pawn. I am a lion amongst sheep and sitting in the cubicle is holding me back from what I am fully capable of. So with that said what does it take to be successful outside of the 9 to 5 realm.

I have been trained to become a chemist since the first year of my high school. This is a challenging career, requiring analytical thinking, attention to details, and adaptability. It is also a well-paying and promising career. However, chemistry is not what I have always dreamt of doing the rest of my life. As someone who is concerned about the development of sub-Saharan Africa, I came to a conclusion that what this region needs is not only scientists but also people who know and understand leadership and international affairs. In this paper, I compare my strengths and abilities to the qualities that one should have in order to excel as a chemist and a diplomat.
