Personal Narrative: My Work Ethic

I have always been in great shape. I have taken a great deal of pride in my body and a great deal of personal satisfaction in my physical fitness level ever since I started working out when I was 12 years old. My dad was the one who had gotten me into fitness, taught me all about lifting weights, running, performing calisthenics, and other tasks to build my body and keep it in the best shape that it could be in. He had set up a weight room in the garage of our house, and we would work out at night when he got home from work. We would lift weights and do other exercises in our underwear before dinner. He figured that was just as good as any workout clothes. Those evenings in the garage

For this project I think Merry and I worked extremely well together, and were very collaborative. We were both a part of every step of the process, from booking equipment, to filming to editing. We tried to be good at communicating with one another as things came up, as well stay in touch about our progress. Overall, I think we worked very well as a team, and I look forward to working with Merry in the future.

I was set to attend a public school as an out-of-state student, almost solely because they agreed to give me their largest scholarship. The state had other plans—I learned that scholarship funding would be one of the first things cut to fix their budget crisis. I wouldn’t be able to cover the $20,000 difference, so I decided to stay home for a while. I had three goals; I wanted to build my work ethic, exorcise my demons and articulate my ideology. To build my work ethic, I applied for a job in the incredibly grueling and unrewarding fast food industry. The exorcism dealt with my worst habits, namely, not sticking with things, procrastination and not taking things seriously. It was pertinent to fix them, obviously. Articulating my ideology has

On Saturday Carly called me while I was working in the parking booth to see if there was anyone to cover her shift because she had a stomach bug and couldn’t keep anything down. I gave her the names and numbers of some people she could try calling to get her shift covered but she wasn’t able to get a hold of anyone. I knew Kristen was trying to get a hold of Angelina to see if she could leave early that day and with Carly not being able to come in I asked if she had heard back from Angelina and if she could stay for the remainder of her shift. This is when she started saying things such as “This is why I hate working Saturdays because everything is a disaster” it seemed almost like a panic attack. I told her if she didn’t want to stay Melissa

One time when I passed my own personal integrity test at the mall. This was about the time I was in middle school. I went to the mall to with my friend and one of her friend that I didn’t know really well. I just went to hang out some with other people from school that were there as well. I bought a shirt and bracelets from Forever21 but, no one else bought. So just walk around looking through store around the mall. My friend seen a set of earrings that matched my bracelets she showed me but I didn’t have enough money to buy them. The other girl said,” you have to buy just take them it’s easy”. I was shocked and everyone was staring at me waiting for me to take them. I couldn’t do it I started about it if I get caught what my Mom was going

I admitted, there are some difficult situations affect humans and their endurance such as working under so much pressure. For example, when you forced to face with several difficulties on the same time and you feel that your life on the outskirts of the end, almost you gone. Summon all your strength to resist moments in recent collapse. You still have a hope, you still have something left to give its not over this is me. One of my advantages, work hard with patience. Thus built my character. What makes me a special person;I married a positive man who helping me and supporting me to complete my higher education.I have children, I mean for them all life.I got my bachelor's degree at the same time that I was working and I was taking care of

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

Walking into that fresh smell of rubber, and metal the weights have to offer. It is very lenient because no one is forcing me to do anything. The person that is making the change is me, and the person pushing is me. I make the next day harder than the day before. I have to so that I make sure that a change is happening, and I am not putting myself through this work for nothing. I want to be able to leave high school 100 times better than I was when I entered. I don't plan on stopping any time soon, or anytime at all. I have not hit my goal yet. However, I have hit many goals along the way consistently keeping a balance. The next goal I hit will be my final goal, and that is to hit 165. I have lost 80 pounds, but none of that matters to me until I get where I want to be. I know I can do it because I have hit all my goals before. All I have to do is continue to push myself which I know how to do because I do it every day. This is the place I am happy. I love going to the gym and just hitting the weights. The pain that I feel when I push myself to work harder than I have ever worked before is good pain. I know this is where I want to be. I know there is nothing better than here because at the gym I sculpt myself. This way I allow myself to be who I want to be. I set a realistic goal and go for it with all of my

I will never regret a single day that I have spent my time working, because for every hour that I spend diligently working towards something, I learn an invaluable lesson that can never be replaced. My strong work ethic was instilled in me from a very young age, when one of my favorite things to do was follow my grandpa around the farm as he did chores. It was not long before I was sacrificing playtime so that I could help him pour feed, plant wheat, and harvest beans. While most little girls were pretending to be princesses, I was stomping through the dirt to check the cows. As a child, when I would tell my mom that I wanted something, her response was always this: “spit in one hand and wish in the other; see which one gets full faster.”

This topic is a really good one for me especially dealing with people at the varies jobs I’ve worked.

As I sit on the toilet at 5:02 P.M. waiting for it to be 5:04 to find my answer. Negative or Positive? I walk into my room with the tests in my hand to show my fiancé, his big blue eyes lights up with excitement. I have taken four digital tests all saying negative. This particular test was different, there was a faint positive result! I didn’t think anything of it, because It wasn’t quite time for my period anyway. Soon enough, I would find out how accurate that last test was.

If it’s easy, it’s not worth it. If it is worth it, it won’t be easy. If you really want something nothing will stand in your way to achieving it. The key to success is hard work and to never give up. If you run into a roadblock do not just give up, find a new way around it.

I think I went through this latest challenge because I likely took on too much work, in such a short period of time. During this time as I was getting more and more stressed out, I isolate myself and stay inside my head. I stopped communicating with my parents about my feelings. This always seems to be one of the first things I do, when I start struggling in a situation; stop talking to my support system. However, after a week of feeling this way and my mom prodding me into opening up to her (because she could tell something was wrong), I finally picked up the phone and called.

As a child, I was never being sporty rather I was an unfit boy like many other of my age. I hated to be unfit- I never got picked for any sports teams. During my teenage years to keep with societies ideal I tried every fitness options I came cross to become fit and smart. While probably due to inspiration from dad and brothers that I became interested in going to a gym. This is how started to have an interest in gym life. At this stage, I was no regular to gym, or wasn’t fit, neither sporty. I didn’t have a figure, but I soon realized that I enjoy the ‘buzz’ which exercising gave me. Now there is no looking back.

I was the youngest of three kids and the only girl. I was spoiled rotten, and very immature due to the fact I was never given any true responsibility. My immaturity has been my greatest weakness. After graduating high school I went on to attend school at Bowie State University. My first semester there I received a 3.0 gpa and till this day I still don't understand how that was even possible being that I hardly went to class. I was partying, drinking, and skipping class frequently. My next semester I literally failed two classes out of the four I was taking and lost my grants, and was put on academic probation. My parents were not aware of my trouble in school they agreed on helping me get an apartment. Once my parents realized I was doing terrible
