My Career Story Told 24 years ago, I was unlucky to be involved in a five-car road accident that left seven people injured, I being the most injured. It left me in shock initially since I did not know how much the accident had affected me. I was seated in the back seat when it all happened, and I thought, “Why not get out and give a hand to the others.” With my experience in the medical field from working as a Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Technician, I thought I could lend a helping hand. Summoning all my energy, I tried to get out of the car but I could not move. I felt a sharp pain through my chest and I blacked out, I can barely remember what happened thereafter. What I can recollect from the hours that followed is that the company …show more content…
I began to think that I should give it a shot, and if I failed at least I would know I gave it my best. The course was seven months long and after those seven months I graduated with one of the highest grade point averages ever in the school and made it to the academic wall of excellence. After graduation, the real work of job hunting began. After months of sending out résumés and audition tapes, I was getting nowhere. Just before I gave up, the placement director at the Academy called to let me know a local news station was looking for a news production assistant. Knowing I would not actually get the job, I decided that this interview would be a great learning opportunity. A few ways down the road, one event leading to the next, I found myself living 15 miles away from the campus. I thought to myself, "Why not give it a shot? Even if I fail, I can say that at least I tried." The course took me seven months and I graduated from the school with flying colours setting the highest records the school had ever seen. That 's how I got my name on the school 's wall of excellence. The Job …show more content…
I was greeted cordially by the news director who handed me a form to fill out saying he 'd be back in 20 minutes. I stared at the form and pen, not knowing what to do due to my finger movement which I had lost. I could write using a splint, but the form had small boxes that had to be filled with precision. Luckily for me, my wife had insisted on staying behind waiting for me during the interview just in case I needed anything. I rushed down to where she was parked and she helped me fill out the form quickly. As quickly as I had rushed down, I went back up, in the elevator of course. When I got back, I found the news director waiting for me, wondering where I had disappeared to. I had to lie and say I was in the lavatory. Later on that day, I called the placement director to thank her for looping me in on the opening. I had no hope at all of landing the job
Abram Auguste Law School Personal Statement I was awoken by the screech of tires, and the grisly thud and crunch of metal colliding. I have only experienced a few fender benders, but I woke to a different feeling. The time moved slow and sound amplified as the car flipped and went airborne over the guard rail lobbing thirty feet onto opposing traffic on the highway. As I lie distorted in the rear seat, a combination of blood and gasoline drenched my clothes and leaked down my flesh wounds.
Little did I fathom that this one act would transform my life forever. Rob Watkins opened the door and asked if I would come in for an interview later that week.

Lani: I was helping for someone’s project for COMM 245; I was in the video lab, in the studio. I was on campus and decided to contact everyone I knew who comes to the school. I remember I sent out a snap saying guys I think there is a shooting, be careful and then I started sending out individual texts to people making sure they were okay, like hey are you good? Stay out of an area.
Upon beginning my first class at Walden University, it has been difficult to see myself getting through this 8-week course. Furthering my education has been something I have struggled to accomplish for the last 4 years. I almost decided to give up and continue being just a high school teacher. However, being a senior teacher that motivates my students to go above an beyond to reach their goal has pushed me to work hard and start a new journey. Though it is only the beginning of my journey, I can see graduation.
Alameda County California. I grew up in Oakland, California and went to Franklin Elementary School. When I was in the 5th grade I moved to Hayward California and went to Eldridge Elementary School.

During this time, I noticed the difference in care provided between the doctor and the nurse. The nurse offered a more trusting relationship, emphasized the use of holistic care, and provided empathy, which was much appreciated. Thereafter, I began volunteering at Lowell General Hospital and experienced my own interpersonal relationships with the outpatients. I felt truly satisfied during my time there, as I was able to apply my values and experience the gratitude and warmth that radiated from each patient that I helped. Therefore, I chose to pursue a career in nursing, as it is similarly based on my own beliefs and makes me feel like I make a difference in the lives of every person that

I am sure you have heard the old adage that “You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression”, however, I do have a very strong faith in believing with scripture “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible” (Matt. 19-26). First and foremost, I did want to thank you for the opportunity to interview for the open administrative assistant position. It was a true privilege to have had a small glimpse of the magnitude of Hobby Lobby’s operations. This is certainly a testimony of gifted leadership and diverse employee talent.

Nor did I have one-hundred percent confidence the goals we set as section leaders of the marching band would actually be met. Yet to my surprise, I had the good fortune of accomplishing challenging things in both aspects of my life.
