314 Words2 Pages

During my undergraduate career, I was employed two times while going to school. The first time, I was employed as a freshman. Having had financial difficulties within my family, I felt that it was necessary for me to work if I wanted to enjoy more of the college experience, such as going out to eat with friends and exploring the downtown scene. As I was walking to class one day, I was approached and asked if I wanted to be a model for Abercrombie and Fitch. Naturally, I was curious about the opportunity and so I was inclined to say yes. I figured that this would be some interesting life experience if anything. Afterward, I worked as a model for about four months during my freshman year, as we had the option to later come back and work more

  • Personal Narrative: One Chain Grocery Store

    To take action I will begin to speak with grocery stores and see if we can come up with a plan, where grocery stores can donate their extra food that is going to waste to certain “food deserts”. Possibly we can make a deal with one chain grocery store particularly. Grocery stores have a great deal of foods that goes to waste, so why not donate to a good cause?

I am sure we would have no problem finding volunteers, I believe many of my social work friends would be interested in driving the food truck once in a while, and then the average middle-class person

    904 Words  | 4 Pages

    How many people have jobs in college? Working is not something that is popular among college students, as only about 20 percent of them have some form of a job.

Students with jobs can learn the skills needed in life to become successful and strive to stay motivated to improve their academic performance. In the essay, “Why More Teenagers And College Students Need To Work While In School” by Jeffrey J. Selingo, his claim that--more teenagers and college students should work while pursuing their education–is supported by his use of pathos and expert testimony which builds ethos.
