Today, I got the opportunity to switch up my schedule a bit and work maintenance at Tettegouche State Park. I started my shift by meeting at the maintenance shop to get briefed on my daily tasks. Today I was tasked with mowing the grass at Eckbeck and Finland State Forest Campgrounds. It was actually one of the first days I got the opportunity to work with the other operations intern Jena Murray. So, we loaded up the equipment needed and headed out to begin mowing Finland State Forest Campground. It took us until about 11:00am to finish mowing Finland, so we then took an early lunch and headed off to Eckbeck. We finished mowing Eckbeck State Forest Campground around 4:00pm where we then headed back to Tettegouche. Upon our arrival at the maintenance…
I was put in charge of organizing a corporate event for the Phoenix Emergency Dental Pros. I took this as a huge show of trust in my abilities by the management of above and beyond LI. I set up a team to ensure that every end of this event was properly covered. Our excellence shone through like a million stars as planning was put in top gear. We knew that it was going to be a program that would showcase our expertise to every emergency dentist that would be attending.…

My stomach was in knots the night before my first ever interview as I contemplated what I had to offer with little experience outside of babysitting and raking leaves. Although I landed the opportunity, I found myself full of hesitation the night before beginning my serving assistant job. My family taunted me by referring to my new job as the Assistant to the Assistant Server referring to the T. V. show “The Office”. In the end, the teasing helped diffuse my nervousness.…
One thing that sets me apart from the other candidates applying to the University of California is my hard work. I have always been smaller than other kids my age. At 15 years old I was 4’ 10’’ and looked like I was eleven years old. Although this was an advantage at the airport, when I would begin to take off my shoes and the TSA Officer would look at me and say, “Don’t worry twelve and under can keep their shoes on.” I was often discredited for my size. Especially because I played volleyball, a sport known for its height. I constantly struggled to make a team I deserved to be on because people would see my height and automatically think I was not capable. Although my height often led me to feel discouraged and angry it eventually taught hard work.…

Football has always been a big part of my life. As a young boy I would day dream of making insane touchdowns, making tackles that would leave man stuck in the ground, and even winning the heisman trophy. In 7th grade I had begged my mother endlessly to sign me up for pee wee football because she would always worry about the risks of football. After finally getting her to sign me up, we went straight into the season. I chose to play running back because as a 12-year-old I was remarkably fast having timed 5.3 in the 40 yard-dash. After a few weeks in the season we approached the playoffs and found out our opponent for the first round of the playoffs were the jaguars who were undefeated. Our team didn’t have the best chemistry on…
Traveling into the Indian Territory, we were being angrily chased down by three Indians furiously shouting at us. Dashing through the thick forest, the savage Indians were throwing spears and shooting arrows that narrowly missed us. Although neither Gideon nor I was mortally injured, I did suffer from a nick from an arrow piercing near my ear. Thankfully, a group of burly fur traders approached from the side, which frightened the Indians to run away. Acknowledging that Gideon and I were inexperienced travelers in the west, they offered us protection in exchange for some valuable possessions. As a consequence, knowing that they were our best alternative for survival, we gave them our antique gold pocket watches and assumed the identities of novice fur traders. From that point on, we followed them through the west and adopted their skills for efficiently hunting animals and keeping warm in the harsh, cold weather. During one of our rest points, we approached a large Cherokee settlement located in Park Hill in which our group leader was friends with the Cherokee leader John Ross.…

A few months ago, we had a few projects going on at my job to help improve our work process. The process we had in place was perfectly fine throughout most of the year. However, during November and December we have a higher volume of work that our current work process was not well suited for. Management kept coming up with ideas to improve the process for the high volume of work we need to get out. However, most of management does not know how things will really play out once they are implemented. During the project I was ask to help implement the new processes that were developed. With my knowledge of our regular process, I was also allowed to point out what would not work and I was given permission to make necessary changes for the project.…
Hannah Jones is my third interviewee and she is an immigration caseworker. She welcomes me into her office. Her office is very stuffy, and clients’ files are sprawled all over her desk. The curtains are partly drawn, allowing only a bit of light into the tiny room. She is however very presentable; hair pulled back into a ponytail. She starts tapping her fingers on the table as soon as we get seated, and I start my interview right away. “How long have you worked in the immigration department. Are there are any problems that you have encountered in your office?” She leans back in her tiny seat, and she is quiet for about a minute. “I have worked in my cramped up office, as you can see, for nearly a decade." It takes me by shock as she does not…
When I was in a difficult situation I was working at my job at Walgreens. It was the morning shift and It was extremely busy and I was exhausted. A customer comes up and I greet them and they leave the next person in line puts her stuff on the counter and went back to get something else. When she came back I scanned all her items and stated her total it was over $30. She gave me a $20 dollar bill and I said “sorry it's $35.80. She yelled saying that she gave me $40. She was saying that I stole the $20 form her. In this situation I stayed calm and was explaining to her that I only saw $20 that you put on the counter. She demanded to the manger to look at footage on the camera. 10 minutes went by and the manager came back saying she only put…
My goals for myself are so much higher than what other people may expect from me. I have a goal to be at the top of my class at the end of my college career and finding a job I can really excel in.

I know that I will be able to make the best impact that I can make through business. As of now my school grades are at a 4.0 and were all throughout high school. I received 2 academic…
Nine am. Cool July morning. Then, the screaming. Over the summer I worked at a special needs camp in a pre-k inclusion classroom, and one of the neurotypical peers was a four year old boy with bright blue eyes, a warm laugh, and defiant, aggressive attitude. Anytime this little boy would be asked to do anything, whether it be transition activities or put on his shoes, a full blown meltdown would ensue. The meltdown would not only be disruptive, but potentially harmful to the others since the intense screaming and kicking could cause a sensory overload. The other staff would try different methods of discipline, that would, at the most, last 10 minutes. Then one morning, I was assigned to him.…
