Scenario One: First Day on the Job Sheila felt ready to get to work after her one day job orientation for new employees. When she got to work, however, she was shocked.

    I suddenly realized that no one could ever find out. Rushing to my car I flung the door open and got inside. Racing home I felt the nerves stream through my body. Inside the house I gradually walked to my bedroom and stepped inside. Creeping over to the loose floorboard I felt the sweat drip from my palm. Kneeling down I moved the old board aside and picked up the substantial object. The leather brown sides felt rough as I gently ran my fingers over it. Gathering my thoughts I brought myself to open the ominous object. The bold black letters appeared to be more frightening than I thought. Jaxson Eugene Brown emerged from the thick yellow page and sent a shiver down my back. As I continued to read the frightening book the last sentence almost stopped me in my tracks. May 1st, 2016 Jaxson Eugene Brown will be pronounced dead.…

    I asked Ms. Hill what is the most interesting part of her job? This answer was hard for her because she said that a lot of her job is very interesting but one thing she loved the most is meeting the speaker that come to the school. She is able to sit down and meet with them and have lunch. Ms. Hill is also able to get to know the speaker and later keep in contact with them. I thought this was awesome because she is able to get to know many great people. One thing that she loved at a small university was that small universities are very flexible and a very tight knit, family oriented community. If someone is sick the family is able to take over the sick person job until they come back. After asking her about what was the interesting part I decided to ask her about the polar opposite and that was the challenging part of her job. One challenging part is that being at a small university you have to be aware of the budget. In higher education there may be a very tight budget. In addition to a small budget you also get short handed with the work load. She told me that she goes home many nights and still has a lot of work to do and that it can be tiring because her job really never stops. She told me that “Work is you life in a communication and media job”(Jenny Hill). She is also trying to do a lot with very little and she says sometimes she has to be creative with what she does. I tried to understand what she…

    Imagine yourself sitting in the doctor’s office and you have just been diagnosed with a terrible, terminal disease. The doctors were very late catching it, and they tell you there is not much they can do for you other than make you comfortable for the last phase of your life. You do however; have a couple options for care. You can decide to fight it with medications anyway regardless of the phase of the illness, or you can accept the medications to make you comfortable until the end. Now fast forward a few months, and imagine yourself in hospice care. You are under round the clock supervision and medications to “ease your pain”.…
