Reflective Essay: The Sign WMR Defense
The blue building, as big as the fifth third bank downtown but instead on Harrodsburg road. The summer sun reflecting off the ten floors of windows on to my skin, as I sat on the bench every lunch break without Elly. The inside was a different story, going in was so professional seeing all these political offices of people like Rand Paul a member of the US Senate. Passing these offices made me feel real and official in a way, but it all went away when I reached the floor 9. (Ding) (Welcome to WMR Defense) Everyday that I had to work my first sight was the sign WMR Defense "Planning to resolve. Preparing to win. Seeing the sign was my first indication everyday that I had to face seven hours at work, and do my best. Julie the receptionist wasn't the biggest help either. I think she had a server case of OCD which made her hard to work with. I guess she thought Elly and I had some type of training before working at this law firm, but we didn't. Besides that starting the day was actually fun. When I came to work I had followed my routine of a daily cup of coffee, just because I could. …show more content…
With the everyday assignments we have here at STEAM, there is an time for them to be done. Even outside of school everything has a time limit, basically our daily life. Just like I have to be at school before 7:45 a time limit goes along with that. The time that have to wake up, get ready, and make your way to school so I can be punctual on time. When I say I learned my alphabetical order, I mean I improved on this. There are many things in life where it requires you to put things in sequential order. I actually recently applies to work at the library to be a shelf stocker. If I were to get this job, my alphabetical order skills would be needed in my everyday life at work. My skills can be used in everyday life, but I in this instance my skills I learned over the summer has helped me so much

    NJROTC Character Analysis

    NJROTC has instilled this useful skill into my everyday tasks because I know without proper time delegation, time can be wasted causing a rush to finish a job or task. The final trait I learned while being in NJRTOC is dedication. The major way dedication is shown in NJROTC is by taking the initiative: whether it is shown up at school at four in the morning on a Saturday for a competition or staying up late to do extra study for school. I expect to take my drive for dedication into my career because I believe it is the only way to adequately do the job you…

    Field Journal Entry Coping

    According to the University of Michigan, one of these skills is time management. Because I have several classes and projects, homeworks, etc. within all those classes, creating an organized calendar and schedule is vital. However, it is important to know the schedule must be realistic and include other activities besides studying and working on homework. For example, composing a schedule solely of school responsibilities will overwhelm and stress me further. This would happen because of my inability to meet my goals. Hence, adding breaks and time for other activities, such as sports, will…

    Personal Narrative: A Learned Behavior

    I use the advice you gave Dan almost every day. I get teased about my schedules. I just asked my daughter to tell me what we have to get accomplished by ten tonight. She gave me a list of things and I wrote them down. We worked together to plan the order of events to make sure everything gets done. Both of my girls write out list when there are multiple tasks to complete in a day. This shows that it is a learned behavior for those who do not use sequence at a use first level.…

    Multitasking In High School Analysis

    I awake before the sun. When I rise, I am greeted by the comforting darkness of the night, lulling me back to sleep. I engage in the daily brawl against my bed, struggling to get up. After a rough victory, I get out and start my day. I reach school by 8:00, where I spend the next 7 hours listening to the droning of teachers, laboring over assignments, and killing trees by taking pages of notes. Now, this scenario is not uncommon among most students. The average profile of several students shows that they take 6 AP’s, are part of 10 different clubs, and do 3 sports. To any normal person, it is obvious that this rigorous schedule would teach responsibility and time-management. I, however, learned something else: multitasking is not as useful…

    Film Class Self Assessment 2

    Despite my passion to become a well-rounded filmmaker, that means nothing if I can’t get myself organized. Last year, I had a lot of trouble becoming more responsible and coming to every class. This year I have started very strong, working hard to keep up and take these classes seriously. In efforts to keep this habit, I’ve started marking things down on my planner and have found that its essential for me to do this in order to keep track of all the things I do. I have three other classes that I equally try hard in. Besides the important matter of learning to balance my time more, I’ve found it quite easy to deal with the assignments themselves, it has just been a matter of assigning myself a time to put aside to work on them. As of now my general education classes and my film classes…

    Scholarship Essay To Florida State University

    Growing up in poverty meant always being in a pinch for money. This led me to my decision of seeking a job within the first month of my freshman year in high school. Thankfully, this decision led me to the precious self-taught skill of time management. I was able to build my skills until my sophomore year. I tried to take on additional shifts at work than I could handle, in aspiration of saving up for a car, and consequently my grades began to slip. I acquired my first C in my favorite class: Chemistry. Being an aspiring student in the medical field, and a student who prides themselves on their grades, I was devastated. As a result, I soon reached the epiphany that one has to have priorities in life; I chose mine to be education. I discussed with my boss my situation and she gave me a set schedule of a feasible 4 shifts a week. This allowed me to complete my homework and studying in advance. This also…

    College Success Thesis

    One has to approach school as an added duty in one’s life. I must add an extra responsibility to my daily chores and activities. I am venturing into an activity I have not done any schooling for over 30 plus years now. School is something I must learn all over again. This changes our everyday routines to a point that we all must learn to work well with this new education. I am glad that in the past I had learned great tools to work with while working on these new responsibilities. Making it great while I was getting my A.S. degree in Florida Tech College out of Orlando, FL. Back then everything was paper and pencil or pen. Now I see an all new era of schooling and especially online. I force myself to get things done early, just like I do when I need to be somewhere for an appointment. I arrive much earlier than requested so I have time to sit and plan what will be going on at this appointment. I turn that into the same here with my online class. I don't like to be late for anything even dinner at home. Work on my college activities and required assignments take on the same aspect that I apply to my personal life. Both must be taken on with kid gloves. But as long as I keep in mind the goals created for school and stick to them I should have no trouble working out any obstacles that come my…

    The Assault Reflective Letter

    The Assault Reflective Letter

    In the prologue, I was puzzled and my brain was clouded with the information that was given. I’m the type of person where a book is very slow paced I begin to let the information flow right out of my ears and my head becomes a notepad with scribbles overflowing the notepad from a four year old. The prologue wasn’t very convincing to jump into the roller coaster ride, but I did read on. After the prologue, I started into the first episode I was amazed of how this author uses so much imagery, personification, diction, and literary elements to get to his point. I love how he writes; the description he gave me about his home in Haarlem encouraged my brain to picture it like a movie in the theater. The literary elements inserted into his paragraphs made the story more intense and enjoyable to read. For example, the motif, stones, had great symbolism towards Fake (the son) where he “threw [the stone] straight at the mirror” and “the glass [broke] into large pieces that landed into splinters”. I think this motif represents all of the past dark memories that Fake and Anton have carried for so long that they try so hard to “throw” it away towards something else thinking it would vanished into particles. However, the stone “still [lies] there like an insult on [their] grand piano”. Therefore, the stone would be ruining their lives just sitting on the present lives and destroying it piece by piece, wondering when it is going to move out of their lives. This motif really impressed me throughout the whole book. I like this motif because almost everyone can relate to carry the past on the shoulders. Even though this book was about some boy’s life, this really impacted me by re-thinking about the past and my current life right now. I felt like I was the one going through the emotions for Anton, and I thought all those terrible events happened to me, but once my eyes left the page of the book; I was in my own world, my own life, that I am living now. I felt…

    The Importance Of Going Back To College

    I set up a schedule to keep me organized from the moment I wake up to the time I go to bed. I knew that sticking to it would be hard, but not impossible. It was important to set up a schedule because I was getting behind on my school work. I wake up in the morning and feed my baby, give my son breakfast and then get him ready for school. Having a schedule is very important because that is how you will see how organized you are and if any changes are needed to have time for school.…

    My Literacy Learning Experience Essay

    Better time management could also be a part of that deal. I always wondered if it’s because I work well under pressure. This became a realization of mine when I entered and became part of the workforce in my early adulthood. Many of my past jobs required high volume jobs or orders to be completed by a deadline and the results were always positive when I started them when it got closer to the deadline. Perhaps that attitude or work ethic transferred to my school work. Even so, my jobs really did not require much writing besides the occasional email to coworkers so I did not have a lot of sponsorship to fully advance my literacy learning in this…
