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

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. Over the years, students enrolled in college have stopped working, most likely due to a decision to focus on their education, and although education is important--jobs are too. 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.

I was then prompted to begin volunteering at the local Boys and Girls Club. Little did I know that this would have a great effect on my life and character. After volunteering for most of that school year, I wanted to work there. The kids brightened the atmosphere around me, and each time I helped them, I knew I was doing something right. Therefore, I sent in a job application and I have now been employed there since August.

It’s the end of the game, my team is down one, there are eight seconds and counting on the clock and the ball is in my hands. I search the stands to find the one person who has been there for me my entire life. Only he’s not there. It’s easy to get caught up in the game; not the game of basketball, but the dope game. It is a life few choose, but many find themselves in due to the harsh reality of job loss and depression.

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? Then I will work to make food trucks out of school buses, where we can find volunteers to drive the trucks into low-income areas and offer the fruits and vegetables, as well as easy meals. 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

“We all have to grow up sometimes” is a fairly common saying. While childhood is a wonderful time when responsibilities are minimal, there comes a point in time when that easy, carefree lifestyle confronts you with some adult responsibilities. Usually, at some point of your high school career, a part-time job becomes a necessity. The older you get, the quicker you realize your desire to have some spending money. My job at Modell’s Sporting Goods as a part-time cashier, has provided me with an opportunity to earn a salary as well as teach me some valuable life lessons, such as responsibility, dependability, and customer service skills to name a few.

When I was a young girl my mother use to tell me “The same amount of work you put in is the same amount of reward you will receive.” This specific saying stuck in my head, because I interpreted it as If you want to educate others you must first educate yourself. I felt to accomplish this it would be best to join groups that would improve my personal and professional skills. This was my motivation behind doing things like pursuing volunteer groups, jobs and mentoring positions. My current positions are a job at my local H-E-B, Social media director of an all girl group called Ladies Of Distinction and a position in my school’s National Honor Society.

I wanted to start off small and then slowly ease myself into more and more groups and potential employment positions without having to overwhelm myself right away. By doing this, it's really helped me to time manage and balance out my time spent with school, work, hobbies, and my social life. My current job at Oakton has also really helped me improve my social skills. It has taught me how to provide a welcoming work space, and it has taught me to make myself much more approachable. As someone who was a very quiet and in a sense, socially inept person, it's taught me to be more open and welcoming and it's really impacted my life outside of school.

Two years ago at this time, I would have never expected to be sobbing over my green hoodie which had become a major part of my previous relationship. Two years ago I was happy and I thought that that would never change, but others were getting hurt while I was sitting there, content with what was happening around me. During this time it was homecoming, and I was asked by this cute girl that I wanted to be with forever, even though forever ending up lasting only a year and eight months. During homecoming everything was innocent, and eventually in October we were together officially. Around this time it was getting pretty chilly outside, so I decided to give her my jacket.

I learned how hard it is to manage and run a company and how much work and time is put into the company. David Brown and David Townsend have so much on their hands juggling camps, plays, and cleaning up during the off season, it was great to be apart of helping the two of them complete jobs they wanted to finish. Even though most of the organizing and cleaning that was done while I interned will probably not last long, due to the craziness of finding and putting costumes together that have to represent certain character and have to fit specific actors/actresses. It makes me feel good because I know the work I’ve done will help and make things easier for all of the staff and actors/actresses at the Green Room. The majority of the kids my age don’t want to intern anywhere because they don’t want to work during the summer, but if if all intern sites were as amazing as the Green Room they would probably change their minds.

Some say getting hired at any job can be difficult, especially if it considers taking a few risks to work during long hours. Like Russel Honore and Bill Laitner talks about how they risked to not work for anything they were interested in, but who can complain when somebody earns money to take care of oneself? Some people believe that having a job is a privilege, and that anyone should be thankful for having that job even if some of those employees do not like it. Although having a job can be time-consuming and stressful, it is a responsibility to provide for oneself with anything that comes from work. Appreciate a job that can get someone paid for something that they have to do.
