...My brag page now… there’s so much to brag about, where do I start. I’m just kidding, but I have gotten some award over the years. For track I have some shuddle hurdle relay and 100m hurdle hurdles ribbons acquired from track meets over the past year that I am pretty proud of. I have a certificate from the Math Bee in fifth grade. Over the past few years I have gotten many honor band certificates, from multiple different honor bands. I also have gotten the Presidential fitness awards from school for getting outstanding in almost all of the events. I also have a championship medal that I have from baseball from 3 years ago. I have gotten a lot of awards, but none of them are that flashy and amazing. I do have a few talents too. First, sports. The first sport that I think that I have talent in is Cross Country. I started out as more of an average to a little above average, but when I practiced more, I got to be a lot better and amd running about a 1 minute and 40 second faster than I when I started out. Secondly, I am very musically talented. I am good at both singing and playing the trombone. I was selected for both the NCIBA middle school honor band for trombone, and the ____________ for choir. I am first chair in band, and a very good singer in chor. The third thing that I have talent in is school. I have never found it hard to get good grades in school, and I usually do very well on test, quizzes, and homework. There are the few times that I don’t do very good on tests or am...

...My interest in writing essays and being a leader allowed me to be elected Editor in Chief of the largest award winning yearbook in the nation. Working side by side with my Journalism teacher and managing a staff of editors, photographers and ad managers has taught me how to manage a company more than any AP course ever could. I have first hand experience in promoting an environment where every staff member could achieve their goals. I have first hand experience in learning to prioritize in order to meet deadlines and most importantly I have first hand experience in learning that quitting is not an option. But oddly, being Editor in Chief was not my identity throughout High School, because no person takes notice of who creates the yearbook, but instead I was known for being President of my class. While this was an important leadership position, no leadership position holds candle to the life lessons I learned creating the Highlander Yearbook. Motivating people to step up to the plate in order to be the best they can be was my responsibility in both leadership positions as President and Editor in Chief. Being President of my class, I was responsible for morning announcements, writing monthly editorials for the Bagpipe newspaper and creating social media post to promote school involvement. Student Council members felt the more each student was involved in school or community activities the less likely they would veer into self destruction. While being Editor in Chief, communication...

...Ever since a very young age, a love of ballet developed into a goal to prevail. With great anticipation, I was taken to my first live Nutcracker performance at the age of five. I remember watching the dancers in their beautiful costumes and moving in a mesmerizing graceful style on the stage. That fateful day sealed the decision of a career path in the performing arts. The dream of following a performing arts career in dance was furthered by attending Texas Christian University on a merit scholarship as a Ballet Major. This scholarship made it possible to train and dance on a daily basis and to quickly advance. Extremely hard work earned an offer to join a ballet company, a rare opportunity not offered to every dancer. Although that...

...Hall of Fame coach Don Shula once said, “Sure, luck means a lot in football. Not having a good quarterback is bad luck.” The most difficult job in sports is playing quarterback. No job in sports is more crucial to a team’s success. Without a quarterback a team cannot win. A quarterback is a pitcher, point guard, and coach all in one. Just as in baseball, where a team wins or loses based largely on how well its starting pitcher pitches, a football team will win or lose based on how well the quarterback performs. If a pitcher gives up seven runs or a quarterback throws four interceptions, the team will most likely lose. If the pitcher pitches seven shutout innings or the quarterback throws four touchdowns without an interception, victory is most likely the end result. Not only does the quarterback have to throw well, but he is also the point guard of a football team. Just as a point guard does in basketball, a quarterback must read the defense and make adjustments to the plays that are called. He must also spread the ball around to his various receivers. If a point guard does not make sure all of his teammates are getting the ball, then they will become frustrated and ruin the offensive rhythm. If a quarterback does not target all of his receivers enough, they may become frustrated and not block for their teammates causing the team to fail to execute and win. Most importantly, the quarterback has to act as the coach on the field. He has to know the offense as well...

A car would pull into the shop most likely need brakes or tire. Do the repairs necessary have another car come in. Its nearly impossible to control or choose what car will come in and what problems that car will have. One car could need a tuneup another maybe new struts. My days at work would vary. Researching this career has taught me that schooling would be relatively short. This career would not make a lot of money a year. most if not all of the work i do would be hands on. Some of my questions were answered a diesel mechanics program is a little longer than an automotive technician. Choosing what cars come into your shop is basically impossible. The best thing you can do is not doa few things. The question that wasn't answered is what is required to be in automotive restoration.

...Working with kids was something I couldn’t imagine myself doing until the summer of my freshman year in high school. Being with kids made me want a job working with younger people. They brought me joy, which made me want to brighten their lives. As a nurse, there is something I would look forward to every day because there may be things that come up that isn’t expected. Nursing is a chance to connect with the patients and bring joy to them, despite whatever they may be facing. A specific field of nursing that stands out to me is neonatal and pediatric nursing because it is focused on premature babies and younger children. To become a nurse, I will be trained to take care of the patients and provide the attention and care that is required. UCLA includes direct entry into nursing compared to other schools so that I can take the required courses for nursing earlier. Although the requirements to become a nurse may be overwhelming at times, I am eager to take on the challenge because the clinical courses prepare me well for everyday situations. The focus on science and research that is taught will help me overcome the challenges I have to face when I become a nurse. It compels me to be open to constructive criticism and improvement. With the small class size, we will be able to motivate and build one another up to our fullest potential. Being in UCLA’s nursing program will help me have hands-on practice for real-life situations as a nurse, and I will have the opportunity to work with...

...Snap I felt a crack and a sharp pain shot from the tip of my finger to my shoulder. I looked around and the game continued around me. I shook off the hit and went to the huddle where my teammates stood discussing plays and gearing up for the next play. I was used to pain and I would never let it pull me away from an important game. I always knew sports, especially football, had many physical risks. However, I never realized how many I would personally encounter. A few years later and I still feel the effects of breaking my nose several times, a broken hand, and a broken wrist. These memories standout as times in my athletic career, that definitely changed not only my playing dynamic but also the mindset that I had going into games. Breaking...

...Jacy Springer Mrs. Lozares English II 15 February 2017 The Life of a Chiropractor 1. I would like to study to become a chiropractor. I became interested in chiropractic services about two years ago after some of my family and I were in a very bad car accident. It did not occur to me that the wreck hurt me on the inside, but not on the outside, until I started running again. Sharp pains were being shot through my hips. My mom took me to the chiropractor when it got to the point where I could barely walk. Once Dr. Wolff adjusted me it felt like the pain was never there. Chiropractors are miracle workers. 4. A class at Durant High School that one could take to prepare for this career is Health Science. In Health Science you are taught about the body which is what a chiropractor needs to know about. To be a chiropractor you need to have a doctoral degree or a first professional degree. Chiropractors must have a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, which usually takes four years to complete, and a state license. It is required to have three years of undergraduate college education to be able to enter a Doctor of Chiropractic program (OK College Start.org). Chiropractic programs also require at least four...

...In the former organization I worked for, I was working for as a customer agent in company. During one of my shifts, I realized that I was spending too much between serving one customer and the next. This had started causing me frustration and it had also begun to affect the way that I was performing. One of the supervisors came to my workstation and observed the way that I was working. After about half an hour, my supervisor told me that I was doing things wrong and that was why I was taking a lot of time between shifting from one customer to the other. Instead of focusing on the reasons why my supervisor had given me some insight or in the way that my supervisor had called me aside to correct me, I chose to focus on the positive. I felt and...

...About one year ago a mentor said to me “If you want to pursue a career in the arts you'll need one thing, perseverance. This makes my job harder because it's something you can't teach.” Though today, tart is one of my main passions it did not begin that way. It started as a distraction Which turned into a hobby. Then after a slight downfall became a life goal. Firstly, In elementary school art was more about my lack of attention span and other talents than anything else.Way back in 4th grade my mom had to go to work extremely early. So I went to a before school program called Kids Klub. When my mom used drop me off I was always the first kid there . So every morning i came in sat down with some markers and started drawing while the leader relaxed.In exchange for me not causing trouble and being an “early bird” I got to pick from the newest markers.After an hour or so other kids would start to come in as it got closer to school time. With the brought their games, both physical and non. I in 4th grade used to play they quite a bit even though I was no good at them. By the time 5th grade rolled around though i usually just drew and talked to the instructors.This appreciation did not stop in the 5th grade though....

...her superwoman. But then again doesn’t every woman take on these roles in her life? Balancing a professional work environment while tending to a family. Could it be that her position as a counselor strengthens this thought and question? Human Resources Approach According to Miller, “the human resources approach acknowledges contributions of classical and, especially, human relations approaches to organizing” (45). I thought that this concept related best with my interviewee. As program coordinator as her official title she is in charge of many responsibilities. I asked her if she could describe her job as well as what are her main responsibilities were for. Her response was financial aid counseling, personal counseling, career & graduate/professional school counseling, and career services. She then explained her role as a program coordinator for that...

...In all my references my bosses have used words such as “dedicated, hardworking and whole hearted” to describe my work ethic. In just a few words, all my employers explain how my work ethic is unique and it will be missed. As I’ve stated earlier this job can be hard for some people to stick with on a career basis. However, I am not that person and I will work just as hard as I have in the past if not more. When I as a senior in high school I volunteered on Tuesday nights to feed the homeless. The first night I started volunteering I realized that I had gotten more than I had bargained for. There were so many homeless people in my community that I had been unaware of until that first night. Seeing both children and pets out on the street with nothing to eat and barely enough to keep them warm at night...
