I've been through some things in my young life that have molded me and taught me things about myself. I'm sure I'll go through a lot more. I look forward to it because everything in my past has taught me more about myself. I've learned from my experience in life, work, and play. I hope to continue to grow in all I do. My past has exposed who I am and where I want to go. My past experiences have shown me where I should be.
I had some jobs where I've been very unhappy and some I loved completely . My last job at a nursing home was my favorite. I helped take care of elderly patients with physical and mental disabilities, such as Alzheimer's disease. I learned a lot about people, how vulnerable you become with age. I learned, we all need help in the end. No matter who you are and what you've done, you start to depend on another. You'll always need someone. This job opened my eyes and shown me a power of my own, the power to nurse.( to care for others). I truly love to help others, it makes me shine inside.
One very important experience I've been through that helped me realize what I want to do was when my sister gave birth to my niece. When my sister gave birth, I was helping her. I was right there beside the nurse. I got first hand experience up close and it was amazing. I felt a power that was meaningful, The power to help bring in life. This was a special day in my life. Seeing my niece come into this world was powerful, beautiful and brought a lot of joy to me. So thankful for the moment I got to share with my sister and her family.
All of these experiences have been eye-openers. They've helped direct me on the path I want to finish. My past has played a major role in who I am today.
To accomplish great things, you must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe.

Another Day In Paradise
I used to like this job
Now I can't wait to get out. Wish I could grab my things and finally I'm gone.
All the worst things in one little song.
I could never see myself going far here
I want the post office in Kenmore Square to just disappear.
All the spurs, dead letters and supervisors in their chairs.
Man I do not belong here.
All my hard work never appreciated. These lazy ass supervisors always waiting...
for me
I need to live my dreams. I need to be away from these crazy post office fees.
I hate this job so much that when I punch in.
I want to hit out for lunch.
So many lazy people doing the same old things,
I need to live this place to see what my life brings.
This place is taking a toll on me. Made me sit down and think of where I should be. I'm so much better than this. I deserve so much more. Being stuck here, when I want so bad to just hit the door.
I really want to quit I have to do it for me. I need to move on, there is so much more I will be.
I never thought I'd be here.
I feel like I'm stuck, Only because I'm making a big ol' buck.
Its not enough for me. I can become much more. I rather go out there. I mean I rather explore.
There are things to do and more to see.
I have to step out this mailing box,
I have to do it for me.
Great post!
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent work, and these three experiences are very touching. It's great to see how you've come to understand your power. Great!
Your poem is also great! It's honest and very sincere. That's powerful. I'm sure there are other people in this class (and of course, everywhere) that feel the same way about their jobs.
That's why we're in this class - to move closer to what we really want and need.
The pictures's you chose are great, too! Awesome design!
Only suggestion: try to write a little bit more. Give more details. Revisit these moments and take your reader right in! Try to add a little more detail.
