i remember
I remember when I first went to go take an interview for a job. To start, it was my first time and I was very nervous. I would stutter my words when I talked. My hands were getting really sweaty. Most importantly, I couldn’t make eye contact with the person that was interviewing me. Instead, I let my eyes wander all over the place. Another reason that my first interview was so memorable is because besides doing a bad job in the interview, I got the job. At the end of my interview, I was given a schedule. I was then told to come to work the next day to start training. I felt so lucky in getting the job. The third reason that my first interview was so memorable was because out of my brothers and I, I was the only one to get a job on the first try of a interview. My oldest brother failed his very first interview because he wasn’t prepared in whatever he had to prepare. My other brother got the job he first tried to get, except he had to take the interview two different times. However, I got my first job from taking the interview only once. I remember going home being really happy in telling my parents and bragging to both my brothers that I was better than them. I will never forget when I first went to go take an interview for a job.

    I Remember Mama

    • 917 Words

    exquisitely detailed film directed by George Stevens I Remember Mama tells of a Norwegian family living in San Francisco during the beginning of this century. It is an old classical movie, based on Kathryn Forbes' novel titled Mama's Bank Account. The film is rendered and it is a moving act of memory about how an immigrant family copes with poverty and how they try to overcome the odds of living in a foreign country. I could identify with almost every scene in the movie and not because of the era but because of the feelings it provoked. There was so much warmth, so much hope and yet it wasn't the "perfect" family, it was just people living life on life's terms.…

    It was a Thursday morning in November. I woke up, got dressed and got ready to take a taxi to 42nd Street in Manhattan with my mother. I was so upset that I had to leave to upstate somewhere I had never been and the thought of living there? Lord knows I wanted to throw up so badly. When I got to 42nd Street I saw the guy that I had an interview with. He said, “Hello Nikki. Are you excited to go to Job Corps?” I lie and said yes. When it was time to leave I said goodbye to my mother and got on the bus.…

    L I z z I e B o r d e n A little over a century ago a gruesome double murder was committed, in the 2-½ story house at 92 Second Street, in Fall River, Massachusetts. This crime shocked the nation as Lizzie Borden, a 32-year-old Sunday school teacher, went on trial for the murder of her father and her stepmother. An all male jury eventually acquitted her on the accusations. To this day, the murderer of Andrew J. Borden and Abby Gray Borden is still unknown, but in the public mind everyone believes it was Lizzie Borden. Lizzie was born and grew up in Fall River, Mass. She was the youngest daughter of Andrew Jackson Borden, who was a very successful Banker and Sarah Morse Borden. Sarah died when Lizzie was very young and Andrew then married Abby Durfee Gray. Lizzie grew up with an elder sister, Emma. Neither of them has ever married. The sisters hated their stepmother, mainly because of the family’s inferior social position. On the day of August 4, 1892, the bodies of Andrew Borden and his wife were found mutilated. As opposed to 40 whacks, in the popular rhyme, 19 blows struck Abby Borden by a hatchet or axe to the back of her head and neck. At the time she was cleaning the guestroom of the family home, at 9:30 am. Andrew Borden, who had returned home around 10:30 am, after his daily business had been attended to, was either napping or reading the newspaper on a couch in the parlor, when he was attacked. 11 blows were rained upon Mr. Borden's head and face, to the point that one eye hung from its socket upon his cheek, and his close friend and physician, Dr. Bowen, couldn’t recognize him. There were only two people in or about the house at the time of the killings, Lizzie Andrew Borden and Bridget Sullivan, the Borden's maid. There is some speculation as to others that may have been responsible for these heinous acts. Among the other alleged killers are John Morse, the brother of Andrew's first wife, a secret lover Lizzie was said to have, though never named, Emma…

    My experience in interviewing for the first time was not as what I was expecting. Being in an actual interview is completely different than being in a formed imaginative situations I made in my head. Though throughout the process, I learned lessons that came from a form of downfalls. I learned that confidence, concentration, preparation, and commitment play big roles in generating a successful interview. These downfalls are what I hope to improve on for future interviews that I will be involved in.…

    Since it was my first day at Psych Clinical, I was very nervous and scared. My anxiety level was around 9 when I was starting the interview and I had 1 after the interview. It was not that bad as I thought. My patient was playing in the gym with her groupmates, so the environment was good. She was playing and enjoying herself so she was pleasant to talk. She was able to answer all my questions appropriately. My anxiety level goes down as I talked with the patient because I was able to create a rapport with a patient. My patient said she felt great talking with me, so it cheers my mood.…
