Personal Narrative: My Job Shadow
My job shadow host was Diana Middleton whom is the Director at the Humane

Society of Atchison. I was at the Humane Society from 8 a.m to 12 p.m but her full

work shift is from 8 a.m to 5 p.m. At work, she is responsible for feeding and watering

the dogs and cats, cleaning the dog’s kennel runs, cleaning the cat room, washing

their bedding, and giving animals vaccines. When she’s not doing these things,

she’s working at her desk. She is also the one who hires and fires the employees.

It was very interesting to see what they do at the Humane Society on a day-to-day

basis. The day was pretty slow though and only a small amount of people showed up.

My favorite part of the day was definitely playing with the dogs and cats.

    Personal background starts off small, it changes and grows over time into something big, it grows into an identity. Walking down the hallway at school, seeing someone standing alone, my first instinct is to make conversation, compliment, or even just smile at him or her. This instinct came from someone once telling me an act so small could turn a person's entire life around. As a kid, reading encyclopedias about random topics, consumed my time. Many days were spent coming home to find an injured wild animal in my dad's arms waiting to be saved. My dad would sit outside and draw animals, trees, and anything else he saw. Nothing excited me more than trying to draw whatever my dad drew, and as good as he did. Any assignment that was handed to…

    This charity saves lives by showing their patients, either dog or human, that they are still loved no matter how lonely. Nonprofit charities are groups of devoted people and generous donators working together for the same cause. The Freedom Service Dogs of America is a foundation full of great people willing to donate their time for an amazing charitable body. Founded in 1987 by Michael and PJ Roche, the brothers strive for redemption of abandoned dogs and help for disabled people.

Their charity saves about one-hundred dogs a year and have graduated three-hundred and fifty clients with their newly trained dogs.

    They gotten involved with other programs that help them support ASPCA, they have families involved especially children “Humane Education programs offered by the ASPCA and other humane groups emphasize that development of a caring and kind attitude among children includes the proper treatment of animals. Kindness is a skill that is learned and honed…” In my opinion this organization needs to keep growing every day with the help of everybody in the USA, we shouldn’t throw dogs away because they’re ugly and old. We have no right to hurt another living thing. As the commercial say “if they could talk, they would be the one with great stories to tell” just this pass Saturday a friend of mine and I rescued a German Shepard and Boxer that is just six months, outside of Applebee’s she has ran away from her owner cause she wasn’t well taken care of, we contacted her and she didn’t want her, so now my friend and I are taking care of her. Also today in Sociology class Mr. Walt was taking to the class about donating a dollar to save hurt dogs at an animal shelter. All these ideas came from the same place ASPCA…

    I believe Friends of Long Beach Animals is a great deserving non-profit becuase they promote low-cost spay and nueter programs for low-income residents in Long Beach, which is good becuase many people from low-income areas have dogs and cats that are not nuetered, becuase they are either uninformed or they can't afford to nuetered their pets. Those animals that are not nuetered can lead to many unwanted dogs and cats being born, which end up on the streets or in animal shelters leaving some to be euthinized. Friends of Long Beach Animals, also, provide humane education classes for children and provide books to local libraries. The classes they teach to the Long Beaach K-12 schools is about kindness and respect to animals. FOLBA is dedicated…

    I distinctly remember working part-time at Starbucks, and there realizing all of the economic theories at play. Two of my coworkers worked separately, but towards the same end, exercising their comparative advantage. I later watched as happy hour rolled around, and demand suddenly skyrocketed as our prices dropped. It was deeply impressive to see the seemingly complicated subject of economics so clearly demonstrated in my minimum wage job. I was only a month into my first microeconomics course, but I had already made the decision to declare myself an economics major. I have always been, I think, deeply interested in what drives our world. So it was only natural that in listening to my professor explain the pricing of goods and how labor was…

    As the single child in a family with working parents, I spent the most time of my childhood living and hanging around with my dog. This experience might be one of the reasons that I am very compassionate to animals and sensitive to people’s needs. My voluntary work is in a welfare house called Alenah's home. I love working there because I like seeing the smile face of the children there – even some autism babies don’t smile facially, I believe they can feel the love when being caressed softly.…

    This organization rescued a stray dog that was in dire conditions. His fur was so matted and dirty that he did not even look like a dog. However, the group took the dog in and cared for him. The first thing that they did was shave off of the dog's hair. They also groomed the dog. He now looks like a totally different dog. He is thankful to be indoors with people who love and care for him.…

    It was supposed to be a temp job. The deal was six months, then six months turned into two years. Although I could use the money I really didn’t want to stay. The job was a bit beneath my skill set. I have worked for big companies such as Goldman Sachs, Time Warner, as an executive assistant. I assisted 5 different bosses to land this job with mediocre duties. “Good Morning thank you for calling Blow Bart how can I help you?” What kind of name is Blow Bart anyways? It sounds very perverted. What the company does is fix appliances such as ovens, slicers, refrigerators you get my drift. So all I do all day is schedule techs to come out and fix peoples appliances. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to do it. What about Microsoft office? I spent so…

    On April 11th, 2017 I went Job Shadowing. I Job Shadowed Mrs. Wilson one of the many Career Technical Education teachers at Chase High School. When I arrived we greeted each other, and talk about what each class was going to do that day. Some students from her fourth period class had sent in some recipes that they wanted to make, so we sat down and made one main grocery list so that we knew how many and what they would need. I didn't get to go to the grocery store with her because I would need a permission slip; although it would have been a great experience I got to stay and make sure all the stations had all the things that they would need I also got to help some of the kids from Mrs. Armstrong’s class with some of the cooking that they were…
