Experince

This writing will be able 3 major experiences I have gone through in my life and how these experiences changed me as a person and gave me a better outlook of what I want to do in the future. I also will be speaking about experiences that expose my powers and experiences that has given me knowledge and taught me something. These experiences are very important to me because each meant something to me in my life.
 

One experience that gave me an insight on what I want to do is when I had the opportunity to work in 3 different hospitals for the past 3 years. I worked at Dana Farber Cancer Institute in the summer of 2013 as a receptionist in the Breast Oncology Department. I learned a lot of office work and how to create many projects using excel and PowerPoint. In the fall of 2013-2014, I worked at Brigham and Women's Hospital in the Pulmonary Department and was basically my supervisors assistant. I also did office work and create my own booklet about Asthma. This past coming summer I worked at Children's Hospital and I was in the Supply Chain Department where all the inventory was for the whole hospital and I learned each of the supply and threw away any expired supplies. This has taught me that I want to be involved in the Medical Field as I grow older and I want to do this for a livings



Second experience in my life that exposed my power was working at a program called Sociedad Latina. This organization has taught me so much. They knew I was afraid of public speaking so they challenged me to create a testimony and to present it out to the Boston school committee on national television and thousands of people surrounding me. I almost pissed my pants! I am very well in communicating but I never had the urge to speak in front of many people and being able to experience that did terrify me but I definitely got through with it and gained so much confidence with public speaking. I am still a bit shy however, I have more guts to do it now.



Last but not least, the third experience in my life that has given me knowledge is when I went to field trip freshmen year to the Holocaust in downtown for history class. The holocaust was created when Hitler was in charge of Germany. 11 million people were killed by the Nazis and 6 million of them were Jews. It was a terrible thing they did to people and everyone just tried  to forget about it but can you really forget something like this? having the opportunity to see this In person and learn more about it gave me so much knowledge.

Worst Job

Cleaning and sweeping
Bus tables'
set tables
didn't have a meaning
to what I was doing
I was a busboy
got paid so little
doing too much
was feeling belittled
treated unfairly
the color of my skin 
 I could do more then just wash a freakin' dish
held up my chin
full of pride
although I sometimes cried
Stuck it through for my mom
she needed the money
I tried to just keep it calm
I was just a busboy anyway
the worse freakin' job
I just went through it anyway

Independence

A power I discovered was strength and independence. I discovered this when I was just in the 10th grade when I had received my first job at Sociedad Latina. This is an organization for Youth that is located in Mission Hill. I got paid to facilitate workshops about the community, I created testimonies to present to the school committee and I participated and developed different cultural events. Ever since I had gotten this job at the age of 15 I haven't been jobless since. It felt good being able to receive my own money and not having to ask my mother for money anymore. At first, I didn't get paid a lot but at that age it seemed good enough for me since I didn't pay for any bills. I started to save all the money I was getting for about 3 years and had gotten a couple of thousands that I was saving all for college. Each summer, I would work at a hospital since the program knew I was interested in Healthcare they had gave me an opportunity to work in 3 different internships in Brigham & Women's Hospital, Boston Children's Hospital, and Dana Farber Cancer Institute each year. After a year of working my mother did not support me as much. Anything that I needed I had to buy it myself. I learned to be responsible and to spend my money wisely. Now, I consider myself a hard worker and very independent.




 A moment in my life where I had lost power was junior year when I was working 2 jobs and going to school. I was so stressed out and it had gotten the best of me. I wasn't getting enough sleep at night and I wasn't doing so well in school. However, I didn't care because this was the moment my mother had lost her job and she was struggling. I just felt like it was my responsibility to help her because she was raising 3 kids on her own and she is also a single mother. I felt that I had lost power because I couldn't handle everything all at once. I had to quit one of the jobs because I had to bring my grade up in school. I just couldn't see my mom struggling, it broke my heart. Although, I tried it I felt like I wasn't  helping as much. I sat down on the computer and applied to so many jobs for her. I was desperate, I just couldn't stand the fact that she wasn't doing well. She eventually got a job a couple weeks later and I was relieved. The reason I had lost power was because I feel like its my responsibility to take care of my family and I was struggling as well to do so.



Something I could do to strengthen my powers is to take more responsibility such as, paying bills and owning a credit card and by continuing to work and make money so that I won't have to depend on anybody else. I also believe that meditation and working out is a good way to relax and strengthen your mind and can help you focus better in just about anything. Just being able to balance everything out so that you won't get stressed and just keeping you're mind focused on what needs to get done and overall this will make you successful in life.


When I was a limitless child

When I was a limitless child...
My dream was to save people
To become a superhero
To inspire people one day
To be remembered as someone important
in some way

When I was a limitless child...
I believed I was Barbie
I had long hair
A pretty face
A pink dress
With a matching white lace

When I was a limitless child...
I wanted to teach
I place the bears in front of me
like a class
taught math and English
Students attitude full of sass
