The first job I ever had was a life changing experience for me. In the summer of 2009, I worked at a nursing home / rehabilitation center. At first I wasn’t thrilled about the job but since it was close to my house I decided to take it. I expected it to be a boring and annoying job considering I would have to deal with the elderly all day. Before working at this job, I had this notion of how the elderly were just grumpy and mean to everyone but after working at the nursing home my perspective completely changed.
My job at the nursing home was to keep the elderly company by talking to them, playing games with them, running errands with them and much more. My first day on the job, I remember baking with them and I had an amazing time. Everyone was really friendly and talkative. It was unexpected for me to enjoy myself so much especially when I went into the job with such a negative impression of what working there would be like.
Everyday we would do something different with the elderly which made my experience even better. I especially enjoyed talking one on one with them because I got a chance to know them personally. I met people who were World War II veterans, Vietnam War veterans and models. I learned so much from them through their stories and personal life experiences and lessons that they’ve shared with me. They had so much advice to give and so many stories to tell that there wasn’t a day that I was bored when I worked.
The best part about working was I never saw it as work because I had so much fun. Work was actually a place where I could relax and not have a care in the world. From working at a nursing home, I’ve come to appreciate the elderly a lot more.

     My name is Wilmar Ng and I grew up in Brooklyn, New York. I’m 18 years old and I live with my parents. I enjoy cooking, hanging out with my friends,reading and shopping. My favorite dish to cook is chicken parmesan and my favorite food to bake is red velvet cake. I also enjoy traveling because exploring new places is always exciting. I graduated from Midwood High School in Brooklyn.
          
     My top three concerns about my freshman year is time management, my grades and my school work. I’m concerned about the way I manage my time because sometimes I tend to procrastinate with my school work and I end up rushing and doing a poor job. I’m concerned about my grades because I want to get the best grades as possible but so far I’m not doing as well as I thought I would be. I’m concerned about my school work because I’m not spending as much time as I want to on my school work.
          
     So far, I think the freedom that comes with college will make my college experience different from my high school experience. With freedom comes more responsibility which leads people to be more mature. I feel that the way professors treat students force students to be more responsible with there school work and life in general. in high school teachers constantly remind you of tests and when class work is due but college is nothing like that. 
          
     I think my first year of college will lead me to become more mature. So far I remind myself of every test, quiz, and assignment due which was difficult at first but now I’m accustomed to it. I expect college to be a life changing experience.
