UPS Changes being made

At UPS there are a lot of good things going on, such as the production and overall ability to be the best in the world when it comes to shipping. But at UPS its more than just being the best in the world, it’s about caring about your customer’s packages and product, along with the caring of the work of the people. At UPS we don’t only look at the production value, but we look at the customer feedback, when we look at this we make sure that we are doing an overall good job when it comes to servicing our customers. Despite the fare increases that are being made at UPS, we still have a goal of making sure that our customers are happy, when it comes to air package handling, that is the most expensive, but when it comes to ground package handling, something that is very cheap me still want to add the same overall package handling to those packages.

No matter the package price, we at UPS want to make sure that we handle each package with the same amount of respect and care that we do with the most expensive. We at UPS have to raise the prices of our services because of the overall impact that the economy is making not only on our company at UPS, but the people of the community and our competitors.  UPS has a goal to make sure that we are the best and that we are the ones that people want to use when it comes to shipping, we want to be known as the company that people will look to when they have something very important to ship, and they want it there with a quick and fast delivery. UPS has to raise their prices on the air and ground delivery to keep up with the competitors and economy because they will be greatly affected if they don’t, but with this we pledge to become the most dependable and the most reliable shipping company in the world.

UPS strives to become the best when it comes to shipping, despite the fact that our competitors such as FedEx don’t use union workers, and thus are much cheaper prices. UPS needs the help of the United States judicial system to help them fight against FedEx and make them become a union so that our competition fair against one another. Despite the fact that UPS has to pay fees such as union dues and other prices, we still are the go to company when it comes to shipping and receiving. But we at UPS want to become even better and become the one and only company when it comes to shipping, because our competitors have an unfair advantage over us when it comes to prices and shipping. Hopefully by the help of the U.S judicial system we can become that company that is looked at as the one and only company in the shipping world

Turning Negatives into Positives

The one experience in my life that I never like to talk about but know really helped me put things into perspective, was an event that happened to me in high school. My first three years of high school I was a three sport athlete looking to go to college to continue pursing sports,  I was a top 15 runner on the number one cross country team in the nation. But I had a big dilemma on my hands; my hockey coach wanted me to quite running to focus on hockey, while my cross country coach wanted me to quite hockey to focus on running. It all came to a halt 3 months into my junior year of high school when during a practice on a Monday night I was awkwardly checked into the boards during a skating drill. I fell to my knees and tried to get back up, but I could not, I tried again, only to realize that something was not right. With my back on the cold ice I tried again, only this time looking down at my legs, soon to realize that something was very wrong.  Almost simultaneously I felt an excruciating amount of pain, and from there my sports career was essentially over for me.  I ended up with a dislocated left knee, tearing everything in my knee from the ACL to my MCL. On my way to the hospital that night in the ambulance I kept hearing the words of my cross country coach in my head, telling me to quite, but both of us knew I never would quite hockey or cross country because I loved the thrill of competition and the ability to be on a team way too much.

To say something positive was gained from such a bad injury is hard to do, but I have come out of this more upbeat and positive than ever. For six months after my injury I was so down on life, but when I finally recovered from my surgery and tried to run again, it really showed me how much hard work I had done to get to the point I was before my injury. Six months earlier I could run a 4:43 mile, and keep up with top group of runners on the team, now I could barley run for 5 minutes without stopping.  With the guidance of my coach I continued to run again, though never to the level I was capable of before, I still got to do what I loved, and that is run.  Overall I gained the knowledge of hard work and how important it is to give everything that you have, because in one single moment everything could be taken away from you. 

To this day that is why I strive to do the best that I can at what I do and not take anything that is given to me for granted. I will never be able to play hockey again in my life, but I am able to run again, proving that even when someone has been knocked down to the lowest point in their life, they can still get back up and do the things they love to do with a lot more appreciation for it. I really began to understand that you need to live each day as if it is your last, because you don't know when it will be your last day.
