What are the qualities of someone who is internship ready?

  Someone who is internship ready is mature and can take on anything the boss gave them. Someone that’s internship ready gets their job done when it’s due, and someone that’s always on time and knows what they are doing. Someone who knows the basics of what they’re doing. A person who doesn’t act like a kid and the boss doesn’t have to watch over them. I would show internship readiness by not sleeping in class, sit up when the teacher is teaching, and do all my homework.

What is the best and the worst job (paid or volunteer) that you have ever had?

  The best job that I ever have was an internship at the YBCA. It is a theater at the YBCA garden downtown behind matron the movie theater. This job was to dance it was an after school internship, so who didn’t want to get pay to dance. The dance that we did was a mix of hip-hop, African, chines, and Brazil. I love this internship because I love art and I make my own art, out of the program and in the program. I enjoy doing it because it’s one of my passion and skill, and you also get pays to do it. The primary responsibilities were being there on time and come to rehearsal often. What make the job enjoyable it’s because it about something I like to do so that’s why I enjoy doing it? 


  The skill that I learn that will help me in the internship is to be on time. What I learn about the workplace is that the workplace is busy, people always working and don’t have that much time to access you when you do need help. I also learn about myself to be patience. 


  The worst job I ever had was, a I sales job at Vector/Cutco it wasn’t that bad but you have to know people to be successful in this business of selling products. I was new in this country when I apply for this summary job, and I didn’t have any experience in sales. But you didn’t have to have any experience, to do this job because they offer payee training. I just want a job for the summary and I did get on so I was really happy, what I didn’t like was you have to do cold calling, and make appoint with people that you know are didn’t know. And I didn’t know anyone that much, so I didn’t make that much sales and the pay was commission. The grandiosity of this job wasn’t has great has working an YBCA. 

Courts, police say pepper spray 'defensive' only

University of California, Davis

   Police officers involved in pepper spraying seated protesters with arms linked and heads bowed.  At the administrative leave on Sunday. They were sitting down on the ground it wasn’t like they were making any trouble, or anything that were illegal. I don’t think that’s right to pepper spray the students, that’s sitting down on the ground. This was at the UC Davis campus, the students were protesting about college problems, it wasn’t like they were fighting or throwing stuff. Police should use pepper spray on criminals that’s doing bad thing from doing the right thing and not on people that’s doing something for a right cause? The student didn’t deserve to be pepper sprayed for protesting, no one deserves to be pepper sprayed for doing the right thing. 

Police is getting out of hand, and they thing they have all the power in the word. They thing they can treat people like animals, but guess what? We all are humans; I don’t know what the police academy does with the humans that join the army force. So I don’t think they are human anymore that part is gone from them, are they just hide it somewhere. Police should be protecting us, but know they are harming us like the criminals do. Police is the something has criminal, they thing they are different but they are not. They are the something, why? Because they kill people and they both rob people, and take stuff that they shouldn’t be taking in their body. The police do their job for the incentive, mostly everyone do everything for an incentive. But if you want to protect someone why are you going to do the something like the criminals.

My Inspiration

In small and large ways, we are all inspired. We draw our inspiration from people, pictures, art, music, behavior, nature, etc. Consider something that inspires you and write a blog post of 300-350 words about it. Here are some things you may touch on:

• Describe the source of your inspiration- be specific and detailed.
• What feelings or emotions do you experience?
• Are you alone or do you share this inspiration with others? Are you aware of others having an alternate reaction to your source of inspiration?
• Forecast how long you think this inspiration will last- does it inspire you in the moment or something that you will derive inspiration from for the years to come?

My mother inspire me she never gave on anything or anyone, she always have something to give. And if she doesn’t have it she works on it, to give to you so you could have something. She always there to talk to when you need someone to listening to what you have to say. She gave you good advice and any question that you may have, she is also intelligent and I admire her. She is a very strong woman who talks care of her families in the entire situation that need help with. The feelings and emotions that I feel is love, I love my mom for giving me the opportunity in live and never gave up on us like some mothers do with their kids. It’s a wonderful experience to know my mom and have the opportunity to tell her my problems and she telling me hers. It’s a wonderful opportunity to have that chance to do those entire things with your mother. This inspiration will last a long time, and never going to forget what she have done for all of us. She does everything in her power to provide for us whenever she can. She my hero because she never gave up on anyone is anything. She really tries to provide for her family, and make everyone happy and have something to thankful to.  I do share the inspiration with other family members, but I don’t know who. I know that they do think of her that way but I don’t know who is. The mother is the strongest woman I know, she get the road for others and also us. She gives us the opportunity to have a future for our selves, that we could have something in life. She gave me this opportunity to be here today, and am going to work has hard has she did.

There wasn’t anything that I didn’t know about myself, I know myself already so I wasn’t worry about myself again. There won’t anything I didn’t already know, I know I was a hardworking, motivated and proud of any work that I produces. I surprise myself by walking up early every morning to get to Year Up and that surprise me, because I don’t do that often. And now in the weekend am also walking up early without me walking myself up, it’s my body. I’m proud of myself because I get down to business and do all my homework on time and get good grade, that make me really proud. Am not disappointed because I know am doing the best I can for myself, and am doing the best I can.

The Neighborhood I Live In

To what extent does a person’s neighborhood shape who she or he is?
Write a post on your blog- 300-350 words- in which you talk about your surroundings and how this environment has affected you as a person:

·         Briefly describe your neighborhood.

·         Which statement best fits you and why?

·         I am who I am because of the neighborhood I live (d) in.

·         I am who I am despite the neighborhood I live (d) in.

The neighborhood I use to live in was a poor neighborhood, but we were comfortable any way. We take what we can to survive, we were poor but we were happy. The neighborhood that I use to live was safe for me, you could go out and you don't have anything to worry about. We have a big family so we feel safer because we have support if anything went wrong. We were a community that comes together, and wasn’t different from each other.
We create our own soccer and cricket field, to play our sports and have fun with each other. We speak the same language to communicate with each other, no one speak a different language that we can't understand. We understand every word they spoke, and we didn't have to speak in a different language. So that’s why we speak the longuage we understand, our mother tough. 
We aren’t a shame of it because that's how we talk, in broken English. Some of our families were farmers, we grow our own food. Articulator is a big part of country life' sometimes that's how we make our money and to feed our family’s. We have an uncle that owns a small store; he sometimes gave us food when we don't have any. So could say they were supportive, when we didn’t have anything to eat, are when we were in trouble. No one was rich everyone was trying to help them self, to have something that could be there's. We were a poor community that didn't have too much, that makes me want something better than that, because right now I have the opportunity to have it. So I am not going to gIve up until I get it, and have something that I can say it’s mine.

The Poverty Business

  They are exacerbating the opportunity for the low wage people, by giving them credit cards. The company targets the low income people, because they know that they need the money, and they are not making that much money to pay off their credit cards in time. The company’s takes advantage of the opportunity for them because they can’t save their money to move on with there life, because they are in a lot of death. Every penny that they make has to go back to the company’s that lends them the money.

The government on the corporations is responsible for that matter. First the government knows about this issue because they know about the corporation, because they gave them permission to have that business in the first place. So the government is a big part of that action. Second the corporations because they come up with this business, so people like us could borrow money from them, because we don’t have it. They didn’t teach us about it, they just send it to our front door. They take advantage of us, they abuse us, with their credit card, and they hide everything from us. They put us in debt with smiles on their faces, because that’s how they make their money. They know some of us are not going to say no, because we really need that money. In the end we are not going to have that money to pay it back, so we are going to accumulate interest on the money we already owe them.

 We need some resource in place where it is free and available to everyone. This resource is going to teach them about credit card, teach them everything that they need to know about credit cards. This resource should be in very state and very country that has credit cards so people can understand how to spend and be free from debt.

My High School Days. Yeh Mon!

   The thing that interests me in high school, that it was great for the two year I was there. It was my first high school, also it was the best high school that I know of. So I really enjoy the few year’s I was there. The high school that I am talking about called Balboa High School located in San Francisco CA. This high school is wonderful and safe for me. The student and teachers really like me on we get along very well, it was my first time at a high school, so i didn't know what to expect. They were very friendly and it seen like, I was going there for a very long time. The teacher’s were very nice and also very supportive. They mostly have everything there to help you succeeds through out high school, they have tutoring after school, they have computers that you can do your home work on, they have a clean library environment that you can focus one learn. Also that where i met my girlfriend. Bless.

The Way I Talk

I think my culture and where I grew up influenced me in the way I talk today. Being around my peers influenced me also because I am around them twenty-four seven. For example, from the time we are in our mother’s womb we hear her conversations. So, when we are born we recognize her language, and then we start to speak it a couple years later as she raises us and continues that language. In the same way, every day we learn different languages just by being around different people.

            Where I grew up influenced my language today. I spent most of my life living in Jamaica and in that country we speak in broken English form called Patois. Just the way I grew up speaking in my native tongue made me speak the way I do in English. I sometimes put words that I use in my country in some of the everyday language that I speak. If I were born in America then maybe I would speak perfect English, because it would have been my native language.

              I am a young person and today our social language is not as formal as the words that may be spoken by older adults. When we greet each other we usually say words like, “What’s up?” or “ What’s good?” or “What the hek.” These expressions are mostly used by young people and me being a part of this group makes me naturally talk that way.
