A Speech On The Dark Side

I have never had a formal job where I went to work everyday and got paid for it; my closest experience has been community service and an unpaid internship. My first community service experience where I didn't go with a school, but was something I signed up for myself was at my mother’s job. At the time she worked for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) where she helped with cases of wrongful termination due to discrimination in the workplace. My job for the day was to help put case files into envelops so they could be served to the company being sued for discrimination. The task seemed easy but once my mom’s boss began to explain it to me there was more to it than I thought. Yes it was just putting papers into an envelop but

One of the first jobs I ever got when I was younger was being a cashier at a Save- a Lot grocery store. I was 15 years old and I absolutely loved that job.

Of course, I’m sure you have heard of “Ring around the Rosie”, but did you know it may be inspired by the cause of more than 20 million Europeans? This pandemic was called Yersinia Petsis, but more commonly called “Black Death” because of the dark patches and swellings on the skin of its host. This disaster came from trade with other countries, but once transmitted to America it spread by rodents and fleas. The Black Death may have been spread by seemingly harmless creatures, but it caused death in about three days.

The article from the FTR documents that stood out to me the most was an excerpt of a speech by Robert H. Clancy, a Republican congressman from Detroit with a large immigrant constituency, in which he defended the “Americanism” of Jewish, Italian, and Polish immigrants and attacked the quota provisions of the bill as racially discriminatory and “un-American.” This speech was made after the WWI economic recession associated with labor unrest and in response to the Immigration Act of 1924. The Immigration Act was a United States federal law that limited the annual number of immigrants who could be admitted from any country to 2% of the number of people from that country who were already living in the United States in 1890, down from the 3% cap set by the Immigration Restriction Act of 1921, according to the Census of 1890. The law was primarily aimed at further restricting immigration of Southern Europeans and Eastern Europeans, but illustrated how white Americans reject anyone who doesn’t fit their ideal white educated mold.

I know I can't, I know that those days are behind me, I recognize now, my life will never be the same, I know I’ll never be able to see my friends again, and I know that my dad understands what I'm going through and that he's desperately trying to get me to even snicker with his stereotypical “dad” jokes and puns, and I know that I'm just taking it out on him and reminding him of the inevitable. I could tell Dad was depressed because he just couldn’t cheer me

It was only a seasonal job, so they weren't too picky with their hiring and within a month I was hired and put to training. Training was fun, it was I working like everybody but somewhat supervised. After the training I'll be honest, I hated working there. I couldn't stand having to put clothes away for four hours and barely being able to talk to anybody besides a passerby customer who would politely brush me off every time I asked the required, "Do you need any help with anything? No? Okay, let me know!" It got old real quick. I missed the constant interaction I got with the kids I used to

I volunteered at the VFW on Monday nights. This was my very first waitressing job. My Experience was awesome because, it was the busy Monday night 1.00 burger. I had the chance to work with my mom, Bob(the owner), and Nicole(the bartender). They all helped me when I needed it the most. they helped me begin to trust people a little more. The job wasn't bad at all. I thought it would be hard because, I shy kinda at first but then I start to come around. The money counting was easy it's just basic math and there was a computer system they used to it was so ease to run. It was an all around great experience I meet a lot of people and had a lot of fun volunteering.

You:  Soon after I graduated from high school I went to work at a convenient store that was open 24 hours and 7 days a week.  I was a night clerk that worked from 11PM to 7AM for over a year. I also worked the 2nd shift from 3PM to 11PM for almost a year until they promoted me to a shift supervisor.  I enjoyed the 3rd shift more than the 2nd shift, but I can handle either one.  It will be much easier for me to work the 3rd shift now since I just finished my business degree at

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the most divisive Star Wars of all time. At the moment, it is the worst reviewed Star Wars movie among audiences EVER. If you had a dime for every time I’ve said “I am not a Star Wars fan” you could buy a house in California. But I said that this time to point out a key problem in Disney’s Star Wars which is why I’m not focusing on characters like Luke and Solo which older fans know and love. I’m going to focus on the new generation of Star Wars Characters and how they have been failed by the brass of Disney.

Running through the crunching leaves down the streets on cabbage night was my favorite past time. For those of you who are unaware of this tradition it’s also known as Devil’s night or Mischief night. It’s when kids run around the neighborhood causing nonsense mischief the night before Halloween. I remember waking up every Halloween excited to look outside and see toilet paper hanging from trees and shaving cream all over the paved streets. Unfortunately, late October in 2012 Hurricane Sandy hit my hometown. Cabbage night was canceled along with Halloween. Growing up in a small suburban Northern, NJ town called River Vale, Halloween was the best holiday.

Currently so far being employed at the cafeteria. I work through the morning shift every weekday till friday an sometimes weekends. I mostly start my mornings by waking up at 5:30 everyday to get to work by 6:15 to 7:50. Then I have about 10mins to get to my classes, but in the end having to wake up early and sometimes going to school half asleep. Its been well worth it. I'm really glad to have my job and make some money while doing school at the same time. An just being able to work along side my fellow peers and co-workers has been a real experience. That has allowed me to understand in a way how serving food in the food industry is like and as well as having good leadership skills. All in all working at the Crampton Cafeteria has been a

Since my last reflection I have worked 9 at Old Navy. I have continued to work on registers mostly however, at one point, my manger asked me to cover fitting rooms for someone's 15 minute break. I was excited that I could try a new job. I had to develop new skills to undertake this new challenge of working the fitting rooms. One of my co-workers showed me the ropes. The job basically consisted of telling people which dressing room to go in, unlocking the door with a key, placing a marker on the door, and taking back the clothes that the costumers don't want and folding them. I enjoyed this job a lot actually and I hope my manger will put me in fitting rooms for a whole shift one day.

My choice to join with the rebels came when my only son died in a car accident. It was heart shattering to know is was my own countrys’ stubbornness that caused it. For years what we call The Dark Rebellion has been causing mass destruction. Everything started when new policies for immigration and lethal injection were being implemented. Many people disagreed with the government's new systems and demanded they change them. Although this was not the first time people had stated there distaste for new systems it was the first time anyone had done anything about it. Which in turn caused the government to try and force citizens to obey. People did not take kindly to being forced into such thing so they fought back.

Good morning Dr. Spring, to answer your question I would like to start off by analyzing the verbiage on the Universal studios poster “10,000 Indians roar into battle,” from this already media of the time in my opinion tell me how fierce they are and animalistic as if referring to a hungry lion. Then the second statement “death-defying race of an ammunition wagon through a horde of red devils,” first off the sentence alone is racist using the term ‘red devils’. Then there is the use of horde as if they were a swarm of mosquitoes invading. Lastly the last sentence the “fiendish torture den of ruthless Geronimo,” this poster seems to speak to me as if this where a horror film. Completely inaccurate image of Apache in the west. All Apache in

In my previous position, I was a Multi-Channel Sales Associate at Best Buy. The job required me to assist customers in the store and over the phones. Though my store was always very busy because of the location, during the holiday season the traffic of customers could get was very hectic in both areas. Some of my responsibilities over the phone were to research product prices, features, availability in other stores, set up deliveries, conduct sales as well as manage and resolve customer disputes. In the store, I performed cashier duties, assisted with the completion of credit card applications, verified inventory, and maintained an organized work space. Holiday hours started at four in the morning and sometimes twelve-hour shifts were mandatory.
