What do you consider to be your most important accomplishments on the job since your last review?

Surely he’s noticed you by now. Your eyes on his bag. Surely he knows that you saw it. And you’re trapped with him on this bus until one of you gets off. The hopelessness of this situation is overwhelming, you can’t escape, you can’t get out, you can’t

As I was growing up I never thought about going to college, I came to the United States unaware of what an S.O.L, the SAT, honors, AP and DE classes were. I didn’t know anything about this. There was only one college I knew and that was James Madison University because it was everywhere in the city. When I was a freshman, history was my favorite subject it was just so fun to learn about the history of each country. When it was parent conference day my teacher told my mom that since i’m so good in history I can take World History History 2 honors. I didn’t know what an honors class was at that time but it sounded good so I decided to give it a try. I can’t explain why I choose Avid because actually I got into this class without knowing what Avid was, but I’m glad I applied and had been with this class

For my In-Depth Interview paper, I chose to Interview my co-worker Senada Cufurovic whom I work with at Bank of the West.

2. Tell me about a time when someone made an unreasonable request of you. How did you react, and what happened?

Samere interviewed with Detective Walton. Samere attends Reeceville elementary school. Samere discussed different activities he enjoyed doing at school like gym and recess.

My experiment consisted of me asking strangers, on the streets of Downtown Grand Rapids, for directions to Rosa Park’s Circle, and invading their personal space. To start, I would approach a stranger; tell them that I am lost, and that I am in need of directions to the Rosa Park’s Circle. As strangers began giving directions to me, I inched closer and closer to them. In addition to invading their personal space, I also held intense eye contact with them, trying my best not to blink. The whole time, although it was difficult, I kept a straight face while I performed my experiment. To make sure that I gathered enough information, and a variety of results, I tested my

We went outside of the building to hail a cab to take us to the show. Fortunately, a cab arrived fairly quickly. After we entered the cab I looked outside my window for a while, I couldn't get myself to turn and look at him. My legs were twitching with nervousness. I felt him slowly move closer. He gave me this sort of bizarre yet lovely stare, than put his hand on my chin and pulled me towards him. I quickly gave his hand a light slap and pulled my head back, hitting the back of the seat.
