Hire or Not Hire

I think they should look at the background, what if they don't change at all. So I'm a little ehh on it but, you really can judge a book by it's cover. Like covering up for a friend, instead of the friend putting in jail the guy who's in jail don't need to be in it, or someone comes in at the right place at the wrong time and gets blamed for something he or she didn't do. Those are ok to hire, but if they done something really bad then no. They do not need to be hire, it's for everyone safety to not hire someone who has a bad criminal record. Like I said, it they were to put on blame or covering up as a friend. They might be ok to hire however, need to keep close eye on them, in case if something were to happen.

Week2 Returning Veteran

As watching the movie American snipper it touched me when seeing the main character shooting the mother then her child. It would be tough to shoot a child, if anyone returns home from the war would stick that to them. Of course he or she well have to face the law coming home.


The main character I think almost cried when he thought this little kid kicked up an RPG, but the kid notice it was to heavy and runs away. Anyone doesn't want to shoot a kid, however to save soldiers they might have to. It's sad really.

As getting close to the end of the movie he wanted to come home, he went to the bar of his hometown. He was thinking, thinking of the people he killed and the child he killed in the beginning.

Any solider returning home might have that state in mind that their being under attack, it'll hunt them until the day they die. Like when the dog was playing with the kid during their families bbq, he thought the dog was hurting the kid. In his mind instantly went to combat mood. as he snapped out of it, he notice he wasn't at war anymore.

I think that can be helped but it won't vanish, it'll stay with them. Anything can triggers their combat mood, in a work field some of them can be ok working with some tools. When some Veteran have it worse than others may not work with any type of tools, who knows they might think your the enemy which your not and might hurt someone.

Good job vs Bad jobs

The worse job I had was working at Ross Dress For Less and Sabbors, Ross was my first job when I was 18 years old.  Nora who was my boss at the time never EVER given me complements on how I was doing. After she left a new supervisor took her place and given me complements, shortly after that they laid me off! Why I have no clue, for what I understand they are not allowed to give me that kind of information. At Sabbors I thought the employees was nice, but for some reason my boss Warner attitude towards me changes. Then the new boss came in and cutting my hours. Once I call to check in on what day I need to come in he said I don’t work there anymore, I’m not sure if my mother trying to make me feel better and said Warner wants me back. I just do not like bad boss who treats good employees like crap and the bad ones like they’re a “good worker”

The best job I have

Right now I’m taking care of my grandmother that my mother and two of my aunts couldn’t during the nights and their work days, I may not know a lot of Portuguese but I know some to get me by, if not I always use Google translator. I love spending time with my grandmother; I know she loves spending time with me. Not to long ago when my cousin Rosa came into town, she told me if I can go home I can. I looked over my grandmother and asked her do you want me to leave or stay. My grandmother looks around and gently grabs me by the arms and replied, “Stay here.” I nod and smiles that make me feel good because out of the 7 grandchildren I’m the only one who’s helping her the most. I enjoy this job more.

My Vioce

                                             Working on a dress I feel more excited to work more patterns, coming in third place makes me feel I can do better. Although I am happy I came in third place because, I know people love my work and it makes me want to become a better designer. That drive gave me more motivation to work more on the patterns, although I didn’t like working with the fabric I was using. It moves around while sowing a lot, but it was an amazing experience to work with such fabric. I did made the dress a bit shorter than the pattern because I accidentally cut the bottom skirt while attaching the rest of the dress; I got some help to help me manage the accident I’ve made. Overall I enjoy making dressing and bags, I’ve already gotten 4 people who wanted a tote bag and 2 people who wanted the dress. To me that says a lot since I’m a newbie at these things, I wanted to start something since I already know how to make a tote bag and the dress. I wanted to make something on YouTube showing people how to make them, even when the dress was uncompleted I have a hard time looking websites and YouTube but, no one has that certain pattern. I was getting frustrated, luckily had some help along the way of making my dress. After the dress was final finished I went to downtown to present my dress, I was excited and yet nervous. Nervous because I thought my dress needs more work, hours have past as I waited to see who’s the winner is. As they announce the winner I was happy yeah, I’m not a sour loser. My mind wonder off wondering who came second and third, my luck someone left a piece of paper that has the amount of tickets we each gotten and by the looks of it I cam in third place. I got really excited and couldn’t wait to tell my family, friends, and my fiancé. As the place was about to close, I pack up the manikin and called over my fiancé. We walked to my mother’s Van and stuffed the manikin in the Van along with the dress, I told my fiancé I got in third place he was very happy and proud of me! Once we got home I told my mother, then my father. The words he said to me was very shocking, anytime my siblings and I did anything we wanted he makes fun of us. What he said to me that day has brought a smile to my face. “Good, I’m proud of you!” I never thought my father would say something like that, I even show the video to my grandmother and my aunt, they thought I did a good job making the dress.  I even posted up on YouTube, sadly not a lot of views. I’m ok with that. This is the best opportunity I can do something more, I can reach my goal. I wanted to have my own store and have a website, making that dress I know I can do it, I know I can reach my goal, although it’ll take some time I know I can’t do it right now. I have to work for it and take baby steps at a time.
