Thanksgiving

I have no plans at all for thanksgiving other than spending time with my family. I love my family and I would spend all day with them if I could. I will probably cook something and just hang out with my friends and family.

Jobs:

I found a job at Panera Bread. At Panera for teenagers that are at least 16 years of age will work as Bakery cafe associate. This job consists of dish washing, cashier, and line worker. To prepare for this job you would have to first apply either online or go into the cafe and speak with someone. Then, you would have to take a series of test to see where you stand and if you are the type of person they need. To be able to get a job anywhere you need to know how to work with people, learn fast, adjust to change, and know how to deal with stress.

I think this job is appropriate for our age group because for one they have flexible schedule hours. They are open from 5am-9pm. A lot of us that are juniors now will be able to get early release next year so we could easily get at least 5-6 hours each day. This job opportunity is great. Getting a job around our age is very good because it helps us realize how hard it will be to get our own money and live on our own. It opens our eyes to reality. I think that as juniors we should constantly look for job opportunities. We will learn so much.

The movie was very good. I enjoyed it a lot and I learned something from it. The movie was very depressing but I did like it. My favorite part was when she decided to get here life together and go to school. She put so much effort and dedication she was able to go to Harvard with a full ride scholarship  from the New York Times. This was my favorite part because it shows me what I am capable of doing. If she could finish high school in 2 years then I can do a lot more. With all that she want through she could have just easily gave up and ended the same way her parents did but she didn't, she got her life together. She worked 100 times more than her parents did and she is very successful now. I think if I ever had to go through something like that I don't know if I could come back like she did. I feel like I would be very weak but, if would put my mind and heart to it I could do something with my life.
