UnEmployed NOMORE??

Summer of my junior year, I went job searching and I did some volunteer work. Although, the volunteering didn't last long I still thought it was a terrible experience. You come when you want and leave when you want, that doesn't prepare me for the "working" world. Most people who's workng right now, money is their motivation that'll give them the boost to work for eight hours. Well, no let me scratch that, my motivation would be the money. If i'm complaining about six hours of school, how would someone like me survive eight hours working without motivation?If my motivation is money why would I work somewhere for free? taking off some of the load for people who are getting paid there? Not me, I am the last person that'll make a job easier for someone getting paid, for free. I even took classes at JobLink to help build my resume, so that i'll appeal to employers even more. I can say that it worked, since i've had one interview and I have one to go to on Christmas Eve. Although, i've been to volunter only a couple of times and haven't been back since I decided i'm not working for free anymore. I have a goal to achieve and working for free isn't the way i'm going to achieve it. Will UnEmployed be unemployed anymore? I won't know until I go to my interview on the twenty-fourth of december. Hopefully not, since the determination is there, the motivation is there, as long as the monies there, there's nothing to worry about.

My Favorite Meal

My favorite meal consists of three parts, the main course, drink, and dessert. It takes only a hour and a half to prepare and only fifteen minutes to place on a plate and the table. It filled the house with the smell of freshly baked poultry and a succulent sauce. The texture of the succulent sauce is smooth, and melts in your mouth. My dessert contains a delectable type of chocolate, and sugar. The desert might not be suitable to have three or more servings of it. My last and most important part of the meal is my beverage, there's no exact way I can explain the beverage of my chioce, it has a smooth texture, without the after taste, and it has a sugary sweet silk sheet that caresses my tongue with each sip. Although it is sold in different colors, I am only talking about the original of my beverage.

Hip Hop Music blinding?

Are we as young people blinded by hip hop music? I believe that if we listened to acapella lyrics of some of the songs,  we would be apalled at the stereotypical net that is said about black people. We could all acheive the same things as these rappers such as: the money, the houses, the cars, and the fame. If we stopped trying to live the lyrics of a hot beat and a dance then we can finally walk with our pants pulled up and skirts at an acceptable length to become CEOs, Presidents, Actors/Actresses,  and Celebrities. I'm a listener of hip hop music but I don't want to put in the category as a ghetto student that attends a prominently black school. I might've followed behind the others that were the stereotype but I choose to keep myself around successors and people that don't talk that much. I'd rather be lame with success in my future than be known living the lifestyle of a drug dealer, thief, and fast food worker. So I believe that we are blinded by the hip hop hits and dances.

My Wishlist

If I had three wishes they would be to be able to speak four foreign languages fluently, to have long hair, and my last would be that my eyes change colors to my mood swings (like a mood ring). Although they are pretty aren't prestigious wishes, I have no specific order in which these wishes could be placed. If I had to choose the order they would go in order by the most profit.

1. Ability to speak four foreign languages fluently

I would wish to speak four fluent languages, because then i'd be able  to take on the occupation as a government translator. I would be making a little over 72,000 a yr. if I were government translator. If I had to pick the foreign languages they would be Spanish, Korean, Dutch, and Russian. In movies the bad guys are of a different ethnicity and spesak a foreign language and those are the most common used in movies.



2. Mood Eyes

 I would want eyes that change colors as my mood changes because they are rare. They have the car paint that change colors depending upon how the sun hits it. I would use the wish and get a profit by making a scientific research and make contacts that do the same thing using my own sight. The research organization could be worth millions in profits and so would my eyes.

3. Long hair

I would wish for long hair because my hair isn't as long as I want it to be. I could be warm in the cold and cool in the heat. It could be used for shade in the heat, and a insulation chamber for my head anf face in the winter. It could be passed down in my genes and the next generation of my family will reinvent the image I have of my Native American ancestors.

Amber Alert

Amber Alert, an independent horror/thriller film that was first aired November 02, 2012. It's wrapped around these three people, who are documenting themselves for a reality show contest. They do these humorously stupid things, but they embarked on an adventure that could possibly end their lives. These group of friends decide to follow a amber alert car description. In the indecisive hours that have passed they embark on a journey that tests their friendship, love for each other, and survival.

Holiday Spiritals

The only things I enjoy from the holidays, are the holidays breaks from and spending time with my family. I love being around my family during the holidays because of their holiday spirit, well just my mom and aunts. My family tend to go through the funniest drama during the holidays, since we don't have to go to school or go to work (or have a job for that matter). During this part of the season, the tension builds and relationship either make or break during the holidays. Which in my opinion is funny, because there's no such thing as a normal day or normal dinner with my family. If my family is happy then i'm happy. If my mother is laughing, then so is  the rest of my family. The mood of my family is what either improves or affects my holiday spirit.

Job Searching

I am currently a member of six internet job listing websites and yet I still don't have a job. I got asked in for an interview once and got turned down because I wasn't eighteen, I was told that I wasn't right for the job my second interview where they were supposed to tell me my work schedule. Times are tough, but President Obama is bringing in jobs and I have yet to obtain one. I might need to look at the way I answer the questions in the questionnaire, that could be what's destroying my chances, but then again it could be that i've been at the same high school for four years and have yet to participate in any extracurricular activites other than my praise dancing for my church. I tried going to a joblink center to get help with getting a job and took job oppurtunities for the youth listing there, but I don't have a job. A boy in my third block has a job and he's not even capable of completing a classwork assignment in a GROUP! But he has a job at the mall, I don't unerstand what's wrong with my credentials or my resume that makes me look bad enough to not even achieve a interview. I went from looking at grocery stores to retail to fast food and yet I still get turned down. Am I upset? H#LL YES! Am I trying hard enough? H#LL YES! Will I decide to keep trying or give up on finding a job? I WILL KEEP TRYING.

Positively Technology

Education

  Instead of going to you school or local library for a research paper, you can search it on the intenet. Nowadays school libraries aren't as updated as they should be, so the internet is a better resource since its updated 24/7. Things such as digital encyclopedias, online books for summer reading, class notes, homework, and your grade updates. Technology has changed the way students learn in a classroom.
 
   There's educational games that you can download to improve your child's thinking and learning process. These educational games are even homework given by teachers to help students that need extra practice with a certain objective. Even as a high school student I was given an educational game site to improve my grade in a certain class that I almost failed.
 
   When schools in different parts of the state, country or world connect, students can meet their counterparts by video conferencing without leaving the classrom. Students can even learn a new language by getting a group of students and pairing them with a teacher from another country.
 
   In the past, students could take distance or continuing education classes, also called "correspondence courses," at community colleges and universities. After enrolling in a course of this style, a student would receive course documents in the mail and would be required to mail assignments to his teacher at the educational institution. The process could be long and complicated. Thanks to technology, continuing education students can take courses over the Internet at their convenience.
 
William McCoy, Demand Media, wrote an article on the postive effects of technology and noticed that not every school has the resources and budget to send its students on field trips related to the course of study. When this is the case, the students' education can suffer. But thanks to technology, students can use the Internet to virtually attend Web seminars put on by museums and other educational institutions. NASA, for instance, offers a program that allows students to talk to astronauts in space.

Social Media Exposure

Amber Cole

A teenage female was exposed giving oral sex to a teen boy behind a school while being recorded and was posted on Twitter, World Star Hip Hop, and YouTube. Amber was recorded giving oral sex to him in a secluded spot at Northeast High School. Friend of the Teen boy that was recieving oral sex, was recording the act. She protested the fact that she was unaware of the other boy recording her. Her family had posted a video on YouTube asking people to leave Amber alone that it was foul for people to judge his sister when millions of people do it. But what the brother forgot to mention waas the fact that even though people do it, she got recorded in PUBLIC. If she was going to do the act why not pick a place thats not so out in the open? The act happened late September 2010, but was still talked about early 2011.

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge & Kate Middleton

Prince William, got photographed naked and also thought to be doing drugs, in a hotel room in Vegas with a friend and two other females. TMZ posted the picture and criticized the Prince for the horrendous but humorous act during their TV show. News 2, also conversed about the act and Yahoo!, along with other news media on the internet. Prince William who never actually gave a statement on the act, avoided the public for a month or so, since he disgraced his family with his decisions. The pictures were posted August 22, 2012, and the stories of what actually happend in the hotel room were told August 23, 2012. His wife, Kate Middleton, wasn't affected by the story and rumors of her husband but had a "dress malfunction" of her own in a villa topless. Her photographs were posted September 1, 2012. She was posted naked in TMZ, Weekly World News, and E!. Although TMZ exposed her, they fought for her, they said that she was in the privacy of her home and the photographer that posted the picture were trespassing in her space and happened to catch her in her glory. These stories apparently failed to affect the happily married couple.


Anthony Weiner

New York State Democratic Representative Anthony Weiner was considered to be a highly successful politician, having been the youngest person ever to win a New York City Councilman seat at the age of 27, and then going on to win and hold the seat of New York’s 9th congressional district for seven years running. Unfortunately, despite his excellent work with underprivileged, at-risk kids and public housing, his career ended in a matter of minutes when he sent a link to a sexualy suggestive photo of himself to a woman on Twitter. Although he denied sending the photo, claiming that his Twitter account had been hacked, eventually it came out that he had been exchanging explicit photos and messages with the woman for over three years. He resigned from congress on June 21, 2011, less than a month after the picture that brought him down was posted online.

Larry Johnson

Although most social media scandals that have ruined public figures have occurred in political circles, other kinds of public figures have blown up their careers in a matter of minutes online as well. Although sex scandals tend not to affect the careers of Hollywood stars, recording artists, and sports stars the way they do politicians, homophobia or racism is a total career killer. Consider Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson, whose promising NFL career ended largely because of gay slurs posted in a Twitter argument with a fan. Though he went on to play for the Redskins, they didn’t keep him for long; most people agree that the Twitter gaffe had more to do with his release than poor play.
