task 8

After serving her country, female veteran struggles to find a job


            Kenya Smith was a lieutenant and medical service corps officer. She served the armed forces in the navy for 14 years and left with 2 masters’ degrees and a lot of managerial experience, she even did HR. She is now homeless with two teenage kids struggling to find a job for 2 years. Only 2 places gave her an interview one was Macys and she was over Qualified for the job. Ms. Smith claims that her faith will get her through it and she won’t quit trying. I don’t think this event will change much but I do think that she will find a job. I also think that she should just be able to walk in anywhere and get a job with her qualifications and her service experience should be enough alone especially for Macys, Over qualified that’s just stupid if some one is over qualified for a job that you have and they want why would you not had it over to improve your business.

task 10

            I start off as a bunch of different solid chemicals, once we are together and heated up I turn to molten glass. Once I’m molten I am kept in the furnace where its really hot around about 2000 f. I am now a workable temperature; this is the point where the glass blower will use the blow pipe which is a hollow iron shaft that allows them to blow air inside me, to swirl around in the molten glass in order to collect me on the end of the blow pipe.once air is blown in and end of the blow pipe is covered by his hand The extreme temperature will cause the air to expand and make bubble out of my elastic skin. The glass blower then rolls me around on a marver which is a thick table of steel but in the old days would have been a marble table. Rolling me around allows the glass blower to manipulate my shape only to stop here and there to re heat me in another furnace slightly cooler then the one I came from initially. The glass blower will also use color rods and other colors of glass to make my pattern and color. Once I’ve reached the desired shape and color pattern I am then put into the third furnace called the annealer where I cool slowly in order not to crack from temperature stress. I can cool for a few hours to a few days depending on my thickness and size. Once I am taken out of the last furnace I am examined heavily and sent to where ever I was sold to.

task 4

            I’m not in a field of expertise so I don’t know who I could write about. I’m unemployed and do nothing but do chores for my dad. I will probably fail this post but hopefully not my class. I am also not seeing how I could put in a link. Skylar gave me an idea about writing on some one in the automotive industry cause i know cars. I'm going to do Henry Ford. Henry Ford was born on July 30th 1863 and he looked like a little girl as kid. At sixteen he moved to Detroit to be a machinist apprentice. He founded the ford motor company in the year 1903. In the beginning his plant only made a few cars a day. 1910 brought along a new era with the assembly line. Fords most popular vehical was the model t.

task 3

I don’t like blogging because I’m very introverted and don’t like sharing with people, but I do like the fact that if it was random people reading the blog its not like it would really matter. I also do like the ability to customize the blog with ease and with many different specs.  My biggest problem I experienced on blogger was making my account initially.  My first account I lost forgot my password so I made a new one, but the post creation is easy to use and understand which is a plus. Traditional writing classes I usually don’t do very well in because I don’t like to write and I’m not very good at it. Intern I think this writing class is better cause I get to type it all, I can listen to my music which has always helped me, I don’t have to do most of my corrections, and I could make money if I tried to.


            I just kind of live in my own little world and I don’t spend much time paying attention on what is happening with any sports or music and stuff like it in the world. Video games are about the only thing I keep current on and it’s not very well. Elder scrolls V Skyrim is about the only up coming thing with video games I am staying current on at the moment. The game developing company named Bethesda is the creator of the Elder Scrolls series, which is one of the best RPG series of all time and Skyrim is the latest. Skyrim has a huge open world map and some great new upgrades to the combat system and its control setup. I am confident that Skyrim will be a game changer in the RPG world.

task 2

            I didn’t have a very exciting weekend by all means. I am grounded and can’t leave my house and for the most part I just did work at my house. Most of my Sunday was spent stripping and cleaning scrap aluminum to take to a scrap yard to make some cash. I’m actually going to drop the aluminum after school today. My friend Rich and I also did some work on the s10 in the garage but didn’t get very far on it. Besides the work I basically just watched TV and did nothing this weekend worth mention especially in my blog. I guess I can count this as part of my weekend though because I wasn’t in school Thursday and Friday for my grandpa’s funeral. On Thursday we went to his service in a little church in the town Jordan where he lived. Jordan is about an hour south of Hastings where I live. Friday we went up to the national cemetery at Fort Snelling to have his funeral and the honor guard did the 21 gun salute.

task 1

I connect to the world in many different ways using the interweb. Facebook is one of the main ways, talking with friends, adding new people, and playing some competitive apps. I like to use youtube a lot as well and that’s nothing but seeing the world through other peoples eyes in most videos. Granted there is a lot of music on youtube but jenna marbles has what I would call is a video blog where she just talks about random subjects each week.
I’m not really sure what direction I would want to take with my blog at all. I wouldn’t know how to choose that it seems a little too artistic for me. Choosing a direction I guess would just happen for me in some random way. It would most likely just happen on its own, I’m not even one-hundred percent sure what the direction really is. The direction I would think is either just the theme of the blog or the theme of the writing.
