Having two older sisters who didn’t make it through high school and is living from paycheck to paycheck and job to job is a struggling experience to witness. Without a college degree, you’re at the bottom of the hire list and the top of the fire list. My sister landed an amazing job at a daycare facility in a low income area. She was so thrilled because this was the first job in 4 years that she wasn’t making minimum wage. She quit her two fast food jobs and immediately started at the daycare. After about 3 months, she was laid off. They had just recently hired a lady with a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and although you can’t fire someone because another person better applied for the job, they simply said it was evaluation related. She came home crying because she had to find another job fast. She doesn’t have any credit cards, savings accounts, or even extra “pocket” money from getting paid. After that dispiriting week, she said seriously, “Aliyah, don’t follow in my footsteps. Be the best you can. Not just for you but for your future.” A role model can come with many different stories and…
The film I chose to review for this assignment was the romantic and inspiring comedy, “The Other Sister”. This film portrays a young woman with a mild mental disability. Although the exact diagnosis of the protagonist, Carla Tate is never revealed throughout the film, she is very high functioning. Carla lived with her two parents Radley and Elizabeth Tate (who were also the main characters throughout the film). Radley (the father) and Elizabeth (the mother) had two completely different approaches with raising Carla, which is very significant throughout the film because if it were not for Radley, Carla would not accomplish the goals she wanted to complete in her life. Carla’s mother, Elizabeth was very uptight when it came to raising Carla. She did not want her to be taken out of her “special” school and did not want her to live in her own apartment. On the other hand, Carla’s father, Radley supported Carla’s independence and determination.…

Later during the film we learn that he agreed to take the case not for the notoriety, but because he is epileptic and he knows what is to not having his own body control. Sara gets furious, she can not understand Anna’s decision and why she does not want to save her sister.…
I was saved from sin when I was going on thirteen. But not really saved. It happened like this. There was a big revival at my Auntie Reed's church. Every night for weeks there had been much preaching, singing, praying, and shouting, and some very hardened sinners had been brought to Christ, and the membership of the church had grown by leaps and bounds. Then just before the revival ended, they held a special meeting for children, "to bring the young lambs to the fold." My aunt spoke of it for days ahead. That night I was escorted to the front row and placed on the mourners' bench with all the other young sinners, who had not yet been brought to Jesus.…
My mom owns a home daycare and I assist in the day-to-day activities of the daycare whenever I can. A change I have seen in the daycare is my mom needs a constant assistant to help her with the children. She currently has 6 children, 3 infants and 3 toddlers. 6 children is a lot of work and most of the time the workload is overwhelming. My mom always mentions on how she would love to have more quality time with the children and the ability to actually do learning activities with them. She does the learning activates, but is unable to do them properly because of the workload.…
She works a full-time job in the fixed-income market trading bonds to investors and companies. Month by month she preserves through the uncertain world of the financial market on her commission salary. She puts extreme effort into the job because she needs to call around the offices to find clients that want to invest, show bonds that they may be interested to invest into, and finalize a trade in the main office in Milwaukee. But still I believe that her being able to handle both a full-time job and kids best showed her hard work…
Although movies are entertaining and maintain the viewers’ interest, they are known for changing the original plot, lacking in character development and not demonstrating the theme of “understanding others” to the fullest. This movie in particular, has a completely different ending, lacks almost any sort of insight into the characters’ thoughts and lives and does not show enough compassion between the characters. The book, entitled, My Sister’s Keeper by author Jodi Picoult, does a better job of developing these three aspects than the movie “My Sister’s Keeper” by director Nick Cassavetes does, based on the comprehension of the text and the observation of the film.…
off, after 5 long months of fear & uncertainty of what her life was going to be like, she finally found a job in a retail store, working at minimum wage and getting paid under the table, meaning that she could only accrue in cash. This was just a stepping-stone that will lead her to reaching her dream. For the first two years of working on the retail store, she worked extensively amount of hours during the day, approximately 10 to 12 hours, about 6 days a week and sometime even 7 days. In the midst of those years, she assisted my parents with bills at home and she saved enough money to commence college. Luckily, Miami-Dade County allowed immigrants to go to a community college, so with this grand opportunity she took initiative & attended Miami…
A personal favorite of mine, the book My Sister’s Keeper, was beautifully crafted to tug at the heartstrings of the reader. The author, Jodi Picoult, writes about a family, or more specifically a young girl (Kate), battling cancer. The protagonist Anna Fitzgerald, is only thirteen years old during the main conflict described in the book. She is posed with a harrowing decision. She has two options: Firstly, to willingly donate her kidney to her ill sister or, to fight the claim that her sister is entitled to her kidney. The author describes Anna’s life tragically. She was born in a test tube for one sole purpose; to anatomically gift her sister with healthy tissue etc. Eventually the task becomes too much. Anna ultimately comes to the…
“the thing about flame is that it’s insidious - it sneaks, it licks, it looks over its shoulder and laughs. . . Like a sunset eating everything in its path”…
In the movie that we watch called my “Sister’s Keeper” we are introduced to a family who have two children and both very young age, when the little girl is diagnose with a type of cancer.

As the years go on the little girl needs more and more from her sister and does not seem to stay in remission very long.
