For my job shadowing experience‚ I went to the Henry Ford museum. I wasn’t around any of my fellow students‚ but there were other people there. The experience was mostly directed towards a group‚ and explaining a majority of the jobs that you could have there from guest services to security. It wasn’t really personalized or narrowed down‚ so you got a lot of exposure in just eight hours. The people who were overseeing this mass job shadow‚ Jim and Tim were pretty lively. It was pretty clear that

Bad Experience It wasn’t my day. Only on the way to the town did I realize that my road tax had expired. Now I had to change my original plan and instead go to renew my road tax. It certainly would be embarrassing to be stopped by a policeman. The registration office was far off. When I got there‚ the parking space was filled up. I spotted one parking lot. Hurrah‚ I thought. Only as I edged in to park did I realize why others had avoided it. It was really tricky parking there and I had to use

With my drivers’ license I could pick up my friends without my parents around‚ making the friend experience a whole lot better. I could go on dates without the embarrassment of my parents driving me.

Grief is something that you cannot truly understand until you experience it. As a kid‚ I heard about grief in class‚ but was unable to comprehend that feeling. I heard about the grief my mother fought through when her mom died but was unable to understand how she felt. I would think about my parents one day dying and cry. Until this past June‚ I never grasped the concept of grief. Let me rewind a bit before the event of late June. My grandparents had flown out to Seattle to watch my cousin perform
