Being a parent transformed me in unexpected ways. I found myself wanting to provide for my daughter and later my son the same security and benefits my parents had provided for me. I found a job at University Children’s Center. UCC provides care for children from the ages of 6 weeks to 6 years and I wanted to be close to my children. I worked with all the age groups but found my niche in the infant program. I enjoyed the close bonds I was able to form with both the babies and their families. I took great pride in creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. I took classes to become Infant Nursery Room Supervisor. Once again, I excelled in my studies and enjoyed the learning process. Bringing the information I learned into the classroom was
Employment test after test and still no luck, unless you had three to five yrs. of experience. Needless to say none of my classmates currently work in this field, and there you have it, I was back at square one. So I decided I liked working with children, maybe I will work in a daycare, and obtain a child development degree.

Cheerleading began for me at the age of twelve. In the past I had played soccer, basketball, softball, did ballet. Basically every activity my mom could possibly put me in. All of those activities were okay, but cheerleading became something that was special to me. I first began cheering in middle school for the Hazelwood West Junior Wildcats. I cheered on the team throughout middle school literally dedicating all of my free time to cheerleading. I lived, ate, and dreamed cheer. I went on to continue cheering throughout my high school career, cheering for all Hazelwood West athletics, including: soccer, football, basketball, and wrestling. I was a hardcore dedicated athlete, and I had spirit like no other. From
After two years the house I owned and operated the daycare in began to have issues forcing me to sell the house and close my business. The discussion made me question whether the path I chose was the right one. Unable to decide what I wanted to do next I stumbled into applying for jobs in retail. I had no experience in retail, but was hired as a shift supervisor at a pharmacy because the manager was actually planning to hire a nanny in the future thought I was a good back up plan. As a shift supervisor in one of the largest pharmacies on the North shore that was used as a training store for new managers, I quickly learned different types of management skills and excelled at training employees at all different levels. The patience, calm demeanor and time management skills I used during my time running a daycare
How we are viewed to the outside world plays a part in who we we are as individuals, it becomes apart of our identity. No matter how much we try to deny it, how others view us impact how we view ourselves. To the outside world I am just viewed as a Caucasian female, but in reality I am a Mexican American. Throughout the years I have just started to identify as being Caucasian because that is just what everyone assumes, now my case is mild. It has not deeply affected who I am as a person, but for other people they are not so lucky. Being in America we are shoved in stereotypes, there is no uniqueness you are viewed as either ‘good white folk’, hoodlums, or immigrants. Now imagine being viewed as the latter, your ‘race’ forces you into the tight space of discrimination. You are now identified as being a hoodlum, that always seems to

In 2012 youth ages 15-24 were more than twice as likely to be laid of compared to those older than 25. The monthly layoff rate for youth was 3.5% while the rate for workers 25-54 was 1.3%. Workers 55 plus had a rate of 1.5% (Stats Canada,2013). In todays society youth enter the workforce unprepared, uneducated and unexperienced which leads to these high rates of unemployment and layoffs. Schools are not teaching the valuable lessons and skills youth need to enter the workforce with an advantage not a disadvantage. Although the schools are responsible for teaching the kids it is in fact the government who is responsible for offering more programs and proper programs to schools. By offering more programs designed to educate, prepare and
