According to the guest, ticket was rung up incorrectly as she stated that she only wanted the basic admission ticket. Two tickets were purchased from the Guinness museum. The total for 2 tickets was $40. So when purchasing 2 basic admission Ripley’s tickets, the museum alone should be $40 as well. Employee gave a myriad of ticket options but did not offer a guidebook to the guest. When paying for the tickets, the total would have trigger our guest something was rung up incorrectly. In the report, she stated “the buildings were well mark with big signs, bright colors, and loud music”. At the time of the transaction, music was playing in the background. It could have been a distraction to the guest at the time when closing the transaction. The…

I had enough money saved up to pay for a lawyer to fight and win against those greedy bastards trying to stop my father’s disability and had even won some compensation for them causing me pain and suffering and for my attorney’s fees. I took that check and gave it directly to the hospital. My father was still in bad shape, and it was going to be a long hard journey, but on the mend. The people at the hospital were kind enough to transport him to my graduation at no cost. I knew once I start working at the Trystan’s Corporation, I would be able to pay for his care. Once again, just as everything was looking to go my way, it had changed once again.…
We see animals every day. They are our pets, companions, and, to some, family. They are also our dinner, new jacket or bag, and the pain behind our household products. So when does it qualify as cruel, or even inhumane? What is animal cruelty? According to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) “Intentional cruelty, or abuse, is knowingly depriving an animal of food, water, socialization, or veterinary care. Maliciously torturing, maiming, or killing an animal.” Three major examples of animal cruelty today are found in the food industry, shelters, and testing facilities.…
Imagine constantly being asked “Why can’t you just pull yourself together?” Being told “You have nothing to be depressed about, you have so much going for you!”, “But you don’t SEEM depressed, you were just laughing an hour ago!” For those struggling with many of life’s abundant obstacles, suicide seems like the ideal compromise for the self-destruction and agony to end. I believe that suicide is not the answer because I’ve overcome it myself. I’ve had to learn in the most difficult of ways that suicide is exceedingly traumatic for the friends and family members. 90 percent of people who have taken their own life have a diagnosable mental disorder. There are countless alternatives for people who struggle with these disorders, long before suicide is even being contemplated.…
I... regressed. Knees folded up and back pressed into a four walled corner as my screen flashed: call returned to sender. I lost the battle to my doubts and let my brain leak out. Like deflated air in a defeated balloon it was screaming and I couldn't let you hear so I shut the door, knowing damn well you didn't have a key but can you call me?…
* #5 Adrenaline Rush: As a law enforcement officer you’ll probably saves someone’s life every day you come to work. An officer may have to make a life or death discussion in a split second. They could also save someone from potential harm when they issue traffic tickets or responding to domestic violence calls. This would be an extreme rush for me since officers are in a high risk job at all times. I understand the risk and wiliness to put myself out there for others and having only a spilt second to react. This is very similar to my position as quarterback on the football field, which I have enjoyed since I younger, and have handled it well. In this position you are a leader and a role model for community. Which I believe will transition over to me becoming an officer.…
I’m about to tell you an amazing story. . . . When I was a little girl, about six years old, I was playing on a play structure. I fell off the bars onto the ground and my tooth fell out! It was the happiest—then again, saddest—time ever. I was laughing because I was waiting and waiting for it to come out, but I was crying because it hurt.…
The United States has a history of discrimination and that has greatly influenced many parts of our country. Even after the Civil War racial inequality was still a way especially in the confederate South for a hundred years. Discrimination greatly affected minorities in all aspects of their life. A minority was any person who was not a white male. It mainly affected their education and job opportunities and say they had in the government. However in 1964, the United States passed civil rights laws. It was called the Civil Rights Act. The act banned discrimination based on a person's color, sex, national origin, and race. It mainly protected the rights of African Americans and other minorities. The Civil Rights Act said minorities have the right to vote, use hotels, restaurants, movies, parks, and any other public place. The law also said that public schools had to be desegregated. Also funds from programs the promoted segregation were taken away. The act also included the prohibition of job discrimination and the creation of the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission. The equal employments opportunities commission was a great step in ending discrimination. What it did were ban employers from discriminating against someone for any reason. Even though the Civil Rights Act was put into place a problem still remained. This problem was minorities lacked skill and proper education to do jobs which would put them on the same playing field as whites. So President Kennedy came up with Affirmative Action.…
My decision to enter a Community College and to attend classes for the first time can be difficult or easy depending to my motivation. I opt to attend this community college of Denver. My choice is based on four aspects: advantages, location, cost and quality of education. I think the community college of Denver’s location is in a good place for me that will help me to go to school. I love to see all the interesting things around the campus, the campus is big with two others campus: Metro state university and Denver university, exciting and full of life.

The teachers explain everything I ask and make me understand better. In addition, I saw them being organized, they planned what happens in every class. They also encourage and help me and others students to understand the courses. Almost every class I have homework, some quizzes online to exercise myself to perform better. All my three teachers have each special qualities that I appreciate, they give me strength and love for my classes that why I never miss my classes, I think I will get my goal. I like all my three teachers. Let me talk a little about the reading, writing centers, I find people really servable, helpful, comfort, when I get there I have to write my name first on the list, I always be welcome there when my turn come I see somebody introduce me to a Tutor, a Tutor will greet me gently and give me a seat and he or she will ask me what concern I have then I can explain all my concerns, I really see myself being help. I appreciate them and I encourage them…
There is no universally accepted definition of art. Although commonly used to describe something of beauty, or a skill which produces an aesthetic result, there is no clear line in principle between (say) a unique piece of handmade sculpture, and a mass-produced but visually attractive item. We might say that art requires thought - some kind of creative impulse - but this raises more questions: for example, how much thought is required? If someone flings paint at a canvas, hoping by this action to create a work of art, does the result automatically constitute art?…
Sometimes being different is not a bad thing. From a very young age I was labeled “different” I started reading before the start of kindergarten, I would rather read then play outside and I actually liked homework. I did not mind being “different”. I never thought being smart would be such a bad thing. In school I always tested high I was above average they said, so in fifth grade they placed me in T.A.G., the Talented and Gifted program. What should have been such a great thing in my life turned out to be a bad experience, just because I did not want to be different for the first time in my life.…
Being born in a very small and boring city, Angel Quiles didn’t think it was really all that fun. There were times that he just stayed home all day doing nothing but watch television, play video games, or practice his instruments. It wasn’t until he was eleven, when he had to move to Florida so that he could be closer to his father. He was raised to be a Catholic, but all of that changed when his Father took him to his Pentecostal church one Sunday morning. He couldn’t help but notice so many people crying, shaking, and running around the whole church like it was a playground. Also, while the service was happening, there were so many people swaying their hands from side to side, shouting out “Glory to God” and “My soul worships you Jesus.” He wasn’t used to that. He thought to himself “these people are crazy,” because in Catholic churches they recite verses from the bible, sing quietly, and sit down the whole entire service. There were a lot of times when he thought to himself “this isn’t a church, because these people are acting like it’s a carnival or an amusement park.”…
When I was a kid, I was living in West Roxbury small town near Boston, Massachusetts. I had many events happen in life, some good and some not so good but in the end it was a learning experience and part of my history. At the age of 7, I was sent to another country to live with my grandmother in South America. I had to leave my family due to medical reasons that my mother was going through. Many things were hard, but taking that experience has made me realize that good things can come out of what was then a bad experience in the beginning. Trying to adapt to a new school, new friends, new environment, new family in the sense that I didn’t have my parents with me, wasn’t what I was used to but what did I know about that I was only 7 years old although if my memory serves me well, it was somewhat hard but not impossible to adapt to. Change is not an easy thing to adapt to especially if life has been a routine; it’s a cycle of experiences that with every step we go in life.…
