Entry #4 - Child Care Worker

Image
     Today I thought I would write about work. I know I know everyone talks about work because most American citizens' lives are filled with working minimum wage jobs, but I work at a daycare and I feel like working at a daycare is something that is not commonly talked about. Right now I am a current full-time student and full-time employee at Tutor Time. Thankfully, I am managing both my job and passing all of my classes at this current moment, but it is definitely not easy let me tell you that. Many people say that working with kids is the most stressful job ever and I agree with that because it is very exhausting, it requires a lot of patience, and dealing with complaints from parents is the worst. Even though working with kids can be extremely stressful, I can safely say from experience that it is also an amazing experience.         Ever since I was 13 years old I have been working with kids. I would help my mom babysit kids that she would wat...

Entry #3- An Icy-Cold Experience

Image
    Have you ever had something with garlic for dinner or something so strong that it made your breath stink? You have to do something about it right? One day after work I went straight home to change and eat something before I went to class. After I changed I went downstairs and saw that garlic butter chicken was ready for dinner. I brushed my teeth afterward but my breath still smelt like the garlic chicken and I did not like it. I remembered that I had something in my backpack that could help with that.      I grabbed the little thing out of my backpack and removed the wrapper. When I tore it open there were rippling sounds caused by the pops and clicks by creases in the packaging material. It felt like plastic like how the paper feels wrapped around a plastic water bottle. I felt the little pointy ripples on both sides of the wrapper that made it easy for me to tear open. Once I tore it open I felt a small circular object that was hard like a jolly rancher. ...

Entry #2 - The Mortal Instruments

Image
            Hello, my fellow Lexi's Corner fandom, good morning or afternoon! Today I thought I would talk about the book series that I have been reading, The Mortal Instruments. Let me start by giving you a little background information.   The main character Clary Fray searches for her missing mother which leads her into an alternate New York called the Downworld, filled with mysterious faeries, hard-partying warlocks, vampires, an army of werewolves, and the demons who want to destroy it all. She also finds herself juggling two boys- her best friend, Simon, for whom she's developing new feelings, and the mysterious Shadowhunter, Jace. She joins the secret world of the Shadowhunters and as she does, she discovers that rescuing her mother might mean jeopardizing everything the Shadowhunters work for.            Not only does the novel have a very interesting plot, but it also contains a very important theme. The ...

Entry #1- The Purpose of Blogs

Image
     One form of writing includes writing blogs, just like this one. I love writing blogs because I feel like I can talk about whatever I want. There are times when I can write in a casual manner when talking about personal topics, and times when I can write in a professional manner when talking about serious topics. I did some research and read multiple blogs to get a feeling of how people write blogs and what they do to make their's unique.      On People.com, there is a blog posted on their about Kim Kardashian and her fashion sense. She arrived at the Met Gala in N.Y.C. wearing a leather ensemble from head-to-toe. One thing that I like about this blog is that it is short and gets straight to the point. The point that the author made was that Kim has always been bold with her style, and has even outdone herself once again. What I don't like about this blog is that it kind of has a bad connotation towards Kim's fashion sense, it makes her seem crazy for w...
