This I believe


On this I believe podcast a lady talks about how she recently lost her husband and after she came from the funeral and found his shirt in the shed and it brought back so many memories. She remembered how he picked the last of the green beans and took the kids to pick apples and he had to remove it from a hots day labor. He had a heart condition that could be controlled by medicine and he would be able to live to be an old man. It was the last time she saw him lay on the grass and take in the fresh air as he was rested from a hard day. She contiune smelled he shirt to remind her of his scent and one her got as got out the trampled his shirt causing the smell to disappear. She heard from one of her friends they she loved her husband and it made her think that when there has to be a time when you love him past tense  that hurt her and left her stunned. She believes that as long as she is here and the memory of lasts she still has present love she believes that love is stronger that death. In a way I believe that to when my grandfather died it was a very hard death for me  I remember some much of him and I still to day love him.  So many things bring back memories and and that happy days we had and that peace that he lived a good life.

Career Day at Parkway West


We had career day at Parkway and different people came to our class room to explain their jobs and each person had different fields they worked in. The first person to come was Ms. Singleton she was an attorney at a law firm and she explained her background on how she got there. She graduated from Overbrook high school and continues in higher education at Hanuman University and majored in Nursing for 2 yrs but didn't like that field so she moved on to go Rucker university and was ba graduate. She later went to law school for 3yrs and pursued her career in law she became an attorney and she works a lot in mediation. The next person that came in was a commercial banker and he talked about his field and how the banks charges interest and there fees and how his jobs works. The last person that came in was Mr. Hanible he owns his own tax business he started it in 1992 and has it 20 year anniversary. He dropped out of 11th grade to take care of his nephews and as he got older one of the people he knows from his church had gotten his taxes done and he wanted him to check it to make sure that he was cheated out of his money. So after that he liked helping him out so he started a little side business during the tax season to help people but he had gotten hired by a Delaware group he didn’t want them to fire him from the job for having another job. He later was hired at vanguard and was getting paid close 10 85,000 dollars he worked there for awhile then he wanted to finally start that business adding a printing shop for non tax season. I think this was a good experience for us we got a lot of information on unique fields and insight on things we could do in the future.
