...In the course of working my way through school, I have taken many jobs I would rather forget. I have spent nine hours a day lifting heavy automobile and truck batteries off the end of an assembly belt. I have risked the loss of eyes and fingers working a punch press in a textile factory. I have served as a ward aide in a mental hospital, helping care for brain-damaged men who would break into violent fits at unexpected moments. But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant. The work was physically hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were dismal. First supporting paragraph First of all, the job made enormous demands on my strength and energy. For ten hours a night, I took cartons that rolled down a metal track and stacked them onto wooden skids in a tractor-trailer. Each carton contained twelve heavy cans or bottles of apple juice. A carton shot down the track about every fifteen seconds. I once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night. When a truck was almost filled, I or my partner had to drag fourteen bulky wooden skids into the empty trailer nearby and then set up added sections of the heavy metal track so that we could start routing cartons to the back of the empty van. While one of us did that, the other performed the stacking work of two men. Second supporting paragraph I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor...

...state. From birth we are showed the principles of appreciation by imitating our parents thru their sympathy towards us. As we grow up we develop skills that help us learn how to be good listeners, have feeling and show compassion for another human being. Undivided attention is one of the key of showing empathetic to a person. We always tend to interrupt to get our point across. Listening is not a talent that is easy to develop. Hearing is when you listen but you are thinking about something else, and listening is something you choose to do, while at the same time you are analyzing what the person is saying. It is recognizing not only what is said but how it was said. While listening is a big factor, sharing the person affection is part of it as well. Fear, anger and happiness are some of the emotions we uncover when we portray empathy. It’s very difficult to relate with them at the time you are having a situation being explain to yourself. You have to gain experience thru the years to know how to express them. Most of the persons can relate to them because they have gone thru similar circumstance and they feel more comfortable expressing it.

The ability of the band and individuals to work together greatly is what the survival of this culture depends on. In the Btsisi culture, their kinship has the roles divided between men and women, but not nearly as strict as other societies such as foraging societies. Women traditonally care for the home, finances, and children, while the men handle things such as heavy lifting and business that is not in the village.

The preparation starts in June the summer before the season. There are many different camps that the players need to attend if they want to get any playing time. These camps have vigorous lifting and running to try and work off the summer weight that most kids gain during high school. Many of the players are out of shape and this is the start of getting back into football shape. It is not mandatory to come to these different camps, but if a player wants to succeed and be a part of the team and get to play, it is expected to show up and put a face with a name. This is also a time when the relationships begin to build. Teammates begin to get comfortable with each other and get a grasp on what kind of player the other will be and they lay a foundation for that brotherhood that is going to become very strong the next 6 months and will stay with them for the rest of their lives. After the camps end in June, the month of July is a time for staying in shape and lifting a lot. Many of the times the leaders of the team will call workouts and lead the workouts because the coaches have restrictions for coaching in the summertime.

As I was trying to put my boots back on I struggled because I couldn’t bend. Once I had the whole suit together I realized lifting my arms up was super difficult and my arms felt super heavy. I tried to do a squat to test my limits and it was the trickiest thing to do in that suit. I was hunched over and could barely bend my knees. It was a real struggle. When I put on the ear plugs I could barely hear people talking to me. I would have to ask them to repeat themselves and to speak up louder. Then I put the glasses on and was completely surprised to see how murky and cloudy everything looked. I couldn’t tell who...

...A continuous dusting of snow coats my umbrella and the ground around me. Its eerie beauty puts me in a bit of a daze, leading me to stick my hand out from under my safety and let my hand caress the white flakes. A soft smile tugs at the corner of my lips and urges a chuckle to slip from my grasp. “Hurry up! We’re going to be late!” Sherry’s excited face can be seen not too far from me, her hand outstretched in the air, waving at me. I quickly brush the snow onto my clothes and run to catch up with her. Before I can reach my friend, a crash sounds before my ears start to ring, drowning out every other noise that follows. Quick thoughts flash through my head. That building is falling… why can’t I run? Realization hits me; it’s already too late....
