On vacations, we usually go to places we’ve never been, eat food that we’ve never tasted, and do things we’ve never tried. Well, here’s one of my trips that made me try out a new sport. A sport that wasn’t very common and known to most people nowadays. It was in the late summer of 2011, when my Dad got back from his work.

While growing up, I moved frequently due to my mother's job or situation. It has always been scary not knowing when or where I will move next. The most frightening factor is moving to a new school.

It hasn't always been easy but the Migrant Program has really helped. During the summer or winter vacations, I recall the migrant program offering programs to participate

I began my scouting experience in the Cub scouts, joining Pack 1305 of Canonsburg Pa. While being active in cub scouts (attending most of the meetings and participating in outings), I played several sports; basketball, lacrosse, and football As a Cub Scout, I earned the Arrow of Light award, and I crossed over into Troop 1373 with my best friends.

Introduction Last year, on a summer afternoon, my two younger brothers were playing together in our living room and found a glass Christmas ornament lying on the floor. Someone must have missed it when we were packing the Christmas decorations away. Unwisely, my brothers started playing a game of catch with the ornament, tossing it to each other. Inevitably, one of them missed a catch, and the ornament shattered on our kitchen floor. I was working on homework in the kitchen, but I thought that the

During his summer vacation, he worked for an automobile factory as a riveter; he also did soldering, spot-welding, and worked a lathe. This, in my opinion, may be the first influence of his artwork (especially the Cubi pieces, being he used material requiring that type of work). Next, Smith attended Notre Dame University and took

absenteeism is, “if a chronically absent employee exceeds the standard, then vacation, holiday, and sickness/accident pay would be cut by 10% during the next six months (Strayer University syllabus, P.8). If worker absence continues to exceed the allowable limits, then vacation, holiday, and sickness pay would be cut during the next six months by the actual percentage of absent days incurred by the chronic absentee”.

individual contributes to the bottom line. Empowering them to excel in their role, no matter how large or small, creates a sense of ownership that will lead to meeting and exceeding expectations. Don’t let them become bored. I get bored easily, so I assume my employees also have a short attention span.
