Diaries of a Theme Park Employee
The second job I ever had was working for a theme park in the photos department. And while there were good times, there were also moments where I just wanted to melt behind the counter from embarrassment or even just frustration. I remember my first angry and aggressive guest. He was approximately 35 years old and had his wife with him. Working for the photos department required us to know the policies of the department and the park. If a person does anything inappropriate, the photo gets censored. So being the newly trained employee I was, I checked the photo like I was supposed to do. From what I saw, the guy had shot the middle finger at the camera (a censorable offense). Then I waited until I saw the gentleman, who was with his wife and asked him politely and courteously not to do it again. He said that he didn't do it but that's what almost everyone says when they get caught. So I explained to him that I have photographic evidence that he did it when I should have just apologized and said: "Yes, sir."

Saying Goodbye
It was over two years ago, I'd walked into the living room where my father who rarely showed signs of distress looked almost unrecognizable in his sadness.

My 10 Year High School Reunion
This past weekend, I attended my (dreaded) high school reunion. The weeks and months leading up to the event were the worst I've ever experienced. I will not disclose all reasons at this time, as they are ongoing, but what I can say is that this past year has been the most emotionally draining, traumatic, and eye-opening year I've gone through.

Surviving University
As someone currently in her final year of University and trying to juggle a long distance relationship, family halfway across the country, a social life, and writing the most important piece of literature of her life so far whilst completing other assignments, I can say without a shadow of a doubt... it's the hardest thing I have ever had to do.

Post Grad: What the Real World Looks like After Graduating
College graduation is an exciting time. For the past 12+ years we have been working towards receiving a higher education, a degree that can make our families proud, but also allow us to achieve a dream job. As we graduate from college, we embark on a new chapter, a new journey where we begin to understand the reality of being an adult and having to now learn to take on responsibilities such as paying your own rent, etc. I grew up with friends who had to work at an early age to support themselves, to friends who were dependent on financial aid and student loans, and to friend whose parents helped along the way. I was fortunate to have my parents help me when it came to financial support, but I also had the help of financial aid and student loans. As I began to live in an apartment that is where I realized how much it takes to live on your own and why it's important to save money when it comes to paying bills.

Where I Came From
Since the age of 14, I had been a runaway and lived most of my life on the streets. I was a prostitute since then because I was too young to get a job. When I turned 19 is when I was introduced to drugs and then the habit took over.

The Importance of Taking Care of Your Employees’ Psychological Health
We all wish for happiness and the feeling of well-being without anything that can make us suffer. However, in today’s busy world that we live in, the stress and the problems are making a lot of people to get serious mental diseases such as depression, anxiety, or Alzheimer which tear their lives apart and can only be solved by following a specific treatment recommended by a specialist using natural treatments such as using Fulvic acid or more traditional treatments depending on how serious is the issue. Maintaining a mental health should be one of our top priorities when it comes to keeping out the drama that would stop us from enjoying our lives. As a business owner, you should be aware of the importance of taking good care of your employees’ psychological health in order to contribute to the productivity of your business.

Being Diagnosed in College
During my first semester of college, I was in a wheelchair most of the fall. During the spring semester after that fall, I was put in the hospital and almost lost my life to a blood clot. Last fall, I found out that my kidneys were lower functioning than a normal 20 year old. It's been over a year since I nearly died, and I haven't had a break from bad health since. Now, I finally know what's been wrong with me all along. Over this last summer, I was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, or SLE for short. I was tired all the time, I couldn't even drag myself to my afternoon classes sometimes, and I totally blew off my morning classes. I needed sleep. I couldn't function without it. I couldn't even walk straight or keep myself upright without 10 or more hours of sleep. College, as most people know, is not known for the healthy sleeping habits of students. UTI's were a monthly occurrence, and infections were almost unbearable for me and my body. I was constantly tired, my seizure disorder started to flare up and I ended up getting a service dog to help me function in my daily life and to alert me of seizures, so I could be safe on campus.
