Mark Davis P#5 GA 10/18/16 Q1 Sum #the big surprise Imagen if you got to go in a big building with nothing but video games. Dave and Busters. There was one day until my Birth Day. I wanted to go to the best place in the world Dave and Busters. So I asked my dad.
My Senior year was supposed to be a a time to remember but it was not. I got into my first accident. My friend and I wanted to go eat after school. We all meet up in the parking lot. We decided to go to Chick fil a. Chick-fil-A was a long way from our school so we car pooled.

Many Americans associate ethnic foods with those that are available at local grocery store chains and Americanized ethnic restaurants. The most visible ethnic foods in grocery stores are Asian and Mexican foods. Common food items such as refried beans, soy sauce, tortillas, sesame seed oil, water chestnuts, and salsa limit Americans perspective of cultural foods and ingredients. A visit to a Latino grocery store was an eye-opening experience for me. Supermercado El Rancho stocks common foods that I am familiar with and many that I did not know even existed.
“black experience” by appropriating the pain of hundreds of years of vicious anti-black sentiment in the United States. While she can partake in à la carte blackness, and she surely does to some degree, her desire to be victimized for being black signifies that Dolezal craves the complexities and pains of blackness – she does not want to cast them aside. In fact, it is in Dolezal’s best interests to adopt all aspects of blackness, beyond only appearance. Victimization is only one facet; she also attended a historically black university, essentially passing herself off as a black woman to the college in her portfolio and application, worked as a professor of Africana Studies at Eastern Washington University, and, as previously mentioned, was head of the NAACP chapter of Spokane.
I will give a little back story. I took over a store, at a new retailer, three weeks before Black Friday; the highest sales day of the year.

The parking lot at Walmart was accessible. We went in the morning around 10:00 AM, so it wasn’t too busy with people. There were several handicap parking spots, lots of space for walking, and a pretty big cross walk. Once inside, the lightening is bright, and building is large. It’s a Supercenter, so it’s not limited to grocery items.
As a person goes through life he or she may wonder “Who am I?” and “What is my purpose?” The objective of this paper is to allow me to reflect and critically analyze who I am as a person.

The article “Labouring the Walmart Way,” author Deenu Parmar talks about how Walmart is able to achieve selling goods at a lower price then any average superstore. The author goes on to explain that Walmart’s antiunion efforts, employee selection, low prices and high retention rate all contribute to their major success. Walmart’s stance on ant unionism allows them to keep wage cost down and keep all their profits up. Not allowing a union keeps Walmart with the power to keep low wages and force unpaid overtime.
Motivation, perception and team work are all vital aspects of a functioning group no matter how big or small. Without these contributions, we cannot achieve the goals. Not only did I learn more about how it is to work in groups, but I also learned something about myself. In the end, the experiences I had, both with the group and individually, was worth it. It prepared me not only in college, but in my future career as well.
