In Marci Alboher’s opinion piece, “Is job stress worthwhile?” from CNN, the author tells of a survey she took on what job was the most stressful and the arguments people posed against the results of this survey. The survey stated that high risk jobs, such as firefighters, military, and policemen, were the most stressful and that being a teacher or professor was the least stressful.

Hilary Rosen vs. Ann Romney

There is a game politics like to play with one another, twisting eachother's words and sentences, facial expressions and gestures to work against their opponent. This past week, political powerhouses Hilary Rosen and Ann Romney did a little more than clash, when Rosen, a Democratic Strategist, made a truthful, but apparently "two-faced" comment towards Ann Romney. Wednesday night (4/11) on CNN Rosen was asked about the supposed "war on women" (a term she doesn't approve of), and how most women in today's voting polls are showing interest and worry in the economy above anything else.

Trayvon and Down These Mean Streets

I am reading “Down These Mean Streets” By Piri Thomas. On Page 103 he writes: “I opened my mouth to answer and Louie and I knew what was shakin’ at the same f...’ time. The difference between me and Louie was he was white.” While reading I noticed that Piri had been dealing with racism a lot in his life lately. He left Long Island because even though his skin was not colored, people still called him out because of his name, referring to him as a “Negro”.

Doctor's salaries

Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been the salaries of doctors. I remember my parents talking about it when discussing their own incomes (my dad's a psychiatrist), but I wasn't able to learn much because my parents only gave vague numbers to me. Lately, the issue has caught my eye again. I know that many people feel that doctors make a lot of money. From what I have heard, I always believed that they would make around $100,000.

Looking Into the Future (2/27 post)

This past weekend I had the opportunity to shadow a Pediatrician up at the University of Utah hospital in the Maternal Newborn wing. I had set up this meeting for my economics class in which we were instructed to shadow someone in a career you were interested in. I have always been fascinated with medicine and I thought being a pediatrician would be a great job in the Medical Field. I learned so much about what "A day in the life of a Pediatrician" was about. I mostly did rounds on patients, but I did get to sit in on a procedure which was really cool!

        When I was younger I had a grandmother that I felt was the closest person to me.  We were really close to each other.  I would visit her and my grandfather every holiday, and summer time.  Year after year until she died in 2006, and slowly after that I stoped going to Pennsylvannia, so my grandfather moved in with me, my mom and my sister.  A year after my grandmother pasted away, my grandfather was very sick and had to go to the hospital.  He was there for a long time.  I am just so happy that I got to spend time with both of them before they got really sick.  I will always remember the good times we had and how we enjoyed each others company.

I took this picture one day when I was at a New Years event. My cousin and I were walking around and selling tickets to people (so they could win a prize later on in the evening). Once we finished selling the tickets, we gave the money to the host of the event. While he and his crew were counting up the money I found an opportunity to take my camera and take a picture of a small portion of it.

This diagram relates back to my question "Will I be successful in my life?". This is because it shows the readers what success is in my point of view. Using the terms that I believe are related to sucess, it will be easier for the people that want to answer my question to be able to. It also leaves room for people to disagree about what sucess is; they can give their own point of view.
