in this blog post I will be telling you about my experience as a dual enrollment student. Dual enrollment is when you are in 12th grade at a high school and you have the chance to take a collage class at a college to be able to get a head start on furthering your education. I currently go to Ridley High School, I take three classes there in the after noon 10:00 am to 2:34 pm. My three classes are painting, clay, and financial fitness. These classes are really fun and somewhat easy to understand ans take. I finished all my mandatory classes in 10th grade because I wanted to have a simple easy last year in high school. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I go to Delaware county community college to take an English class instead of taking my last English at my high school. I had to sign up for the class when I was in 11th grade. I'm happy that I took this class at the college instead of my school because I was planning on going to dccc for two years after high school before transferring to different college. This English class has been one of the best English classes I have ever taken. In high school they make you read mandatory boring books and do long tests and projects on them and in the end it didn't help your writing. In my college class we didn't have to read any long boring books, we actually got to work on papers that were interesting and held the classes attention span. I much preferred doing dual enrollment than taking any other English classes my high school had to offer. In the spring semester I am also going to be taking the second part of the English class at the college, this will hopefully put me ahead of the game so I could get all the mandatory classes out of the way so i could transfer to West Chester University faster.

In this blog post I will be talking about my grandmother. My grandmothers name
is Ann Marie, she is one of the sweetest and understanding people out there. Ever since I was little she has been one of my best friends, ever chance I get I go over to her house an watch out favorite tv shows, Steve Harvey. My mommom was the person who taught me how to cook and how to call in to a job after I applied to I would have a greater chance of getting the job. Whenever I have something to rant about or anything I just want to get off my chest she is there ready to listen to me and give me support or advice. She's the one that helps me with my school work and makes sure i'm on all my deadlines. I wanted to write this blog just to explain how much she means to me and that she makes me a better person. In this blog post i'm going to be talking about my first ever job and ranting. I
currently work at pet-smart, I work in the grooming salon as a bather so I bath the dogs and cut their nails and everything else except cutting the dogs hair. this is the first job i've ever had, i'm not use to working and they started me out with 20 hours a week, which i think is way too much because everyone else my age that works there only has five to ten hours a week. with all these hour I have no time to do anything else because I leave school and go straight to work so i have no time to see my friends or work on any school work, so now i am behind in all my classes and I keep asking them to cut my hour but they ended up giving me an extra hour, I don't know why they thought that was a good idea. Then in November I was sick three different times with the stomach bug and called out sick because I didn't want to go in while throwing up and when I called the manager said it was fine and told me that all he wanted was for me to get better, Then this morning a whole month later he calls me, waking me up to just yell at me because he said I took too many sick days and he accused me of not wanting my job. Even though I came in on my days off to make up the hours I lost. I don't even get that many days off so coming in on those days was very annoying to me because I never get a break. That's all I have to rant about. |
