Getting angry can be a good thing .
in 1980 Cecilia Munoz was 17 . she says this is when she first discovered her outrage of anger. it all started when her and her family were at dinner talking about wars going on in central america and the involvement of the united states. a good friend said someday the U.S. might go to war somewhere in Latin America. he says he believes that if this happens he believes her parents belong n an internment camp just like the Japanese-American during world war II. Cecilia always considered herself and her family an american family. she and friends always were doubted whether they belong in their country. her fuel of anger led her to start the propellant of her life, she got into the civil rights movement where she has worked since. her outrage actually helped her find jobs. she found them in the immigrant rights movement. in washington she worked as an advocate. in some cases her anger would sometimes not benefit her in a good way. she said that of she helped 50 immigrant families in a day, there were faces of 5 not qualifying and that would haunt her at night. i think the fact that cecilia had anger inside and cared about what he man said helped her. sometimes its better to let out anger because the more you hold i could hurt you inside. expressing feeling in my opinion is the right thing to do, and you should feel better after you do it. cecilia is a person that can use her anger in a way that a lot of people can understand.

Career Day
On Thursday May 3, 2012 we had career day at our school. there was an Attorney, tax business person, and a commercial banker. they all talked about how they got their job, and adding on the major parts of their career. the attorney was a women that goes by the name of Ms. singleton, she talked about how her job is to help people in criminal situation. in 11th grade she realized that she wanted to be a lawyer. doing her best not to give them the worst consequence possible. she talked about the different situations she was in, saying if they were easy or complicated to handle. the tax business person talked about how he owns his own tax business. he created his tax business 20 years ago, so 1992 would be the year he started. Mr Heigler is the commercial banker, he is the one who lone's people money. people like him give money to smaller business. they business that was given the money has to then pay them back, this is how commercial bankers get paid. if the smaller business doesn't pay them back, they take what ever they exchanged in collateral. all the people that came here to our school all interested me, they did because first off these are jobs that i really didn't care for or wanted to know about. the attorney caught my eye because she had stories that explained what kid of work she did everyday. her job is not easy at all. she has to make they right decision. the tax business person caught my eye because he accomplished something, and didn't even finish high school. the commercial banker caught my eye because there is not a lot of work to really do at his job. he goes to work on his time, he makes his own hours.
