Blue ribbon

staff of Kroger certainly had an “us versus them” mentality, one that, consequentially, extended to the floor staff. The manager himself was infamous for being generally unpleasant to be around, and thus, the employees had hardly anything to do with him. But, his edicts gradually passed through the hierarchy of Kroger, with the orders eventually being relayed to the grunts, such as myself. His decisions, such as having a meagre four-six baggers at even the busiest times of the week, dropped the ratings of his already poorly-rated store. He held a deep desire to pass inspections that arrived monthly, a test in which his Kroger had never passed since the conception of the store. His lust is comparable to that of the Governor’s to win the Blue Ribbon Prize Cup for Long Distance Cross Country Running (1208). The baggers are then split up amongst the various equally-understaffed departments of the store, all while being paid minimum wage and egregious hours for students, who were regarded with the utmost disdain. Perhaps some of my colleagues purposefully cleaned the store (a job in which was not officially entailed to baggers) inadequately to protect against creating happiness for our boss. While this hardly equates to standing up to armed police in protest, being a group of high schools in stable America, it was quite the undertaking. Certainly the peak of the protests, as well as the final act of rebellion, occurred during the opening weeks of senior year. The managerial…

The Pink Ribbon campaign first originated in 1992 and from there has grown into a widespread international movement. The overall focus and goal of the campaign is to generate and increase awareness, to provide the public with information, and to raise money for research. The reason that I chose to reflect on this particular topic, is because after having read the article Moving Beyond the Ribbon by Jill Moffett, I became interested in the infamous pink ribbon and wanted to further my knowledge…

sorry Paige. I 'm here if you need anything, love you.” That text alone was enough to send me over the edge. I grabbed my blanket and immediately began sobbing into it before I could even type out a thank-you reply to Taylor. Thirty seconds later, I felt two arms tightly wrapped around me in a full embrace. I looked up to see Taylor, and laid my head on her chest while she hugged me as I cried and cried. Newton is about a 45 minute drive, and Taylor sat like that, completely holding me while I…

As we finished eating we would sit quietly on the living room floor, staring at the glamourous Christmas tree that sparkled in blue and white lights. The tree was rich in bright colors that was over shadow by the monstrous pile of boxes wrapped in colors and shinny glittery paper with lush curls of ribbons streaming down to the floor. I sat quietly but in the inside it could not hide the quivering of excitement. No matter my efforts a lost grin would always escape my face giving off how excited…

Without African music we would not have some of the most popular genres of music that we have today. African music influence helped create genres like jazz, gospel, blues, soul and even hip hop and reggae. The traditional song and dance created by native Africans spread all over the world as its fusion with other type of song helped create the music we all know and love today.
