Some customers engulf the entire waiting area. The hostess was dressed in a luminous white collar shirt and in somber black pants. She is nervous and feels quickly overpowered by the persistent demands of the customers. That hostess was me. I was the new host at an Outback Steakhouse. I was still in training and I couldn't keep up with the…

In many restaurants today numerous people can see that there are more waitresses instead of waiters. “In other words, waiting on tables is defined as typical ‘women’s work’ because women perform it and because the work activities are considered ‘feminine’” (Hall, 329).

Being a soldier with multiple combat tours I have seen in some cases the worst humanity can offer. During my last combat tour my experiences helped myself define the direction I wanted to take, both in the military and eventually when I transition back into the civilian world. I made the decision about month six of my tour that I wanted to stay in the Army, but above all that I should return to my roots as a professional computer nerd. In 2009 I was running my own Information Technology Company…

At some point in everyone’s life, someone or something stands out to them in a way that nothing else does. It could be an individual or an event that stands out to them in a positive or even a negative way. For me however, it was a person named Master Sergeant James Sherrod. I encountered MSgt Sherrod at work and he impacted me in a way that would shape my whole future and military career. I didn’t know it at the time, but he was a blessing in my life, especially when I didn’t want to believe it…

All of the Army recruiters were more than happy to take me in after I told them my story.
