“You’ve got to milk the cow when it’s ready to be milked.” That was the wisest advice and, the coldest advice I’ve ever received in my life. I just turned twenty-one and just had a child and I was not aware that me and my son were about to be introduced to the shrewd, cold business of incarceration and its terrible effects on our lives as well as the lives of many other Californians. Little did I know that at the same time a bigger and more promising company was making their entry into…

In 1982, Vera Bradley was founded with an idea of two neighbors, a work space of a ping pong table, and $500! The founders were disappointed while traveling that baggage was no longer beautiful and they started their own brand. The company was named after founder, Barbara Bradley Baekgaard’s mother, Vera Bradley. Vera worked for the company as a sales person until she passed in the early 1990s. The stores still celebrate her birthday each year (“About Vera Bradley”)! Vera Bradley is…

Imagine shopping in a mall, and there is a woman standing confused right in front of the bathroom signs that clearly indicates men and women. What is the confusion? You asked yourself. Well, this woman was biologically born as a man; but, she has the desire to use the ladies washroom. With so much contemplation, and fearing the repercussions, she took the step of fate into the ladies washroom. These are just some of the issues transgender individuals are facing today. What is transgender you…

two breadwinners and four dependent children testified that “At the end of the week, I still don’t have enough money to put food on the table or clothes on kids’ back, buy them shoes or school supplies,” (Maxie- Collins , 3). This woman working at Macy’s for $8.25 says that if it wasn’t for government assistance (EBT Food stamps) She couldn’t put food on the table every night. So what happens to the families with the short end of the stick, that don’t always get chosen for government assistance?…

Why Have I Chosen This Topic I have chosen this topic because the hardest part about going on vacation is choosing where I want to go. There are so many vacation spots in the United States, so it can be hard to pick the right one. I hope that after I do this paper, I will know exactly where to visit on my next vacation. I could save my family time and money by doing research. In the future, it could become my go-to spot. I can also share my results with my family and friends. What I Already…

For the Love of COFFEE! Business is all around us. When we go to the store we make transactions, when a business is going strong they are making profit, when a business it just being created it’s called a start-up. Business is not only a part of a lifestyle to other’s it is their life. It gives entrepreneurs a way to express themselves through their ideas. A way to see what they’ve created through their hard work to see what they’re worth. An entrepreneur is a person who takes the risk of…

The muggy evening Texas air brushes my dress as I coolly stood up at an intersection near College Vista. A couple of pedestrians oftentimes surveyed me suspiciously, I was fine with that until this one dude invited me to come with him due to the fact that he thought I was a street prostitute. But all is good, thanks to Abby’s trusty Taser Gun – it seems to me that he won’t exasperate me ever again. As agreed upon, Jake pulls up his car along the street at exactly 7:30. I hop inside the vehicle…

nervous. Eventually, I regained my composure and walked off of the bus with my fellow teammates. As we walked into the gym I smelt a waft of hairspray, makeup, and perfume. It smells like someone sprayed all the sample perfumes at the same time at Macy’s. I began looking around and was surprised at the number of people in the gym. I had never seen so much different cheerleaders in one place before. We immediately proceeded to our designated area and went to work. The moms worked together to make…
