The most asked question to any kid is what you want to be when you grow up. That question is often answered with being an astronaut, a doctor, or some sort of animal because of our imaginations when we were kids. Since I first heard that question I always wanted to be in the health industry, but I never knew exactly what I wanted to be until I was in high school. Since then I have been researching a job in Corporate Wellness, Recreation Facilities Director, and even a trainer for professional…

I took a slightly different approach and decided to evaluate Valley Metro’s bus system. I choose the public transportation because I use it on a regular basis and have become very familiar with the way operate and I had easy access to it. Every since the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Federal Rehabilitation Act passed in 1973 Valley Metro has been dedicated to provide a transportation service that is contented and suitable for everyone. Valley Metro buses comply with the ADA…
