These programs include education on handling addictions, stress, and mental health, dealing with violence in the workplace, and health and wellness programs (ODEP, 2009).

Initially, this seems to be a story of two single people traveling abroad in Spain. The main characters comprised of what seemed to be, an America gentleman and a young lady from America or England. The setting consists of the couple sitting outside a bar in a train station in Spain. What makes this story so enduring is the fact that it is a coming of age tale. During the course of waiting for the train, the young women grows from a naïve girl into a woman, fully in charge of her destiny.…

The 51 bus moves slowly, rumbling wearily down the road, huffing and puffing like my old Grandpa. I don't care. Its a beautiful morning- dappled sunlight streak through the leaves of the Puriri that line the road on either side, and a cloudless sky rolls overhead. I lean against the dirty window, gazing up at the large blue expanse. It blows my mind, because I feel as though there is too much beauty in that beautiful blue oblivion, endless and overwhelming. I love her, I know. Old, worn out…

We drove to the location of the bus as the sun was on its daily rise. The feeling of tiredness was not present due to the overwhelming feeling of excitement. The moment was finally here. When we arrived, everything seemed to move slower, but I soon realized it was the anticipation and caffeine that kept me from falling asleep.

The population within Williamsburg can be divided into three groups: the college students, the service workers, and the elderly folk. Usually these three groups roam in isolated circles from each other, they never really interact. My initial thoughts going into the project were that I wanted to zone in on the specific actions of service workers and a William and Mary student towards each other on the bus. What was of interest to me, was the unique society that is derived from riding a bus; the…

sudden jumps from speaking about the situation in Montgomery to what her opinion and what was happening to her. Plus, the excessive use of exclamations really made it difficult for me to follow. It felt like almost every single one of her opinions were put in exclamation marks. As far as what is going on in this country right now the book that best relates would be The Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Women who started it. The boycott for them was for better treatment on the bus can be connected…

would be like “hey baby” at times some cars did respond and seemed like they wanted to stop, but since it was a very populated area parking and stopping was not an option which was a good thing. The cars and others would not seem like they did not enjoy it, but we would occasionally pass older women or families and the women would actually give us dirty looks and look us up and down obviously judging us, some would even avoid us entirely. We passed a barbershop which was full of men and they saw…
