BB. Rant

I'll tell you one thing that really makes me angry, is when you bend over backwards for someone and in return you get nothing. I have been working for the same place for 2 years. I would say that I am a pretty hard working person. Not only that, but whenever my bosses ask me to come in early, or work a day I am not scheduled for, I would be in in a heart beat. But when it comes to getting a little respect back there is none. God forbid I ever ask for a day off, or make a mistake. And not to mention the biggest slap in the face is that I am making minimum wage. I have been there a year and a half longer than people who are making more than me. It is ridiculous and I take it very personally. I've wanted to quit for a long time but don’t want to leave on bad note. But there is no reason I care if people who treat me like crap like me or not. I'm glad I have finally gotten over that and applied for other jobs. I don't need a job where I am treated badly and not appreciated. Excuse my rant, but I feel like I have taken so much nonsense from my employers and cannot wait until I put my two week in, and never have to deal with them again.

AA. Dog Fighting

                Dog fighting is a truly disgusting thing that people do. It is hard to wrap my mind around the fact that someone would intentionally get a dog and train it to attack and kill. All my life I have been around dogs. And yes there are some dogs that bite people and are aggressive but it normally because they are just protective. But to take a dog and make it into a vicious killer is sickening. Dogs only want attention and love from humans, but when humans take them and make the aggressive it is awful.

Lately in buffalo there have been many instances of dog fighting. Dead dogs have been being discovered in Cheektowaga cemeteries. City sanitation workers have found dead dogs in garbage cans on the east side. Last month a dead dog was found hanging in the basement of a home on the east side. After a necropsy by the SPCA it was found that the dog was still alive when it was hanged. This makes me so angry because no person or animal should go through such abuse, especially when it is for “entertainment” of sick people.

                Dog fighting really needs to come to an end. A buffalo police man was arrested for breeding and training dogs to fight. People that we have in authority of keeping people in line and following the law are partaking in such terrible activities. Dog fighting is so inhumane and really needs to be stopped all together. The only way to end dog fighting is for people who know or suspect it is going on to report it. We need to help these animals who can’t defend themselves.

                Pit-bull have a very bad reputation. It is very sad because they are very loving animals except when they are trained to be vicious. The pit-bulls aren’t dangerous; it’s the humans that are.

Z. Future

As senior year draws nearer and nearer to the end I can’t help but be super excited for what the suture has in store for me.

I cannot wait to see what college at Alfred State will be like. It will be nice to get out of Alden for a bit and meet other people. Not only am I excited for college I’m so ready to have a career as a vet tech. Working with animals everyday will be so much fun for me. I think about it constantly. In a little over two years I will be beginning my career. It’s crazy but at the same time I can’t wait to get my own place and start out my life. I’m so glad I know exactly what I want to do. It took me a while to figure it out, but I’m so happy I did.

My only goal in life is to be happy. I am not going to live my life to make anyone else happy. I’m going to do exactly what I want to do and let nothing hold me back so I won’t ever regret something that I didn’t do. Maybe that sounds selfish, but I feel like life is way too short to be always worrying. I just want to be happy. Hopefully with a career that I love, I will be able to live a happy life.

I sit in school and think I’m just wasting part of my life where I could be out doing things. Once I’m in college it will be nice to know I’m learning things that will actually be of use to me in the long run, and I will be in classes with people who share the same interests as me. I don’t know exactly what the future has in store for me but I hope it’s good.
