The Difference between High School and College

            High School and College are still two different worlds.  High School like you are not adult and everything will have to deal with either your parents or guidance.  In High School, it is mandatory to attend and free unless it’s a private school.  Everything were arranged and prepared for you in order for you to graduate in the amount of times.  Parents or guidance will be involved in order for teacher to understand about their students and teach them in a way they will understand.  Everything must be approved by parents or guidance in order for student to participate in extracurricular activities either during or after school.
            While we in College, we no longer a teen, we can make our decision either to go college or not to go.  Only our families and friends will concern rather we decide to go or not to go college.  I remembered, my professor always say, “You no longer kid, you are adult and it is your choice to learn and pass my class.”  I guess as an adult, we must learn to manage our time and take responsibility to our action.  In College it’s no longer mandatory but voluntary to go and we must find a way to financially support ourselves. We can set or arrange our class schedule according to our fitment and either going on a fast pace or slow pace are all up to individual decision.
            When talking school, I do miss my High School time.  Everything was well prepared by our counselor and our teachers.  But on the other hands, in College, we still had our counselor whom is helping giving advices and checking our progress status.  Just similar to High School, our counselor will answer any questions toward our future plan and help us to prepare the needs.  There is a lot difference between High School and College but all its matter is the same attitude we had in High School will be the major key factor to our success.

Cell Phone

Today technology so advance that had helped shapes our life in so many ways.  One major invention was the cell phone.   Every time travel, I feel safer when I got my cell phone with me, it's just making more convenient and easier to place phone calls. In the situation of emergency, someone can reach me through my cell phone or make a phone call when I needing.   I believed that everyone cannot live without their cell phone as of today.  Cell phone had become part of daily life like the gasoline.    
Cell phone was invented back in the early 1920s and as of 2011, cell phone were the dominated in the telecommunication world.  I heard that even middle school students had their own cell phone.  Cell phone not just influences our college students and our parents’ life but also the younger generations.  I remember back in my day, the only way to communicate with my friends and family are either the house phone or email. Even with the internet, email takes days to receive it back and one must check daily to get quick response due to there is no notification like cell phone.        
Cell phone not only replaced voice communication but also replace our mailing message or email.  Texting used cell phone being so popular that every provider service offered unlimited texting.  At the end of each month, I am checking my texting message and were over 2000 texting messages.  Imagine no unlimited texting, 2000 text messages were cost approximate $400.        
Now I can go anywhere and would not fear of getting lost or search place like restaurants, shopping mall, address, etc.  Cell phone these days is called smart phone like the Apple Iphone or android phone like the Droid phone; these phones offer a full feature of the internet and web browser and GPS.  Whenever my friends and I went out, we can easily search for a place using google map in our phone to search place that we want to go and the nearest location to us.  There is also an app called yelp.com for all the smart phones, this app provides full service and information for restaurants and shopping places.  Cell phone is like eyes and ears to us.

My doing by the weekend

What am I doing this weekend and that can be help me to research or make a more look good at my interview of a subculture paper through? There are three steps that I have to make when I was writing and talk with him about the paper again. First I call him and we talk little bit about him and the job. Second, I started write my paper and its first draft by the week day. And I be come to make more questing for him and he answered that let he come visit me then we will talk about more the question I have in mind. Finally, he came visit me and then we talk fact by fact. I had invited my friend Tou to come to talk with me at my house.
He came visit me on the Saturday and we started talking about the job then I started ask him the question I have in my mind. My first question is asking that what is his job and where he work. He works as a Screen Printer. His job was to print logo that number, message, image, and etc.., onto the t-shirt, hoody, jersey, bags, jacket, short and pants. So his primary job was to print those numbers onto jersey such as basketball, soccer, football, and sometime hoody, tee shirt and short.  Then my second ask him about what is the important of his job to him and what type of his job that (manufacture, factory or store. Then he said that are their primary task was to print jersey for sports team. His work or job is not a company or factory job. But they consider as a retail store just like Wal-Mart or Best Buy except that they are not open to customer to come in because to customize jersey or shirt will take time to process.
The third question for me to ask that what is making his relationship between the co-workers, lead, and supervisor. He said that to be able to perform his best on any task that he must have good connection or relationship between the people as he work with. He believes that he have good connection to all the co-workers and his boss. He would like to enjoy working everyday and always doing his best on any task. Finally, his answer for me that I realize that even too many stuff go through, but he learns a lot of things from the job as he was working. So now he likes on the top game but of course he start does felt a lot of stress, but as the time goes by then he seem like endless for himself. He sure about the job that he had from all the time now.
Well, after I done interview with him for the day then I very feel like that this screen printer job was helpfully to him and also for many out there too.  I can realize that I do get along with everyone in the job too. When we talk to each other by the time I was interview him. Therefore, I don’t really know anything about this screen printer job before I will invite him came to visit and I interview him but after I had done with some question then its sound like give lots interest to me. I can image that he is a good working. However, He doesn’t have any good education or any knowledge for helping this job but he can learn by the way he still work along with this job to be successful.
