To me that’s what life is, moving though challenges and rough patches it’s the best learning experience there is. I currently set on the Gold committee for Girl Scouts of Central Valley South. The gold award is the highest award achievable for a girl scout. It’s equivalent to the Eagle Scout. I do trainings for girls preparing to go on this journey and earn the gold award. Part of my training is explaining …show more content…

What was difficult for me was that after my dismissal I immediately began applying for jobs and handing out my resume. Went on many interviews and made top 5 and then top two. I could not find a job, I would make first, second, and third process interviews but could never get a position.

I focused on my family that started really young, before I graduated high school, I had my first child and in my early twenties had two more.

Getting my foot in the door for that training was a chore. I was actually turned away at first. Told by one gentlemen that I had so much work experience that it would be a waste at this point for me to go back to school. He told me he could get me a job in a week. What he didn’t tell me is that it would be an entry level position, I would start back at the bottom and they pay was

  • Use Of Figurative Language In Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak

    644 Words  | 3 Pages

    Helen Keller once said "...although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it." This quotation means that in life, you come to find yourself in many struggles, but there is always a sense of accomplishment over such problems. The reason I agree with this quote is because such triumph can only be accomplished after the fact of the occurrence of a struggle. The realistic fiction book, Speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson, is a perfect example of my interpretation of the quote. The author uses conflict, figurative language and characterization to show that this quote is true.
