Hello everyone here is a little piece from the middle of my essay, thanks in advance for your thoughts. Ellen
Wal-Mart should hire enough employees to cover the daily tasks so that one employee isn’t overextended and underpaid. Wal-Mart associates themselves describe the working conditions for Karen Olsson in “Up Against Wal-Mart”. Liberty Morales Serna a former associate states, “They would know you’ve clocked out already, and they’d say ‘Do me a favor. I don’t have anyone coming in – could you stay here?’ It would be like four or five hours. They were understaffed, and they expected you to work these hours”. (349) This personal favor turns into a threat. They are not being paid for this time which is illegal.

My Thoughts on work

Growing up my Dad was initially the bread winner , but eventually my Mom started working and ended up being the bread winner which didn't sit well with my Dad. Thanks to my Mom I always knew I wanted to make my own money, just to able to support myself and never have to depend on someone. While I was in high school I held a couple of part-time jobs (cashier and babysitting). Right out of high school I married and had my first child even then I worked part-time so I could make my own money. I went on and had two more children and have worked part-time most of my life. When I did work full-time as a secretary I hated it!!!! I currently work part-time and love what I do, but I am not paid enough for all I do. I am back in school after a very very long break so I can further my passion and possibly make some money doing what I love.

I wasn't willing, but I am able

This is all very new to me and I never really wanted to do it, but I'm here posting a blog. WOW
