Heading: Practices and
Procedures
Why is it that whenever
someone tries to implement the correct procedure to complete a task is always
met with opposition? Have you ever stop to think about all the things we do on
a daily basis, all the short cuts we make, if we are following the proper
procedures that govern these duties, it is my perception that we don't, but if
we have an open mind and try the correct procedure we would find that the short
cuts were not short cuts after all and the correct way is easier to perform and
understand.

Heading: With or Without Cell phones
What did we do before cell phones reached our shores because it seems like most Trinidadians cannot do without their phones. No longer are we comfortable without it attached to our hip, our ear or holding it like a comforter in our hands, so much so that we are totally unconscious to what is happening around us when we are either twittering, bbming, oh and even blogging.
I have seen some people crossing the street oblivious to what is going only because it is absolutely imperative that they take that call or send that message. I have seen people almost get knocked down because they stopped in the middle of the road to answer the phone, "why, because it is a matter of life and death" no because they are addicted to this piece of communication device that takes their money and may one day take their life.
So please people be aware of where you are and what you are doing that call is not worth your life.

Title: My Young Ladies of Today
Long gone are the days when you would hear the term "young ladies should be seen and not heard", I miss those days, for todays ladies are loud, bold faced, obnoxious and even crass at times. You must have guessed it by now that it is a pet peeve of mine, call me old fashioned but there are just some teachings that should not be lost. Now don't get me wrong I am not saying that we should be push over’s, dumb and docile but there is a difference between being assertive and being disruptive, offensive and tasteless.
Why is it that you crave attention soooo.. much? Is it insecurity? Whatever it is figure it out and "CHOOSE" to be different "CHOOSE" to break the negative cycles in your life and create new positive ones, ones you would be proud of.
Please my young beautiful ladies take pride in yourself, want better for you and your future reputation, one that your family would admire.

Journal Entry 10
Yes I use slang in my everyday conversations because of community language it is easier than speaking in standard English all the time and the fact that it is understood by your peers it makes communication easier.
I would like to think that I use it appropriately, because you think of the context that you are using it in and apply it.

I think that I am a good verbal communicator because I have always prided myself on improving the way I speak, learning the proper pronunciation and not being afraid to ask questions when I don't know or understand something.
In my job as a Customer Relations Officer you come into contact with different types of people of different walks of life and you have to be able to adapt, be sensitive to different scenarios and always be aware with whom you are speaking in order to be able to communicate efficiently and effectively. You have to know when to speak in layman terms for those who would not be able to understand the jargon you are using, you may need to break it down to terms they can understand. It is all about being alert, sensitive and a good listener as well as being able to empathize.

My impression of the article left me thinking that the teacher did not want to be forced out or to leave the school that she has managed because she believes that she is helping and making a difference there, but after reading the article in it's entirety makes me wonder if she is just being difficult and just using the incident to get her own way. It doesn't seem like it's about the kids anymore.
