Opinion on FFN


When I read the first pages of the book, I did not know what to expect. However, it has me open my eyes toward a different view of fast food and the world behind it. I don’t know if I will make any changes. I’ve recently began to stop eating red meat, again (I became a pescatarian my junior year of high school), because of the book. It has really made me think of all the dangers in a slaughter house. How ill the workers are treated, especially the cleaning crews. It digusts me how the people will go to almost any length to earn money.

Blog Entry Week 11


Identifying my truth: Number…3: I enjoy rapping about things happening. When I am doing something, I enjoy rapping and rhyming about what I’m doing or things going on around me. Although I was never a gymnast, I was in competitive All-Star cheerleading. I did get nominated for Homecoming Princess my sophomore year of high school, but I ended up going to a different high school’s homecoming anyways. I have never been to the Philippines, although I do want to go. And I believe that I am a mediocre singer, I get way too shy to sing seriously in front of people.

School right now for me is going quite well. I actually have a chapter test for calculus tomorrow and a psychology midterm on Thursday, both which I still need to keep studying for. I took a break from studying by writing my blog post. I actually like that my classes are so close together, time-wise, because it leaves me free in the afternoon. The main thing that bugs me about school is that my calculus teacher has been showing up fifteen minutes late the past few days, and just about when the class is ready to get up to leave she walks in the door. The most challenging class for me would have to be my psychology class. There is quite a noticeable amount more work that I’ve been doing this semester, but in the end I know it will pay off. All the extra study time, cancelling to go out so that I can study, and talking to people whom can help me and I can help them is great for me. When I study with someone, I don’t want them to feel like all I do is take in their information, I want to be able to contribute to them as well!
