Starbucks


To inspire and nurture the human mind - one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time.  This is the mission statement for the company Starbucks.  I have been working for this company for almost a year.  To say that I like my job is an understatement.  I love working for this company and unless I get fired, I don’t plan on quitting my job anytime soon.  With my amazing benefits and weekly coffee/tea mark outs, I couldn’t ask for more.  I have worked at 3 different stores including Kings Island, Col. Glenn and now at the Fairfield Commons Mall.  I have learned about different types of teas and coffees, how to run a store and have gained the knowledge of customer service.  I have learned to be more patient with people and to not take what everyone says seriously.  

To Kill A Mockingbird


If I could save a book for the future generations, I would chose to save To Kill A Mockingbird.  It’s a classic take of good vs. evil, from childhood innocence to hatred and prejudice.  Where moral standards about the community and individual conscience mattered.  Where the beliefs of others influence everyone else and being different is wrong.  This book is an all-time classic and should be kept for future generations.  To Kill A Mockingbird is one of my favorite books and I love to Harper Lee included different themes, characters and symbols to make her point. 

And if I could save another book it would have to be Chelsea Handler's "Are You There, Vodka? It's me, Chelsea ".  Just because I love her and everyone should read her books! 

The House Bunny


My all-time favorite movie is The House Bunny.  It’s about a woman named Shelley Darlington who believes she was asked to leave the Playboy Mansion.  Homeless, she stumbles upon a group of sorority girls.  After becoming their housemother, the girls believe Shelley can help them gain popularity so they can gain 30 pledges.  This is my favorite because I love to watch comedies and this movie constantly makes me laugh.  I don’t enjoy watching serious movies and The House Bunny obviously isn’t serious.  The film was released in August 2008.  The main actors in the movie are Anna Faris as Shelley Darlington and Emma Stone, Kat Dennings, Katherine McPhee, Rumor Willis and Kiel Williams as the unpopular sorority girls.  Hugh Hefner also stars in the movie.  Directed my Fred Wolf, the movie was produced by Anna Faris and Adam Sandler.
