Topic 9/Task1

My attitude is really just laid back. I'm not to quick to snap on anyone. You have to really push my buttons for me to jut get mad at you. I'm really the type to joke around and make people laugh. There have been many situations when people have tried me. I really just look over it and keep moving on.

My attitude a my placement is the same as it is when I'm not there. I think that my laid back attitude fits perfectly when I am dealing with children. There are a lot of things kids can do to piss you off and make you mad. You just have to remember that they are young and to look over them.

I don't think that people in my life have influenced my attitude. Your attitude reflects what kind of person you are. I think that I have influenced myself. I am old enough to make my own decisions, and make my own mistakes.

Topic 8/Task 2

I chose to read up on alcohol. Of the 17.2 million illicit drug users aged 18 or older in 2005, 12.9 million (74.8 percent) were employed either full or part time. That really isn't good at all. There shouldn't be that many people allowed to work under these conditions. I think that allot of the jobs these days should be dug and alcohol tested.

Research indicates that between 10 and 20 percent of the nation's workers who die on the job test positive for alcohol or other drugs. That is another reason why there should be drug and alcohol testing on the job. There are many ways that someone can get injured while working around Heavy machinery.

Topic 8/Task 1

My service learning is at a daycare center. There are many ways that you can get hurt on a daycare job. And most importantly, you have to make sure that all the children are safe also. There are many chemicals, and things that a young toddler can get a hold to while they are in your care. That is why you have to have many restrictions when it comes to dealing with children
