Tuesdays With Morrie

Usually when it comes to books I just read it because I have to, but when it comes to the novel "Tuesdays With Morrie" by  Mitch Albom, I was instantly hooked and honestly couldn't put the book down. Morrie is an inspiration to everyone and even opened up my eyes with his belief, friendship, and his true calling in life and how to not take anytime or anything for granted. But what touched me about this book is that he reminded me of my grandfather, because of his strength, wisdom, passion, and his overall outlook on life. The final days of Morrie's life is the same way my grandfather left this world, so it truly hit a soft spot in my heart. This novel taught me how to not be afraid of getting older, and to reach for my dreams. Morrie taught Mitch that there is no such thing as "too late." Even if you have broken friendships, and career troubles, it is not too late to make yourself happy and to forgive everything in your past. Morrie taught us all to not take advantage of the little things in life instead enjoy the little things whether its from the plants outside, the weather, and the people you love who surround you. This is absolutely one of my favorite books to read, and I keep on telling those around me they need to read it, because it will change you life.

Job's for America's Youth

When we are younger we think of our dream job. Maybe, when you were 6 you wanted to be a singer, at 9 you wanted to be a chef, 13 you wanted to be a nurse and that idea and career is now your goal and dream job. Well all those thoughts and ideas are what I wanted to do when it came to college and a career. But some of us college students are so indesicive in what it is we want to do when it comes to our career and future. I have had a lot of family member who go to school and get there degree, and soon after they cannot find a job in what they have a degree in, or they are not passionate about what their degree is in. In the article "How a New Jobless Era Will Transform America" by Don Peck, he states "Job-switching is common, and with it, periods of voluntary, transitional unemployment."  Many college students change their mind of the future, or they can't find jobs due to the recession. Many are left unemployed and searching for themselves when they don't percisely know what the want to do or who to become. The career is very desirable and is the top job, because people are living longer, and a nurse is always needed no matter what. Knowing what you want to do and doing something that makes you happy, researching some top career choices can help so you have no needs to worry about unemployment.
