I always think that to give a good example of yourself, influence the people around you. Also, the rewards one receives by setting good examples are immensely satisfying. Julio, a young man from the Bronx, was a member of a gang. He grew up without a father. His father died of cocaine over dose when he was only ten years old. When I met Julio, he had just started working in the factory where I was a maintenance manager. One day this young man stopped me in the hallway. "Hey Yo, I want to work in your department as a mechanic" he said. I didn't paid attention and kept walking. Several days later the production manager asked me to give an opportunity to a young man to work in my department, and I did.
Rapidly, I realize that Julio was clever with the tools, and I started to give him some responsibilities.
But, he was a forlorn, witty young man that had a short temper and a really bad attitude. He couldn't get along with his co-workers. I called him into my office and I asked him what his problem was. "I have no problem man, those mother fuckers talk too mush shit. They don't know who I am," he said. "Well Julio, here you are an employee just like them and I expect you to change your attitude with them. I need you to get along with them like family". I said. "Family" He said, "I don't want no fucking family. I need to work to stay out of jail".
I soon found out that I had a troublemaker, and told him, that he needed to change his street attitude, or he will put me on the position to let him go. His answer was, "fuck you,
Good
the essay was pretty interesting! ANd you did a good job on the way you approached it, the style it has, and the wordchoice is pretty good also! But what i do have to tell you is that you should never start an essay with "I think.."
That just makes your essay weaker...giving the readers the impression that you are not so sure about it, or whether the others agree with you...but you think! it would sound better if you said...In general...or from past experiences or whatever!
Hope you understand where am i trying to get to...
Good job!
THumbs up!
