Volunteering to Reach to the Top

I've never been the one to find a job as quickly as my peers during high-school. What I did during my free time was help out at a horse stables and volunteer with special need kids. I couldn't get a job being under-qualified in the work force and without proper skills that were required to get a first job. Throughout applications I have filled in high-school, I was never given a job or a part time job. What students seem to miss out in high-school are the basic skills and experience one can gain when they become volunteers. Volunteering will help you understand a working environment without all the struggles and bad habits you could pick up with a real job. First off, volunteer coordinators and managers have much more patience than an average boss or employer. Since you are only volunteering, you don't have to worry about being late or being on time, or even if you mess up. Charities and organizations are usually built from caring and forgiving people who will be willing to teach you what you need to know without an attitude or such. While we have that, many other workers in that organization or charity are more than willing to teach you a few skills that your school has neglected or forgotten to teach you. Second, Depending on where you volunteer, you will gain many skills. I had volunteered at a horse stables, haunted house, and a food bank. Throughout those three organizations; I gained a few skills in horse leading/side walking, cleaning, working with people, acting, retail, stocking, and currently I am learning more about cooking. Of course as a volunteer, you don't get paid, but on a resume you might get praised for spending your given time to help out the community. During my first interview for a job, the manager liked what she saw because since I never had a real job before, only volunteering, I don't have any bad habits in fast-food industry and because I'm dedicated into working no matter what my pay is. For many of you who have failed at getting into college, which I won't judge you for since I am in the same boat, I encourage you to volunteer at a nearby organization or charity. Finding a job isn't easy for everyone, and if it takes a few organizations to spend time at, you can easily improve on many things. Good luck!

My Opinion To The Photoshop Effect

      Well, my opinion is that I think the least they can do is actually label it. I mean, the woman in the video did say that she looked a lot prettier photoshopped than in real life. Labeling it would at least give   her the credits of her natural beauty rather than fake beauty. Giving the models credit for their inner beauty seems more right than showing an image of a much more perfect self of them. When the woman states that the editors think that we all already know about them retouching the pictures, seems even worse considering not everybody knows. You have to tell them before they actually think there is this thing called "Perfection" as they try to be perfect, they'll fail because there really isn't any perfect in life.   While they fail, they'd be stuck in the darkness, "perfecting" everything which they cannot "perfect" any longer because it doesn't need anymore cover up. Yes, label it.
