my life revolves on the ones i love

           My mother what would I be without her she is my back bone. She is my best friend I am comfortable enough to tell her anything I have questions or concerns on. She is more than just my mother she is also my father since growing up in a single parent home she took upon double responsibility. Whenever I need and needed her she was always there from school play a day with a cold anything you name it my mom was there.
            Most people say huh I have to go visit my grandma but my reaction is ‘Yay a day with my grandma”. She is my second mother she helped raise me while my mom worked and went to school. She gives me advice in life and helps guide me to the right direction. She is open to any questions I have she helped mold me into the values I bring upon myself. Love her to death she is my mother too not my grandma.
My grandpa and as I call him my “Apa”, he’s the male figure I didn’t have growing up. He presets me as his daughter and calls me his daughter and for that I am grateful. I admire how he includes me in everything and gives me the best advice a father can give.

FFN

The book has been interesting to read. There are many things you learn that you do not take in consideration when you drive up to a drive thru like the history of the place from the ingredients they use where they get it from and how they market and prepare it. Although some of the things you read in the book are disturbing they make me want to not eat fast food as much but once in a while I am going to find myself ordering something because after so many years of consuming the product it’s like an addiction you crave.  One thing that was very eye opening was the chapter on the meat companies. I hated to read the some children died because of the way they processed the food with much lack of food safety and lack of following food health regulations all because they wanted money faster. It makes me wonder for the next time I take a bite of a hamburger if that meat is any good or what was the process it went thru before it got to my hands. The fact that McDonalds is the nation’s richest fast food industry and pay their employees the minimum and are very stingy to raises makes me angry because I have been working at a McDonalds for three years now and it is a pretty tiring job for what they pay and to make matters worse we work holidays with no double pay only high rank managers without even attending the job. But anyways a job is a job and thank god it’s only temporary until I’m done with school or I get another job.
