So, today I woke up and saw an ad for the app google chrome. It said that browsing will be faster and all this new features that it comes with. So I downloaded it and it is a little faster than the regular browser. So the good news is that now I can post on my blog from home. Well, besides this, I am going to be busy today by reading he book Grapes of Wrath. It is a book assigned to by my American literature teacher. The book is about the migrant families that lost their land to the Bank because their farms weren't doing so good because of the man-made disaster that we now know as the dust bowl. So they all went to the promised land where they would have jobs and money to feed their families, but when they get to California, they get rejected. John Steinbeck shows us how we humans are so greedy and full of selfishness that we don't help each other when we are in need of some aid. All contraire, don't help each other and it becomes a dog eat dog world. Some may call it darwinism. I call it a disgrace to the human race. the actions of some people worsened the living conditions of the migrant families. Steinbeck tells us that we are not living an a world of good morals and ethics, and that we need to change that, because every time that we don't live by them, we loose our humanity

My last post was an introductory paragraph to my actual subject, ex-L.A.P.D. officer Christopher Dorner.  But since he is dead now, most of you wont be interested about the subject now. well, to sum things up , i was going to say that im glad that he spoke up but i am disappointed in the way he approached things. then i was going to compare situations and stuff.

LAPD

People in the Police Academy Magnet Program know me as cadet Jaramillo. In freshman year, i was class leader of class 614. During sophomore year, i was a corporal and last semester, i used to be sergeant II. Now, I'm just a cadet. I lost my rank because i didn't feel like i was any different than the ordinary cadets so I really didn't try my best and i didn't give it my 100 percent. I felt like i was just wearing the rank on my uniform. People with rank basically did the same things that cadets do, except someone is yelling at you at least once a day saying you are doing something wrong. I admit, i wasn't ready to hold rank, or maybe i was, but we received no training what so ever. to top it all off, we once again got a new officer. Let me tell you something, every officer has a different style of instructing his cadets. so we were exposed to a new plan and were put to study new content that we have never seen before. Ok, so everybody knows that you need to be able to adapt to any changes that come through your way, but as i said, i may have not being ready to hold rank at the time so what did i do? i didn't adapt as fast as i had to and in return, i got stripped of my rank. it also doesn't help that the captain doesn't like you and that he uses something that is prohibited when you are holding rank: Favoritism. Well, i turned in my patches of sergeant II and didn't complain much. I was stripped of my rank, not de-ranked, i was not put on probation, which is necessary in order to strip someone or even de-rank. 

Croissants and Jobs

      Today the librarian shared something with her library practice class that she had acquired from a german bakery. she made a really good deal by getting six for four dollars and seventy-five cents. The croissants were really good. some didn't have anything in them but others had cheese and ham. i am considering in buying some later in my lifetime. Maybe when i get a job. i'll be getting a job soon too. i just need to make a resume and i will be ready to apply. i am thinking of either applying at Vallarta or Little Caesars. i tried applying at two Metro pcs stores. the first one told me that they had recently hired a new person, but that i could still turn in my resume. since i don't have a resume i just left. i was actually looking for a barbershop around my house when i went to go ask about a job. so i kept on walking and finally found a barber shop. after i got my haircut, i walked home. this time, i took a different route and found another Metro pcs store. this one told me that i had to be at least eighteen years old but i new that the minimum age for that company to get a job was sixteen. i didn't really care because the people who worked there looked all crazy and uptight. so now i am just waiting for a chance to make a resume with the assistance of the librarian so i can start applying and start earning money.
