Debbie also has trouble in her personal life, like finding time for friends and a new Afghan husband. Towards the end, when her classes are graduating and the girls are getting jobs, Debbie realizes the troubles she went through to get them to this point were really worth it. In Kabul Beauty School, by Deborah Rodriguez, Debbie thought up the plans for a beauty school, went through hell and back to accomplish the goal, and then realized the great things she contributed to the girls and the community. Between the fears Debbie has about starting a new school in a foreign country and the excitement she has about donations, there is a lot going on in the beginning of the book. She gets a hold of some very famous, in her case very important, people like John Paul DeJoria who happens to be the owner of Paul Mitchell.
Although she faced many differences she was a lucky one, she had the privileged to get educated and she traveled around the U.S. trying to get people to get past the fact the she was different color, accent, or what she would wear. What I learned from reading Judith Ortiz Cofers’ essay “ Don’t call me a Hot Tamale” was that peoples cultures are important in their lives, we should respect theirs as well as our owns. But as well as that I learned
The only problem was that Wong was given almost no freedom by her parents. Both Richard Rodriguez and Jade Snow Wong had troubled lives in the beginning but each found out that their respective lives were much better after they grew as learners and users of language. While Rodriguez had a hard time learning English, Wong had a hard time with her family because she was never fully recognized by them as a individual who could decide for themselves. After they each progressed in their learning, both authors emerged out of their hardships. Through experiences, Rodriguez found a love for English and a public identity, and Wong eventually learned how to express her own opinions, claiming that she had grown to an individual no longer bound by the obedience of her parents.
But what made one successful and the other damaged? Overall, Ruth succeeds as opposed to her father because she created a liberal, structured, and loving home. One of the major lessons Ruth passes to her children is that of racial blindness. This is seen throughout the book as a means to advance in society and overcome challenges that have affected those of color for many years. Ruth demonstrates this lesson by responding to the claim of g-d’s lack of race by stating that “…g-d is the color of water”.
Madera’s narrative “One Voice” because her story caused me to reflect on an experience that I encountered earlier in my life. I will never forget the transition from fifth to sixth grade. It was an obstacle in my life that I thought I could not overcome; but I did and I believe it has made me into a much better individual today. Madera is a woman that battled with vigorous obstacles in her life. She never gave up when things became rough.
In her writing she acknowledges the fact that burnout occur quite frequently in the Social Work Profession. She states that she did the required education to be a licensed Social Worker and more electives than was required, she wanted to be well equipped for the job so that she could be effective in what she was doing however with all the education it did prevent what was inevitable and that was burnout. Sara found the solution called self-care and this is my argument that Social Workers must further their education beyond receiving the license to practice. If the self-care is taught Social Workers could be more effective and help more people because they are equipped in every area and have an outlet for themselves through the education of self-care. This will help me a great deal in my argument for Social Workers to get the necessary education needed to be
The women helped built up institutions that also included churches. Class impacted education as the poor women may not have been able to afford an education (or their family couldn’t.) which, I mentioned earlier. Class was a big deal, and separated the wealthy from the poor. But if a poor woman was actually able to receive a proper education her changes of marrying were good.
Learned behavior from past situations and experiences, we today have learned hopefully for the good to better deal with these situations or problems when they occur. Examples that show the guilt in the story are what the characters learned from the experiences and how they acted whether positively or negatively. One example is when Chillingworth found out that Dimmesdale was Hester’s secret lover and used all of his power to make his life difficult. Another example is when Dimmesdale came clean on the scaffold and can now rest in peace. Yet another example is that Hester Prynne became a stronger woman.
My career goals are the same as anyone elses, to be successful. In this economy especially at the moment, that is a hard thing to do if you do not have a post high school education. I enrolled in school after graduating high school to not only better myself by pursuing something that I am interested in and love to do but to make a difference in that industry as well. In this particular field it is hard as a woman, maybe not as hard as it used to be as more women are doing things they never used to, but still hard none the less. I am talking about the automotive field.
She was very talkative and didn’t really allow me to get a lot of questions in, but just by her story I was able to learn about her culture. One of her biggest obstacles of being in America is being judged as an “illegal immigrant” and feels the struggle of trying to fit into America. Her ambition to make life better and to educate herself was also inspiring. Her motivation to keep going regardless of the obstacles she faces everyday made me realize that their culture is eager to survive and get away from the poverty they grew up with. Questions that were asked were; 1.
