Portfolio essay At the end of a long school day you walk through the halls and you never thought about this before but you wonder why so much trash is on the floor. So tell yourself next thing in the morning you want to see if the floor is still dirty or not, so the next day when you arrive at school you enter and scan the floor and you notice that all of the trash and dirt was picked up and the floor was clean. This situation was the same as the one I had while looking for a topic for this essay. And this got me thinking about the custodians at school and what they deal with on a day-to-day basis, I thought who else to interview better than my own Mom who is a custodian at Vista West Continuation School. I thought that it would be interesting …show more content…
There is a lot of pressure and responsibility that comes with the job, which is to be expected for cleaning and keeping the campus and classrooms clean. Also having your coworkers and higher ups be on your case 24/7, my mom explained, “They(her coworkers and manager) are always on my case asking if I did this or that when I've been working there for years” (Gomez 9:13-9:26). From what I have heard mostly that some custodians are unfairly treated by staff and coworkers, for example, I was told that for a time my mom and one other custodian for a period of time were responsible for keeping the entire campus clean. I remember the days when she was told to do overtime, She came home late and tired and even after that the next day she was harassed because she didn’t do a special request for one of the teachers“One of the teachers wanted me to move a big desk to the other room but we would be there all day because of how big it was and my supervisor said I didn’t have to do it so I didn’t and the next day the teacher wound up confronting me as if I did something wrong or it was my job. which it …show more content…
And so even mentally, the job is staining and tough to handle and a constant reminder of how unfair and a really mental and physical toll it has on someone. My personal thought is that these custodians need to be more recognized for their actions and be treated like actual staff like teachers and office workers, not forgotten or not considered because lots of kids respect the teacher’s classroom when it comes to trash. But a lot of people I’ve known don’t consider the custodians so they leave their trays and trash at the lunch table so me and another friend would be picking it up because first my mom is a custodian and so I understand how trash can make their job worse and if my mom works at my school I wouldn’t want her to pick anything up and would try to be as clean as possible for her if she were to work at my school. And second, it’s just being kind and thoughtful to pick up after yourself. And also it is really unfair how women are treated in the
In this essay, the author has argued a clear problem, about why not to install carpet in dorm rooms. I believe that the reasons the author gives might appeal to the audience. But I believe this essay is underdeveloped. It is more about the reasons why the author feels carpeting dorm rooms is a bad idea. But not if the students really believe it’s a bad idea. I think the author should have included a student survey or testimonies about why carpet is a bad idea.

Jobs require employees with proper personal hygiene, whether it’s at McDonalds or a janitorial position.
Employees should not assume that the cleaning crew has been meticulous in eradicating germs. Phones’ and other items on the desktop are rarely cleaned or disinfected. Encourage employees to use disinfecting wipes in their personal workstation. Make wipes and hand sanitizers readily available for each workstation, especially when shared by different shifts.

In my time working at The Cambridge Professional Center, LLC, I have learnt a great deal about what working in the real world entails and myself. On the Sunday night before my first day on the senior project I was packing my bag and talking to my mom. I went over all the items in my bag so I made sure I had everything I needed for the next day. As childish as this may sound, I stopped mid-sentence and asked my mom, “What am I suppose to do for lunch tomorrow?” She responded with a smile, “Brown bag it.” Having gone to private school all my life, I never had to brown bag my lunch. Although this is small, it is one of the many examples of what I learnt throughout my senior project experience. I also learnt to further manage my time at work and home. Throughout my high school experience, I basically spent all my time doing work; however, with the senior project, since I worked long days, I limited the hours I spent on work at home. Not only did this minimize my stress, this tactic al...

It seemed like a normal day when I entered Mrs. A’s AP Language and Composition class, but little did I know that she was going to assign a very important project that was going to take forever. I took my seat and wrote down what was on the board. Then I sat patiently and waited for Mrs. A to come explain what we were doing today. When the tardy bell rang, Mrs. A glided into the room and gave us all a stack of papers. She then proceeded to discuss our upcoming assignment, a memoir. As she explained the very important assignment, I wondered whom I would write about. No one really came to mind to write about and I thought for sure I would never be able to get this thing done on time. I finally decided that I would write in on my mother, Kari Jenson. I knew I would probably put the project off until the very end and do it the weekend before even though it would get on my mom’s nerves. Putting work off was just how I did everything, it worked for me. When I arrived home from school that day, I told mom about the project. I told her I would most likely write it about her and she was overjoyed.

Cat litter by itself is heavy; however, when you add trash it gets much worse. You should try picking up ninety five pounds of cat poop. This is a perfect recipe for disaster or just a couple of ruptured discs in your back. I have always loved those wonderful college kids that decided that one hundred beer bottles constitutes trash instead of recyclable. These guys just make the job that much better so hats off to you guys. Good work, way to go and beat the hell out of the working man. Trash isn’t the only thing a public works employee picks up during his day; for example the mayor would send us down to city hall to do the repairs that were needed in the building. Well this one particular day was much worse than previous days. They sent us with two reciprocating saws to cut the radiators loose in city hall so they could scrap them for some money. Any way the radiators weighed about four hundred pounds per piece and there was only five of us to carry them down six flights of steps, then out a door and into the back of the van. If you have
On a humid and oppressive afternoon, the sun beating down on our house, I lay down on the floor of my room, trying to escape the fall heat. With smooth jazzy beats in the background and a mini-fan cooling me down, having to write a essay gives me a opportunity to reflect on my past and take a break from the present.
People are such a Waste Don’t you ever come across a messy environment or someone improperly throwing away their trash? It irritates me when people litter or don’t pick up after themselves. They know it’s not in its place, yet they still don’t mind doing something about it. It can show how bad mannered people can be, like they think if they’re at home, which still shouldn’t be acceptable.
Right now its Saturday; its the morning of course and I just remembered that my English teacher expects that I turn in the second portfolio of the year. As I look over at the time, I realize that I now have a topic to write about.
