My name is Mariama , I grew up in a working class family in West Africa.

Whether I should work or not has never being a question for me when I was growing up.

I got my first job in America six(6) years ago at JFK airport as a costumer service representative for an airline company. It is a very fun, and prestigious job I do part-time as I am married with two (2) children.

I've made a big deal of friends since I am working there, and a lot of growing since since 6 years.

I have to mention that, this is a very stressful environment to work in with all the variety of people to deal with, and more importantly the security measures to respect.

Anyway, after watching the movie The High Price of Low Prices in class, I just saw myself and all my colleagues as front line agent, and one more time I became more dedicated to pursuing my dream of working in the medical field; both my parents are doctors in Guinea (if I forgot to mention it). My job offer good medical, travel and retirement benefits also the pay is not that good but the schedule is what disturb me the must.

As a mother and wife, helping my children with their homework, and spending some time with my family is just crutial.

Also, I think that people should really take education seriously cause all these problems we are looking at in class are just related to education. When you are educated and apply for a high ranked job guys, noone will request a drug and alcohol test from you. What do you think ?
