Teaching a section on job preparedness
A narcissist student puts down others to make herself feel more superior.
So much so she creates tension in the class

I pulled her aside and said “you need to treat this classroom like it’s your job.”
She said” I know how to act at work”
She landed her dream externship

She lived across the street. walking to work
Externship 14 Business days 80 hours
Management started hearing hellacious gossip but wasn’t sure the source.

A young lady came in for an interview,
my student said”I know her she’s gay.”
The manager heard what she said
“ we have a zero tolerance policy”

Manager: “I am interviewing this candidate, and that cannot be a factor. If I hear anymore on the subject there will be consequences”

My student didn’t hear a word the manager said. shortly after The incident
I received a letter
Management terminated her externship.

They didn’t want her even for FREE.
Her dream job down the drain.
She had a hard time getting a job
that incident, is on her transcript

Perhaps she can get a job with the news
She has a lifetime of gossiping experience
She hasn’t learned a moral lessons yet
If college doesn’t fit, have a back up plan
BLT webster’s Word of the Day challenge
Gossip 6-7-24
To gossip is to talk about The personal lives of other people

I taught at a technical college, two-year AS degree in medical billing. The externship is where you go for two weeks for free on the job training and if they like you, they will hire you. I have worked out situations where a person was needed so bad they will hire The student in lieu of externship, but that usually only happens to my top 2% the best and brightest.. then there are students who don’t quite meet the master while they might have just barely squeaked by and graduated. They’re not hireable. It cost $21,000 to sit in my classroom in another $1500 for books. I take that responsibility to heart. I don’t want them to finish school and say welcome to McDonald’s. The types of grants that are available for technical colleges, you only can use once then that benefit is gone, you’re no longer eligible.
God spoke
to me today,
In the voice
of a precious
Woman who hides
From all
that’s wrong
Underneath her
Sheets.

The voice
soothes
My aching
bones,
That drag
behind
My skin,

It urged me
to believe,
To hope,
to love,
to want.

But how
can I
when all
I ever
wanted got
thrown
Into the
passion of
Burning fire.

And God,
I can’t
find myself
Today.

Or tomorrow

Or yesterday

Like a bee
In summer
Heat,
I get lost
in the
Flower
petals
And
the smell
Of gardenias

The nectar
that drips
off my lips
Helps
Me cope
Around
Sky scrapers
And this
unbearable
Ache that
Has found
a home
Somewhere
around
My chest.

How can
I God?

Throw a
Life vest
My way.

How much
Do I have
To beg
To be
Found?
W39
Growing everyday seeking purpose
Mind hungers for knowledge
Being able to apply what's being taught
Usually isolated and alone
Anxious to be stimulated by others
Being social but always feeling too wordy
Honesty that ****** people off
Straight forward to the point
Learned to consider outside factors
Read the room the persons body language
Somethings can't be said or talked about
Music to express those thoughts some words are hard to find
Solomon indulged
In the witchcraft of poetry
The magical rites of nature
He broke the yoke
Of wasted hopes
And became a woman chaser

Words form spells
The seeds of dreams
Dark verse light
The earliest memes
Songs of songs
Building grace
Magic is attainable
In the Poet's case
..........................
Traveler Tim
Will you stay?
Wrapped around
My arms underneath
My sheets,
And my pillows,
And the ceiling fan,
And the ceiling,
And the sky,
Let me fall
Into a deep slumber
As the warmth of
Your breath against
My chest defrost
Ancient drums
That pound a beat
So lost in time,
I start to believe again.
