Journal 10 by Kyle Ciballi

Part 1 :
     A profile that  I would like to talk about today is the tool and dye maker section in the generations part. I believe that the tool and dye maker shows a purpose of work because its all hand made. It shows what quality over quantity really means these days. Sure you can buy cheaper ,but you wont get the durability and quality of something that is made cheaper. These days we have always found the cheapest method with the lowest quality of work. But its unfortunate what happened to the tool and dye maker shop because its still happening today. People are getting rid of the hand made quality products with cheaper options to save money. are you really saving money though if you have to keep replacing the same part ? This chapter of the book showed me quality is key into crafting any parts or fabrics. A hard worker who had a purpose to get people quality tools and parts but was shut out by big cheap companies.
This is a tool and die maker CNC machine in todays shops and styles. You can create all different types of molds for tolls and metals with this machine


Part 2 :
     Another profile that research had helped me in understanding the profession better is the story about the dentist. I found out that a dentist had to go through a crap ton of schooling. They also have to get a residency, and over the years continue passing these tests to stay qualified. They first need a bachelors in dental surgery or dental studies, before they can get accepted into a dentistry school. To be accepted it is very competitive so they also take on other factors such as GPA, interviews and recommendations. once they become a dentist one of there man priorities is to diagnose and treat problems with patients’ teeth, gums, and related parts of the mouth. They provide advice and instruction on taking care of the teeth and gums and on diet choices that affect oral health. a fun fact about salary is they make 152,700 dollars a year as a general dentist ! talk about bringing in the dough !

Journal 10 by Chelsea

One story that i really enjoyed was Josh Gippn talks with his grandmother Rose Brudno a bar owner. I feel like bars are important and having a good owner means a lot. A bar is where you go to unwind a lot of times after a hard eek of work. she was a great owner she would help save money and know people get a little crazy sometime and need to have fun. The way she ran her bar is the kind of place i like to go for fun and just a relax atmosphere. Having a safe place for barmaids to work was really important to her. Thats the kind of passion you need to make a successful place.

       I had a wounderful relationship with the community at the bar                                                                                             I knew their kids, I knew their parents. we had a ball (Brudno pg194)


One story that really made me think was the Hospice Chaplin Issan Koyama. this story is a strong passion to help others and help their passing easier no matter what that can cost you. looking at Hospice Chaplin support medical care through spiritual and emotional help. Just being with someone and making them feel better as there life comes to an end. You have to have a masters degree in studies such as pasture studies.A lot of places require the pasture to be ordained. The emotional tow it has it difficult for many people. You have to have a love for people and care about their life. As Issan said " I really feel the supported by the legacy of their lives. It keeps you going" ( Issan pg 116)

One profile that really hit home for me was in the Philosophers section in Callings about the Neurosurgeon Thanking his old Science Teacher. I felt very passionate about this story, because I can relate to wanting to make a difference in students lives and let them see their full potential. One day when I become a teacher; I want to be that person that my students remember.  I want to be able to teach in a way that will make a postive impact on their lives. The end of the book Lee the Neurosurgeon says " You changed my life! Thank you for allowing me to be where I am. Encouragement and Patience- that makes a difference. I'm your student. Forever" (Lee 181).  This story taught me something about having a purpose for our work, and how a teacher has a certain power over students success in life.
                                          " I'm a teacher . It's my passion. And I'm going to 
                                          help as many people as I can, as long as I can, to 
                                          find their passion, too. Thats something that you gave
                                          me back. I'm so happy that I had you as a student" (Al 181)
                                       

While I was reading  Marc Anderson Lawson and his sister Karen Lawson About Their Father, Video Game Inventor Jerry Lawson I felt like I needed to do research on Mad Libs. Marc and his cousin wanted to play video games and His dad made them design a game first. Since Mad Libs was very popular they designed a Mad Libs video game.
Mad Libs is a story game that leaves out Nouns, adjectives, and verbs etc. The players have to fill out the blank space Noun, adjective, verb etc to complete a comical story. The mad Libs game was invented by Leonard Stern. Leonard stern failed the spelling bee because he couldn't spell a certain word. He was so embarrassed that he started learning words and the meaning every night before bed. Through his obsession with learning new vocabulary he started writing for a living. One day Leonard was stuck on one of his book that he was writing. He needed an adjective for a word he was writing for his book. His friend gave him a very funny adjective, and that's when they both discovered they could make a game that could be fun to play at party's. That's how the idea of Mad Libs was invented.Mad Libs

Journal 10 by Matt

Throughout this book there have been many amazing people we have read about. Some have found their passion and their "Calling" in jobs that we would sometimes never even think about. Lately i read about a Beekeeper named Clay Culver. This man grew up from a young age always interested in working with bees and their hives. He talked about the rust it gave him and how there wasn't anything more satisfying then closing that top lid on the hive. Growing up on a farm, we always had a Beekeeper come out and put a new hive on our property every year. I thought it was too cool to watch these Beekeepers and always wondered what made these people what to do a job like that. When I read this I though about all the gear they would wear and how they would be out in the hot summer heat. It was cool to be able to related to this story, and get a real perspective from the job. Clay describes it almost as a thrill when he says "Its like rock climbing, or surfing: when you doing it you don't think about anything else"(Isay 188). This made sense to me because I always thought how cool it would be to do that and not get stung. I looked at it almost as a rush too.

Another Profile I was very interested was Subway conductors. I thought this was a job that was lost over time. When I thought about train conductors, or subway conductors, I thought about the story my grandparents would tell me about how they would always waved as the trains passed intersections. When I read about this I became Intrigued and wanted to learn more. After researching, I found out that conductors do a lot more than just make sure everyones safe. The have jobs such as coupling and uncoupling train cars, Making sure the train is on schedule, barring out routine repairs, and opening and closing train doors. I thought that this job was really cool and I was amazed that they do repairs to the train/subway and couple and, uncouple train cars. This is a job for people that have a love for taking care of people and have a drive to make sure everything runs smoothly.
