Our country has gone through some significant changes
during the past decade.
On a more local note, I saw in this morning's paper that
your company's stock is up 1/4 point, and with the
recent changes you implemented, the future
looks very promising.
I typically read the afternoon edition of the newspaper.
In yesterday's paper, I was fascinated by the heroism of
a 14-year-old boy who rescued the two children he was
baby-sitting when their house caught on fire.
It's amazing what people can do when faced with adversity.
John Doe is the senior senator, and Octavia Pollard
is the junior senator.
From all indications, it looks like the economy is taking a
turn for the better.
The Index of Leading Economic Indicators seems more
positive now than it did three months ago, and I
certainly hope the trend continues.
I am one who can get along with most people in
most situations.
However, I had an employee once who stole from our
company and lied about it, blaming the thefts on an
innocent co-worker.
I try to vary my lunches.
I prefer to eat a light dinner, so I usually eat a
heavier lunch.
For example, yesterday, I had a salad and a club sandwich.
Sometimes, I'll eat leftovers from dinner the night before
- I can't stand to see good food go to waste.
I feel confident typing on a computer, though I have not
had the need to use a typewriter for the past
several years.
I am familiar with most business software programs.
In my volunteer work, I've accompanied many groups of
children to the Children's Museum.
I get excited watching them learn, and I usually learn
something new myself.
I spent the most recent weekend with my family.
We attended a baseball game, went rafting, and toured a
local manufacturing plant.
It was almost a relief to get back here
so that I could relax!
I do not get much time to watch television.
I do watch the local and national news every morning.
For entertainment, I like classic comedy shows and
cartoons from several years ago.
I also like nature specials, and black & white movies.
My parents are strong believers that education is
the key to a person's success.
Excelling in school was important to my whole family.
Quite often, we did things together as a family.
Somehow, when we went on camping trips, it seemed like
it always rained.
We brought cards and board games to amuse ourselves
until we could go outside again.
