"Labor Day Weekend"

This weedend is Labor Day . We honor workers on Labor Day.Many companies, Banks and Federal buildings do not open in honor of the holiday. My wekend was busy. I started by working in my garden on Saturday. I enjoy wording in the garden On Sunday I went out with my family to the park,we had a barbecue and had lots of fun. Right now I'm a house wife. I'm not working but of course having a job is very impotant. It give you self esteem.A good employee is a person who is responsible and reliable.Employers like good employees , because that's the only way their business will succeed in the future. I think not having a job is very sterssful,because it makes it hard to pay bills. It also makes it hard to go out places, because I dont have money. I like to work,because it feels nice to be needed and gives the opportunity to your your skills.

"Natural Dissters "

Natural disasters are those that are caused by Mother Nature, like the one we are experiencing in the Los Angeles Natural forest fire even though we are not sure of the cause of the fire. Two firefigters lost their lives , and lots of people lost their properties. Many children are not going ot school because it is not safe. Also we have lost the forest that helps clean the air.Others natural desasters are caused by earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and lightning fires. I personaly experienced the earthquake that hapend in the late 1980's.It was very scary . At first I didn't know what to do. I ran to get my children and ran out of the house. Natural disasters may happen any time . We need to be prepare and always have a plan for the family.
