Learn French before summer starts.
Learn to speak French well before summer starts.
Take lessons twice a week to learn French before summer starts.


My SMART Goal is to learn to speak French well enough to be a fluid speaker by the end of the summer. I will take lessons twice a week and practice with my friend who speaks French. I think this goal is reasonable and timely because I have someone teaching me and someone to practice with at home.

Who won? Why and How?

My side, the no smokers one, won because we had facts to support our statements and we kept on topic and didn't talk about random things just for the sake of arguing.

Questions, Questions

Can an employer choose not to hire you because you are a smoker?
       If it conflicts with your job like if you are taking smoke breaks too often and not getting work done, or if it damages the image of the company like if you were hired to talk to people about the dangers of smoking and then you go out and smoke then it is ok if they don't want to hire you but if they are just personally against smokers then it isn't justified and it's not right.

Can an employer choose not to hire you because you are obese?
       It's the same, because an employer cannot hire someone who cannot complete work requirements so if your weight is an issue and it hinders you from completing your job then they shouldn't hire you. If they are just trying to make everyone look a certain way because they made a judgement call that thinner people work better than overweight people and it is just their opinion then it isn't right not to hire someone.

What went wrong?

Problems we had yesterday were that they don't give you that type of information online, so we couldn't check if they were hireing. Another problem was that we didn't know wich ones other people had so we couldn't all call the same place like 3 times, also we couldn't use our phones or we would get in trouble.

What can we learn from the city job fair?

We learned that we need to inform the people that will be attending about what to expect from the job fair and that they may need to apply online. We also need to have businesses that are hiring. We also need to keep people coming so that the employees don't feel like they are wasting their time and start taking breaks or leave early.
