On The Job

This is Denise Whitney. She works as a second-grade teacher at Meadow Ridge School, which used to be Clover Ridge. She has worked as a teacher for 20 years and is now also the Vice President of the Union for that district. She loves reading in her free time and going to the coast to sit on the beach. 




Taken in the Culinary Kitchen at LBCC on October 22nd.

Jena Albert (left) and Carson Dickenson (middle) with their instructor learn how to make cheese. Their instructor is checking the temperature of the cheese. They both have been working in the kitchen for only a couple of weeks but they both love it. Carson loves how hands-on it is in the kitchen and loves how much they get to do/learn. While Jena had wanted to go to culinary school for a while but couldn't because of personal issues. However, when her parents passed away, she decided that it was the right time and to finally do something for herself.

The Movie Theater for Everyone: The Pix

It was originally a horse stable at first for a long time and then it was a flower shop in the 2000s.  The Pix is a movie theater in downtown Albany. It is owned by Rod and Denise Bigner. They bought it in 2013 from Jeff and Robin Mexico. Rod was a pastor but that wasn't making a lot of money and they had been wanting to buy a movie theater for a while as they both really loved movies and the Oscars. They were originally looking for movie theaters in Oklahoma but then they saw that Jeff and Robin had put it up for sale in 2013 so they sold their house and bought the business.  Parker Johnson has been working at the Pix for 3 years.

Parker loves seeing people come around to the theater and seeing families enjoy their time. At work, Parker and his coworker...

Her male coworkers were getting the brunt of the abuse so she was a little relieved at that, but it was still a very dangerous situation for them all to be in. This whole chapter stood out to me because it was the first time she really feared for what would happen to her and her colleagues. What also stood out to me was that she mentioned how it had become normal for them to be in areas where danger was present, but it was at this moment when it was severe.  With Addario’s work, she really focuses on her subject and the story that goes along with it. Her work is more focused on conflict zones and human rights. Also, how ...
