DISTRACTIONS! We all have them and so do I. In the summer time when everything is going great but there are still responsibilities I always have a hard time focusing. This time around I have been focusing on FOCUS! That is right focus, the one thing we all seem to have a hard time on. This time around I did not want to focus on a school driven story, but more on a story we can all relate to.
"Hello! This is my first time writing in and I wanted to make sure I have something good for you. I work at Convergy's and I am around people all day long. I feel very bad for trying to act like a manager when I am not, but when I see people on their phones during training I lose my mind! I do not understand why people are always on their phones now even at work! I said something to them but they looked at me as if i had no business, then the manager spoke and it was different. Why is it so hard for people on their phones?"

Thank you so much for bringing this up. When we first enter the work force we may feel as if we should be acting perfectly and professional, when others are not it is frustrating. We should understand our roles as workers and listen to those above us. The reality is that our phones are not just a tool for entertainment, it is also what connects us with loved ones. I remember looking at my phone a lot one day, but my Grandmother was sick, and she was having surgery, so my mind would go to my phone all day even if there was no buzz. These situations are happening, so we have to let the managers make the decisions.
