                                  Today I was interviewed for a job as a receptionist for a doctor's office. Before the interview, I was a tad bit nervous and intimidated but those feelings went away when the interview actually happened. When the interview was going on, I actually felt a little bit more confident and sure that I can get through this.

                                During the interview, I felt relieved that I was getting it over with but I felt amazed at how professional I was. I do feel like there were some parts of the interview where my weaker side came out. For instance, when I was asked how to describe myself I kept fishing for words to say because there are million words that I would use to describe myself.  However, during the interview I was pretty good at describing how good a fit I would be for the job. 

                                    If I had the chance to do the job interview all over again, I would try to be more specific and not show how nervous I was and I would also try to be a little humorous. I am proud that I did this interview because it showed me how to be professional and it sort of prepared me for other interview in the near future. 

              Solitary confinement is a very serious issue that is often taken up for debate. Many people have different opinions on this topic. Some people feel that no matter what the crime is, the prisoner should be sent to solitary confinement. I, however, have a different opinion.
              I feel that being sent to solitary confinement shouldn't be for every prisoner. I feel that it should  depend on the crime the prisoner committed. If the prisoner was arrested something minor such as drug possession or fraud then that person should not be sent to solitary confinement but if the prisoner was a serial killer or a serial rapist then that person should without a doubt receive solitary confinement.
                The Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment from being used. Many people feel as if solitary confinement gives the prisoner mental torture and therefore violates the Eighth Amendment. I feel that solitary confinement doesn't violate the Eighth Amendment because it doesn't kill the prisoner or physically affect them. My opinion is and will always be that if the prisoner committed the ultimate crime then that person shall solitary confinement, which is one of the ultimate punishments.
