Journal 10- Marysa

I researched what "FIT" was in the subway conductor profile on page 209 because I wasn't sure if it was a college or job or what. I found out that it is Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, New York. When I was researching this I thought that I would find famous people that have went and graduated from here because Paquita Williams mentioned in the profile that FIT sets you up to be the next big thing but I actually couldn't find any famous people that we would know that went to FIT.

I read that New York is the fashion capital of the world and that this is the best school to pursue a fashion career.

Comparing and contrasting The Subway Conductor profile with Paquita Williams and the Ink Removal Specialist with Dawn Maestas and Nicole Mendoza I found that these profiles actually have a lot in common. Paquita loves to make sure people know she is there for them and same with Dawn.  Dawn loves to be there for people that have been through abusive relationships and need to be "free" again by removing the persons name that put them through it. Paquita is there for people that freak out when something goes wrong on the subway."I'm putting on my orange vest and letting you know that if you need me to hold your hand, I'm right there."(callings 212) Paquita has made life long friends being a subway conductor and just being there for strangers has changed the way she looks at life. "I get to help someone seal off one portion of their life and help them enter the next one." (callings 165) Being an Ink removal specialist has helped Dawn stay positive despite what she has been through in the past. They both use what they have been through to help other people. Paquita with the dentist not holding her hand and Dawn with the abusive relationship.
