Chew On This, Blog 1

Ray Kroc
    I recently started reading Chew On This Everything You Don't Want to Know About Fast Food, the book starts out stating about how the fast food industry started long long ago. Many years passed and McDonald's was born, but it wasn't actually McDonald's it was a fine restaurant with kitchen utensils. After a while the McDonald's brother decided to close their restaurant, but that wasn't it. They then made another restaurant. It was famous for how great the quality was. Then a man from Illinois known as Ray Kroc met up with the McDonald brothers and said that he would build other McDonald's around the United States. Ray Kroc did what he said and McDonald's Became very famous from the decade after the 50's. McDonald's was like a new light. McDonald's was a part that made the USA the USA.
   
    After reading how fast it took to industrialize the United States I realized that how something so small can become so huge in some years. It started from a man in Wisconsin putting meatballs on a bread and putting one over. To restaurants serving them. And after that becoming America's favorite food. And the fact is that McDonald's had a huge part with the industrialization of America. Ray Kroc wanted all of the food to taste the same in each McDonald's in the Unites States. The fries came from the same place and the meat did too. He made companies bigger he bought out many things. He used the same assembly line that Henry Ford used. He made on person grab the bread and put on the patty. From the patty the cheese, lettuce and so on. I think the way Ray Kroc handles the business of McDonald's for the first decade is pretty astonishing.

My Goals of 2015

     In a new fresh start to the School year I have a goal for the rest of my school year. In the last half of school I was failing to listen, to do and of my homework and to turn many assignments on time. I disappointed myself and many other people with my behavior. So this year I am making a goal to do every assignment that is assigned. At the same time I will make myself stay after school every Tuesday and Thursday or when I need any help with any homework or if I'm confused. If I notice my grade going down I will stay after with any one of the teachers to get my grade up.

     Also for the new year I have a goal for myself in soccer. My favorite past time is to practice and play soccer with my friends. Yet not being as good as my friends I still play. It doesn't disappoint me or upset me that I'm not good as them but it makes me feel like a rookie compared to them. My personal goal's for 2015 are to practice more soccer and to pay attention in school (paragraph is above). I feel that if I push myself to practice that it would make me try harder and succeed to my personal goal. I also think soccer wont make it a huge distraction from school.
