David Cucinotta ENG 15

          Working for a fast-food company almost makes you memorize the menu of that company’s food menu. Whether or not you’re making food, cleaning dishes, or managing, it is imperative that you know what that company sells. Working at Saladworks, you would think I’d know exactly what is on their menu. You’d be wrong.               Most people know exactly what a menu at a fast-food place or restaurant, just based off how often society buys cheap and inexpensive foods on the go. What first comes to mind for me when thinking what would be on a food menu is; -Food name -Price (of food) -Quantity (of food) -Restaurant’s name -Description of food                       These are the basics to a menu, and what comes to mind when I think about browsing a menu.

Using asterisks and bullet points can help remind you where important main ideas and words are located in the writing. Also, noting the sentences/paragraphs that you DO and DON'T agree with can make you better understand a writing ( paint a better picture ). In the body of the writing it can also be important to find evidence to back-up what the author is stating. Following these steps helps create a larger image of what the writer's objective was, therefore giving the reader a much better understanding of what they truly meant. 

Hi, I’m David Cucinotta, currently a freshman at PennState Abington and eighteen years old. Most people call me “ Cuch ” because they can’t pronounce my last name ( and it caught on ). Feel free to call me that. I grew up in Fox Chase, Philadelphia until I was fourteen and moved to Huntingdon Valley. I attended Roman Catholic High School located in downtown Philadelphia. I play baseball (third base/first base) as well as basketball (center). I have a Bayliner 245 boat, on the Delaware River, located at Dredge Harbor Marina. Boating, deep-sea fishing, crabbing, and going to the beach are my ideal free-time hobbies. I’m a football fan and don’t miss a single game during regular season. As of right now I work at Saladworks in Southampton as a part-time job. I whip up mad salads so stop by.
