I would love to become close to them and watch them grow. I have always wanted to become a chef, or something close, because I love cooking and food in general.

For almost six years I worked for you as the bather of your small pet grooming business. Recently, I have been thinking about the training I received for the job and how it affected me as an employee. I am writing you this letter to explain the aspects of the training that were very effective and how you can continue to leverage them to produce great employees and an overall high-quality service. I also am going to discuss what I think lacked in the training process and how it could be improved…
Animals are stupid. They live off basic instincts and some of them rely completely on humans for their survival. An animal is not capable of thinking intellectually, but can be trained to perform basic tasks that may fool you into thinking they are just so smart! You are an animal.

Like a dog you are given rewards for completing tasks, and this behavior doesn’t change as you…
