The interview went well. It's been a long time since I had formal interview like this afternoon. They asked me why do I want to switch from working with women and children from domestic violent background to substance abuse field.
I told them sometimes the population from domestic violent come from substance abuse background either by their spouses or themselves. It's connected at certain level. And it's good if I'd be able to work with women and children from different environment.
As a waitress, I've learned a lot of people's behavior and attitude while serving them. This is the experience I wouldn't trade with anything.
The interview took one hour. I got off at Prudential stop and took an elevator to Barnes & Nobles. I'm doing pretty good with my promise. The urge was still there, but wasn't as strong as a month ago.
While browsing at Native American section, I noticed the familiar face on the book cover. I took the book from the shelf. Its two inches paperback. I looked at the man on the cover again. Yes, I saw him before. As a matter of fact I see him more than a dozen times in action.
His black eyes, strong cheekbones and proud expression. I saw him in my mind swinging his long gun with agility only a Native Warrior could possess it. The handle of the gun went high in the air and hit Magua's body. Magua looked at Chingachgook's face in surprise. I oculd hear the flesh smashed and bones cracked by the metal.
He didn't expect Chingachgook would be that fast. Magua looked at the gore on his body and with a swift motion Chingachgook kicked Magua down the rocky mountain as Magua did to his son.
Later he stood at the edge of mountain facing the sun, his adopted son Hawkeye and Cora on both of his side. He prayed for his dead son. The last phrase I've always remember he said, "................I am the last of Mohican."
This is the last scene from The Last of Mohican , my all time favorite movie. I watched it over and over again and I never get tired of it.
The man on the book cover is Russel Means.
I flipped through the book and I came to this page that I found it enlightening.
Russel Means wrote. "Perhaps it's because being an Indian means not thinking about doing, but simply being."
I'll definitely get this books when my curfew is over.
