Almost Their

I feel that the one skill that I will be showing first will be my communication skills. I say my communication skills because first impressions are key. The first question that comes to mind for me is to ask how is the work environment and the employees like. I would like the environment to be casual but very productive but at the same time relaxing. I would like for my manager to be calm understanding but stern and fair easy to communicate with a sense of humor. I would love to develop more knowledge in tech because there is so much I don’t know I would like to explore like coding HTML.

Just a few one I have Is making a good impression on my manager for the first time I meet my manager.

The other one is being productive at all time at my internship including talking to employees to learn new skills. I plan to stand out in my internship by all ways seeking feedback, always staying productive

taking advantage of down time by being productive. I do have a plan for after internship my plan is to go back to school for as many certifications I can but if I get hired on I would like to move up the ladder in that company.

Christmas

Christmas for me really is just a time to relax and watch my little brothers go nuts over what they got for Christmas. In many ways I feel that being excited about getting gifts for Christmas is for children.

I feel that Christmas Changed for me at 17. At that age I realized it wasn’t about me anymore, it suddenly became more about my little brothers. For instance, instead of being asked what I want for Christmas I am now told what my little brothers want and how my dad might get everything they ask for. I would rather see a smile on my little brother’s faces then receive gifts. This is a part of growing up and besides its better to give than to receive. Over the next week i will be with my little brother watching them play with their wonderful gifts that their going to receive . The one wish i have is to come back to school and completely earn my internship. The only event I can really think of is,the youngest child in the family puts the star on top of the tree.

Internship Readiness

I feel that someone that is internship ready is, 1. A strong communicator and has confidence in their speech.  2. Someone who has the skill necessary and ready to use at internship. 3. Someone who is professional in the workplace. 4. In any and every situation in the workplace knows how to stay professional. 5. To be on time, last but not least and not to blame anyone else for their mistakes to be accountable.6. To be driven and motivated to get to where they want to be. My plan is to really convert on my feedback of procrastination and following through with completing and turning in all homework. The changes I will be making are every one that doesn’t know how driven I am to get to my goal in life will know and find out how driven I am.

Best & Worst Job

The best job I feel I had was when I was working at a nursing home in Hayward. The best points of the job were that most of the day all I really did was walk around and watch the elderly people play shuffle board and the Nintendo WII for hours at a time. This experience was great for me because I love to see elderly people try to stay active. From this experience working with the elderly I have even more respect for them than I did before because many of them were always giving me words of wisdom and advice on life in so many ways and aspects. However, the worst part of my job was that I had to clean bed pans and change bed sheets. This experience grossed me out in so many ways. The things I would see in people’s beds were just sickening. In a sense I have developed a tough skin for certain things, but I feel I should have spent a longer time with this organization because it was a learning experience in being patient and tolerant of people in this setting. If I had the opportunity to work there again I would ask if they had an opening in a computer field like networking or technical assistance, because I loved the experience I was gaining from the people there and I remember this elderly lady told me, "You live and you learn." 

Occupy movement & Diego Rivera of the great depression mural connection

I feel the mural and the occupy movement have a connection in many ways. The first way I feel they are connected is because in the bottom piece of the mural there is a vault a teller a guard in front of the vault gate people sitting down looking depressed I feel this looks like the people cannot get their money

forcing them to be with out money and depressed. I feel this has a connection because in the occupy movement people are getting all these bank fees just keep to their accounts with these banks putting these people in a financial strain making it harder to make a leaving just like in the mural as a result depressed people sitting on a bench. The second connection is In next piece up there are people crowded laying down in one area with a guard looking over the people. The connection I feel this has with the occupy movement

is for example how the people have occupied a section right outside the embarcadero bart station with tents food and other thing and just like in the mural there is a guard and people crowded occupying one area. The third and final piece has a connection there are a lot of people crowding the bridges and the street. Same I feel is in the occupy movement because there migrating from one place to another in large groups resulting in a mass quantity of people crowded in areas where people trying to get to work.

This is how I feel that there is a connection with the occupy movement and the mural that Diego Rivera

Had painted in the 1930s thank you for reading my blog.

Pre-Write

The community that I have chosen is my xbox live community. This community has many roles we all play video games but some are better then others at certain games some are good at sports games like NCAA football some are good at shooting games like call of duty black ops & some play racing games like Forza Motorsports 3 & 4.

Plus/Delta Of My Self

The deltas that I have for myself are I feel I didn’t do well on either of my test. I feel I should have took more notes and paid more attention in tech class even though I already knew most of the material and the subjects that were taught in class. I feel I should have put more effort into my tech homework, waiting until the last minute to do the assigned homework was one of the reasons why I may get lower than a c in Tech. One more delta is that I feel in the last module I earned way too many infractions and need to do better to succeed in the program.

Pluses I have for myself are that I am getting better with my writing in Business communications class and getting even better over time. I'm very helpful in my tech class helping my colleagues understand what is what in tech class. Being caring in the whole community is improving even though i am a caring person as it is. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog.
