Internship Inquires

The skills that I wish to display when I first arrive to my internship are my want to learn new thing in a short period of time. I want the employer to see me as someone who is teachable. I might not walk in with all the skills that are expected of me but I want them to know that I’m willing work hard enough so that I can master the skill better than anyone else in the department. One question that I have lingering on my mind as I approach internship would be will I be working independently or with others for the majority of time. I really want to know this because I have to mentally prepare myself for whichever is given to me. I know that I can adapt to whichever is put in front of me but I still would like to know. I hope to work in an environment that I‘ve never experienced before. I want everything to be new so that I have a chance to learn so many new things. Of course I want everyone to be exceptionally friendly and kind. I still want everyone to be very conservative as to keep me up on my toes at all times. I don’t currently have any anxieties about internship except for wanting to make the best impression possible. I fear that I will lack the ability to perform the tasks set out for me for some reason. I know I can do these things; I just need to build confidence and be ready for whatever comes my way.

Going to the gym

I spent a lot of my break going to the gym . People that dont go to the gym never really realize  how fun the gym really is . I love the inspirational classes . I really enjoy going to the afro boggie belly class. The class keeps my energy up and helps me stay positive. I even like going to the gym just to play  basketball. It also gets my heartrate up and moving. Every one at the gym is so williing to help . If i see someone with  a really strong body  i ask them if they could consisder showung me how i could best get that way . Swimming is also a good way to build inner body strength. Two days ago I went to the gym and took the swimming class and first the instructor put on some music to get us happy. Then we stretched in the pool and the fun never stopped from there on. In all i love going to the gym it has so much to offer.

Movie happy

I love the movies but haven't been in a really long time. I'm super happy that i got a chance to go to the movies last night. My friends insisted that  see a film called Sitter. I had no idea what this movie was about , i was in for  it. The movie was about a teenage boy who loved his mother very much so when she decides to get on a date to "get her grove back" he has to baby sit some kids from across town.  These kids are really rich and take advantage of that fact. He wants to go hang out with a girl from school because she promises that if he does whatever she says she will be his girlfriend. In the end of the movie he finds that  his real friends are the kids that he baby sits. I can relate this movie to my life because i often have a hard time with realizing what things are most important in my life . In all i enjoyed this movie and its relation to my life.

My wiinter break was full of  amazing experiences . My friends and fanily  influence me in the best of ways. Im happy I get to spend this time with  my friends and family. Im also very happy  to spend this week and a day with food . This break was filled with sweets and love. No matter how hard i try  i  cant help but to think about my dog that just  passed., For the past 6 months my dog chaos has been having constant  seizers . On tuesday lilttle chaos spent his last night on earth. So on Wednesday night I ran to my back yard and dug  his grave . While I was digging I couldnt help but think of  the book  i recently just read called STIFF. I started to ponder over if gave his body to science how would I like it to be used. Then i stopped my self  and relalized that i could never give  my  sweet chaos to science . I would just imagine his sweet little face as he used to watch me while  I would cook, because he was just oh so sure that would get some. Long story short my dog is my world and I dont know how long its going to take for me to get over copping over his death.

Internship Readiness Blog Post

The qualities of someone who is internship ready are creativity, dependability , maturity and someone who displays an eagerness to learn. I plan to demonstrate internship readiness during module 3 by being creative and speaking up when I have an out of the box but useful idea.I want to show my managers, leaders and that I am dependable by always being on time , meeting deadlines and not missing days of work en less its a life or death situation at hand. I am  going to show everyone that I come  in contact with that I am mature by formulating my questions concise and clearly as to show off my professional skills. I will also let my confidence speak in my work and my poise and refrain from being unsure with humbleness.  

So far the best job Ive ever had was working at Baskin Robbins. I started working here my last year of high school to make a little extra money. Some of my primary responsibilities consisted of scooping ice cream for customers, keeping the establishment neat and clean, and last but not least working the cash register. The job was enjoyable for the most part, I had a innovative spirit. I was led to stay there for two in a haft years. As you could imagine there were some obvious incentives for working at Baskin Robbins. For one me and my co-workers often got free ice cream which is my passion and love. My family members knew how much I loved ice cream since I gained 45 extra pounds. I also enjoyed the connection me and my co-workers had. When It would rain outside we would talk about our lives, dance , sing etc. I became fond of our regular customers. I truly felt like I was making their say when I made the perfect banana split whether it was for couples to share or kids to drop on the floor and leave me to clean. Skills that I developed while working there were  endurance, dedication, and submission. I believe these skills will surely help me on my internship. The worst job I ever had was at California Check Cashing Stores. My role as a teller meant that I had to do data entry, cash checks, give out pay day loans etc. Tax time was the worst time for me. People would come in to the facility attempting to cash counterfeit checks all the time. I would get death threats from some customers if I didn't cash them.My co-workers would leave to the break room and read magazines and flat iron their hair while we had long lines of inpatient customers. There were times where my co-workers would fight and embarrass us as a company. These fights would be long and drawn out with yelling cussing and fighting. so with in a matter of 5 months I quit. I did appreciate learning how to work with others who aren't  the nicest people such as co-workers and customers. I learned how to be responsible for large amounts of money. Over all In so glad I quit because the work environment was not conducive to my professionalism.

The events in the past relate to the future in many ways. Specifically I want to focus on the commonality between the occupy movement and the great depression interpenetrated art piece created by Diego Rivera. Both events involves wealth and the improper use and destruction of it. Even though Diego's piece doesn't depict  a group protesting, the need for it is clearly evident. The government needs to focus on its past in order to be successful in the future. Our involvement in war over the past years has severely hurt our economy as it did in the past.The middle portion of this mural in my own interpretation depicts people who are dead and starving and dying due to starvation. The picture also displays heartfelt sorrow because of the lost of ones possessions. These emotions are for sure simular to todays occupy movement. I thimk the occupy movement is trying to eduacate and make people aware of who holds the power in America. The occupy movement wants us to know that the rich keeps getting richer and aquire more things amongst more privileges. All the while the middle class sinks into the lower middle class and the lower middle class sinks into the poor. The bottom of the mural seem as if it were the begging of the market crash and when everyone started to lose there assets. I infered this from the people being in the bank and having gloomy appearances. Then the middle of the mural shows a security guard watching over the seemingly sick or dead ones. This probably occured after ones who were low class werent able to dish out money for the necessities of life like food shelter and the rest. Finally the top picture suggestes that the buildings are old and not maintained very well. In all the whole mural told a story of the gloomy past that we dont want to transform into a deadly future.
