HOMEWORK

It seems pretty linear a definition, but I'm going to break it down for you as to why my heart just jumps at the word. 
Home 
Just about everyone should know what this means. Its the place where your heart is, but more than that it truly is where you can be yourself and do whatever it is your heart desires. For me I live in Alameda, but I consider my home to be my room. Over the winter break I have done a lot of cleaning up and organizing of my room. It now has a really nice night stand and my bed is covered with a futon. This allows me to work on my bed with great ease.
Work
The definition of this word should be a stranger to no one. Yet while I worked on my home I also took great joy working on my Classwork. I took off an extra day and a half so I had a lot to work on. With it not even halfway into the break I feel like I’ve already almost finished all my work. Work may not make a lot of people happy but no one can deny that getting your work done early leaves you very happy and relaxed.
I still have a lot to do with more blog posts to come but for now I just enjoy this and smile.

From Start to Finish

Some of the qualities of a person ready for internship are:Confidence, Professionalism, and attitude. I have confidence in my tech skills and communication capabilities. One example is how I prepare to be in class on time and I give my everything to focus and excel at my assignments. To practice professionalism one must dress to impress. Keep your cool and always have a positive attitude are my heart and greatest strength. In the future I will do what ever I can to stay ahead of the game completing home work before its due  maintaining a routine of going above and beyond the call of duty and move forward in learning languages for humans and computers.

Employment Environment

1. What is the best and the worst job (paid or volunteer) that you have ever had?

• What were some of your primary responsibilities?
• What made the job enjoyable or not?
• What skills did you develop that will serve you well in internship?
• What lessons did you learn about the workplace and yourself?

I’ve had a lot of jobs I’ve liked. My top two jobs would be Cost Plus World Market and Raley’s Supermarket. At Cost Plus I was a sales associate responsible for just about everything from running the cash register to aggregating the inventory. What made this job the most enjoyable job I’ve ever had is how well the team worked. The people in authority were genuine and taught me a lot about the world of retail and work. I learned that one mistake isn’t the end of my job, but I must move forward and grow from that mistake to be better.

While Raley’s was a nice job there were a few hiccups that kind of crawled under my skin. Again I worked as a sales associate, but in a super market the culture was different then a specialty market. I mean for starters there was a uniform at raleys while Cost Plus was very loose with their dress code. Raleys also had a more authoritative line of command whereas Cost Plus had a open and friendly line of command. Raleys was still a wonderful place to work. Everyone there was very friendly and when I left to pursue more education they all wished me the best of luck.

Raleys taught me that education is of the utmost importance, and everyone on a good team will always have your back. Cost Plus taught me that surviving black Friday with your team basically makes you family. If anything, these two jobs have taught me that a job isn’t just you it’s a team of people working together to make that job into a community.
