Internship Plan

I feel that I will have the chance to showcase my ability to work well with others and complete tasks and work well as a team. Also by proving my reliability and work ethics at a high level. The only question I really have is, will I be accepted in the work environment and culture of the company? And will I be stereotyped before they see my work? I would love to work in an open free environment with plenty of room to express my ideas and creativity. I would hate to work in an environment with nothing but close minded people who aren’t open to suggestions and feedback. I feel I will work well under an energized manager who looks for effort more than mistakes, because we all make mistakes in life. While at my internship, I hope to develop the skills of being social and networking in any environment. At my internship I plan to stand out by staying late, going above and beyond expectations, and treating every day at work like it could potentially be my last. My plan after internship is to apply my knowledge from the learning and development phase and my internship and apply it to my future jobs and my everyday life.

Christmas Break 2

My family is the type of  family that doesn't check on one another. The only thing we did as a family is watch sports over the Christmas break and watch the Oakland Raiders lose to the San Diego Chargers. Everybody was upset and confused about the performance of their team and their efforts. This crushed my family's hopes and their playoff dreams. I actually thought it was funny that the Raiders lost because I'm not a true fan anyway. I was sad because most of my family left after the game and I felt like we should have spent more time as a family together. I don't feel like the time we spend together should be based on watching a sports game or the end of a T.V show. The moments were good while they lasted and I'm thankful to have family members that actually care about me, even if we rarely see each other.

Christmas Break

I finally got a chance to exercise and play basketball over the break and it was a great feeling. I got a chance to relieve stress and take my frustrations out on the court. It had been over a month since i had played and that isn't usually like me. I played for at least 3 hours and Jay Hammonds joined me as well. I also played a game of baseball ass well during the break. I usually don't play baseball, but i was invited and it was an offer i would not refuse. The most difficult part was trying to catch my breath because i was a little out of shape. This has motivated me to become more involved in my basketball community and exercising a lot more. I love to stay fit and stay healthy as a part of my healthy routine.

over the break

Over my Christmas break i spent time with my family from out of town. We all enjoyed a nice meal and each others presence. It felt so long since i seen my family and it was actually a special feeling. We all learned what has been going on in everybody's life and all the recent news. This was a perfect opportunity for me to explain Year Up and what it has to offer students. They were so proud me and i felt honored to be a part of the Year Up community. Some moments I wish could last forever, but this Christmas i will cherish everyday in my memory.
