Two ways I used the Work Readiness skills at my internship in a positive way that could support my success is by always having a good attitude, and acting professional at all times. One day, a man called MAP and was very angry which was making me upset because he wanted someone that was not available but I remembered I had to stay calm because since I am at the front desk I represent the organization. I also thought that maybe the person was just having a bad bad so I tried to not let it get to me and keep a positive attitude. Being professional helped me succeed because your showing that they could trust you with some tasks which leaves a good impression to all the workers.

I have set many new goals for myself this upcoming school year. My biggest priority is getting my work done on time, and not leaving it until last minute. By doing this, I will be able to turn in my best work and not have it rushed. My goal is to make school my main priority because it is going to pay off, but in order to make this happen I need to take small steps. Everyday, when I come home from school the first thing I will do is start on my homework so that I don’t have to stay up at night working on it. Some bad habits I have are: not turning in my best work, working on homework at night when I am tired and turn in late work. Turning in my work has definitely improved over the past few months but I know that starting this year, everything will be turned in on time to the best of my ability.

I am very grateful for having the opportunity to take this career class because it help think more about my future and what I really want to do later on. It got me thinking about how much my parents have worked to be able to have enough money to live off of and how in the future I would soon have to know how save up money to afford everything I really need and if there is anything left maybe use it for something I want. I am grateful that I got the chance to start my internship and learn what it's like to take care of many children and not just two or three. Even though it has only been one day at my internship I am very grateful that I got the chance to start and I will continue to go there and learn a lot more.

I am grateful for my family and friends, without them I wouldn't have the motivation to become better. My internship was full of great new people and I'm grateful for meeting every single one of them. They all have a little story they want to share. I am grateful for the whole class experience, without it I wouldn't know anything about a cover letter, resume, and how to dress/act at a job. This program has helped me a lot and made me realize a lot. Thinking about the money we'd be earning and spending is very important and I wouldn't be thinking about it if it wasn't for this class. I am grateful for this class because it opened my eyes to the real world. I am grateful for my internship and the class because it benefitted me a lot. They both kept me active throughout the summer and I learned from both experiences.

I am grateful for my everyday for my family and friends, for waking up every day and learn new things, for being able to speak other languages and see things in another way. This summer I am grateful that I got a internship at the YMCA and was able to work with new people, learn about career pathways and have a productive summer. I class I was able to learn more about myself and to do resume, cover letter and many other things to help my future career. For my internship I was able to learn to be patient and be dedicated as I worked with kids. I learned that communication and dedication is very important skill to have in this type of work place. Overall, I am grateful that I had a productive summer with the help of Mr. Davison that I also grateful for finding me this amazing internship at the YMCA and for the Career Pathway Academy for teaching me professionalism and work skill for the future.

I am grateful for the people, both friends and family that I surround my self with, they are very supportive of my decisions, I am also grateful that I got to know the people at my internship. I am very lucky to have had the hands on experience of hat a job feels like because a lot of people don't get the chance because they don't know about it or are to lazy to do anything during the summer. I am grateful class taught me how to improve my resume and showed me what a cover letter was because I honestly had no clue what a cover letter was. I am also happy that I created A LinkedIn  profile because that also shows a future employer that I am serious and there aren't many teenagers with these profiles so I am ahead of the game. I have learned to be less shy because if you are more open than it shows you are more social and aren't afraid.

What did you learn about yourself? I learned that I am a very tolerant and patient person, because even though sometimes the children at the camp were just getting on my nerves I was calm and and tolerant of them. I am also somewhat organized and I can improve my self so one day  I can say I am very organized.

How did reflecting on what you learned (Discoveries) make you think differently about yourself? I am not perfect but I do have some qualities that add up and make me a good, reliable person as a friend and in the work field.

Consider lessons you were able to learn both technical or people skills. I learned how to use Blogger which I didn't know about before and also google slide which will be helpful in my future assignments. I learned that you have to be patient around children and that your employer likes it when you communicate with your customers or in my case the children.

I am very lucky for the opportunities I was given this summer because not many people get the chance to do something like this. This will be great for my resume and I gained knowledge being apart of the Internship and the Class. I am grateful for what life has given me.

There are so many things I am grateful for. I am grateful for my family, my friends and everything I have been given. This summer I am grateful for being accepted into this class, and being able to intern at the YMCA. In this class I am grateful for learning how to make a cover letter and a resume. At the YMCA I am grateful for the opportunity to work with children, which will help me with my long term goal. I leaned that I am very ambitious and diligent based on the value test. I am very grateful to learn about technical skills such as using blogger, linkedin, waybook, and google sites. I learned from the work readiness skills I am very tolerant and I work well with others. For example, I am tolerant at YKids because I deal with crying babies every day while maintaining a calm attitude. I work well with the employees, it almost feels like I have known them for years. These are a few things I am grateful for and a few things I learned.
