Where I want to be in ten years is out of college and in to my career that i want to do. I want to be a vet tech in ten years. I want to have a good life and make the best for my life and for my kids when i have them. I want the best for me and my family in ten years.


Task 3: Blog Post: Service Learning Weekly Journal

My experience with my service learning is good. I'm learning that it is good to care for others and do the best you can for them. I have learned that I should care about my community, and see that there are a lot of problems in my community. In my service learning I learned to make blankets for people effected from the earthquake. Learning to do that makes me see that they will love it in the long run to know that someone actually cares for them.
I love doing this for other people. Because when you do something good for someone else you will get something good in return. I love this service learning and I'm glad that I am able to help other people out in their time of need.

topic 5


My experience at my job is really good. I learning how to make the rap packs for the doctor and also how to clean the tools. I've learn how to run the steam machine for the pack raps. I have also learned how to put the animals in the cage and how to help with the med. I have been around to learn the positive experience that you need to work in a place like that. You have to be positive because you might have some mean people come in and you just can't be mean to them so we have to stay positive. But its just a lot of fun being able to work there. The experience that I get there will help me with what I want to do with my life when I grow up. Just being around them little animals just make my day so much better.

Topic 8: Workplace Safety

Task one
What we have to be safe about is not hurting the animals while we are moving them back to there cages and also not hurt yourself but carring them back there. You always have to watch out what your doing there because you are around animals and you have to make sure they don't hury you in any kind of way. But you also have to be safe walking around the place because we are always mopping something up. You have to watch you safety and also the safety of things around you.

Task two
The best way to be safe at my work place is to not mess with the animals when they are about to fix it because some of the animals will turn and bit or anything just so you will leave them alone. You just have to look out for your safety and the animal safety at my workplace. When you around them cleaning do not use something that would hurt them when you are cleaning. You just have to becarful around the animals. They can get sick really easy. Also make sure that you are safe and the other people are safe. Just look out for everyone thats what i do at my workplace to keep everyone safe.

My experience this past week there was helping them clean up and take care of the animals. I had to help feed the animals. Just being around the animals just makes me happy. The girls up there let me help with alot of stuff. I do a lot of things but i can't do much. But Im just glad to be working there for awhile.

Topic 6: Attendance and Timeliness

Task 2:
Time Log.
1. My mom wake's me up
2. I get in the shower
3. Get dressed
4. Eat.
5. Brush my teeth
6 Get in the car and leave for school

Task 3:
I: Discuss a variety of ways you can implement time management into your daily life.
The way that I can implement time management into my life is by being somewhere on time and not being late and also getting up on time for something. I just should have more time management so I can have a successful future at a job. Being late and waking up late is not good. You have to have all that figured out before you can really get a job. Late to work is a bad thing you can get fired for that. Waking up late really isn't a good excuse when you are working or even going to school. The way that I can improve that is by doing everything the day before. Just by getting clothes out the night before and sitting an alarm clock so I can wake up on time. I really need to improve on that. I should just be more organized. If I would put that into my life then I would have good time management. Which now I know that I really do need to have good time management.

II. What would you do if you became overwhelmed with obligations?
School and work is an important obligation. Being obligated is really the person problem. Yes you can have too many of them that just means you need to cut back on some of them. Just the important ones should come first. You shouldn't really be obligated to someone that you can't beep a promise to because that will make them mad at you. So just don't make to many obligations that you can't handle at a time.

Email, Written on a piece of paper, Texting.

Verbal communication
Speaking to someone, Talking on the phone,

Non-verbal communication
Using your hands, Eyecontact, Clothing.


Task 2

Do you think you have good communication skills?
I think that I have good communication skills. I communicate good with everyone. I have have to have good communication skills to get a good job and to get through life. With out the communication there really isn't a point to try to get a job because you have to have good communication skills to get the job your appling for.

Do you think you communicate effectively and efficiently with everyone you encounter?
Yes I think i have effectively and efficiently with everyone. When I do that it makes them understand what Im saying and its just a better way to communicate then to be negative when I communicate with people. The people I encounter are the people that are important to me and they are the people that I work around.

Do you communicate differently with different groups/kinds of people? If so, why?

Yes I communicate differently with different people I hang out with. I just communicate the way they do. I can get very loud when I communicate with different people. So its very hard to communicate the way i usually do when i at school or at a work place.

Do you see ways you could improve your communication skills?

Yes I can improve my communication skills. I can communicate in the wrong way sometimes. When having a fight with a parent I don't communicate very well. I need to communicate better with them so I can understand what they want me to do and what I should be doing. Communication is very good to have with people and I need to improve my communication skills with parents and friends.

My experience at my work place is really good. I love it there I get to help out the the animals. I also get to watch them do the surgery. I get to carry the animals back to there cages but some of them i dont touch because they are wild animals. I just love being around all the animals and being there just makes me want to work with animals wheni get out for high school.

Topic 9: Attitudes

Task 2

Pargraph 1 Do you normally react positively or negatively to the situations in your life?

I usually act negative to the situations in my life. Thats just how I've always been. Acting negative to the situation should not be the way anyone acts. Even if the situation is a bad one you really shouldn't act negative to it. You should always positive to the whole situation. Thats what i should do is think positive to the situations. Being negative does not make a difference, acting positve can make a difference.

Pargragh 2 Is that an area you could show some improvement in over the next weeks?

I can show improvment with my attitude at school or the work place. The attitude that I have can be a good and can be a bad one. So if I improve that then i can get through school or work with out thinking negative. The way to go is to have a good attitude on the situation. Me acting negative to the situation will not prove anything. So I need to improve my attiude so much to get through my life.

Pargraph 3 How the attitudes of others in your life have influenced you.

The attitude of other is a big infuence on me. I start to act the way they do. I should have my own attitdue oon the situation. The way they act is their own attitude. Not just acting like them is bad. But being around them all the time can make you think negative like they do. So you should e your own person not what other people want you to be. I need my own attitude on the stuff not others peoples.
