STEPPING ON NEW GROUND

I think the first skill I will display is the art of small talk. I’m sure the new people I’m working with will want to get a sense of what type of co-worker I am. I am not the best at carrying conversation, so I will be attempting to ask questions. One question I have on my mind is, how exactly will I be learning my new skills during internship? Will it be by their own employees or will they send me to a training course? I hope to work in an office environment that is quiet unless I am involved in any group work. I also hope to work with a manager that has gone through similar obstacles as I have or a manager that is humble but direct. The skill I want to develop is that way I communicate. I want to be able to really break down things, especially to a customer. When I speak I want to sound like a universal language. On the more technical side I want to gain a lot more experience troubleshooting computers. I am really hoping to get a mentor in that. An anxiety I have about my internship is that there will not be as much need for an IT as other companies or that the training I have gained in Year Up isn’t as needed. The way that I plan to stand out is by proving that this is my passion and I will learn quickly, also I will not be ashamed to take on any task that is asked of me. After Internship is over I plan to get a good reference, at least, and apply for other companies. If that doesn’t seem to work for the moment then I will attempt to go back to school to sharpen my skills further in computer technology.

IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME

The winter vacation is finally over and now it's time to return to the scheduled life. I predict my brain will react slowly this whole upcoming week, so I hope the instructors will understand.

I'm thankful for this week off because I honestly haven't gotten a vacation in a while. I had the chance to relax and be as lazy as I wanted to be, at the same time I completed homework here and there. I'm excited to revisit school and get closer to rebuilding a computer desktop. Hopefully, everyone will return with the same energy or more.

2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! The world made it through another year. Is the myth about the world ending true? I don't know. All I'm looking forward to is another positive year toward my better future. My new years resolution is to get a good paying job. I hope everyone enjoyed their vacation off and got to spend time with their loved ones.
