Assignment #1 - Blog Post
There are three types of communication:
1) Written:
letter: The problem with communicating with a letter is it might get lost and they may never receive it.
email: it might not get there or the person might not read it.
text message: The other person might not have signal or their phone could be turned off.
2) Verbal:
through speech: a phone call it can be a problem because it might have no signal or the battery might be low.
spoken word: face to face it might be a problem because they might be mad at each other and they might start fighting and start punching each other in their face.
Non-verbal:
Hug: it might be a problem because that person might not like to get huged and may think something wrong.
Blink: I've seen guys do that to girls when they want a girls attention so some girls don't like it I personaly don't like it cuz thats really annoying and lame.
Middle finger: its a bad way to communicate but a lot of people use it to express a very rude word.... but its a problem because it might cause a fight.

Topic 11 Cell Phone Etiquette
task #1
Well Im really into my cell phone I don't what I would do without it. the results of my survey were okay I guess it said that Iknow proper cell phone etiquette but that I don't always practice it. But I do sometimes likeif I'm in church I leave my cellphone in my truck because I really respect my parish. But if im at school or at work I just put it on vibrate or silent. I don't answere phone calls or text messages all the times. and I really do know when to use my cell phone and when not to so even though Im all into my phone I know how to respect.
task #3
Well as always I had a good day at my service learning place. My supposly boss which happens to be my uncle really never tells me any rules I have to follow but I know what makes him mad and I try to not make him mad. Like I know that if Im working he would get mad if Im texting so I don't do it. Or if Im working and I waste my time and their time talking to the other workers for a long time. so all those little things I know he doesn't like I try to not do. because I really want to be professional on everything I do.

Attitude
I pretty much have a good attitude at times I’m really friendly and social with people. And as long as nobody makes me mad I’m ok. And by saying that I’m not saying I go crazy and want to fight somebody I’m not that deep but I have no tolerance I get desperate and I try to calm myself when I get mad. I try my best to keep my anger to myself and just deal with it. Listening to music on my I-pod helps me lot calm down.
There are situations were I know I have to control my self and just say what I think to the person that made me mad because my parents educated me with respect and even though that certain person is not respecting me I’m better than that and I’m not going to act trashy.
In my learning service place I’m really nice to everyone they all treat me good and with respect. I do my job and greet people as they walk in the store. I treat everyone with respect especially the costumers so they can be happy to be back and shop there.
Is very important to act well mannered in a job or where ever you are so people can have a good concept of you and maybe help you with reference in a future job or school.
As me if I do happen to get mad at something while I’m in my learning service I take a deep breath and smile and just ignore the case.
In my family me and my brother are the one’s who have a little of a zero tolerance attitude we easily get mad if something is bothering us which I recognize its not good but Its not something I should really worry about because my parents have teach us better and we respect other even if we are mad. We never talk trash to anyone especially in front of someone. Other than that my family is a very funny and nice family who really never fights for nothing they are always laughing and having a good attitude.
task 3: In my learning service place I work in a grocery store. And for that I have to be very social for me to succeed. In the past experiences I’ve had people come up to me and greet me asking for my family and I think that’s very good because they think I’m a very nice person and they like me. I haven’t had any bad experiences yet I do my job and that’s I really worry about. Nobody messes with and I don’t mess with nobody. I respect everybody and they respect me.

#5 -- Learn from Their Mistakes -- "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result." -Albert Einstein
Learning from my mistakes is a really important thing for me because it will help me improve my skill and many important things. But the most important step to accomplish that is by recognizing my mistake, knowing I didn’t do a good job and willing to fix things up by learning thorough my mistake. Asking for help to someone who has experience in that certain job or whatever I’m doing.
For example if you are working as a nurse it would be really helpful to talk to experienced registered nurses or doctors to learn more stuff through experience that they went through.
#6 -- Built Healthy Relationships -- Surround you with others who are like-minded.
In my opinion that’s a very important thing. You can’t be surrounded with a person who is going to distract you while you are working. It will help me a lot to do my job right and it will help me learn more stuff and not be thinking about other things. There might be people who don’t think positive and think way different. They might not even think like me we might have different ideas or thoughts. Working with smart people is very important because it helps you stay focus on what your are doing and it also helps you learn new stuff they might have really good ideas.
#4 --Set High Expectations -- Set goals and work toward achieving them. Know where you want to go, aim high, and you will get there.
This is very important to me because I was a teenage mom. I stayed out of school for a while because I had to take care of my baby but I never gave up.
I tried my best and I set a goal that I would finish school and here I am trying to achieve that goal. I really want to finish school because I want a better future for me and my daughter. I’m trying my best to accomplish my goal I try to get my work done and I put all that I can to accomplish that.
After graduating from high school I want to be a pediatrician physical therapist. I know it’s a long way to go but it’s a goal I’m going to accomplish no matter what. Its going to take hard work but I know I can do it and that’s why I’m here now to finish my high school so that I can go to college and study more and more and achieve the biggest goal of my life.

Attendance and Timeliness
Some ways I can improve my daily schedule is setting a time sheet were I can write down the things I have to do and write down the time I need to do that. For example at 9:00 am I need to be at my doctor’s appointment and 11:00am I need to be at my learning service place and so on. Also I can set up my alarm 15 minutes earlier so that I have more time to do what I have to. I would make sure I have a ride to that place in case I don’t drive. I would manage my time to be there at least 5 minutes before by having everything I need ready so that I don’t waste time.
What would I do if I became overwhelmed of my obligations? I would try to get the most important things done first and I would try to manage my time with all my obligations for example I would leave some for the weekends and others during the week. Have a day for each one and also have free time for myself because that may cause too much stress.
In my internship I help in my family business. Knowing my personality I know I would do a great job opening my own business someday because I am a very energetic and am always happy and smiling and I know people are going to be satisfied. I have the patience to deal with a lot of stuff I have experience with businesses because my family has ran businesses for many years.
In this past week I did some cleaning and some evaluation of stuff, making sure everything was were it’s suppose to be, making everything had the right prices. Also I was shaving the cactus for a while I didn’t really like doing that because it takes a long time to finish one because you have to make sure they are all gone and for you not to get poked by a spine. I know it good for me to learn how to do that because it going help me in my cooking skill someday.
Also I was working in the cashier it was easy because I already knew how to work the cashier. The challenge was memorizing how much each pound for each fruit and vegetable was. For example the potatoes my be 59 cents per pound and the tomatoes may be 79 cents the pound and I have to memorize each vegetable and each fruit. And other stuff likes the drinks and eggs because there are stuff that doesn’t have prizes.
