Winter Break (to be continued)

Winter break has been amazing so far. I'm pretty much worry free and baby free. Although I miss my son so much its a relief not to have to tend to my motherly duties every day. Christmas was great. I ate lots of delicious food and relaxed most of the day. To top it all of I got more gifts than I expected. The only thing I wish that I could change about my break so far is that I have not been able to sleep in as long as I would like to. My body is programmed to wake up early because of Year Up and now I can't sleep in to save my life! I wold love to sleep in until 12 o'clock just one day of this break!

Internship Readiness

I think that the qualities of someone who display internship readiness are dependability, honesty, and a positive attitude. In module 3 to demonstrate imnternship readiness I need to be at Year Up everyday on time prepared and ready to learn. Also even when I may be in a good mood I tend to sometimes look like I'm not. People often ask me whats wrong or if I'm okay so this tells me that I need to smile more or appear to be in a good mood.

Best/Worst Job

The best job I’ve had would be being a parent to my son. I love this job because it is both paid and voluntary. It’s voluntary because I chose to do this job even though I knew from the beginning that it would be a struggle. Also I am paid on a daily basis by seeing that my son is healthy and happy. My primary responsibilities are to feed, clean, and teach my child right from wrong. What makes this job enjoyable is seeing my son smile and laugh, because it shows me that he’s happy. Some skills that I have developed doing this job that will serve me well in internship are patience, listening, and being thorough. Some lessons that I have learned parenting are that you can’t solve every problem alone and that nobody is the perfect parent but if you are worried about being a good parent you generally are one because you are showing care. My worst job was volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club in Hayward. My primary responsibilities were to watch over a assigned group of children, plan and execute daily activities, assist in serving snacks and lunch, and keep my designated area clean. What made this job enjoyable was that I got to sit down for the majority of time I was on duty.
