Blog #5: Last Week

I am grateful for my privileged life, with the ability to play sports and hangout with friends in my free time, but also spend time with my family.  I am grateful for having all the amenities that many people in the world do not have.  This summer, I am so grateful that I finally got a job, because last summer that was my biggest regret, so I'm so glad I finally am working!  I think by being involved in this 6 week class, it motivated me to not only get a job, but also taught me so many necessary skills that will be extremely helpful in my future endeavors.  Not only did I improve some Work Readiness Skills, such as communicating well and working diligently, but also, through Waybook and the discoveries, I learned what some of my strengths are so I can key into those and use them to my benefit in the future.  I am generally terrible with technology, so this class also helped me learn how to use certain sites such as Google Sites and Waybook, as well as set up a profile on LinkedIn that will hopefully help me get out into the work world in college and after.  This class really helped me set up the foundation for my future and helped me to start thinking about what I will need to accomplish in order to be successful and achieve my goals in life.
