week9 task 2

. Take a few minutes to reflect and examine your attitude. Write a paragraph giving an accurate assessment of your attitude. Do you normally react positively or negatively to the situations in your life? Give specific examples.2. Write a paragraph about the attitude you regular display at your service learning placement or on a job that you currently have. Is that an area you could show some improvement in over the next weeks? Give specific examples.3. Write a paragraph expressing how the attitudes of others in your life have influenced you.

With my attitude I normally react negatively to things because I am always expecting the worst. It seems as if when I was younger that every time I got my hopes up about something either something would go wrong or it just wouldn’t happen. So since then I just haven’t been able to think that whatever happened would have a positive outcome. I guess that is why I think the way that I do.

I currently have a job and I have a service learning and I have to display customer service and a positive attitude at both of them whether I am having a good day or not. Even if I don’t want to smile I have to because that’s my job and I am here to do it and I have to deal with people. If they have nasty or snobby attitudes I still have to smile and tell them have a great day.

The attitudes of others affect me sometimes. When I might be feeling down and out and I see someone that may just be happy to see me, then that picks me up a little bit. On the other hand if I am having a good day and someone comes at me with an attitude then that’s not going to do anything but make me mad and then I am going to stat having a bad day just because they brought that negative energy around me. Other than that I try to enjoy life and stay happy.

Week 6 task 2

One way that I can save time in the mornings is to get up earlier than I normally do and not hit the snooze button on my alarm clock. I have to understand that I don’t need to be late for school and I need to get up earlier. Not only do I have to get my self ready in the morning and then I have to make up my bed and clean my room, and just tidy up my bathroom and things of that nature.

If I became overwhelmed with obligations then I would just have to sit down and analysis what needs to be done first and how much time do I have to do it. This is another time where time management plays a factor in it, because if its something major then it needs to get done first, and the smaller things can get done last.

week 10 task 2

Yes I think that I have great communication skills because I am a people person and I love people. I communicate with people at church differently than i would with people at school because its a totally different environment where things are more religious than the public school. I mean i dont think that i need to improve my communication skills but if i could i would learn how to relate to everybody. If you know how to communicate well, then that’s really the key to life. If you don’t know how to communicate then you don’t really need to be out in the real world. In order to get along with people you have to know how to talk to people and get along with people. I learned a lot about my profession. I learned how to make coffee and different types of iced drinks, and how everybody is different in what they like. Some people like more chocolate in their drinks, some like espresso. Some people like caramel and some like strong strong coffee. Some people like burnt bagels and some like them with butter. But you never know because everybody is different. The people that i work with in my profession i really didnt have to get to know them because i work with them on a daily bases and i see them at school, so i didnt have to meet anybody new. The positive experiences that i have is learning how to deal with different types of people and the different likes and dislikes. Some negitive experiences that i have had was with the stealing and me not knowing until later. Alot of people will ask you for free stuff and its hard to say no. Some positive things that i look forward to is the summer and getting out of here.
