MOM IS MY COPILOT.:/.:LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!

MOM IS MY COPILOT

in the first artical it talks about being a teen and relying on your parents support and help. well
that sounds a lot like me. I'm in high school and my parents support me in every thing i do. i would say there awesome parents because they help me so much. but when i get to college i want to be left alone see if i can actually do it by my self. but here it says that among high schoolstudents who are planning for college 60% of them said they are satisfied with there parents level of help.
28% said they want parents to be more involved, 9% didn't offer an opinion, and 6% want parents to be less involved.well if I'm in college i wouldn't really mind.

LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!
in the next artical they talked about video resume. to show off there communication and there creativity skills. this sounds fun but what if they have a question and you can answer. i know they will have q's. just make sure when you are doing a video resme you will be professional, be concise, convey enthusiasm, and balance creativity with professionalism. remember to only use at the most 3 minutes of there time. this would be an advantage because you could show them things you could on paper, which is awesome.

well in conclusion i liked these articals very much. it's so interesting and it does relate to high school students all over.

WHERE DO I GO WITH BIOLOGY?


DO YOU KNOW WONDER HOW A KITTEN PURRS, WHY LEAF CHANGES COLOR OR WHAT MAKES A PERSON SNEEZE? I ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW WHY A KITTEN PURRS. I ALWAY THOUGH IT JUST DOES THAT TO GET ON YOUR NERVES...RIGHT? BIOLOGY IS THE STUDY OF LIFE. YOU NEED TO HAVE GOOD MATHEMATIC SKILLS ALSO COMMUNICATION SKILLS. THERE IS DIFFERENT WAYS TO BE A SCIENTIST AND THESE ARE JUST A FEW...
OUT SIDE THE LAB:
GENETIC COUNSELOR- THESE PEOPLE WORK WITH FAMILY TO TEACH THEM ABOUT INHERITABLE CONDITIONS AND INDENTIFY THE RISK OF BIRTH DEFECTS.FOR EXAMPLE I HAD THIS SCIENCE TEACHER NAME MR. GALABRUN AND HE TOLD US A STORY ABOUT HIS FRIENDS. THEY BOTH HAD DARK BROWN HAIR AND BROWN EYES. BUT THERE BABY CAME OUT WITH RED HAIR AND BLUE EYES. BOTH SIDE OF THE FAMILIES HAD A PERSON WITH RED HAIR AND BLUE EYES. IT WAS INHARETED TO THE BABY THAT WAY.
SCIENCE/TECHNICAL EDITORS- THEY EDIT THERE OWN MAGAZINE OR NEWSPAPER ABOUT A SCIENTIC OR LAB STUDIES OR SOME THING.
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWYERS- HIPPIE PEOPLE THEY CARE ABOUT THE ENVOIRMENT, HELPS SAVE THE PLANET, TREE HUGGERS AND ANIMAL THAT ARE ENDANGERED SPECIES.
NURSES- THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE WELL VERSED IN BIOLOGY. THEY ALSO NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE HUMAN BODY WORKS.
SCIENCE TEACHERS- THE CHEAP ONES WHO MAKE YOU STAY AWAKE DURING CLASS...JUST KIDDING. THEY ARE ALWAYS NEEDED AT ANY SCHOOL. THEY NEED TO KNOW HOW THE HUMAN BODY WORKS AND THINKS. THEY ALSO NEED TO BE WELL TRAIND FOR THIS POSSITOIN.
CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH
PATHOLOGISTS-PEOPLE LOOKING FOR CURED FOR DISEASES.
ONCOLOGIST-THEY STUDY CELLS THAT FORM TUMORS.( I DIDNT KNOW THAT CELLS DID THAT KID OF THING...)
IMMUNOLOGISTS- THESES PEOPLE SEARCH FOR WAYS TO STOP ALLERGIES AND TO IMPROVE THE ABILITY TO RESIST DISEASES.
INDUSTRIAL/ BIOTECHNOLOGIST-THESE SCIENTIST MAKE UP NEW MEDICINES. COMBINE WAYS TO DO BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH.
BIOINFORMATIC- IMPROVES WAYS TO HELP IMPROVE RESEARCH.
MICROBIOLOGISTS- STUDIE TINY THINGS THAT LIVE IN SIDE LIVING THINGS.

NATURAL RSOURSE SPECIALISTS- THEY MANAGE AND PROTECT WILDLIFE, FISH, HABITAT, AND RECREATION AREAS.
WILDLIFE BIOLOGIST-THEY STUDY WILD ANIMALS IN THERE HABITATS. REASONS CLUES TO THERE PROBLEMS. THIS JOB SOUNDS SO FUN...ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIKE ANIMALS.
PARK RANGERS- KEEPS EYE ON THE PARK. DON'T LET ANYONE TOUCH THE ANIMALS IF THEY DON'T WANT TO BE. JUST THE SAFETY OF THINGS.
I DIDN'T KNOW THERES SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO BECOME A SCIENTIST. THESE JOBS ALL SOUND LIKE SO MUCH FUN. (I SOUNDED LIKE A WHITE LADY THERE...HA HA HA)

~eCoLoGY BY DeSiNG~ BY: B eRYL GoLDBeRG

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF EARTH FRIENDLY CLOTHES? HUMMM...... SOUNDS WEIRD. CLOTHES THAT HELPS THE PLANT...DO WHAT? WELL IT SAYS HERE THAT THIS LADY NAME JENNY HWA HAS HER OWN LINE OF WOMANS FASHION CLOTHING. "WORKING WITH THESE DESIGNERS GAVE ME A GREAT UNDERSTANDING OF THE CRAFT AND DESIGNER'S ROLE," SAYS HWA. SHE HAS HAD THE BEST PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITH THE DESIGNER'S OF MAJOR CLOTHING COMPANIES. BUT THEN WHILE WORKING WITH THEM SHE FOUND OUT THAT THESE DON'T USE EARTH FRIENDLY MATERIAL...WHAT? SO SHE STARTED HER OWN LINE OF ECO-CLOTHING FOR WOMAN. SHE EARNED THE RESPECT AND THE PRAISE OF HER CLOTHING LINE FROM THE MAGAZINE EDITORS.
WELL I GUESS YOU COULD MAKE ANYTHING OUT OF ANYTHING... RIGHT? I WOULD OF NEVER THOUGH BEING SO MUCH OF A HIPPIE COULD GET YOU PLACES...(THAT WAS A COMPLIMENT).

..*~CREATIVE? YOU? YES!~*..

"MOST JOBS REQUIRE A LOT OF CREATIVITY. THE GOOD NEWS: YOU CAN TAP INTO YOUR OWN INVENTIVE IDEAS. HERE'S HOW..."

CREATIVITY: THE MOST IMPORTANT IN ABOUT EVERY COMPANY. WHAT IS REALLY SURPRISING IS THAT PEOPLE IN BANKS AND HOSPITALS NEED TO BE CREATIVE. BUT FOR WHAT? IT DOESN'T SAY BUT NO MATTER WHAT COMPANY POSITION THEY WORK ASS THEY NEED TO BE CREATIVE. THEY COME UP WITH WAS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS FIX THINGS, MAKE THINGS LOOK GOOD. YOU DIG?
MYTH:CREATIVITY IS FOUND ONLY IN THE ARTS.
FACT:CREATIVITY SHOWS ITSELF IN EVERY FIELD- INCLUDING SCIENCE, POLITICS, AND BUSINESS.


BEING CREATIVE DOESN'T MEAN LIKE MAKING A PAGE ON MYSPACE, WRITING A SONG OR A POEM. THINK ABOUT IT WHAT CREATIVITY REALLY MEANS. CREATIVITY IS THE COMBINATION OF TALENT AND EFFORT THAT PRODUCES AN OUTCOME OR A PRODUCT THAT IS BOTH NOVEL AND USEFUL.
MYTH: ONLY GENIUSES ARE CREATIVE.
FACT: EVERYONE IS CREATIVE


YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A GENE TO BE CREATIVE. BEING CREATIVE IS MAKING THE WORD GENIUS. GET IT? BEING CREATIVE IS LIKE HAVING NO HANDS AND THINKING OF YOUR OWN WAY OF WRITING, DRIVING, FEEDING YOUR SELF,ECT,ECT. RIGHT? ANOTHER CREATIVE THING IS MAKING A SOLAR POWERED CAR. ANY ONE COOL THINK OF THAT.
MYTH: BEING CREATIVE WON'T IMPROVE YOUR LIFE.
FACT: CREATIVITY ENRICHES LIFE.


THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE... PEOPLE BUY YOUR INVENTIONS. YOU MAKE BIG BUCKS FOR THEM BUYING WHAT YOU CALL YOU OWN. USING MYSPACE... SHOOT GO AHEAD MAKING TOM RICHER. BUYING RECHARABLE CARS GO RIGHT AHEAD... MAKE THAT MAN OR WOMAN RICH. THIS INVENTIONS IN RICH YOUR LIFE. BEING CREATIVE IS NOT A BAD THING. ITS AN AWESOME THING.
MYTH: CREATIVE OUT PUT COMES AS AN "AHA!" MOMENT.
FACT: THERE'S NO MAGIC. CREATIVITY CAN ALMOST ALWAYS BE TRACED TO HARD WORK.

"EVEN WHEN SOME THINKS AN IDEA FOR A SOLUTION CAME AS ASUDDEN FLASH OF BRILLIANCE, HIS OR HER MIND HAS ACTUALLY BEEN WORKING ON SOLVING THE PROBLEM THE PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME," SAYS SAWYER. ISN'T THAT FUNNY. NOW YOU CAN TELL YOU TEACHER OR FRIENDS, FAMILY THAT THEY HAVE THERE LITTLE "AHA!" MOMENTS... THEY'VE BEEN THINKING OF IT FOR A LONG TIME. MAKE THEM FEEL DUMB.
MYTH: CREATIVITY PEOPLE ARE LONERS.
FACT: CREATIVITY PEOPLE THRIVE WHEN THEY BRAINSTORM AND WORK WITH OTHERS.

PEOPLE ALWAYS GIVE YOU THAT YOU CAN DO IT! RIGHT. YOU DON'T NORMALLY DO IT BY YOUR SELF. THINGS YOU TRY BEFORE WILL HELP YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT NOT TO DO OR DO IT WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT. KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
GET FIRED UP!
HAVING A ROLE MODEL HELPS YOU SHAPE OUT YOUR FUTURE. IT HELPS YOU TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOU WANT TO BE OR WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE. SO LOOK UP TO SOME YOU CAN TRUST A GOOD PERSON. BE CREATIVE ON WHO YOU WANT YOUR LIFE TO BE LIKE. IT ALL IN YOUR HANDS YOUNG GRASS HOPPER. (I ALWAYS WANTED TO SAY THAT)

~+.:~C.O.D CAREERS ON DELIVERY~+.:~

Borys Dudar retail sales associate at a local post office branch loves his job working for. he started way back in 1985. shoot if you worked at a place for that long wouldn't you get tired of it? i know your thinking about it but the "yes" popped up in your head. he must really like that job. well in this artical thats what is what he is trying to say. "there are so many opportunities for promotion. it's amazing," he said. starting pay begins at typically in the mid-$20,000s. this is so cool read this "the USPS offers a full benefits package, including health insurance, paid vacations, and retirement savings. Another perk: job security" Career World(21). "i call it my safe hevan, because you see a lot of [companies] going out of bussiness and downsizing, but the post office is always going to be there," said Dudar.

WHAT JOBS ARE AVAILABLE?

theres CARRIER- this person delivers and collects mail on foot or by vehile, providing customer service in prescribed area. the carrier could have the higher class, middle class or the lower class route.

Mail-processing clerk- this person operates and monitors automated mail processing equipment or manually sorts mail. this person gets bundels of mail and ships to another unit or another area.

Mail Handler- this person handles the mail. he/she gets all the mail and transports and empties equipment throughout the building and opens and empties container of mail.

Sales, Services, and Distribution Associate- this person works right with the customer with selling stamps mailing out boxes of mail. this person could get away with out having the college degree only having the high school diploma.

People like working at the post office. i guess you could say that this is fun because it does sound like it the way these people talk. 'll just take there words.

WHAT'S NEW, INTERVEIW

Did you dream about the interview of you life…I tried but didn’t happen like I wanted it to…just kidding. I was there though… I was in front of a judge I…think. But any ways my dream job is to work in a prison…”ha ha ha” not to be in prison but to work there. I knew what you were thinking. And then all of a sudden that one judge became 3 other people. Wasn’t I scared??? At least they didn’t put me right to work. I had lots of training to do first.

TRADITIONAL INTERVEIWS

Traditional Interviews only happen to the ones I call lucky. The young ones like me…because I am lucky. In a traditional interview its usually the boss or head manager who does the questions. Sounds like fun but think of what questions the might ask. I never in my life had to do and interview. Maybe once but that was to help this lady with her college school work. But remember that if you one of us lucky ones make sure always, always , always have a POSSITIVE ATTUTUDE. This positive attitude stuff could get you any where in the world, just show it.

TECHNOLOGY INTERVEIW

A technology interview sound more like me. I’m one of those crazy don’t look at me when I’m talking kind of people. I’m more open with my self when I don’t know who I’m talking to. Know what I mean jelly bean? Any ways in technology interview they use phone, e-mail, or even (IM) instant messaging. Remember when your using the phone doesn’t forget to grab a paper, pencil, quite location, resume and the phone. A few tips they give you is don’t sit…stand why? Because when you stand you think more quickly. That’s cool because you don’t want your boss or manager to think you’re a total idiot that’s really slow. You also sound more confident. And don’t act like your funny when you’re using IM. Please they don’t want to hear your not funny jokes (Ha ha ha that reminds me of my brother). So don’t put no motional icons in your writing and don’t put no abbreviations like “lol’s”, “nvm”,”brb”, ect. You know what I mean. Sound like you smart and you not on the gosh darn computer all the time. THINK!!!

PANAL INTERVEIW

A panel interview is when your fate is in many other people’s hands in to getting this job. I know you want this job so show them with you positive attitude and you’re your recommendations. You know what I mean. A panel interview is just to show how you work with people. So be friendly. But this only comes like when you get out of high school. So come on don’t be shy!

WORKING INTERVEIW

One of the worst interview yet… make sure you ask questions about this one. A working interview is when you are told to do some thing that hard your really working though could you do this? Well on the article is says that this woman had to go door to door selling these things boxes and boxes of stuff in high heels. Please I can’t even walk in high heels. Just ask questions like “what do I have to do,” or “is it an all day thing.” You go it people.

STESS INTERVEIW

Be aware of this one… the boss is a total donkey. They will test you by not listing, rolling there eyes and acting like they don’t care… just ignore it and you’ll do just fine.

LASTLY: BEHAVIORAL/SITUATIONAL INTERVEIW

This one is easy just sound smart and think of the past. It sounds like fun just answer them with out taking so much time to think about it. They’ll ask questions like “ tell me about a time when you used logic and good judgment you solve a problem.” Do you best at answering… the fait is with you!

MAPPING YOUR FUTURE

" Making a map is like painting a bridge," said Jim Beradinelli, he is the president of southeastern Reprographics, Inc. he tells us that things that are always changing. one new road someone makes it could blow that whole new system off. Take Tuba for example... people always make new roads. so really none of the "rez" maps are actually correct.
They use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to collect the additional data they want to include on a particular map. in some new cars you could find a GPS system that actually works. GPs systems are like maps tat tell you were you are most of the time. there is also Graphic Information Systems(GIS), a type of database software. how it works is you give in some information they want, then the software creates a map based on the information you give it. well isn't that cool?
i guess you could tell the population for that town just by looking at the map. how far people live away from each other. how small or big the town is.it sounds very interesting to have this job. just to know were places are in different countries or states... it's like you were there before. sounds fun... don't you think?

MAKING THE GRADE

theres this teacher at a school in Greenville... his name is Mr. Dinkins. He teaches fifth grade social studies. i wouldn't mind if he was my teacher. He sounds fun and he really likes his job. he finds fun ways to teach the kids, has lots of fun with them at the same time hes teaching them. he thinks positively so hes always in a good mood. on his first day of work he was so nerve wrecking. but he made i t though his first year and it all came clear to him on what he needed to do.
theres this program out there called "Call Me Minister." it just tells you mostly about the shortage in African American males who teach in South Carolina. but the way he is i bet the student like him and would want more African American male teachers... shoot i would!

EARLY BIRD LOSES WORM.: AUTO MOTIVATED

In Career World I read five stories and they all in some way talked about going to college, working an d getting out of high school. My two favorite ones i read were Early Birds Loses Worm and Auto Motivated. Early Bird Loses worm was about how Harvard, Princeton and University of Virginia are not accepting early decision applications. They also mentioned them joining other schools. don't you think thats a little harsh? because when you apply early that to many people mean that they will have a better chance of going to college. i would think so.
The other story i read was the Auto Motivated. i liked this story because it's like a success story. any one can do i guess, it just sounds that easy. but this lady one here graduated from hight school. after she graduated high school she took a job as an receptionist at a local hospital. lated she was fired from her job. sense she was a loving mother and new she had to do some thing for her two toddlers, she decided to go back to school. after finishing at the top of her class she started to work at GM Moters. in 2004 she had gotten her bachelor's degree in vehical design from Central Michigan University. she did car designs. one car she helped design was the Saturn Aura, that was also name the car of the year in 2007 at the American International Auto Show.
i liked these stories because it shows that any one in any situation could do amazing things.

WHAT WE DID AND LEARNED SENCE THE FRENCH STUDENTS WERE HERE:

WE DID A LOT OF THINGS AND LEARNED A LOT FROM DOING THEM. WE WENT ON A LOT OF WEB SITES I NEVER EVEN HEARD OF. WERE LEARNING THINGS THAT PROFESSIONALS DO. LIKE MAKING PEOPLES PICTURES LOOK MORE WORSE OR BETTER THAN WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE. IT IS FUN I GUESS...
BLOG SPOT:
BLOG SPOTS FUN BUT WE DON'T GO ON IT AS MUCH AS WE USED TO. I GUESS THAT COULD BE OKAY TOO. ITS PRETTY FUN WE LEARNED HOW TO POST PICTURES, MUSIC VIDEOS AND JUST REGULAR WRITING. TO BLOG SPOT IS A GHETTO WAY OF SAYING "BEBO...HA HA HA."
PHOTO SHOP:
PHOTO SHOP IS AWESOME. YOU COULD DO ANY THING ON IT. MAKE PICTURE MAKE PICTURES LOOK FUNNY OR BETTER. DO WEIRD THINGS TO IT. I LIKE EVERY THING ABOUT IT. THERES JUST ONLY ONE THING... WHEN THEY TEACH IT YOU SORTA GET LOST AND HAVE TO ASK FOR HELP. BUT YUP THATS IT.

YUP BUT THE WHOLE EXPERIENCES WAS COOL.
