Semester Blog

    This semester was great. I've learned a lot from the experiences we've had. The things I've learned can help me to be a better employee. During this semester I was able to form a better relationship with my employees. I learned things that could make me a better person also. Some of the experiences we had can also help me to reach my goal of becoming an architect, like talking with Joe Burzinski and doing the presentation for my site at Ranken Technical college. These experiences have helped me to better appreciate science because I'm not a big fan of it, but being here has changed my view of science a lot.

    I've met all kinds of different people like the teens from the science museum in New Mexico and the teens from the science museum of Minnesota. We've done little workshops every other Saturday called college prep that basically prepare us for college. In college prep we do activities that our supervisors think will help us choose a good college and get into it. The people who came here this semester have been great also. We had an architect named Joe Burinski talk to us about the structure of different buildings. We had a lady named Ellen Rubin who was blind, but that didn't stop her from learning. She talk to us about disabled inventors. Then she showed us how she makes it through the day. After that she talked about sand. That Saturday with her showed me that if a women who is blind works hard to continue to learn more about science than just giving up, science is something I want to continue to work with. This semester we had a glass maker visit us. His name was Rich Brooks. He showed us how they cut glass and how to make jewelry.

    This semester was great because I learned so much and had a good time doing it. I can't wait for this summer so I can work with my site and teach them everything I learned this semester. I hope that the kids have as much fun as I did this semester doing all the things we did.

Peace out and have a nice summer and life
