Shark video

Today Ms. Rogerson substituted for Mr. Hepting today. It was really fun . We watched a shark video and it was really well done. It changed my whole perspective on not only sharks but marine life in general. Their defenceless but they remain key species to out ecosystem. A part of me wishes we watched this video earlier in the year and had done something to raise awareness. 

A loooong week

This week has been reallly really busy. Tuesday was prep for both the grade 7 articulation and the school carnival. I had lots of fun with the grade 7's, although the boys weren't always cooperative. Then yesterday was the carnival, i honesty thought the whole thing would not be as successful as it was. Our game was a popular hit! Now everyone in co-op is wishing there was a grade 12 co-op.  :( 

Grade 7 tours

Yesturday half the class did the grade 7 tours for Highland, Mclaude Road and Woodward. Alayah and I had a mixed of group of 10 kids. I realized they were really shy at first but as the tour got loner and I added some humour as i talked, they seemed to open up more and asked questions often. Mr. Whitham gave each leadership student a list of everything we should show them in the school and The one thing that I think is important that wasn't on the list was showing the inside of an actual locker. Thats where most of the questions raised when I showed my own personal locker. I assured them that the physically size of the locker does not allow any children to be stuffed inside. Opening the actual lock scares them. On a positive note, they loved seeing the metal shop and wood shop as wellas the   foods room. OH and the super lab. Some of the kids in the group weren't shy and they talked to some of the grade 12 students during our tour.

Aquarium

Today we went on a fieldtrip to the aquarium! It was so exciting to be allowed to handle the underwater creatures. I didn't enjoy holding the creatures because they tinkled my hands. But it was fascinating to hear about them. I felt the scientific method workshop afterwards was unnecessary and too long. Other than that the day was exciting. My favourite is the penguins and sea otters! :)

I'm on the wall of awesome at work experience!

IT'S BEAUTIFUL !

Last day of work experience...

Yesturday was a sad day. I absolutely loved work experience. It was always a fun day at work. The co workers were enjoyable, the environment, everything was just amazing. Everyday my sales were higher than my given sales goal. Yesterday my goal was $1500 and i got $2418! Luckily I will be back at American Eagle soon as I am going to get hired in about a month or so. But I did leave all my coworkers a little thank you card before I left , it was touching to see all my coworkers sad about me leaving... :')

MEETING THE VP OF AMERICAN EAGLE

Last Tuesday I knew that the regional manager, district manager, the vice president and one more other important person was coming to check up on the store. I wasn't as nervous going into work as I was on the sales floor. Right after my break around 1 am the vice president is seen heading towards the entrance. Since he is walking into the women's section I have to great him and give him the promotion run down. I was so scared because he was a 6 foot 5 black dude. Throughout the duration of the day my manager kept hounding me to keep everything pristine. Every time I came across one of the important visitors i would engage in a conversation with them. After three hours they left. My manager calls me over and whispers, so are you going to apply here after work experience? And i said yes i would love to actually work here! And she said well the vice president really liked you and he doesnt have to like you because you are only work experience. And she went on to say they should hire me. SO THAT IS HOW I CAME ABOUT TO GETTING MY FIRST REAL JOB!
