Jamba Juice
One of the companies that I chose during the job fair was Jamba Juice. What Jamba Juice wants from its employees is a good enthusiastic employee. In order to meet the requirements to be considered for employment you must meet the following requirements.
• Must be 16 years of age
• Computer skills including some Microsoft software and register skills
• Must be able to lift 30-40 lbs regularly throughout shifts
• Ability to stand, bend, reach and scoop through-out assigned shift
• Ability to be mobile in walk-in refrigerator and freezer with temperatures ranging from 40° F to -10° F
I meet all of the requirements for the application. The reason why is that I work as a vendor at Petco Park and these requirements for Jamba Juice are essentially the same as the requirements that I had to meet to work at Petco Park. Jamba juice also wants their employees to show some very good customer service. They want the employee to recommend a product to the consumer that will meet their needs and also to enhance their experience by engaging them and giving them samples. I think I meet these skills that are recommended because I like talking to and meeting new people. If you get accepted and work there you are responsible for keeping a clean are by washing blenders and keeping all of the supplies in stock at all times. The reason why I would like to work at Jamba Juice is that it sounds like a fun and fast moving work environment and what I like about it.

I do not want to work at the zoo because it stinks and although it is good pay for a beginning job I will not stay in town till September 6.

Compulsory Service

I don’t think that compulsory service should be forced upon people. They should be allowed to choose whether or not they want to serve their country. Part of why I believe this is because if you allow people to do something by their choice it is more likely that they will like doing whatever it is they want to do and the higher the chance that they will do that thing for longer. When u force someone to do something they get tired of it fast and are less willing to do it and to do it for longer. I am strongly against compulsory service and I believe that it is unfair for the government to force people to go into the military. How do you expect people to feel like they are part of a free country when they are not even allowed a choice on the matter of going to the military or the peace core, it is unconstitutional to force someone to do something they might not want to do. How can we call our self’s a free country when we don’t allow our citizens to make their own choices on whether or not they want to join the military or not. Although I am against many compulsory services, one compulsory service I am more than happy with is the community service we have to do in order to graduate high school. The reason why I agree with it is because I feel that it allows students to experience a new side of their community, it also depends on where the student chooses to complete their community service dough.

Problem Solver

I believe that throughout my high school career I have been a problem solver in many ways. One of these ways has been through my math class. In my math class, like in any math class I used math to solve well math problems and also to solve some problems in real life. One of these math problems was to solve the equation for a sinusoidal graph that showed when it was high tide or low tide on the beach. This problem was both relative to math and also relative to real life. Another example of me being a problem solver was in my TSS class where I ran into many problems that have to deal with first figuring out what is wrong then coming up with multiple solution and then applying each solution one by one from easiest to accomplish to harder to accomplish. The most common problem I have come across in this class is the networking problem where the computer cannot access the network. The main reason that I found caused this problem was that someone was naming the computers the wrong way. I also found some that had bad Ethernet ports and had to have one put in. I also found some computers that were not functioning well due to the fact that they were missing drivers and some had windows 7 or XP installed wrong. I solved the operating system by reloading the operating system the right way. I solved the driver issue by downloading them into a flash drive then installing them onto the computer that needed them. That is how I have been a problem solver throughout my high school career.

Effective Communicator

Throughout my high school career I have been an effective communicator. I have been using power points, posters and even websites to communicate subjects to my classmates. I have used power points to present everything from how to fix a computer to how to replace a wheel on a car. I have also used power point to present information on atoms in my Biotech class and sharks in my marine science class. I also believe that I have been an effective communicator because I am bilingual and whenever someone does not understand something in English I always try to explain it in Spanish and I almost always succeed. I am also an effective communicator because I use diagrams to show the specifics of something like a computer or car or building. In my web design class I was an effective communicator due to the fact that in one of the websites I was suppose to promote a product and I had to use a minimum of five pages on one of the pages that I made was my index that stated what the website was about, the second page talked about the product, the third page talked about the specs of the product, the fourth page showed pictures of the product, and the fifth and last page gave contact information in case anyone had any questions of if they wanted to buy the product. I believe that my web site was very clear and it gave the reader/visitor a very clear idea on what the product was used for and what were the features of the product. That is how I am an effective communicator.

If I had a family member or a friend that was 18 and he or she did not want to vote I would ask her or him to think about everything they hate about the government or like about the government. Then I would ask them if they would like to keep the things that they liked about the government and get rid of the things they did not like. I would tell them that by voting they are exercising their freedom to choose what they want and don’t want to be done. I would tell him/her that in order for us to continue having a democratic government we must vote and exercise our rights or else we will become nothing but a dictatorship. Another reason why I would tell him/her to vote would be that we must keep our democrats honest and we will do that by showing them that we care through our vote and we will also through this action make sure that we do not get “screwed” by a plan that was not well thought up. Voting can prevent democrats from thinking that they can take advantage of us and force their policy on us without our approval. The fact that they need our vote will make them provide us with information on what they plan to do and how they plan to do it. Also the fact that we vote shows that we are proud of being here in this free nation and that it is in fact a free nation. Voting is a right that we all have and we as citizen have the obligation to vote if we want a better nation cause if you do not vote you cant complain about anything.

I believe that health care is a right. Nobody should be denied health care according to their financial situation or citizenship. The new health care reform provides health care to everyone, the only thing I feel is wrong with the reform is the fact that it makes health care a requirement and it will fine people without health care. The reason why I think health care should be a right is that in order to maintain a healthy society everyone should get medical attention when needed even if you are a bum, people should not get fined for not having health care. They should help people without health care get health care instead of fining them. By fining people are only creating more debt and if we make health care a right we will maintain a very healthy and happy society. Before the reform health care was a privilege that was offered only to people with a job and it was provided by their employer. Many employers didn’t even offer health care and if they did they offered very bad health care. If health care is a privilege the only people that will have extremely great health care would be rich people, rich people do not need that good of health care because they have money to pay for medical attention. The people who need health care are the people that fall below the poverty line and are part of the working class. Health care indeed should be a right not just a privilege.

Throughout my high school career there have been a lot of instances where I have been a technology producer. Some of the instances have occurred in my biotech class, TSS class, and my Photoshop class. In my biotech class I was a technology producer because through the use of technology I learned about science by using sophisticated and delicate equipment. In my biotech class I also had to produce my own protocols to allow people to recreate my experiment and get similar if not same results. In my TSS class I was a technology producer because I learned how to fix computers and also how to build them. This allowed me to build a computer from spare parts that our teacher, Mr. Marquez, had lying around from previous computers whose motherboards did not work and the good parts were saved. I chose a motherboards’ that worked and then I correctly placed it in the case and I held to the case with screws, I then chose the proper power supply, the proper RAM and amount of RAM that the mother board could run, then I put a floppy and CD-Rom drive and a hardrive. After all of this was done I checked window XP to see if it was properly working and it was not, so I got a windows XP CD from Mr. Marquez and I re-installed it onto the computer and I got it working again. This is how I was a technology producer at Scitech in my TSS class through my high school career so far. In my Transtech class I was a technology producer because I worked on cars and fixed them and I also did a lot of electrical wiring in cars.

I have been in high school for about four years now and approximately three of those years I have been in Sci-Tech. Before I came to Sci-Tech I attended Memorial elementary school in Logan. At Logan I collaborated in my music class as a guitar player, we collaborated with the flute players and drummers to create beautiful music. Once I started attending Sci-Tech I started to collaborate more on in-class activities. One example of this was when I first started attending my TSS (Technical Support Services) class we had to be in a group and build something out of magazines that could support 4-5 cans of food, my team lost of course but we all collaborated equally and came in 3^rd. Other classes that also serve as an example of me being a collaborating learner are BioTech, English, Math, Marine Science, and my Transtech (auto shop) class. In my biotech I collaborated with team members Samaria Price, Mawii Zeleke, Elizabeth Kesler, and Elshaday Tashome in order to collectively assemble science kits so that kids in junior high schools and elementary schools around the district can learn and do the same experiments that we perform in our biotech class while learning at the same time. In my English class I collaborated in a group with other class members in order to learn how to view things in a deferent point of view besides our own and open our mines up to different ideas. In my transtech class I was put in a team with other kids in the class and together we collaborated to fix a Mitsubishi eclipse and we succeeded and got it up and running. This is why I am a collaborative learner and have been one and will be one throughout my life and high school career.

I believe that as emerging adults our civic responsibilities are to register to vote, register with the selective service act and to pay taxes. What we owe our community is to make it become a safer place for kids to learn and grow without having to deal with the gang violence or all the bullying that goes on in school. What we owe the state is to pay back for all the financial aid that they have provided us with and to also pay taxes in order help them to keep offering the same financial aid to other kids with a bright future. We owe the world the chance to become a better place by helping people become more energy efficient and help the earth grow. What i am interested in contributing is community service and and helping people become green and help the earth grow.

For my senior exhibition I chose the question, "How does the media affect American teens today?" The reason why I chose this question is that i wanna see how much exactly does the media affect the teens of America today. A lot of teens now a-days say that the media really does not affect them, but what they don't realize is that everything they do or buy or think about today is influenced by the media. That is why I chose this question because I wanna show them how big a role the media actually plays in their lives.

How am I a responsible learner?

I have been a responsible learner throughout my high school career because I always make sure that I am at school on time and if not earlier then I need to be. I have also been a responsible learner by helping my team members or other friends in my class when they do not understand the material or they need help with something. This makes me a responsible learner because getting to school on time and early allows me to finish any homework that I did not have time to finish the day before, it allows me to go to sleep early so that the next day i'll be refreshed and focused ready to learn in class. Helping my team members and classmates to understand and learn the material been taught at school makes me a responsible learner because by helping them i ensure that the class moves forward and that we get taught more.Another thing that makes me a responsible learner is that whenever I need help understanding the homework or whatever was being taught in class that day I come for after school tutoring. I make sure that if I do not understand a subject i get the help that i need in order to understand the subject and to allow myself to succeed in class and graduate from Sci-Tech. One last and final reason of why I am a responsible learner is that throughout my years at Sci-Tech I have never failed a class.This is how I have been a responsible learner throughout my four years in high school and my three years at Sci-Tech.
