OSHA Labor Laws

                   This workshop gave a better insight into how government regulations help protect workers and how we should pay attention to these laws ourselves.  By knowing more about these OSHA laws, it can help better prepare us for future injuries as well as future shortcomings that may impact us negatively. By countering it properly, it can help us cope with these misfortunes by knowing more about these labor laws. In this workshop, it's taught us that whatever may come as a result or working, it must be notified to the supervisor or the boss of the workplace so that it can be dealt with properly. There was one video where it demonstrated a girl's issue with the workplace where she suffered a disastrous injury which crippled her for life. By seeing this video ourselves, it has taught us that no issue is ever a small problem since it can escalate due to such overwhelming consequences. By knowing more that before, we are now r...

Interview Skills Journal

               The interview skills workshop really helped out with improving our first impressions pitch. When presenting ourselves in front of others, it's mandatory to conquer and master the art of the interviewing skills. We managed to improve on our efficient yet lacking handshakes as well as our presentation to others. Many flaws were found when undergoing our session with the experts and as result, we've improved thanks to him. The person diligently exposed our flaws on purpose and then commented on it with his own honest feedback which really helped out because his advice later made much more sense when it was implemented.

PBJ Drive and High School Fair- Community Service Hours

               The PBJ drive, sponsored by the honor society in 2016, was completed as community service towards the people in need. It was completed as a result of a team effort since it was a collaboration of making PBJ sandwiches towards the needy. This very event contributed towards working together as a team as well as developing extra skills as a skill set. In this case, it contributed towards cooking skills in a minor way since making PBJ sandwiches is kitchen work. It was also very enjoyable to make such sandwiches in a such a unique way as a team. We were instigated to make sandwiches that were stacked together in doubles, triples and quadruples by accident. It was such a messy process that we even ended up having extras to eat as a matter of fact. Thus, this event has increased my bond with the NHS members and has developed a strong sense of comradeship and team collaboration.                The C...

Extracurricular-Band

                    The activities that I've participated in also lean towards activities that aren't school-based. For instance, I've participated in band ever since freshmen year and have been committed to it with extreme perseverance.  Even though band has caused stress when it comes to performing towards the judges every year,  I've endured such definitive moments that have shaped my life. These very events have developed a certain kinship with the conductor as well as my fellow band mates. As a team effort, it's contributed towards our bonds of players of senior band all the way from junior band. As a result of combined efforts from the other flutes and me as a flute player, I have progressed myself to reach an advanced level of being a flute player. Plus, this very experience also helps out others in the long run so they can bestow the knowledge of music and its assets/benefits.
