Is working at Jittery Joe's your first experience with work? If not, what skills from other jobs are you implementing at the coffee shop? If it is, what skills are you learning that you will take with you to future jobs?
*No i had a job this summer working with the city. My summer job was really cleaning up stuff so the skills i learned is cleaning. How to fix things for people and clean.
Weekly Question Two
We are already beginning to talk about customer service. Talk about a positive customer service experience you have had working at Jittery Joe's.
* A positive customer service experience was when i was selling food to my friends. The reason I think that is because it feels good selling food or drinks to the group of peers. Another positive experience was also seeling food to my teachers or just people thats just visting classic city.
Weekly Question Three
Talk about tasks that can be done when the coffee shop is slow. What types of things can you be working on to still be a productive worker?
* I think a good task to do when the coffee shop is moving slow is cleaning up. The reason i say that is because don't no one wants to buy food or even make an order when the area their buying from is nasty. The reason i say this is because i know i wouldn't want to buy anything from a place that has old food laying around just nasty period.
Weekly Question Four
Do you have classmates asking you for free drinks or pastries? You aren't alone! Some of your peers will ask you this frequently, causing you to make an ethical decision. How have you handled it in the past? How will you handle it in the future?
* Yes i have got ask to give some of my peers free snacks or drinks. How i handle it in the past was by saying there is a camera right there and it works. How i will handle it in the future will probably be by saying the same thing or just telling them i cant lose a creadit for no one because im trying to get out of school not go to jail.
Weekly Question Five
Has there been a time where you made an error either with money or dealing with a customer? Explain what happened and how you corrected it. What will you do differently next time?
Yes there was one time when we had alot of customers and instead of putting 50 cents in to the cash register i put in five dollars so that made the count under. A way i will not make that mistake again will be just by moving a little bit slower when i'm making a purchase. But i won't move to slow so i can still help out with the customers.
Weekly Question Six
Describe how you feel physically while working. What changes or stays the same as you work?
I feel good because you really dont have to stand unless you selling food to a customer or just cleaning up. One thing that i will say that stays the same as I work is just being ready to help a customer or cleaning when somthing spills or just need cleaning up.
Weekly Question Seven
Have you had a bad customer experience? Without using names or identifying information, explain what happened and how you resolved the situation.
I really can't say i had a bad customer experience besides not knowing how to make coffee drinks for people. How i resolved that problem was just basically just learning how to make the drinks.
Weekly Question Eight
Now that you have legitimate work experience (if you did not already) do you feel differently about the way you spend money? Assume you earned minimum wage for working at Jittery Joe's instead of course credit. How does that change the value of money in your eyes?
No i really don't feel differently by spending money. I guess it stills feel the same because i already held a job. I really couldn't say it would change the value of money in my eyes because I all have been getting paid to work.
Weekly Question Nine
What has been the most difficult part of your job at Jittery Joe's? What would you change if you could?
The only diffcult part i had at jittery joe's was just making drinks and learning how to make them. Because different drinks take different things you got to put into it. I wouldn't change nothing because its a good thing you learn how to make them so if you could get another job doing the same thing and already know how to do it.
Weekly Question Ten
What is your greatest achievement in school so far this semester?
My greatest achievement i would probably say is not failing no classes and just keeping good grades threw out the school year.
Weekly Question Eleven
What job do you ideally want? What skills will you need to hone in order to get that job? What educational background is required? How does this class help you to train for these things?
My ideal job is just owning my own business. The skills i need for that job is just business classes. The educational background required is college course on business. This class helps me with that i guess by just letting me count money and sell things.
Weekly Question Twelve
As the semester ends, think back over the last few months. What experience has been most valuable to you?
I really can't say i had a valuable experience because it just felt like another day at school for me. And the cleaning part of jittery joe's was crazy to because people do not clean up nothing and leave it for me or my partner to do.

ELAALRL3
ELAALRL3 The student deepens understanding of literary works by relating them to their contemporary context or historical background, as well as to works from other time periods.
*I think it is saying read all the stories and try to understand other time periods and what they did back then.
The Bloody Knife(Micmac)retold byS. E. Schlosser
Many and many a year ago, two Micmac warriors from rival villages got into a terrible argument. Harsh words were exchanged, and then knives were pulled. The warriors battled back and forth on the banks of a small creek. They fought with the ferocity of grizzlies, tearing at each other with their knives, ripping at each others clothes and hair.
Suddenly, one of the warriors slipped on the muddy bank and fell into the waters of the creek. His bloody knife slipped from his hand and sank down and down to the bottom, landing upon a rock just beyond his reach. The warrior strained his pain-wracked body towards the knife as his blood filled the waters of the creek, but it was just beyond his fingertips. He thrashed and clawed towards his knife, desperate to reach it before his rival killed him, but no matter how he stretched, it always slipped out of reach.
On the bank above, the victorious Micmac warrior saw his rival sink into the blood-stained waters and lay still, the knife just a hair-breadth beyond his fingertips. He did not rise again. The fallen man's people found him a few hours later and tenderly rescued his body from the rippling waters of the creek. But when they tried to retrieve his bloody knife from the rock beneath him, it always slipped beyond their reach, though the creek was not deep.
Many and many a year has passed since that bloody day by the creek, and still the blood-stained knife lies beneath the rippling waters of the creek. Whenever anyone tries to reach it, the knife slips out of reach. It is like trying to touch something on the bottom of the sea, although the creek itself is not deep. Even the rushing waters of the spring season do not move the mysterious knife or wash away the blood staining its blade.
For this reason, the creek is called Wokun - meaning "knife" by the Micmac people, and the white men call it "Bloody Creek
* I think my example is basically saying that you shouldn't fight just stay peaceful. The story is about warriors from different villages who got in to an argument. They started fighting by a bank and they was fighting with knifes, Then one warrior fell into the creek and when he tried to get his knife it kept slipping out of his reach. Everytime some one tried to get the knife out it kept slipping like it was saying theres no need for a knife just stay peaceful.
* The Natives i guess believed that they should stay peaceful and believed in different gods. So when the warrior tried to reach for his knife it kept slipping away.Whenever anyone tries to reach it, the knife slips out of reach. It is like trying to touch something on the bottom of the sea, although the creek itself is not deep.
* Puritans believed in one god and also thought everybody was born a sinner and there is no way to get all of god grace.
*some of the ways the are different are that one of them believed in one god and the other one don't. They have different gods and believed in different stuff also.
Yes i believed if they were able to meet they would clash. i think that because the Natives and Puritans did things in a different way. And one of the groups might try to take over and make the other group learn about their god and teach them to do stuff how they do it.
*ELAALRL5 The student understands and acquires new vocabulary and uses it correctly in reading and writing.
cultures-
The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought.
clash-To come into conflict; be in opposition:
sermon -
A religious discourse delivered as part of a church service.
*Work Period
philosophy- a theory
scripture-writings of religions
Age of Rationalism-Early 17th century philosophy
Rationalist-exercise of reason
unalienable -Not to be separated
* The Rationalist believed in god as well but they thought you could solve things by science or find out how somthing came about.
* The Puritans didn't believe that because they thought god had control over everything really and thought if you did anything to look like you making fun of the god or doing evil stuff they could put you on trail and kill you if found guilty.
* Franklin is a good example of a Rationalist because instead of waiting on god or thinking god will change him. He starts to try to change his self and say that it's up to him to change his self. Example: My intention being to acquire the habitude of all these virtues, i judge it would be well not to distract my attention by attempting the whole at once, but to fix it on one of them at a time, and when i should master of that, then to proceed to another, and so on till i should have gone through the thirteen.
My Thirteen Virtues
1. Work- Do what i got to do to at work or at school.
2. Study- Come home and study my work or look at what i gotta do better.
3. Dress- Dress neat if im going some where or not.
4. Clean- Clean up my room or if i see something around the house help out.
5. Sleep- Try to get enough of sleep.
6.Peace- Try not to start with anybody and try to stay calm.
7. Bath- Take a shower every day.
8. Money- Get money everyday by any means.
9. Drugs- Stay drug free.
10. Job- Get a job before i get out of school.
11. Family- Put family before everybody and help them out.
12. God- Make God number one in my life
13. Chruch- Go to chruch every sunday or when i can.
Do you think you could reach moral perfection in this way?
* It kind of go both ways. The reason i say that is because you need God to help you change. So you might pray to god to help you be a better person. You might also try to change yourself by writing stuff down like Franklin did and try to do one of them at a time. So that why i think its kind of a go by ways.
*I think it is saying read all the stories and try to understand other time periods and what they did back then.

ELAALRL1 The student demonstrates comprehension by identifying evidence (i.e., examples of diction, imagery, point of view, figurative language, symbolism, plot events and main ideas) in a variety of texts representative of different genres (i.e., poetry, prose [short story, novel, essay, editorial, biography], and drama) and using this evidence as the basis for interpretation.
