Dear J.C. Navarra

My name is Carlton Robbins I am a student enrolled in your career exploration class. I have noticed that your school is extremely dull. All the hall ways smell like old crayons and the ceiling tiles are getting old. I think you need something new, something to spice up your school. I am suggesting you should start a coffee shop.

With this new shop in your facility you will attract more students to enroll in your campus. The shop will brighten up your campus with color and a sweet fragrance will
Remind students how sweet the shop looks.

Sincerely


Carlton dell Robbins
Best student

Subject: Noise in the office

There is to much noise in the office I have forgotten to let you know several times now until today, it makes it very hard to concentrate.

I propose that you can talk to your colleagues in the office for making a lot of noise. If the noise I would be more than happy to leave.

Dangerous Thinking

If i were to give advice to a girl named carrie i would tell her "life is a garden DIG IT!" I was just joking i would first talk to her about her aptitudes and her intrests. i would ask her questions like what do u want to do in the future? What do you like doing in your spare time and what are you good at. then i would look up jobs that have similar qualities to her description of a job she wants. then i would give her a some job results and have her pick one at RANDOM!
Most of the grown ups i know that are in a type of workforce i personally tnhink that they do fit in the section of there job description. they are very smart and talented in what they do. I respect them because of that they did what they dreamed of doing thats what makes them unique my auntie became principal when she wanted to become a teacher she dreamed big but she acomplished that and then some.

Do your Job

if i were to be in a task group i would want to be the star in the show but i wont i will have to listen to other peoples opinions and there comments. i would be ready with a mind full of comments and comebacks for some trash talkers i wuold participate and try not to ask too many questions i would tryto help people with there jobs because i think that it is part of being in a group. i will cooperate with the chief in charge i will keep my smart comments to my self and try not to get irratated by people. the most thing i would do is try my very best to do my work as quick and accurate as i can my sportsmanship will probably come in handy i cant force people to do there work they have to do it themselves but with a little encouragement they may get motivated to do there work and every one will be happy with the finished well done job.

working with strangers

employees are forced to work together in things that are called task groups, they are groups where people are seperated into smaller groups inside the groups. They are assighned to a specific spot and are suppoosed to do it, if you dont want to do your job you can be a brat aand make a fuss to your leader and make a change but if it was me i would try to except my position. You will be expected to do your job while you believe your fellow peers are doing there jobs. when you work in grups i think that your work may be more accurate and alot faster, because you get help from your peers and your peers can help you if you dont know what you are doing. its important to have every one participate because if you dont your project will not be complete there may be a slacker in your group that will slow your group down, its like if you are doing a puzzle you are all done and you find out your missing a piece.
