Week 12

How do you approach work and school rigorously?

Rigorously? That is a funny choice of words. Almost as if you were specifically thinking about me when you worded this. -.-

I approach school and work just like any other moderately responsible teenager. It's not like I really enjoy waking up early or getting bleach all over me. I do it because I have to; because it is the responsible thing to do. I do my best to be on time and professional. I said that I do my best because I do not always succeed. But, hey, I try my best! That is all someone could ask for.

Week 11

What changes have you seen within yourself since being employed?

Working has changed my perspective in many ways. Most of these changes are for the better too. One big change has been respecting others on the job; Just being extra nice to that lady in drive through, cleaning up my mess so others won't have to, Being sure to tell them "Have a nice day," and "Thank you." It always makes me happy when a customer is polite to me, so why not return the favor? Another big change that I have seen in myself since joining the work force is enjoying my freetime. I really love those days when I wake up and realize that I have absolutely nothing to do. My freetime means so much to me now. And I gladly fill it up with being a lazy cow.

Week 10

Knowing what you do about your company, would you be more or less likely to give them your business in the future? (For example, if at a store, will you continue to shop at this store now that you have a look “behind the scenes?”). Site examples so we can understand your reasoning.

After I leave Cane's, I will definitely eat there on occasion. They really do have the best chicken. Even if I left on bad terms, I know they would not "vandalize" my food. Raising Cane's is a very clean and professional restaurant. We are always polite to past employees, except for Ben Joiner, And that is because he cussed out the owner to the fullest extent. He is banned from the premsis, but if he wasn't, I know that we would still serve him with a smile and respect for his food-stuffs.

Week Nine

Imagine you are your own supervisor. What changes would you make at your job and why?

I can not really elaborate on this subject because Raising Cane's is run so smoothly. The managers know exactly what they and us (the crew) need to do at all times. I suppose there is one thing I would change. I recently found out that there is conspiricy at Cane's. A manager was dating a crew member, now that crew member has become a manager. This is very much so against crew conduct. They would both be fired for lying to the GM. Yet, I keep my mouth shut because it is not hurting anyone, and frankly it is none of my business.

Week Eight

After doing this job, what will you attempt to avoid in future jobs? What will you try to do again?

After working at Raising Cane's, I definitely plan to avoid any type of fast food nonsense. I mean, everyone has to eat; but I don't care to serve them. Other people I work with take Raising Cane's so seriously. I am not one to goof off at work but chicken is not my main goal in life. I still plan to work hard at what ever I do. So I will surely keep that in check.

Week Seven

How does this program benefit you as both a student and as an employee?

The work-based learning program helps me in more than one way. As a student, the program helps me gain a credit. Which is necessary in getting my diploma. As an employee, the work-based program helps me get that extra "umph" to get up and go to work. Not only am I getting paid to go to work, I also get a credit for my hours. This really drives me to work harder and be more sucessful. (Can you see through my bs Mrs. Scredon?)

Week Six

What is the greatest challenge you face at work?

Honestly, My greatest challenge is challenging myself. Raising cane's is very simple, almost idiotic. There is nothing that can't understand or can't do at Cane's. This makes my biggest priority become staying humble. I just keep in mind how much I need the money and how it is not that bad.
