article: from poverty to professions by dr.b

This article is about practicing education. Dr. B speaks about the lack of reading tradition amongst students. Schools acknowledge and notice those with backgrounds of higher education. He informs the people about the need to teach at home. Social capital should not be the only influence on students to want to learn or do more.

Money should not define a students ability to exceed. Dr.B proves a solid point, it's important for a student to get help on their own. I know what works for me and what doesn't. I should be the one to go out my way and seek help. I find this article necessary, this subject needed to be acknowledged

I enjoy reading and watching films. I like doing things that make my brain work. I enjoy putting things together, making game plays, and solving problems. I don't read often, I like to stay open minded with the different ways to take in information and be entertained. I plan to read two short stories every week off of paper.

guest speaker: tony ramirez (territorial historian)

Mr. Tony Ramirez spoke about the legend of Guam. He told the story with emotion by singing and vision with slides. The slides were old school films, very different from the slides used today. As he sang, he translated the meanings of every verse. He told the famous legend of Guam, Fu'una and Puntan.

​I had no idea that Guam was that unique. As he presented, he also changed my view. I never put much thought into how much we have for such a small island. We are so fortunate to have nice healthy mountains and many marine life in our oceans. Apparently, we have more marine life than Hawaii, that is unbelievable, until I think about the Marianas Trench. Which is what makes Guam the highest mountain in the world. There's so many big things I'm uneducated about. Thank you to Mr. Ramirez, I could say I know a few interesting things.

telephone skills

During this training I learned how to answer the phone in a mannerly way. First, start off with a greeting, "Hafa Adai" or "hi". Then introduce yourself and or your work place with a thank you. "thank you for calling (hotel/work) , (name) speaking". Next, let them know you can help with respect, "how may i assist you?". It is important to greet, but also to address the callers greeting. If they say "thank you", reply "you're welcome". Remember to take your time with the call and say everything with a smile. It'll sound like, "Hafa Adai thank you for calling Simon Sanchez, Dhenicca speaking. How may i assist you?". Answering a call with a good mood or well energized will make the caller feel welcomed.

gcc presentation

On September 26,2019 Ms. Oliveros presented to my class and I about being in A GCC program. She first talked about our criteria for being in A GCC program and the risks of not following through. Then she informed us about work experience and hours. One elective credit is earned with 180 work hours. The most we can get is 1.5 credits. She also introduced us to the Certificate of Mastery. This is earned with A 3.0 GPA and completed work hours. She finished off the presentation with information about a variety of clubs that can help us figure our path for college, like minimizing the classes we take.

Ms.Oliveros taught me that it's important to prioritize my grades and work hours. I always thought of it as important but she emphasized the importance by sharing how far grades and hours can get us. I learned that there are A lot of helpful clubs and connected programs. I never knew there were programs that can help us earn college credits. I'm now interested in both Clymer and Decap. I learned they are outstanding programs that can help me with the things every high school student stresses about. I'm grateful for meeting ms. Oliveros.
