The interviewers reflection of an interview with a 5 year pre-k handicap teacher was very professional and informational. The practitioner was very open to answer the questions, responding quite gracefully and formally.

The Human Services profession is a wide and vast field of occupation that provides support to various people in various situations. From an Alcohol Counselor, to a Social Work Assistant, the Human Services professional proves to be a vital career. For my interview assignment I chose Amada Miller, a Family Services Worker who works for the City of Norfolk in the Human Services Department in Norfolk, Virginia. As a Family Services Worker, Amanda Miller is specializes in providing help to families in a majority of ways. After Interviewing Amanda, her insight and advice she gave to me made me consider going into the Human Services Field.

Over the past few days, I have spent a considerable amount of time on the phone with Public Relations professionals in the greater New York area. All of the PR professionals I talked to are in the pharmaceutical field. I choose this field because I find the health care industry very interesting, and I am specifically concerned with understanding how drugs enter the market.

When we were given this assignment I was very uneasy about talking to another person about personal matters. Let alone someone who I had never had a conversation with and was of a different race and ethnicity. My interviewee's name is Micheal. He considers himself black of African American descent. He is a black 36 yr old black male. Michael was born in San Bernardino, CA. He’s an educated and a professional male who works in college. He is the father of 2 boys, happily married. His wife is considered a white woman. Michael is the second from the oldest of about 9 children. He was raised by his aunt and uncle who he very happily calls, mom and dad. They had 2 adopted children when he was taken in and then they adopted 2 more after him. He smiles

Throughout college Amy wasn't really the type to study a lot. She would go out and party then I asked her, “If you could go back in time to your college self what advice would you give.” She didn't really have to think hard about this as she simply stated “ I would study more.” Since she didn't study she didn't have the best grades she had average grades which made her have to work harder to graduate.When she finished explaining her sition with grades I asked , “Did your career choice change.” She a took a minute to answer but when she did she simply replied “ Yes at first... I wanted to be a teacher… umm that’s what my dad was and my sister was going to be but in my sophomore year it wasn't for me so I change to hospitality.” At this point Amy was looking a little bit nervous. She was playing with her hands and she already drank her grande coffee in under 10 minutes. She also didn’t make a lot of eye contact. I feel like her college experience wasn’t easy for her and that she made a lot of mistake that she regrets. Knowing that college is a new change to someone's life I asked, “ Did college change you in anyway.” She awkwardly cough and took a few seconds to answer

I designed my client’s exercises around their goals. For instance, Olivia wanted to have stronger abs, so I focused a majority of her training days on core strength. Another factor in designing my workouts was communicating with my client’s other trainer, so I did not repeat the same types of exercises. Furthermore, the progression was increasing the difficulty for my clients in terms of their respective exercises, as well as increasing the weights on the second or third repetition of the workout. For example, I had Dana jog on the treadmill at 6.0 mph for 2 minutes on May 17, but she was jogging at 6.5 mph for 3 minutes by May 23.

Artificial intelligence has been progressing over the past two decades. AI is becoming smarter, faster, and more complex every day. Not quit as complex as the human brain and nervous system. When we reach a point where AI is more complex than us it’s hard to predict such outcome of something greater than the human biology. I have been asked to conduct an interview on advanced AI. You would think a computer major or professor would be the best option, but really someone who understands; human evolution, philosophy, and the brain would be a much more qualified person of interest to understand. I chose Anton Ford who is Assistant Professor in Philosophy

Immediately following the class, Mr. Hallman and the Dean of the Hospitality School, Mr. Saboe invited me to participate in this event, even though I had not met the formal requirements or training typically necessary. Furthermore, Mr. Hallman waived the requirement for me to participate and I quote him directly, “Although we typically require students to have completed our dining room class before participating, I waived that requirement based on Ms. Perkins’ level of professionalism, high energy, and solid communication skills.”

This week Acculturation for Justice, Access and Peace Outreach. We receive two new clients, so I was able to sit in on the intake interview. As stated in a previous paper, and an intake interview helps the case manager know goals that the clients are setting for themselves. The intake interview also helps us know how much English the clients may or may not know. Sadly, these clients not only have very little English, but neither of them have had any schooling. If this was a game show, this would be called a double whammy. It's already hard finding jobs for clients that don't have much English, so for them to two disadvantages doesn't help at all. "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." We have to work with what we have. They tell us that they really want to work, so hopefully I and my fellow co-workers are able to find them jobs.

This was the time in my life where I came to the realization that this fun and entertaining industry was a place where I could develop a career.

I know being successful in this course is important because the information taught will help me in achieving my career goals.
