Assisted Dining Observation

This year I will be helping out at the primary again, and I will also volunteer to be a translator for the parents. The only difference being that I will actually be more one-to-one with a 2nd grader, helping learn her English. I was overjoyed when I was offered this opportunity, I couldn’t wait to get started. I also couldn’t wait to get started with a new project I started at school. The step forward that I took was that I started my own program at my school, the unique factor being that it’s a spanish based after school study table. The goal of the program is to help out the students who are having trouble in class because they don’t know as much English.

The class collecting the most nonperishable food items will receive a Pajama Day and Extra-Special Recess Play, while the class collecting the greatest amount of money via our Penny War, will receive a Pajama Day and Pizza Lunch! Important to note, is that Meramec is accepting the challenge from Captain Elementary to see if we can collect three thousand dollars! If so, grade three teacher, Matt Chaney has volunteered to let me shave his head for a special assembly, in honor of those battling cancer who lose their hair after

Thanks to my experience at your facility, I have firsthand noticed the importance of knowing Spanish for communication reasons. I have decided to pursue a certificate of Spanish for health professionals as well. Thanks to Sunbelt Apopka I came to this realization and more. Although I wish I could always come volunteer on a daily basis, I unfortunately I need to focus on some upcoming courses. Meaning you guys may see me again spontaneously, without warning. Thank you all again, I wish every one of you the best of luck, you all deserve

The organization is working really hard to optimize the available resources by engaging volunteers from the university, providing flexible hours for working older adults, introducing various wellness program such as; blood pressure screening, hearing problem screening, exercise classes. The institution has also brought provision for older adults in transportation services, meals on wheel and day care center. These programs clearly promotes ‘ageing in place’ concept and discourage institutionalization of older adults. The older adults who volunteer in the center feel valued as they help fellows with their skills and capacity. Different workshops for one to enjoy their hobbies further promotes their self-esteem and

When looking trough the results of the information I entered for the Food Tracker, I was amazed on what I was seeing. The students are receiving less than the daily group targets. The target for March 10,2016 consisted of 2 ½ oz grains when they needed to intake 6 oz, which is under the daily group target. For vegetables the target was 2 ½ oz and they only ate 1 cup, fir fruits the target was 2 cups and they ate 1 cup, dairy they ate 1 cup and the target was 3 and finally

Inside school, I am a member in the key club for two years. In the club, I took part in many activities, such as collecting bottles, joining race for the cure, helping wrap presents, signing in for free cooking. I also volunteered in the graduation ceremony, and guiding visitors into school as a member in the Student Ambassador. With the influence from my parents, I started helping in the old people's home at a young age. At that time, I was learning Guzheng, a traditional Chinese instrument. In weekends, I usually bring my instrument to the old people's home, and play it for them. When I saw they were enjoyable and relaxed during my performance, I feel the sense of accomplishment. It is able to say that their similes are the power that convince me insist in doing charity. I hope I can be accepted by the National Honor Society. If I have a chance, I will do all I can do to let our school become stronger and encourage everybody to be the person they admired. I think I am a good listener, and having the ability to benefit the

While working at Watterson Dining commons, I have maintained an exemplary disciplinary record, and I have not received any write ups or infractions. While maintaining an exemplary disciplinary record, I have also maintained a great attendance record. Throughout working at the Watterson Dining Commons, I have only missed work twice, but I did have a sub and both times were due to factors beyond my control. As far as job performance I have improved since my last performance review, and I always done my best to help the customers get what they would like. A time that I went above and beyond my job was one day that I was called over to help close the dishroom, after the dishroom, I returned to help my normal venue close even when I could have left.

I have participated in the program Lunch Is Served, held at the First United Methodist Church in Sioux Falls. The goal of this program is to gather volunteers to pack lunches to aid the working poor, ultimately fixing the major hunger problem in Sioux Falls. I have attended this volunteer opportunity five times, and plan to volunteer again in the future. Essentially, those who participate pack as many brown paper bag lunches as possible in a streamlined fashion. Included in the bag is usually various nutritious snacks and a wrapped sandwich that will be given to those in need. My experiences there was very humbling, due to the fact that it made me realize the impact one person can have on the community. All it takes is a half hour of

I stood holding my lunch tray as I surveyed the lunch tables. As I saw it, there were three groups: The Boys, The Wannabes, and The Posse.

Being an athlete, involved in school, and outside of school, creating the Elderly Christmas organization has greatly impacted my life. For years, I have always enjoyed helping people whether it be in learning, sports, or just helping complete tasks. My earliest memory of volunteering was at the nursing home that my grandmother worked for; I served residents ice cream in the parlor. Seeing the impact I had on them and the return influence they had on me brought great joy. As time went on, I talked to various veterans and empowering people; I was incredibly grateful to be in their presence. These people I encountered allowed me to become wiser. This program shows one person can make a large impact on people and I am truly grateful for this experience.

For my senior project I am volunteering at Sunset Estates, a memory care facility in Ontario, Oregon, and planning an Adopt a Grandparent day for the residents there. Through this project I’m hoping to gain experience in caring for Alzheimer's and Dementia patients while exploring the idea of becoming a nurse in memory care. There are no big goals in this project other than to make a residents day a little brighter by volunteering my time and organizing a fun day for them.

The time is approaching for Kathy and Jacqueline’s departure. I am going to provide Kathy and Jacqueline with gift cards. I’m suggesting that we all pitch in $5 for Kathy’s card, and 5$ for Jacqueline’s card. What do you think? I was informed that Kathy loves to eat at Luby’s, so I was thinking of getting her a gift card from there. I’m not sure what Jacqueline would prefer, so I decided to get her a multipurpose card. I will need the money for Kathy’s card by Thursday, 5/5/16. I will have cards available for kind words to be written from you all as well.

I enjoyed reading your discussion point regarding the differences we learned from the Disney Dining Room experience and reading the Formal Dinner Service article. While reading the article, I came up with the impression that the fine dining experience was taking place at a private residence, country club or even at a royalty event. The setting of the actual fine dining experience can create differences in service. I also think it is appropriate for there to be differences in service within the context of formal dining ranging from 3-star dining to a 5-star dining experience. According to Williams (2012), “To put it bluntly, good is never good enough…employees in 5 star properties strive to be perfect all the time” (p. 1).

Nancy Mitchell is owner of the Etiquette Advocate, a firm that provides etiquette and protocol training. She has composed sixteen video segments that provide an extensive overview of dining etiquette. The first video begins with an introduction and the remaining fifteen videos cover everything from the invitation and RSVP to the toasting rules with proper dining etiquette mixed in between.

It has been one year since I started to be a banquet server. The experience of working as a banquet server has helped me to appreciate people hard work around the tables serving their clients without complaining their exhaustion. According to Christa Titus, the author of “The Definition of a Banquet Server,” “A banquet server is a person who serves food and beverages to guests at an event.” The servers work at many special events such as graduation ceremony or wedding feast. Some of their duties are serving the ordered dishes, cleaning up the leftovers and assisting guests with their menu items. From my observation, this career is a low class job which pays a little amount of money for the life expenses alone. The workers are paid by hour but the wages in each country are varied.
