On Gymnasium, Campus Drive stands The Gastronome on the outskirts of California State University, Fullerton’s (CSUF) campus. This large, glass windowed building acts as the kitchen to all CSUF students who reside in the on-campus dormitories and apartments. The Gastronome is CSUF’s first official cafeteria available to provide on-campus residents with a pre-paid meal plan. On top of this, the Gastronome it is also open to non-campus residents who prefer to pay at the door. This wide spaced modern structure is able to hold 500 people at a time. Once inside the Gastronome, there are a variety of stations scattered throughout to get food from this buffet style place to choose from. For instance there is a salad bar, pizza, pasta, waffle, grill, …show more content…
For clarification, Mr. Allanson is the assistant food service director, who is in charge of running the front area of the Gastronome. As a Health Science major, the area I would like to go into is in the food industry. Whether it being a Health Inspector or as a Food Service Director is still up in the air. As an employee of The Gastronome, I found John the best person to interview. As soon as I asked John if he would give me some of his time for an interview, without hesitation, he said, “Yes of course. Whatever I can do to help you out. We can do it right after your shift or lunch.” It was in John’s nature to be helpful. That same day after I was done with my shift, I went to the back of the Gastronome were two small offices, food preparation station, freezer, refrigerators, dry storage, and cleaning supplies are located. First, I searched for John in his cluttered office. After 5 minutes of searching to no surprise, I found him in the back of the dry storage hidden behind stacks of boxes. Since I saw he was busy I told him that we could reschedule for another day. He declined and stated it was as good a day as any other. I asked where …show more content…
John took a minute to think about this one as he kept unloading the salt and pepper shakers. He hesitated, then stated, “I found that my work experience was far more helpful than any schooling gave me in this particular field. However, you can’t get far here without a degree. I was worked for a man for 10 years until I decided I wanted his job, but I couldn’t because I did not have the educational background for it. So when I was 30 I went back to school for a food management degree. I wanted to be in charge of an operation, rather than being told what to do. If I were you I would stay in school, it is worth it, and with a degree, you will have no setbacks in your career as I did. Going back to school did help a lot in many aspects of understanding safety and management, but there is nothing like hands-on experience to figure it out.” With that, I thanked John for taking the time to be interviewed, just as always he gave me his bright smile and assured it was no

After my interview with a former security officer at the 9/11 memorial, I learned a whole new perspective of the site. In comparison to what I had observed in my short time there, my informant, Ricky who worked the site for years was able to give me an insight on what I was not able to observe. At first, I was hesitant to bother my friend for an interview since I knew he was busy with his own family or even work. My plan was to interview officers at the memorial while they were on the job during my lunch break. After getting denied by countless officers at the memorial, I gave up and sent Ricky a message on FaceBook, asking if he had time this week for a couple of questions about his time spent working at the memorial. Since I have known him since I was a child along with his brother, without hesitation, he agreed and invited me to watch our favorite show “The Walking Dead” at his house on Sunday. I arrived at his house and I treated his family to dinner as a way of saying thanks for helping me with my assignment. However, during my interview, I didn’t feel like it was much of a formal interview, instead, I felt like it was more of a friend to friend conversation about his past experiences at a job. (I was literally laying down on his couch, petting his cat while interviewing him questions off my laptop).
I had put an application in at Publix, I went back a couple days later sat in my car for a little bit and decided I was going in there and ask to speak to the store manager. I went in asked for the store manager and he promptly came out. I immediately stuck my hand out and gave him a firm handshake and introduced myself and started spilling out my experience while working at Winn Dixie for the past 6 years in NC. He asked me my name and then told me he would pull my application. Before I could reach my house, he called me to set up an interview for the next day. I went to the interview and felt very comfortable with all the question he had asked me because Ihad been doing the same type of work for Winn Dixie, and every question he asked me
Changing the type of food to incorporate delectable choices for students that aids the young palate. Another topic of discussion would be school expenses for other educational supplies that have other important use like desk or electronics that would often need replacement from overuse. With the increase in savings, the school could also explore different options for those students who do not meet open campus policy requirements. Disregarding the teens who are not off campus during lunch to have similar advantages; thus, no food is wasted and the process will become
While attending both GMU and NVCC I have been working close to or at full time. This has not only had the impact of me needing to balance my time between the two, but also taught me the value of finding real world applications for the knowledge that I’ve attained. While working at my current job at Trader Joe’s, I have been able to use knowledge that I’ve learned in both my general education and degree specific classes to make me a better employee and trainer. After having worked on a research paper about a plant of our own choosing (I choose apples) and how it related to humanity and what its history with us was, I was able to take both take both my new knowledge of apples and ciders and help people at work make more informed purchases. My education classes have also given me several skills in teaching people how to do new tasks and learn new information and I’ve been able to better teach our new and current employees about new ways we’re doing stuff in our stores and the items that we sell.
As the end of the week approaching, I was getting nervous with conducting my one on one interview with Officer Alexander. Mr. Alexander is a cousin to one of my good friends, but I never met him before. The interview was scheduled Saturday February 18, 2017 to sit at Café Café on Clearview for breakfast. Mr. Alexander was not able to make it to Café Café, so he asked if I may meet him at home with his family. My friend offer to take me to her cousin’s house because I was not sure if that was a good idea. Upon arrival to Officer Alexander’s house he was outside washing his truck, and smoking a cigar. Which, I may add was not a pleasing smell to my nose for about fifteen minutes. After being introduced he asked his
Food plays an important role in our lives, especially in college. Food affects people financially, nutritionally, and educationally. The dining halls at Virginia State University are a major source of meals and food for students. Needless to say, it is important that those students can eat at these dining halls. The problem with this is that the cost of campus dining is way too expensive for the limited options we have.
The Blades of the Prince have just released new details about the next line of their famed Hover Tanks. Meant to replace the older Hover Tank A-3, the new Hover Tank B-1 is a departure from the old design philosophy of direct battlefield awareness embodied by the extensive use of transparisteel in the A-3. The B-1 addresses several flaws that became apparent after extensive use and testing.
College athletes have always been worked beyond imagine, and it is ridiculous to think that even in today’s society, college athletes are not paid. Unlike regular college students, student athletes are not able to work jobs or make extra money because they put over forty hours a week in to their respective sport. More often than not college athletes are taken advantage of because they put their bodies at risk for injury and have no insurance or income to make it worthwhile. Of course, some college athletes do go on to make millions of dollars, but that is only the case for a small percentage of college athletes, and since college sports brings in billions of dollars a year, college athletes should earn at least a small profit. Furthermore,
To many, Northeastern’s dining halls rank fairly well in comparison with other schools. Although there have been many complaints that the menu is rarely changed, Northeastern does tend to offer a varied selection of food. In a recent survey, students were asked to rate Northeastern’s dining halls on a scale of 1-5, 5 being the best. About 36 percent surveyed ranked the food a “3” and about 57 percent ranked it a “4.” In general, Northeastern students think decent things about the dining halls. Some of the complaints however, included that there are a lot of fried and fattening foods, repetitive menus, and that vegetarian food is not always readily available; you sometimes have to wait for it to be cooked for you (e.g., veggie burgers).
The Maryland Dining halls have been an unfortunate and familiar scene in my first two years at the University of Maryland. I dreamed of the day when I can no longer be required to be on the meal plan and looked forward to making delicious and fresh meals. But, after my first week of living without a food plan I realized I wasn’t prepared to function properly without a food plan. Often, I relied on unhealthy and inexpensive alternatives that satisfied my hunger. I didn’t know the first thing about living a balanced and healthy life without a food plan and I was glad that I’m not the only one with this problem.
Second amendment rights are a controversial subject, but in her article, “A Peaceful Woman Explains Why She Carries a Gun,” Linda M. Hasselstrom explains why those rights are important to her. Hasselstrom uses logos, pathos, and ethos to entertain readers and to inform them of why she carries a gun.
While preparing for my career, While searching for opportunities I took initiative and worked with professionals, children, and peers. Specific experiences that are beneficial are working with OSU Extension Services, URAP, and with Salem Health. While volunteering at OSU Extension Services I learned a lot about nutrition outreach. I helped at the local food bank, assisted in nutrition classes for both adults and children, and helped at an elementary school. The opportunity to work for Extension as the instructor for the Spanish nutrition class arised, I am learning a lot and it has helped my public speaking skills and confidence. I learned about what it feels like to be a professional and have those responsibilities. In addition, working as the URAP Scholar is giving me research experience related to nutrition. I’m getting to be part of a team and collaborate with OSU Dietetic Interns in their research. Working as a nutrition services associate at Salem Health is also a wonderful opportunity that allows me to be around the dietetic field. There, I learn about diets while working with also having patient interactions. Throughout my experiences I gained teamwork experience, problem solving skills, and improved my time
