Professionalism

12/15/2015

0 Comments

 
We studied professionalism skills for work. Professionalism is a skill of good judgement, being polite and is being trained to do the job well. Some jobs have strict regulations on how employees are to follow policies and treat their co-workers with respect.

Trip To Walmart

12/15/2015

We took a trip to Walmart to learn how to take care of yourself when you live on your own.
When working with a budget it will save money in the long run. It is important to look for sales and discounts. When you go shopping don’t always get name brand items because it can be expensive.
So look for the store brand instead for one it can be cheaper and two it could be just as good or better.

Lupita came to visit us from Direct Center for Independence. I like to meet new people and I want to learn to be more independent and Direct can help with that. One day I want to live with some friends. Direct can help me learn to budget, learn to ride the bus, go shopping, and clean my apartment.

I really liked Jennifer's style of dance. I like to join in and have fun. I also enjoyed talking to her and learning about the different classes she teaches.

Lupita came to visit our workshop from Direct Center for Independence. She let us know about some of the services Direct offers such as:
  • Information & Referral: Information on all types of resources to assist you in becoming independent
  • Independent Living Skills: Teaches you all the skills you need to know in order to live on your own
  • Peer Support/Peer Mentor: If you have a skill you can help to teach someone else
  • My Life Program: DDD Program to assist you in reaching your goals of independence
I have been to direct and worked with Christian Padilla on learning how to budget my money and I found it to be very informative. I also had a lot of fun and got to meet some new people. I suggest you give them a call and go check them out. You can call and schedule a tour.

This Week's Blog

This week we practiced specific skills used in different jobs. Many workplaces expect good performance and that you care about your job and try your hardest. A grocery bagger must be quick putting customer’s groceries in a bag and must be careful not to overload the customer’s bag. The duties depend on job roles and you must take the tasks seriously and be responsible doing the work correctly.

Money is the Best Thing in the World!

This week we learned how to read a paycheck and how to budget. I was surprised at how many other expenses you will have when you move out on your own like dish soap, vacuum cleaner bags, and cable. But if you stick to a budget you will be able to pay your bills and save money!

We are learning how to read a paycheck and know what taxes are and the difference between gross and net pay. Having a personal budget will help me save money and do the things I want!
