1. When I first started helping my dad on the farm I didn't understand what tools did what but over the time I have learned. When I first began working at pioneer I didn't have any idea other what I was doing I just looked at it as if it was corn, over my 5 years I have learned a lot about it and explain many different things. From working at Pioneer Ron, Andrew, Pat and the other bosses explain many different things to me.
ReplyDelete2.When I first began working at pioneer I was just an employee and now I am a leader and I can explain things to the new kids and teach them different things. Looking into my future with an associate degree in diversified ag I think that I will have to know a lot about crops.
I was able to take responsibility by getting to work on time and making my own money to pay for gas and extra spending money. I am a more responsible person by working my SAE. I have increased my education in the dietary area and increased my communication skills with older residents and with other coworkers. I am able to fix something in the kitchen if it breaks and I help provide food for the residents. I have taken on more responsibility such as new employees ask me for help and I help show them the ropes of the job. Certain residents want certain things certain ways and I help them learn those and get them right. I am more responsible and I have more roles in my job. I have moved up the scale. I am able to make harder recipes of certain foods and deserts that the residents request. I am able to spend more time in the kitchen making food and cleaning the dishes after supper, lunch, or breakfast is over with.
ReplyDeleteOver the three year experience I have with my SAE, I have not grown my responsibilities at the store very much. Since I'm a high school worker, I don't work as many hours as the full time people, so I don't have the chance to earn manager status, and I'm not old enough for that anyway. My knowledge and skills toward my SAE, though, have grown exponentially. As I said in Monday's post, I learn a lot of trivial facts about produce, and meats. Sometimes I work with Evan, the dairy manager, and I learn about rotating product to ensure the freshest cheese, yogurt, and milk gets sold first. As a cashier, my communicating skills have grown as well. I have become a cheerful, peppy cashier whom talks to customers without worrying about looking stupid. I really enjoy it. Though my roles haven't increased, title wise, I have grown as a person, and that's what counts.
ReplyDeleteI have increased my knowledge and skills in this area because I know that when I have my own house, I will have experience in yard work, painting, staining, etc. I took responsibility by proving to myself I can be potent with work and get on time. Also, I earned money so I could help my parents pay for my car and pay for my gas. Having this job has given me a great responsibility and proven to myself that I can listen to instructions.
ReplyDeleteWhen I started helping my dad on the farm the wasn't much i could do because i was young and not as strong as I am now my grandpa didn't really trust me with a tractor yet so i just rode along with and with being to weak to do a lot of lifting I just watched and did what I could like get tools for my dad. Now it pretty much switched around I can operate everything on the farm help out with things and still learn more as I go.
ReplyDelete2.Now with me being able to do more bigger jobs like plant corn or harvest corn there are some simple jobs that i do but they are switching everyday.
1. I have increased my skills by talking to people that I don't know. I have increased my people skills. I know how to communicate with people weather they are in a good mood or if they are having a bad day. I have increased my ability to do activities that I don't want to do, because I know that they must get done. I have increased my communication skills. I can talk to people that I have not meet and be able to talk to them and keep a conversation going with them.
ReplyDelete2. I have learned the responsibilities that you are going to have to do things that you don't always want to do. When you have a job there are activities that you don't want to do, but you must do them as part of your responsibilities. I know how to care and worry about a person needs and help them in the best way I can. It helps me to know that you make a difference in peoples life if you are kind and help them.
1. My skills improve everyday, either from just talking to people and gaining social skills or cleaning, or learning to cook something every single day i am gaining something from working at The Leader Ship Center. Everyday i learn to be responsible and get things done in time which is a critical skill of daily life if i want to live on my own
ReplyDeleteOver the years my knowledge and skills have both increased greatly. Since I am older, I am able to do more things around the farm like hauling manure, silage, and even helping with harvest during the fall. I have become more knowledgable about how everything works together for one main goal. On our farm we grow crops to feed our cattle and once our cattle get big enough, we take them to become meat. Sad, but it's part of life and I know everyone (unless you're a vegetarian) has eaten a steak before. Delicious, huh? My roles and responsibilities have also increased. When I was younger I wasn't trusted with the larger machinery, which I don't blame them, I didn't trust myself with it either. Now that I'm older I know how to operate more machinery and I am able to help out more around the farm. My SAE taught me many responsibilities. It taught me to arrive on time, and good time management skills; balancing out my work, and sports, and social times. It also taught me the importance of being careful while working on the farm. There are many safety hazards and it's important to always make sure you are safe.
ReplyDeleteThroughout the season i learned which chemicals can and can't be mixed, I learned How to safely clean tanks in which chemicals were used. I learned the processes of planting research plots, and the maintenance that must be done on the fields. I learned the importance of the data we take. I learned to map plots, and navigate them. I learned how to properly take stand counts, tissue samples, and soil sample. I learned how to properly apply chemicals although i never applied them myself. I also learned about the importance of the mixing chemicals with the right ratios.
ReplyDeleteWhen I began my SAE I did the minimum work, and was not very knowledgable about my work. By the end of the season I was leading the group, through informing the group of the day's agenda. I was put in charge of mixing chemicals, and taking seed to fields being planted. I was expected to stay organized and collect all data taken and was taught how to transfer the data taken to the companies software.
