This is the local employment opportunity I have chosen https://ca.indeed.com/jobs?q=apprentice+mechanic&l=port+coquitlam%2C+bc&vjk=82a33dcd2e07a155&advn=9413692541756165

The volunteer opportunity I have chosen is called “Snow Angel”. During harsh weather, when there is lots of snow or ice on the ground and it’s hard for people with limited transport options or are not capable to shovel or plow snow it would be my job as the volunteer to help clear away as much of this as I can to help them get to work or school and have a clear pathway to walk safely. When it snows, the organization that runs this volunteer service pairs people that have limited mobility with neighbors willing to lend a hand and remove snow and ice from people’s driveways and walkways. This could benefit my future in a number of ways, one of them being I could put this on my resume to apply for jobs. Another being, it will help with school, given that I need at least fifty hours volunteer work to graduate. Last but not lease, I am passionate about getting involved in this because it is to help my neighbors and the community I live in, and that is a great thing. To help someone in need of assistance is always a good thing to do. I also like to be outside especially when its cold out it gives me a refreshed feeling that I love.  It would be a great way to have fun while helping others, I enjoy being outside, especially in cold weather and I know how much it means when people help me so I would like to pass that on to someone else who may need a helping hand.

The employment opportunity that I have chosen is Heavy Duty Mechanic Apprentice. This could benefit my future because I’m thinking about becoming a Heavy Duty Mechanic as my career. This could help in many ways because I can put it on my resume when applying and I also need to complete a three year apprenticeship to obtain my license to become a Heavy Duty Mechanic. I would learn a great deal about the job and maybe even a potential employer one day.  For this job it is required that I have some knowledge as to how large machinery engines work and how to problem solve with them as well as be physically capable to fix the engines.  Its not just about the engines either, there are other parts of the machine that can have problems and I need to be able to identify and fix those as well. In addition I would need basic reading and writing as well as a good handle on math. The current skills I have might not be enough but I still have some knowledge as to how engines work and how to fix them, I am good at math and English literacy and I like to learn about how machines work. Some steps I could take to be more suitable for this position are to take some courses next year like automotive life skills 11 and engineering 11 to help improve my problem solving ability as well as my ability to fix and identify problems with an engine and other parts of the machine too.

Digital Footprint

How might your digital footprint impact your high school experience… It could have down side on your social life, like say if you were to post something about yourself online and people didn’t like whatever it is you did in the post.  this could make school life really hard for you, possibly losing friends or just becoming an outsider in general.  On the other hand, it could improve your social life at school, like if you’re posting positive messages and are friendly to everyone then it could have a very positive outlook on your school life in terms of being included or making more friends. It could also have a positive or negative impact with your teachers if they see your posts, especially if it’s there first impression of you. This would have a very large impact on how your teachers view you.

Self Regulation

What techniques around digital self-regulation could you use during class time that could contribute to academic success… To properly regulate my self digitally, I could turn off notifications on my phone and/or put it on silent. Even better I could leave it in my locker until class is over. I could also limit myself to only using it in between classes that way I get it out of my system a little and am not as tempted to use it in class.  Then when I would get into class, I would shut it down and leave in my bag or before I get to class I go put it in my locker until it’s time for my next class.

School Culture

What elements of school culture are necessary for you to be successful both academically and socially… I feel as though you must be aware of how you want to be successful and then find out a strategy that will best help you accomplish that. I feel as though everyone should really try to get involved and delve into there school life to be more successful like joining a club or a sports team, also every one should just generally have a more positive outlook on there school life so that they can be more involved because if your happy be at school and putting in the work I am sure that everyone can be successful at school.  We should appreciate the work that goes into creating the school culture like how the teachers and students create there own clubs for people to join or like how all the coaches arrange the volley ball or rugby games and all the students having fun at school as a community.
