Tool Day!
Our first Tool Day presentation was by a lady named Shanda Nielsen. She is self-publishing a book about getting rid of asthma. She talked to the students about the five people you need when you start a business:
1- The Dreamer
2- The person who says "yes"
3- The person who says "no"
4- A marketer
5- The planner
An important part of her message is "networking" - making connections and having friends because they will come back and be the people who help you achieve your dream. She can be reached at shandanielsen@yahoo.com for people interested in purchasing her book when it is available.
The second person who presented to us was Kimberly McAllister who sells shoes at Dillard's SouthTowne. She is talking about the importance of math in her job - in how the stockroom is organized and in calculating commissions. One of the most important things she brings to work every day is a positive attitude. She also thinks it's important to find the area that you like the best - she has found that she really enjoys selling in men's shoes because she can typically spend more time with each customer. (Even though she is assigned to Men's Shoes, you can go in and request her to help you in Women's.)
Our third presenter is Stacie Galata (Lena's aunt) who is a nurse. A lot of what she does on the job, besides helping patients, is writing. She is talking about signatures and specifically what the R.N. means and the important functions of her job.
A big part of the job of a nurse is dispensing medication.
In a typical hospital shift, you would take care of about six patients per shift. She is talking about the types of things you can hear with a stethescope and how nurses assess patients.
Being a nurse has helped her know some healthy choices to make in her own life.
Another important job of the nurse is to educate the patients.
Our fourth presenter is Rich Counter. He is a mechanic for Waxie's. He travels to fix machines that clean floors.
One of the most important things we can do for our health is keep a clean environment. You can contribute by keeping your hands clean (wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands) and pick up your area.
Math, handwriting and knowledge of computers are some of the critical things he learned in school that he uses on his job every single day.
