Day 136: Earning My Ears... Again

Today was assessment day! We started out by taking the paper test, and I missed about 10 questions. We went over the ones we missed and what the right answer was, then started doing all the positions. We did greeter first then fast pass greeter. Then we moved to wheelchair assist, spur exit, and spur unload. We did spur dispatch, grouper, and tower to end it. 

During my run in grouper, I asked a woman how many were in her party. She said 9, so I started putting them in rows. Then she said "do you want me to count the kids? If so, we have 11". Really? Then we went to lunch. We headed back up to the training room to do some updates on disability services, fast pass, and radio use, then we passed! We took the red "earning my ears" ribbon off our name tag and we were official!

We talked with our trainer about the college program and housing and whatnot until the end of our shift then we went home. I ended up going to bed pretty early because tomorrow is my first shift on my own, and I'm getting there just in time for park open.

Day 16: Last Day of Training and Professional Internship Fun

Today was my last day of training, y'all and good news: I passed! I have officially earned my ears at Bayview Gifts! It was kind of a long and stressful day, but it feels good to know I'm ready!

So, I have been working steadily on my applications for professional internships for about two weeks now. I still have a year of school to go, so I feel I could stand to build up my resume a bit before I'm competitive with the others who are applying, but I still want to go as far through the interview process as I can to prepare myself for when I apply again post-grad. 

I will be keeping track of the professional internships I'm applying to and my progress below as well as a timeline of whatever, if any, progress I make, just as a reference in case anyone who reads this is curious about the process.
