From Green Blazers To Blue Corduroys

Isn't this so cool!!! I get a helmet I remember three things my first day at Cargill: Where are the PA Mountains/Hills This is a pretty cool job I wonder what the rest of the summer is going to be like I was working at Cargill  and I was going to be for the next twelve weeks the FSQR Intern, or as my one supervisor has told me, "You are going to learn so much about what we make here and the Science, Saftey, and Quality Assurance behind it that you are never going to look at food the same way again." This was exciting . My first three summers I have had great opportunities in PA Teaching with 4-H. I love this chance to really see what Food Industry is like prior to Student Teaching. This way I can have a great comparison of both prior to my final decision as to weather I want to be a teacher or not. I was very excited to be part of this great trip.

As I begin writing the second blog to reflect on my summer reading I also can't help but notice that the summer has flown by.

I also began reading this book differently too. Instead of reading it page for page I look at the title and ask myself what is one thing I hope to gain out of this chapter or something I should probably be asking Ms Romberger to prepare myself for the up coming school year. Chapter Eight : Classroom Procedures The first thing I did was ask Ms Romberger what her classroom procedure is. The way I look at student teaching that, yes it is my time to shine, I am showing up in the middle of the school year. If I walk in with twenty new classroom procedures, the stu...

Stuck in Nebraska for the summer I decided that I should probably reflect on this super cool internship that I am involved with.  I'm having one of my best summer experiences here in Nebraska working for Cargill in Columbus, Nebraska as the FSQR intern of the summer. I am working in a cooked meats plant which focuses in a bunch of different products.  But Cargill takes its privacy seriously so I can't really say what products I'm making for what companies but we are making a lot of cool products never the less. Columbus, Nebraska is also a newer plant only having been running since January of this year, so a lot of my projects are focus on production start up so far. Here's a run down on Weeks One - Six: Week One: Cargill Boot Camp This was when the internship started and we plunged right into being interns and part of Cargill. As expected this was training, as in plant training. Yep that's right we had to learn everything about the plant and how to be a ...
