Today was also a creative and fun day where we started off with learning about video production and film-making. We have brainstormed about our ideas on what the film’s plot will be about such as comedy, horror, or even action. We also chose our positions for filming the movie and as a team, work together to produce a great movie.
Stepup week 1- day 1
Today we went over what ball. It taught us that being bicaultural is a great thing. Also i made up ideas for the flim. Today was fun.
StepUp Week 1 Day 2
I disliked the walk because it was a bit chilly. Because I am in the year-round film group with AMA, the training with the video production was pretty boring and was a lot of reviewing. I learned more about bicultural and resilience. Brainstorming ideas with the group was really interesting because their minds are really creative. But overall, today was an interesting day.
Week 1 Day 2 Tommy X
Today we learned the basics of filming and what it is about. We learned different roles of a film making team and how did they affect the movie. We also came up with our first story.
step-up week 1, day 2
gotta be honest, today I was very tired because I didn’t get enough sleep. But that was my fault. My new group was meh, but at least we’re moving around. I certainly dislike the fact that we have to eat lunch last. But at the same time, we have to serve so that’s understandable. But the least favorite part of today is the B.A.L.L lesson. MY GOD, it was super boring. The lesson should’ve been fun if it wasn’t the fact that the lesson didn’t made us entertained. But at least I learned about BI-culture. For now on, I’m gonna give out rates through out the program. I’ll give this, 5/10. Not too bad but not too good…
Step-up Week 1 Day 2
Today we were given insight of B.A.L.L(bicultural active living lifestyle) and how it applies to our daily lives. Personally for me, I am apart of two cultures with me being Somali-american. I have strong sense of cultural identity on both parts, even though sometimes my two cultures clash. In Somali culture we are more conservative than the western cultures of America, were the people end to be more loose with their morals. But in both cultures creativity is praised and loved, finding solutions are also praised in Somali culture. We value poetry and oral traditions, we tribes used to feud both tribes would send their poets and it never ended in bloodshed since words are valued.
Step-Up Week 1 Day 1
I feel like I learned a lot on just the first day, especially how much of a social outcast I’ve become. We took a tour of our part of the building. It was hot but I think that most of us survived. We then did a reading and a math test. School just got out yet here we are testing. It wasn’t bad though. It was short and simple. Next, we were gathered together downstairs in one of the rooms for icebreaker activities. It was very awkward and being the introvert that I am, made it more awkward. After that, we went up to the computer lab to watch a video produced by one of our staff that was about finance. It was interesting
Step-Up week 1 day 1
So my first day at work is pretty stressful. For starters I had to wake up at 6:00am to get ready and that night I didn’t get any sleep so i’m running off of little to no sleep. Also on my way to work I took the wrong bus and ended on the other side of the town. So I had to call my mother so she can come pick me up and drop me off over here. So far my real first day is kind of lame, to be completely honest with you. The staff here is pretty nice its just that when you don’t have anyone to talk to or relate to its just so monotonous (boring). So far today i’ve learned some steps to help me save and manage money. Which I highly appreciate because I know I will need it in my future. As well so far the only major downfall about this job is how I have to get here I literally take a four minute bus ride and then walk 34 minutes everyday to work. Therefore I believe I can learn so much from this job and i’m happy that I chose this job and believe once I get into things that it will be fun. 🙂
Step Up Week 1 Day 1
while it’s fun being back again for another summer I tend to always dislike orientation week be it work or school, because I am bored and maybe its the award atmosphere because not everyone is as close to each other as they will be next week or 8 weeks from now. All in all I think I like this group even if they are quite than the bunch from last year, i also think that we learn some pretty important things such as financial management which I wish I thought about before I blew my money. but I guess that something I could work on this summer.
step up week 1 day 1
today was my first day working with step up and so far it has gone well. there is a big warehouse in the back and has a sort of basement. we had pizza for lunch and we played a couple of games that were fun. i dont really know anyone here and i’ve been pretty quiet. i was a little nervous at first because im not that good at meeting new people. we watched a video about how to get good credit and stuff like that which was pretty interesting. I hope that i have a good and fun experience here and i had a good first day here.
