You will have moments in your life when you feel like you have made a difference for another person. If this has already happened for you, tell me what that looked like. If it hasn't yet, tell me what you think it will be like.
I work with this lady Bonnie Lindow she is in her upper 50's and is not up on the technology as I am and I have helped her figure out just simple steps that have made her job a lot easier to do. To me its just simple stuff but to her it means a lot more having to do things a longer way. We have created a great friendship along the way as well. She has taught me administration stuff as I have never worked in an office setting before either so it has been a give take lasting relationship. I find you can learn something from anyone you meet usually at some point.

Week 11 Blog Post
How is it going? In field, in classes, just in general. I'm checking in to see how you are as we begin to wind down the term.
We get a new Executive Director on November 16th Raechel Sherfield. Bonnie finds out if the board will hire her on as a permanent administrator assistant this coming wk at their board meeting. She pretty much has been the glue to keep this place running smoothly. If she leaves I think they will struggle for awhile. She has put in her year's time awhile ago already from the program through the Senior Center. I have been making my decisions on what classes to take for my last semester and what to carry over for the summer. I think I will end up taking the rest online that are available just so I can make money at my new job. I started driving taxi on October 17th for the elderly and handicapped as that is pretty much most of my clientele. I really like it so far and the pay is pretty good for start out too. As I told you I was accepted into UW Oshkosh last week for their online leadership program. So hopefully when we get a new director I can get some of my assignments questions for field answered but yet I don't want to bombard her too much right away. This semester has been a lot easier than the summer which has been nice so who knows what the spring will bring me...
