WELCOME TO MY weB-LOG

Hello and welcome to this exciting little piece of data. I will be capturing a quick view of what a member does on a daily basis in a first year, full term AmeriCorps position.
I will be writing up digests of my daily interactions within my position and participating in service events on Fridays and some Saturdays.
Hints and tips will also be provided, based on my thoughts and observations.
Feel free to give me feedback at steve.oetting@yahoo.com.

10/18/2010-10/22/2010

Yes, it has been awhile since I last posted on here and as you may have guessed, my position in which I serve is not what you would call amazing.  By this, it is simply meant that I do not have a position requiring me to do "new and exciting" things everyday.  In all honesty, it is an office position requiring me to spend a great deal of time at a desk.
Because of this, I tend to have very little to say once I have initially described whatever it is that I have done.

10/18
I worked on Bridgeway Care Paths, by entering the info into databases.
I also reviewed the Education Award pieces on OnCorps.

10/19-10/21
I spent most of my time this week entering Care Path data into the databases.  This data consisted of both the Initial forms and Updates.  I won't delve too deeply into what these forms require, due to the confidential nature of the materials, but suffice it to say the reason I am reviewing these forms and entering the data is to provide the director of my program proper info as to whether this program should be continued.


10/22
After a last minute change in the event, we went to Cody HS in Detroit.  Initially, we were to go to Ruth Ellis, but that event fell through, so we met up for 2 shifts at Cody HS.  At this event, we participated in multiple services.  Through working with City Year, we helped to clean up and paint parts of the high school.
I volunteered for the 2nd shift and was able to bond with some of the newer members while painting some benches in front of the high school and bathroom stalls on the second floor.
