I've always been a very hands-on person. I grew up working on my father's hunting farm, where I partook in a wide array of meticulous manual labor on a daily basis. I could go from rebuilding broken down farm equipment, to measuring out wood to build things such as: new stands, feeders, and one devoted summer even a house. My hands on mentality showed itself in a few other forms as well. I was an apartment maintenance man where I constantly used my hands attacking something different daily, to my current job where I rebuild and flip things such as speakers for a profit.
Each of these reflects some aspect of my personality or my daily activities. For instance, I am currently learning how to play the piano and other forms of music and enjoy getting feedback; this could be considered a form of Performing Arts, as well as my participation in church and school-based chorus throughout the years. Additionally I combine my love of Visual Arts and Programming to create small video games or mess with websites for fun. As far as Mechanics & Construction go, fixing broken devices around my house before they were thrown away was something that I used to do, but haven’t for awhile. This leaves only one interest area almost completely unused, Office Management. I would consider this a work-based interest, and a lifestyle choice of sorts: I like having things organized and efficient. My current job, however, is as a team member, and it is not in my responsibilities to organize items or people, so therefore, this interest goes unused in my
Unfamiliarity, in the broadest sense, can evoke a feeling of fear or anxiety. However, my unique cultural upbringing has made me comfortable with unfamiliarity, and eager to embrace differences among people with compassion and tolerance. I am the product of a cultural infusion—I was born in the United Kingdom to an English father, but was influenced by the Turkish customs of my mother. While living in England, I grew up eating dinner on the floor, listening to Turkish music on the radio, and waking up to a poster of Kemal Ataturk. I spent every summer living in Turkey where I learned the language, saw the way different people lived, and became familiar with the practices of Islam. At 14 years old I was immersed in yet another culture when I
My first contact experience was deaf coffee that was held on friday january 22nd at the lighthouse church in puyallup. I was here for about 3 hours from 6-9pm. For me this experience was really weird because i’ve never been in a room of complete silence with so many people communicating so much before. If i hadn’t even notice the doors being widely opened i probably would’ve walked right by the room to be honest. First look at the room and it was quite spectacular. People of all race, ethnic background and culture were all smiling and enjoying each other company. First thought that came to mind was “wow, this is special”. People all getting along in acceptance and connected under one cause, American sign language. The people here are somehow more accepting than the regular people you would find in the outside world. So the first face that i notice is this guy i saw at highline signing at the table with some other people in the student union at highline. I met him earlier this week, his name was aj. I started there, figured i had at least one connection to the deaf community at highline. Went up fingers shaking just managed to get out hi my name Averi. In response he signed i know you, Averi correct? The syntax from ASL to english is still hard for me too cognitively figure out but i figured with
Some people like to stay in control of their life and avoid any amount of extraordinary risk to protect their self-disclosure. Other people don’t shy away from challenges as they are confident that certain obstacles are nothing more than just another thing standing in their way from living life to the fullest extent. Through personal experience, I’ve realized that personal comfort is nothing more than a variety of fears that limit me from challenging myself.
The basic lean manufacturing techniques I have been developing since I was a child. Making parts and finding ways to fix things has always been an inherent ability of mine. I remember once I had no way to change stripped screws without a screwdriver, so I melted a pen down and made a mold by placing it on the screw and then put it in ice water to solidify the mold and then I used it for a couple years till it wore down and broke.
I have been Interested in working on vehicles since I was a little kid, What really grabbed me and made me interested about working on vehicles was when I had to help fix them or just working on them in general.The reason why I want a job like these two jobs because it is something that I want to be around for the rest of my life and that I can pass it on to other people and help them with either of these jobs.
Throughout my life, I have strived to be a hard-working individual when it comes to school, my job, and family work. I always try to work quickly and efficiently, and make my work the best that it can be. Perfectionism is a major part of my life and that is one of the driving forces behind my hard work. Sometimes the drive to be perfect can limit my results, but I try my hardest to keep it from restricting me. I always give one hundred percent when it comes to completing various tasks, and find pride in being a hard-worker.
Did you ever stand up for something you thought was right even though a lot of people got upset with you? If so, what happened? If not, do you ever think you would ever be strong enough to do so?
These skills have been further underpinned by my studies in Art , where I have proved myself perceptive, dexterous, whilst also being resilient to criticism and able to review and refine, ultimately resulting in bettering my knowledge and
I learned that I am a visual learner and tactile learner (both have the same total) and that true, I like to work with my hands then actually type or write an essay, as I get instruction for a project, I like the teacher to explain on the board then talking and talking in class, I like taking notes to understand. I understand more if I highlight or underline important fact, that is why my work is all kinds of colour.
I can apply experience and personal skills gained in a variety of working and personal environments.
My mentor name was David Joe Ursy. He works for Joe McGee Construction. He works for Joe McGee on the farm portion of his business. He works on tractors, combines, welding, and farming crops. He has been working for Joe McGee for 20-30 years. To me it's fun and interesting. I like to do it some people don’t like it. When we started working on my project, I cleaned all the metal with a wire brush. Once I got it all the metal cleaned of rust, I started making the top after I got the top like I wanted it, I welded it and put all the nuts and bolts inside the table. I checked to see how it looked and took them out. I cleaned the camshaft and welded it to the flexplate.
Creating improvised structures like a shelter, a kitchen and fire is something that I have mastered. This has taught me to explore nature, but to go off route sometimes and seek new horizons. Being resourceful and navigating through the wilderness are expertise that can be applied to everyday life. I have also made use of my artistic skills in analogue and digital photography, street art, and film. These have taught me to appreciate the environment and be aware of the world around us.
Let me begin by explaining where I come from. My father, who is an architect, is very artistic and detailed oriented. I carry those same traits and naturally apply them to everything I do. I started out drafting railroad electrical circuits on a drafting table in 1992. As time went on, I began transitioning to computer drafting and slowly learning to write programmable scripts to speed up processes or automate functions within the drafting software. In addition to the knack for production and detail, I gained the position to manage the computer assisted drafting and design team. At this point I also discovered that I thoroughly enjoyed working with people and guiding them to a successful project outcome.
Ever since I was young, (I put a comma) I would always be in the kitchen helping out my parents or grandparents. The only kitchen tool I could use to help was the peeler because no one ever trusted me around a knife or the fire. A knife and sauté pan was all I wanted to use and work with but I only got stuck with peeling potatoes and carrots until I was seven.
