Endersession Blog Post 2

The results of the personality test say I'm:

"distinctively expressed introvert
moderately expressed intuitive personality
slightly expressed thinking personality
moderately expressed judging personality"

I wouldn't want to work in some sort of office environment for endersession. I don't want to be stuck doing the same task everyday like I was during my internship. I think I would rather have a job where I'm doing different tasks everyday.

Chapter 4-6 QQC

Chapter 4

"You would not think common animals could be rejiggered to fit nutritionist fashion, but in fact some of them could be and were, in response to the 1977 and 1982 dietary guidelines as scientists discovered how to breed leaner pigs and select for leaner beef."

Wouldn't altering the animals DNA in order to obtain leaner meat lead to even more health problems?

This doesn't seem natural and may lead to other problems.

Chapter 5

"You might think that a national fixation on nutrients would lead to measurable improvements in public health. However the underlying nutritional science and the policy recommendations based on that science would both have to be sound."

If these recommendations are based entirely on hypothesis, what will happen if that hypothesis is proven untrue?

This quote makes it seem as though changes pertaining to nutrition are halted do to constant bickering amongst to different parties.

Chapter 6

"While it is true Americans post 1977 did shift the balance in their diets from fats to carbs so that fat as a percentage of total calories in the diet declined, we never did cut down on our total consumption of fat; we just ate more of other things."

Were they focusing too much on eliminating fat they simply forgot about other bad contents in food?

It seems as though people have been focusing on reducing fat without paying any attention to any other bad contents in food. Perhaps they should have been working on reducing all the bad contents of food rather than just one. Then again if they did that it may lead to more situations where scientists tamper with food and supposedly improve it.

Enderseesion Blog Post 6

Three endersession possibilities that could make my resume stand out are opertunities that I have mentioned before. I could work at Sony Online Entertainment, Unite Hair Products, or the Art Institute. These places just seem like they could be ineresting. They all seem like they would look interesting on a resume. We know of people who have either worked or are currently working for these companies. So I think I could work as an intern at one of these three places.

Endersession Blog Post 5

Some skills I would like to acquire before high school ends are more communication skills. Over the past four years here I hardly ever talked to anybody. I never did open up to anyone. I'm also still terrified of speaking in front of crowds even after all the countless presentations I gave here. I don't really expect to overcome this fear of public speaking entirely though.

Since high school is almost over I don't think I'd be able to develope better communication skills in such a limited amount of time. I'm not even sure if there are places I could work that would help me develope these skills. I could just work as an intern in an office environment where I'd have to answer a phone all day, but that doesn't seem interesting. As I said before, I'm not interested in working in an office doing the same task every day. The best I could do now is work somewhere where the job is easy or familiar.

My aunt and uncle work for this company. I think they can get me a job there. I would probably be organizing their products in a warehouse somewhere.

I might know someone who works here. There is a possibility they take in interns.

I worked as an intern at the Maritime Museum last year. This is a place I'm familiar with and they'll probably have me do the same work.

Animal Shelter

I think I could volunteer at an animal shelter. I like animals and I've taken care of pets before.

I think I might know someone who will let me work as an intern here.
