The work ethics assignment was taking a survey that asked what you thought of yourself when it came to having certain qualities, such as being devoted, pleasant, and conscientious. In truth, this wasn't a very good way conducting a test, because no one would put that they are not dependable or that they are not pleasant. You don't think ill of yourself, typically. However, the test did make you think about how you truly are to others around you, so score aside, you do earnestly look at yourself and judge whether what you do is ethically right or wrong.
I learned, based of the readings provided and the test, that I am an ethically good person. I am dependable and hard working. This will help in a professional environment because my employers will be able to trust me and keep me on their team as a valued member. If I continue my current values I would be able to help any company and act as a good employee.

Communication
Why is Each Situation Different?
With communication, each situation that you communicate to someone in will always be different. This is due to the medium used to communicate, i.e. if you are using a phone to text, an in person, verbal conversation, or even if you are using an abnormal way of talking such as morse code or sign language. Beside the medium, each conversation you have will be different because the topic will vary, the way you feel at the moment determines how reprehensible you are to other's ideas, the person you are communicating with may change, and the way other's feel changes how they communicate. For example, if someone is in an angry mood, they typically aren't going to want to communicate for a long period of time and generally do not want their ideas questioned. However, on the flip-side, someone who is nothing but happy, he will communicate with others for long periods of time, if need be and be open to topics and ideas.
What are the expectations of each person?
The expectations of the receiving end of communication changes per person, and more broadly the type of person. A friend would expect to communicate using a less formal tone and with open honesty about the topics. A family member would expect to hear the truth of a situation but with a more formal tone, yet loving, tone. A potential employer would expect a very formal tone that says only good things that would help their company.
Points to consider when talking to your mentor
Points to consider when talking to your mentor would be to be calm, loud, and clear in your speech. In actual conversation, you should speak formally and to-the-point to best not take up too much of your mentor's time. Also, you should be cheerful and not too serious to the point where you ruin the atmosphere of the company.

Sunday, September 11th Getting Ready for your Mentoship
Summary and Reflections on "Getting Ready for your Mentorship"
Summary- The article starts out by telling the reader to do everything he can in his upcoming internship because doing so will only help you in the long run. The article then leads into tips about your beginnings on the job, which include simple tasks such as being on time, talk to your employer, figure out what you will be doing, and how to act professionally. The article also points out the obvious "dos and don'ts" of an internship. The "dos" consist of being on time, working hard, being positive, respect others, etc, while the "don'ts" include being late, being laze, disrespectful, dress inappropriately, and so on. Finally, how to end your internship is appropriately the last topic in the article. It tells the reader that you can possibly earn credit for your internship and that you should leave with all paper work completed, at least a week's notice, and and "in the works" projects finished.
Reflections- The article is pretty obvious for the most part. Your internship matters because you can use it on a later resume to help get in colleges or jobs. Everyone knows you should be on-time, show respect, and work hard in a professional setting. I have had my internship for a few months now and have tried my best to adhere to this code from the get-go. It is true that you should use your internship to learn about what it is you want to do in the future, so doing your best work and immersing yourself in the job will allow you to understand better what your future job may entail. One new thing I learned from this article was that you can get a certificate for your internship at career.fsu.edu/cip. So, overall the article is good for general notes about an internship and how to act.

Aug 29th Kyle's Blog
In this video, I am showing that I am a leader because I take the initiative to do work, put information into an excel spreadsheet, that I was not told to do. I also am able to see that doing this work would help the entire workforce and help improve the job.
2A-
Reflection: In Russo's talk, he mentions how people do care about the problems plaguing society, however the reason why no one chooses to change the world is that they don't care. I don't believe you should care about everything; if you do than you wouldn't be able to focus on one problem and solve it. So, you must choose one issue that you devote yourself too in order to help change the problem and find a solution. This is the only way for things to change, and if everyone finds that one thing then the world will change as a whole.
Statement- I hope to be able to change how people are treated by going through the court systems and challenging the current laws and limitations that bind us.
