What I have done here is I collected all the notes we have taken in the pasted couple days to prove my point. Which is FDR and Obama being very similar. They both came into office in a time of need. Americans were looking for someone who would change our economic state and get us back on our feet. They both had a way with words, and people found there words inspirational. They both had different views then the past presidents and this made them very popular. Another thing I find very similar is the both came in with new ideas for the running of certain things such as healthcare and or agencies to help the public. They both seem for the people and I believe this makes them similar.

i think my company as a whole would have sunk but if it was only the department i worked in then it would have done really well because i worked in the volunteer department meaning no pay. the wild animal park would have not done well because its something people go to as a luxury or something to do for fun and they would not have money to spend on something like this.

"i went off alone, an' i sat and figured. the sperit's strong in me, on'y it ain't the same. i ain't so sure of a lot of things."
this shouws that jim casey is really taking time to learn about what he truly believes it also shows that he is lost and confused.


pg 29 3rd paragraph
this shows that when he prayed nothing changed so this probably made him feel like god wasnt real or he was not a good person and he was a hypocrite because he would preach something and do another so he probably is depressed and feels bad.

'there's me with all them people's souls in my han'-responsible an'feelin my responsibily -an' ever' time, i layed with one of them girls."
same thing as what i said about the last quote
pg 32 3 paragraph
this one shows that he truly loves people and that he liked and wanted to preach because it made people happy he reminds me of a hippie

Photo Essay

When I woke up in the morning of the first day of internship I was excited but nervous. I took a shower and put on my black slacks and a professional gray blouse. As it got closer to the time I needed to be there I started feeling sick to my stomach from all the nerves and anxiety of wondering what it would be like. My stomach was so bad I had to miss out on breakfast, so I just headed out the door. Upon arriving i had a million thoughts going through my head. Will I make a good first impression? Will I have the skills to complete the tasks that are asked of me? But I pushed all thoughts aside and pulled it together.

I walked through the door with confidence. Ready for whatever was coming next. In the back room of the bungalow sat my mentor Tim. He got up and proceeded towards me. I extended my hand out to shack his "Hi nice to finally meet you I'm Tierra." The room was dime and lacked color. My first impression judging by the room was that it is a boring environment, but it was everything but that when the clock hits 10 and the volunteers start checking in the room is filled with laughter and joy! Tim began to introduce me to a few of the volunteers some of them were older but still very full of life. What I loved about working with some of the older people was they had very interesting life stories and always had a tip to give me from their experiences. The thing that was so great about this environment was since they are volunteers everyone was happy to come in and donate their time each day because it's not something they are getting paid to do.

The volunteers loved to learn new things and interact with people. They also got a lot of joy out of helping guest. One said "it makes me feel important because the guests need help and they turn to me for answers and most of the time I can help and if I can't I will find out for them and for the next visitors that will need my assistants." Sometimes I would walk through the park and see guests that are looking a little lost and just ask if they are looking for something because I wanted to also be helpful. I wanted to experience the feeling that the volunteers talked about when they helped the guests. From helping people find their way around the park, something I thought was so simple made me realize that the simplest things in life can make you happy. When I began one of my projects in surveying the volunteers I got a chance to learn about other people's lives and their accomplishments. It gave me an idea of what keeps them moving forward. I think this surveying process made me grow and change my thought on life and what I can accomplish within my life time. I thought to myself I can start making a change and helping someone other than myself right now in this internship experience. This thought turned in to my own personal project.

I knew that I could be of a assistants to this organization because I had an opinion that was a new perspective for them to take in to account. I wanted to make sure that I could leave my organization with something that was useful for the wild animal park, so I began observing the park. After a couple days I found a service that could use improvement. It really all began when my grandfather wanted to go to the wild animal park but said "that is way too much walking for me." I looked in to the service more and more and as I did so it became a research project in my paper I suggest ideas for a more efficient service. This was very helpful for a lot of the volunteers and the employees because it informed them on things they never knew or thought about like where do you go to get information for the ADA service, where the stops actually are, that some guest didn't know the service was available. But the greatest part is that I might be a part of some of the changes we may see in the park very soon. I feel like I have helped them grow as an organization but also may help guest in the long run that have trouble accessing certain areas of the park. This project took me most of the time I was here at internship along with the project came a lot of experiences.

At the end of one of the many days I spent at internship. I was walking through the park with another intern, we made our way to the lions were we encountered a face to face with 2 lions. The only thing separating us was a layer of glass. The Lions stared for awhile and like nothing I have ever seen before it started to roar at us. The roar was so powerful that we could feel the vibration of the sound that we being projected out of the lion. I was amazed I could not believe that I got a chance to experience something like this. They hardly ever do anything like what I got the chance to witness. When I told the story to the volunteers that have been here for a numerous about of years they were amazed as well. Another experience that really meant a lot to me was when I got the opportunity to go up in a helium balloon that rises way above the park so you can see far in every direction it was beautiful. It was something I had never got a chance to experience. What I loved about being at internship Is everyday brought something so different and new. There was no day were everything was already planned for me I felt more in charge of myself. It gave me a since of adulthood. This was an experience that cannot be taught in school.

ideas for photo essay

this one will be first and i want to talk about what it was like before i came and before i went in and the feeling about internship just to get the reader hooked and into what will come with this whole experience.

i want this to go second to get people an idea of what it was like going in to the build maybe describe what it looked like. also to see what I'm talking about and get an idea of my work space.

I want this to go 3rd because i think it would be a good time to introduce what i did well i was there and also to talk about how i have contributed and what that can mean for the park.

this i want to go at the end talking about how it has made me feel more connected with people and how i felt like i was apart of something that affected more then just me.

I chose this picture to represent the animal side i was thinking of maybe talking a little bit about the animals because i was at the wild animal park but I'm also thinking that it could be at the end wrapping up my thoughts maybe saying something like even though i worked with people i was learning about the animals just from being in this environment.

Tim Rupe Interview

After his long career in counseling, he continues to help people

In a bungalow that resides right outside the gates of the park, you will find a man named Tim Rupe. When you first walk through the door you are greeted with a warm smile followed by a friendly hello, the room is deem and quite but the people that fill the room are glowing and full with life. These are the kind of people that make up the environment of the Wild Animal Park.

The Wild Animal Park is home to over 3,000 animals. People come from all over the world to enjoy this one of a kind park. In order for the park to function properly it takes a lot of background and production work. As people make their way through the park, they will most likely run into red shirted volunteers. These volunteers are spread throughout the park to ensure that guests have the best experience possible. Tim is the manager of the volunteer department and part of the production team that helps keep this park functioning properly. He is an intelligent hard worker that takes pride in what he does. Even after his long career in counseling, he continues working to help people in the ways he knows how. Tim has taken the time to give young adults like me insight to what the working world is like through his eyes and the unique experience the park has to offer.

Tim grew up on the East Coast in a "small town where diversity was nonexistent". This made him realize that he wanted to immerse himself in all the different cultures that he could. Talking to people seemed so natural for Tim. This all made more sense when he added “It wasn’t until taking some of the core requirements in classes in psychology that I truly realized that’s what I loved to do. My father is a Luther pastor so I grew up always around people and always involved in things in the community so I think it makes sense that, that’s where I sort of leaned my direction".

After talking about his background I wanted to get an idea of how he ended up at the zoo. He started by taking me through the emotions of what it was like for him being in college, and preparing for a job. I asked what how he felt when he was in college about to move forward in the working world and if he was scared? “I wouldn’t describe the feeling as scared but I definitely had a lot of anxiety, but I think that’s pretty typical as much as you try to build your confidence by gaining experiences and skills you’re always going to have that. I think it’s a good kind of energy. It’s the same adrenalin that I wake up with every morning that I’m excited to continue doing what I’m doing. When someone pushes me to try something new or look at something in another way even though you are going to have anticipation and anxiety everything will help you to grow.” He began to talk about how he was always involved in many different community efforts. One being a volunteer at the zoo this experienced opened a door to his job. “In late 2005 I watched the zoos website a lot and kept up with plants and animals and at one point I noticed a job opening and it was for management of volunteers and helping to train them. I thought to myself I am ready for something different” He then went on to say that “it not necessarily a change in career it’s a change in population because I am still working to connect people to a meaningful experience.”

As a young person on the verge of moving on to the working world I thought It would be necessary to ask if he had any advice? “I would gable up as many different experiences you can and that will help you throughout your life to determine what you’re going to do that’s most meaningful to you. I think the worst thing you could do is just settle on something because it’s what someone else wants you to do, or what you feel you’re being pressured to do. You have to be fulfilled in whatever it is you put your time into.” He ended his thoughts with a quote “life’s a journey not a destination.”

second semester blog #1

Post links to at least two high-quality interviews.
Angelina Jolie revealed
Halle Berry

Post a written reflection in which you describe what makes a great final product when a journalist (or group of writers, editors, etc.) create an interview that is presented in the professional world. We know an interview needs good questions... but what else makes these great? What other elements of writing are used? How does the writer create a final product that is more than a transcript of a conversation? What makes these finished, professional pieces of journalism?
After reading these examples I believe a good interview is when the transcripts show the emotions and the word choice the person actually used because then that allows you to connect with who ever is being interviewed or maybe even change your opinion on who that person is. Not only good questions but choosing the ones that really lets you see who this person is and the highlights of what was being said because if you just have everything it could be really long and boring so choosing which questions to display and also what order you want them to go in.
