These past few days I have been living in beautiful Costa Rica alongside my family. It has been an experience. We explored the lush rainforest, ate delicious traditional food, and observed beautiful flora and fauna. It has been an awe inspiring trip so far, but I have a lot to look forward to. Tomorrow I begin my adventure, with no family to guide me and very little direction. I am meeting with my host family, who will house me during the 2 week volunteer period. Over the course of said to weeks I am going to aid in constructing houses and schools. I am extremely excited, but also very nervous. I do not know what to expect going into this, but I know it will be life changing. Hasta Luego.

Business: Life's Rad Clothing Contact: Nancy Carrillo [email protected] First Period: T. Nikolova A typical day of work is very dependent on your role in the company. The owner runs most of the company, and facilitates it entirely. There is a social media team that works on website building and social media pages, but the owner facilitates all of that. I took on graphic design jobs, this included creating and ordering business cards, posters, and fliers. A typical day in the graphic design role is job assignments in the morning and completion by the end of the day, unless otherwise expressed. General work policies are structured around trust. You are expected to complete your job and fulfill your role. The boss is extremely forgiving, but still expects work to be done. She expressed to me that a job should be completed no matter the parameters. There is no dress code as most of the business is run digitally and with people working from home. When meeting with potential buyers, the employees are expected to where the company merchandise. Life's Rad Clothing is an extremely modern business with a foundation of trust. I expect day to day work to include receiving jobs from the owner, completing said jobs, asking her for feedback, editing the product until it is approved, and finally sending it in. Skills I utilized in this profession included affinity with Photoshop and digital art software, which are not entirely applicable to school. A general High Tech High skill I utilized was being able to communicate constructively and create a product with input other than my own. |
