Work Accommodations
As a individual with a disability, I require an aide. My aide will assist me in navigation of the work. For example, she will make sure that I am in the right line in Excel and help me with the minute details. My aide would also offer me an eye break multiple times per a 3-hour work shift.
I also require a nurse to give me water and tube feedings.
I am looking for a three hour work shift considering I have accommodations. Some volunteering opportunities that I can do would be writing letters, editing letters, proofreading and data entry. I can also do excel work.
Volunteer Experience
School to Work: Princeton Public Library
I had experience with word, excel and forms. I did data entry of customer comment cards and transferred business cards.
American Red Cross
I monitored the American Red Cross’ social media page. I wrote letters to volunteers wishing them a happy birthday and happy anniversary.
Princeton Recreation Department
I had to write a letter to kids about the COVID 19 pandemic and created a background of the letter that had basketballs, baseballs and volleyballs.
Courses and Tutors Help
English 101
This was my first course I took in Mercer County Community College. I strengthened my reading and writing skills.
Excel Spreadsheet
During this class I learned pivot tables/charts, how to make bar/pie/line charts and scatter plots. Also used many formulas, conditional formatting and a lot of commands. I gained software experience during this class.
Accounting
This class involved categorizing numbers into bins. It was difficult but I gained organizational skills.
Business communications
This was my very first class with open note tests on Cengage. I learned to ask for notes. I treated the notes as “lifelines” pretending I was on Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
Business 101
This class was challenging terms of structure. I used time management skills to move ahead and keep track of assignments. I learned that reading/doing assignments ahead of time works for me.
My favorite class Business Law
This class had a lot of PowerPoint presentations, reading lectures, case studies and open note tests. The case studies were about this guy , Johnny Badseed, committing all sorts of torts and crimes. I had to identify what torts or crimes he violated.
I had various tutors during my time at Mercer County Community College: Kaely scribed for English I, my mother for Excel and Accounting, Sophia for Business Communications, Business 101, Business Law, Business Management and PC Concepts and Applications. Finally, Noelya for Introduction to Internet and Technology, Customer Orientation, Access Database and Microsoft Word.
