2009 WLE Post #3

On my first day of my WLE I did 5 hours and 10 minutes. I started at 12:20 and finished at 5:30. On the first day I didn't do very much. I had my contract filled out, and ran some errands with the Pastor for a retreat that they will have on Friday and Saturday for couples. We also went out to eat and I was shown an example of a website that the Pastor likes and would like to have hers look similar to. After that she asked me to help her bring some boxes down from a cabinet and sort out what was in it. My first impression is that it's going to be pretty fun working there. I also like that I'm going to be doing a website as my project because I don't have very much experience with it and I like that I was given the possibility to work from school or my house in order to do certain tasks because their computers do not have programs to make a website. I think that my experience there will be very good because I will be allowed to do many things. I think that I will also do some type of video recording that the Pastor wants to make for the Church.

The project that I'm planning to have by the end of the WLE is a website for the Church. What I plan to gain from this experience is increase my abilities of time management, organizational skills, more patience because I know that I will get frustrated in doing websites, and I want to increase my skills in making websites because my knowledge in making them are very little.

The way I will include those skills are that I'm only going to have a certain amount of time to make the website and I will have to be very organized and have all the materials better before starting. I will also have to manage my time because I won't be able to put it off and do it in the last minute because it will look very poor. I will also have to be patient because I have very little experience with Dream Weaver and no experience with Iweb.

My WLE is on the corner of 23 & Capp Street. My mentor is named Carmen Rosales, she is a Pastor. I'm not very sure of what my tasks will be yet, but I think that I will be doing organizational work. As a project I will challenge myself to make a website for the congregation.

The way that I got my internship was because my mom started to go to that church not so long ago and I have accompanied her a few times. Then I asked my mom to ask if the Pastor could use my help on anything and I talked to her personally and she said that I could go help her out. Since she has been wanting to make a website I told her that I could make that as my project for the WLE.
