After carefully reading Peter Elbow's writing without teachers chapter 2, I have discovered that my writing process can be described as start writing and keep writing.
When I first start to write a paper or anything else, I first do not know how to start it. There are many ideas in my head of how I want to word it and what I want to say but I can't seem to put it down on paper. I question whether what I'm writing is correct, and whether it has something to do with the topic that I am supposed to be writing about.
But as soon as I start to write something down,sentences keep flowing and I don't stop. My mind is made up and when I think I know what I'm talking about I just type it all down so I don't forget about any information.
What this writing style also said was even if when the person doesn't "make sense" when they first start writing, they write so much that it begins to make sense. This is very familiar to me also. Although this doesn't happen to me all the time, there have been cases, especially in classes i'm not too interested in where I will start a paper and the topic doesn't make any sense to me. So I will research that topic and find information on it. I then start writing the paper with that information and although it doesn't make complete sense to me or it's not completely relevant to the paper, eventually things start making sense to me and I begin to understand everything. It is then that I can complete the paper and everything makes sense. Also, once I understand what I'm writing about and things start making sense, I usually go back to the beginning of the paper and correct errors or sentences that need to be fixed.


It's very interesting knowing that types of writing actually exist and too find out which one I have!!

I chose LA Fitness in Lake Grover New York. The job is for the club operations manager; the club operations manager is to ensure members receive exceptional service from a happy and friendly staff, the facility is clean, and all membership issues are resolved. They update past due accounts, manage payroll and the supplies budget. This is a full time position so around 40-45 hours each week and they require you to have at least 3 years of management experience and a 4 year degree is necessary. It would also help if the club operations manager has an interest in health and fitness, which makes sense since this is a position at a gym. Personally, I have worked for La fitness before and it is a very clean and organized club and they treat their staff well, however since I worked at the one in East Brunswick, NJ and this is in New York I'm not sure how they treat their staff. This seems like a good job though and well paying, based off of commission for every sale that is made from me...

The assignments that I feel I was most challenged by and has helped me learn more was this last assignment, our group having to write a proposal, than a report and than finally the oral presentation. This assignment brought everything together that we learned all semester and it was turned into three different assignments but for the one big project. It was cool making up a business and then having to research Coca-Cola and tying them both together. We also had to research different nonprofit organizations so they could help out Coca-Cola, and learning about them and applying it to our presentation was interesting too.

5 specific features a company or employer would need to have to catch my interest: A company/employer who never stops teaching their employees Ability to grow within the company A company/employer who genuinely care about their employees and doesn't just think of them as "a worker" A company that encourages their employers to do what makes them happy, for them to go after what they want A company with good credibility, their reputation could make or break them so I would not want to work for someone who has a poor reputation  What I would want to gain from my work experience: given that my main focus in the long run is to own/operate a gym: Learn how a business operates  I want to gain knowledge on what other managers/owners do to make their company so successful How a business runs interests me so much so anything that I could get from that would interest me Computer skills, different software that other managers/owners use to help run their business L...
