A Great Weekend! by Richard Zarate

                Today was an average day at Surplus. I changed into my work clothes and went to Surplus. I said hi to Jackie and she gave me an update on receiving orders. I got to work right away. Later during the day, Keith came and started to work with us. I did about a couple of items before lunch. After lunch, I continued to work on receiving. I also helped Jackie move some parts to different locations. My day was great; I was able to get a good amount of work done.

            Tomorrow is the Gems of Detroit event, hosted by Detroit Cristo Rey. Mr. Khoury is taking 40 student ambassadors and I’m one of them. Gems of Detroit is an excellent event to express Cristo Rey and the Southwest area to people who are unfamiliar with the area. I plan on spreading the message of Cristo Rey and Robotics throughout the event tomorrow. I plan on talking to as many people as I can and I’ll try my best not to clump with my friends. The next is our mentor appreciation day at the Michigan Science Center. Unfortunately, I’ll be arriving a little bit late because I’ll be participating in the Motor City Makeover. I expect a great turn out tomorrow and it’ll be nice to see our great mentors again!
