Ideal Group Interns

Homecoming                 It’s my senior year and you can bet that I am going to Homecoming tonight. It’s our time, as the 2016 class, to blow the party through the roof! Today’s game plan is to get out of work, go home and change, arrive at homecoming around 7:30 pm, have fun with friends until 10, and then go somewhere to eat. I’m excited to spend one of my final dances as a senior with my close friends, and have a blast doing it.                 People of other cultures might not know about homecoming, since it is more of an American thing. Basically, one of the school’s sports teams has a game, and then has a dance involving the whole student population to celebrate the efforts put into that game. Usually it an American football game, but since we don’t have a football team, it was our Lady Wolves Volleyball team that was vict...

           The whole reason I want to go into my main field of study is that I just feel incredibly happy to be playing video games, helping people, and fixing/making things. Ever since I was a kid I felt lonely and had horrible depression and anxiety but video games have made those emotions go away so that is why I want to become a video game designer. I have loved helping people all my life because I know that it is better to help other before I help myself and so I want to become a nurse. Whenever I fix something or make something into reality, it makes me feel alive and accomplished and because of this I have because interested in becoming a software designer/engineer, or mechanical engineer. I really would love to put my creative mind to use and my passion for helping people into play when I get older so that I can hopefully make someone feel happy.             Today...

   Today was a pretty good day. After I got off the bus, I went to Ideal Surplus. I went to Gary's office and he gave me my project and a new task. He gave me a list of items, he wanted me to change the category of the item that were highlighted. After I finished the task, I continued to work on my project. I just had to do 4 pages to finish  the packet. I went to Gary for some more work and he gave me a list of items to look at. I had to find the prices of the items and put them on an excel sheet. I did a few before going to lunch.    During lunch, a man came to drop off a present for Frank, Sylvia asked me to give him a tour about our Detroit Cristo Rey Wall. While I was giving him a tour, Frank called us into his office. They talked about Ideal Group, Hudson Motor Car Company, American Motors, Canoe Club, Cristo Rey, and about a man named Shahid Khan. The meeting was pretty interesting, after the meeting, I had lunch and went back to Surplus. I continued to ...

Christian Perales October 27, 2015 Would I Consider Double Majoring? If So What Would They Be?      I would consider double majoring because it would be a good way to get a head start on my future. The two subject I'd major in would be Architectural design and Business. This is because the  career I would like to pursue would be architecture, ever since I was a child I have been interested in building things and the materials that go into building them. There are so many amazing buildings around the world, and each has a very complex design. The architecture field has good money in  it as well. The secondary career I will have would be business.  This is because business has many opportunities for partnerships with other businesses and a depending on how you use your knowledge it can bring in a lot of money. Having a background in business would help my ideal carrier choice in architecture as well. ...

  Today was an average day as usual. When I got off the bus, I went straight to Ideal Surplus. I went to Gary's office but he wasn't there, but I knew where he left my task. I continued to work on the project, I had to add the picture id to items on MAS. After I finished my sheet, I took it to Gary. Gary printed another list of papers for me to do. I did about 8 pages of items before lunch. When I went walking back to the main building, I stopped to  say hi to Loren and he introduced me to some people.   While I was at Ideal Group, I said hi to Sylvia and Amanda. After lunch, I went back to Surplus. I continued to work on my project. I did about 7 pages when I got back. I think the total amount of pages I did today was about 18, the most I've ever done. Around 3 PM, I started to write my blog. My day went by pretty fast, but I was able to get a lot done.   What is my main career? I would like to be a Petroleum Engineer, but if that doesn't work out, I'll like...

            The main career that I wish to have in the future is a video game designer but if that doesn’t work out for me then I would most likely get a job in something similar. My second choice would be a software designer, nurse, or computer scientist because I love the feeling of accomplishment I have when I have worked vigorously towards one goal and finally complete it. That feeling makes me feel like I will always be a great if I work hard towards something. Also as a game designer I wish to make people happy in the same way games have made me happy. As a software designer, nurse, or computer scientist I could accomplish the same but through a different way.              Today I had a very casual and easy going day. In the morning there was not anything on my desk so I went to go see if I could do any scan so I could be productive in any way possible. I eagerly did scan until about lunc...

Jacqueline Perez October 23, 2015 Impact with 1,000 dollars If I was given the opportunity to provide someone with $1,000 dollars and be able to make an impact in the world or community it would be Linda Rhodes Sylvia Gucken or my mother. All three women have impacted the Southwest Detroit area one way or another. I feel like they would all do different things with the money but it all goes back to the community or the world. Linda Rhodes, is a woman who loves kids and does amazing events hosted for children. I see that if she was to receive the $1,000 she would give back to the community by making a center for kids. Linda might also start investing projects that would help other communities do the same thing she’s doing here in Southwest Detroit. Sylvia Gucken has invested a lot of time, effort, and dedication in bringing back the pride of Southwest Detroit. She has given the guidance to organizations, schools and companies help the community. I know that if she was gi...
