Please list up to five personal/professional goals that you’d like to achieve during your time with CCC.
Improve my portfolio (generate work to add to my portfolio).
Keep my grades up.
Learn about the business side of graphic design.
Get more involved in the community (I would really like to learn more about some of the organizations that are in the civic center).
Build relationships and network.

How will your strengths help you in achieving your goals?
It seems like the goals are a good summary of some of my strengths and what I want to use them for but I will restate it angain…I love getting to know people and their stories. This may help with networking as well as the getting involved in the community. My artistic and creative skills will help with networking as well as building my portfolio.

Do you anticipate any hindrances? How will you address those?
I am curious to know how working for both WOW and WWBC and how that will play out. I am excited about getting more involved in the art gallery as well as being a liaison between the gallery and the campus. But at the same time WWBC will be a lot of graphics work without the gallery. I am not sure if I will be focusing on both equally or if it will be fairly well split.
I think I will handle it as it comes. I am not sure how big of part I will play in deciding on the exact roll of the position. I plan on getting involved in WOW either way. Both will offer positives.

What support do you need from AmeriCorps staff to achieve your goals?
I guess I would say that one of the things that I would like understanding with is how much time we are given in advance for the mandatory meetings, if they change or if there are some added. School needs to come first. The Monday night time works, but adding events in may need a good amount of warning.

What do you imagine your first few weeks at your service site will look like? First few months?
The first couple weeks should be fairly calm with the exception of figuring out the programs that I am not familiar with. The transition may be a little rough. It is difficult to find files and such. I do think this will get significantly better. This is the perfect time to start because it is a bit of a slow time.
I guess after these couple weeks it will get busier, but I will be more efficient and have a better understanding. Beyond this I am not sure. Overall it seems like there will be intense weeks and some slower weeks.
