Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a holiday where people honor and celebrate everything that they are thankful for. I'm thankful for family and friends mostly, and I'm also thankful for the great experiences I've had in life. Project SEARCH will celebrate Thanksgiving with a formal feast tomorrow. I usually go out of town for Thanksgiving. However, I've been very busy since graduating from The Harbour School five months ago. So, I am probably going to be staying at home with my family for Thanksgiving this year.

Intern Update Meeting

The people attending my Intern Update meeting were my dad, John Burke, Mr. Carter, Ming, Jessie, and Denise Ford. We discussed where I am going to work next; it turns out I'm still going to be working at the Center for Information Technology. Some of my goals are to finish Project SEARCH  and find a well-paying, part-time job. I feel really good about staying at the Center for Information Technology.

PowerPoint Presentations

Sasha Butler gave a very good presentation yesterday. The presentation talked about what Sasha's hobbies are and what she does at her internship. Her internship is at the Office of Human Resources Building in East Jefferson, Rockville, Maryland. Some things that she does there are sort and organize office files and mail. What I liked about Sasha's presentation is that she has an interest in playing the piano.

Halloween

Project SEARCH watched movies, handed out candy, and went to a piano concert. They were once-a-year activities for Halloween day. It was Monday, October 31st, the last day in October, Halloween day. The activities took place at the Clinical Center, Building 10, and in the Project SEARCH classroom. We did these activities just to take a break from our usual everyday agenda. We celebrated Halloween by watching movies, handing out candy, and attending the piano concert.
