Benefits

Benefits are services or days off that your job pays for. Sick leave is when you have to take time from work because of illness. A personal day is when you take the day off for a personal reason. A paid holiday is a day when people don't normally go to work but still get paid. Examples of paid holidays would be Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Being Independent

To be independent means to be able to do things without help or assistance. Project SEARCH has helped me to become independent by showing me how to do work on my own.

Resume

A resume is a list of your past work skills and experiences. Today, we updated our resumes. I have had 3 internships at NIH, all at the same place, the Center for Information Technology. Project SEARCH has 3 rotations. After I finish Project SEARCH, I will have a resume with new skills and experiences. I feel very good about these new skills and experiences.

Problem Solving

When have you experienced a problem?
I try to call a friend on their home phone or cell phone, but I don't get an answer.

How did you solve this problem?
One solution is call them on their home phone if their cell phone doesn't work, and vice versa, or email them. I think the best solution would be to try emailing them.

What are the steps to solving a problem?
The steps to solving a problem are: 1). What is the problem? 2). What are the solutions? 3). What is the best solution?
