Job Fair

I attended the Job Fair at CSUSM on Thursday October 4^th. As soon as I walked up to the first booth, I was immediately acknowledged and engaged in what their booth had to offer. I’ve been to other Job Fairs, but not as active and lively as it was on Thursday. I continued to talk with a handful of companies. Luckily, I brought a lot of copies of my resume because the first booth I approached actually asked for my resume. The booth was the ADS organization, which represents the Advanced Diabetes Supply. I have always wanted to be involved in helping people and I immediately walked to this booth when I got on campus. It was perfect because the spokeswoman for her booth was interested in offering me a summer internship!

The next booth I went towards was the Ross Careers for their multiple stores. The woman speaking for Ross also gave me a lot of information for applying for the holiday season. Soon after that I went to the Target booth and was offered the same opportunity for working soon. My roommate and I then went to the Army Reserve booth; mainly to seek information about their loans and scholarships. The soldier representing the booth was very helpful and really funny! It was easy to start up a conversation.

The last two booths I visited were Teri- Campus of Life and Voter Registration. Teri is an incorporation that specifies in helping mentally retarded children. After TERI, I visited the Voter Registration booth to change my resident statuses for the different counties because I want to vote in the San Diego District.

Just as I was about to leave (literally walking away from the tents), two people walk up to me and introduce themselves as the Abercrombie and Fitch and Hollister employers and asked me to be the welcoming model in front of their store! I have an interview on this Friday, October 12^th. So, my experience at the Job Fair was great!

2nd Annual Polynesian Festival

The Second Annual Polynesian Festival was so much fun! There were so many booths to visit while the Polynesian Dancers performed. I went with my roommates and other friends from our GEL class. Some of us took pictures at the Free Photo Booth set up. There was also free food, that I did not get, because the line was really long.

            The Dancing part of this festival was the most powerful because dancing is a way Polynesians express their culture and religious beliefs of their ancestry. Each chant and certain step you make to create a sound has a different meaning that can be depicted through the dancing. After watching this dancing and chanting part, I had to go to a class soon after the festival.

Intro

Hey guys! My name is Makaela Logan- I'm a freshmen at CSU San Marcos! Here's a little about myself, I had goals of becoming a student athlete for softball this freshmen year at CSUSM, but some things didn't turn out the way I planned. I've trained competitively for travel softball since I was in seventh grade and played "rec" ball since I was six years old. I am also a part time model because of the change into college life this semester. I have goals of becoming a Roxy Model in the near future. I love offroading, dirtbiking, wake boarding, and staying athletic. Here's my blog!
