WE#2 - Attendance

Attendance is showing up to the correct place on time. Attendance is important for many reasons. One reason is because in the work field, your pay check depends on it. It is also important because if you do not show up then you could be missing out on important information. Whenever you can not attend something that you are required to be at, then it is extremely important for you to notify your supervisor. One think that I struggle with is being on time. I lose track of time very easy, so I always show up right on time. Although I always show up, I always feel unprepared because I missed getting my things together for the day and I also feel as if I missed out on important information that I could have gathered had I got there a little bit earlier. I also risk being late because you never know when a wreck could happen and traffic is backed up, or even if you simply forgot to get gas and run out. It is always important to be on time, prepared, and at the correct place.

Post #1 Introduction

My name is Lacy and I am a student at Bainbridge State College. I am majoring in Medical Administrative Technology. My goal is to graduate after the completion of one more semester. After graduation I hope to get a job in Thomasville, GA or Valdosta, Ga as a medical coder while I return to school for my Bachelors degree in Business Management. My hopes are to one day hold an administrative position for a hospital in any field dealing with the business side of health care. I am currently working as a receptionist at Albany Pediatrics. Some of my favorite things to do are shop, cook, and spend time with my family. I am not married, however, after graduation I plan to marry my boyfriend of four years. I have a 2 year old nephew who is my entire world. Every second of my spare time, which is very little, is spent with him.

WE #1 - Character

Character is one of the biggest things that you can bring to a work place. Your character is what represents you. Character shows your willingness to work, your trustworthiness, your reliability, and your initiative. Your character states who you are as a person. If you are trustworthy and dependable, then you are not only setting a good example but also proving to your supervisor that you are a good worker and that you take pride in your life and what you do.
