What I did Today

Today we did more elective work. Although I did Salesforce CRM Trailhead Monday and Tuesday, I was unable to complete any other segments of the Prompt Builder Superbadge I had started. I completed most of the steps, but the Superbadge is set up to be like an assessment (with all the steps not necessarily described fully step-by-step).

Later, I had the chance to check-in with Carrie and Devin about progress with the course. I feel like there is always room for me to improve on my job readiness skills but I am happy with my progress with the Computer Skills portion of the coursework.

I may have gotten a late start on working on the elective, the Art Museum Google Sheets project. It seems like a straightforward way to gather information about local art exhibits while using Google Sheets spreadsheet software. I hope I have enough time tomorrow to fill out all the columns and make the sheet look nice and professional.

What Today Held 07.15.2026

Typing did not go very well for me today. I may have to rest my arms lower and readjust my seating. I chose to go first in my check-in, as I did not want to worry myself too much with overthinking. The check-in was wonderful and greatly appreciated. Tips and tricks really continue to flow forward and progress my re-learning. I enjoy the genuine enthusiasm and support from this community! Working on electives has been fun for me, though I need to learn to focus on aesthetics last, not first. Information first, aesthetics to follow. Additionally, our challenge to hold Zoom meetings together towards the end of class became a fun, solid, wonderful, and prideful experience. The final meeting I made it back to was a fun journey; we all handled and supported the meeting with teamwork and communication. An extra positive end to class this evening! Thank you all!

What I learned today

Participated in the check-in, listened to insights from Carrie and Devin, learned ways I can improve, contributed job goal perspectives and a request for some insight into professional compliments; worked on my portfolio, worked with Marc on SlidesCarnival, and reviewed how to add and identify the type of gif subject I want on the web, learned from Mike how to add a Google Chrome Zoom extension, then how to set up a Zoom meeting and pasting a list of emails into guests; then attending classmates’ Zoom meetings, sequentially.

What I did today?

Today was a full day of working on our Core Training Portfolio, our monthly check-in, and creating Zoom meetings. I have completed my Core Training Portfolio. Hooray! I found it difficult to stay focused on what was on the agenda besides our portfolios. I was determined to complete it before the end of the class today. That way, tomorrow I can put the finishing touches on it if need be.

Throughout class, we all had our monthly check-in. I had a pretty good evaluation and feel about it. It always feels like I’ve stepped away from class to go to the principal’s office. This is my last monthly check-in before graduation. Time has gone by so fast.

Lastly, we all worked on creating Zoom meetings. Mike was able to give all of the graduates a chance to create. I didn’tthink that I was able to get mine because I was working so hard on my portfolio.

What did today, 7/15

Started the day by clocking into HomeBase. Then we jumped into this week’s lab. Also met with Carrie for our monthly check-in. Then did the “What I did today” post before clocking out of HomeBase for the day.
