Working in Physics department has always been the most interesting part of my day. It reminds about all the small yet powerful wonders that keeps our universe intact  I tutor any student who needs help with understanding basic physics or advanced. The hardest part has always been making students understand that mathematics and physics go hand in hand. Satisfaction for me is about making every student who walks out of the tutoring room with a feeling that they learnt something new but more importantly some interesting. 

I also work as a Lab Assistant helping professor's and students to complete the lab experiments, and fill in by handling the labs by myself if the professor happens to be busy with other duties. 

The management have been of excellent help for an employee who has lived a world apart and that helped me learn a lot about people and their culture in this place, thus giving me sense of being home where love, care and affection are abundant around me.

The department also let me take part in their other projects to broaden my knowledge. One such project we are currently working on is building a to scale Sinen2-OD-KIT0018 satellite model originally built by Japanese as a part of NASA's ongoing project.

Am always on time to do my job where I have great latitude to take decisions affecting my work. But my supervisor, does not reward hard work. She tells me that she cannot promote me without any reason being given for that even though I scored highly on the annual performance ratings.The toughest part of the work was getting approval from another department over which I had no control for my research to proceed. For that I had to leave the organization because I was frustrated by their carelessness which led to my approval not being given for over three months and I was not told anything about it. when they discovered the error it was: Oh, we are sorry it took so long." The most enjoyable part is the discovery at the end of each research and acceptance of my article for publication. My co-workers were great. I did not ;learn much as I ;had no more mature colleagues to learn from as I was the only professional in my department apart from my supervisor who was even not as qualified as my humble self.

1. typical day- simulation lecture one hour then the supervisor comes to help-about 30 students divided into groups. Afternoon-schedule till about clinical placement record ; Clinical placement about 12 groups or more. Usually starts mid July-end of August for Fall Semester  and from end of November - second week of January for Spring Semester. My contract starts in September 1st
\and ends in May 31st. I worked without pay during Summer Break and Christmas holidays  for the 3 years  of my employment. When the students are in Clinical, I do Lab Skills and Simulation with students. I adjusted well because I was left alone doing my job. I  like the job and I was able to manage my work without interference  from my supervisor.

While I was at Prairie View A&M university I felt as thankful as I could be that someone would give me an opportunity to showcase my skillset on the basketball court. They believed in me from day one. I was head of the team and I got to instruct my teammates as if I was a part of the coaching staff. I really loved it there. We would have to wake up at 6am for practices which was perfect for me because I am an early riser and a hard worker. My teammates looked up to me and respected me because I came from another prestigious university called the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. There was no hard part about the job because I love to play basketball and to be around basketball. The only thing I can say is there was some adversity in some of the games we played. Other than that I loved being there and my time spent there was very well.

As a programmer analyst at Prairie View A&M, I am mainly responsible for retrieving and analyzing data from the university database using SQL.  Since I've been at Prairie View University, I learned how to work better as a team especially when working with confidential information and creating vital reports.  The department I work in, Institutional Research,  managers allows the workers to be creative and allows me to attempt to improve on processing the data.  The hardest part about is the job I would say is trying to find where data are being stored in the database.  We have a very unique naming scheme for our tables in our database and it could be time consuming finding the correct and clean data for our reports.  The most enjoyable part of the job I would say is working along with my co-workers. 

I was an intern, so typical day consisted of checking in with internship professor, mostly wanted me to run errands of mail and documents to other departments, before lunchtime. Then after lunch alot of health care research and confirming facts via internet. I learned mostly to be one step ahead of what was being asked of me. The actually paid workers were sort of lazy. They were standoffish towards interns, never attempted to really work hard even if the professors needed to meet datelines. hardest part, all the different personalities in a small space( all six interns shared a tiny office with 3 computers 2 which hardly worked) the most enjoyable part was being able to go behind the scenes of the departments, which the students dont see on a daily basis.

Providing information to prospective students about courses of study, scholarships, and admissions requirements.

Providing customer service for faculty and staff,  taught me how to relate to people from diverse ethnicity and with different personality. The management team is always planning and each member of staff is included in the execution of the different process. My co-workers are friendly, cooperative and we work as a team to accomplish different tasks. The most difficult part of the job is getting the work done in the limited time available as a student worker while the most fulfilling part of the job is meeting the needs of the faculty and staff.

Working with this Company has helped me to understand the importance of healthy eating, that is what we all will do until the day we die.   Texas A&M University gave me the opportunity to teach people how to eat, cook and choose healthy meals and provide valuable information on food safety. Reaching out to  adults and youth and demonstrate how to prepare a healthy plate and learn about the nutrient content of produce and many other non-meat proteins is  powerful, because foods are full of natural nutrients that help us use them as healing foods. Healthy eating prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension and heart disease and that is knowledge that we all should learn from as young as one day old.
