Twitter experience

My experience with twitter has been a positive one. Its actually really fun, and its nice to see what everyone is up to. Its also easy to read since there all just little sentences. Also helps to keep up on whats going on around the world so thats nice. It is also really nice to just check up on what your friends are doing so that you can keep in touch easier with each other. You can also stay connected and see what videos people think are the funnest. Also see whats new with people. Heres the link to my twitter: http://twitter.com/Lund_Berg

My Cultural Event

The cultural event I went to was about helping the people in South Africa by fixing their wells and and building them new schools. Twice a year he would take a group of people to help him out and they were usually their for a week. I found it interesting that he would do this, because thats really nice of him to go out of his way to help out his fellow man. I found it very special for him to do this twice a year and to have others contribute towards the effort.

Best

           The moment in my life that I was truly the best is when i was a Crew Trainer for McDonald's back in Fort Dodge, Iowa. I was seventeen years old with all of the answers. I was the best at what I did and everyone respected me for it.

           I had just been promoted to Crew Trainer after being there for only a year. Right away I began working on my leadership skills and being a team player. My job was to train all the new and current crew members so that they could perform there job correctly and by the books. So after training them I would give them a test so that they could prove to me that they learned how to do the job by McDonald's standards or not. If they passed it would be filed and the goal is to have all the crew members complete them, and there are approximately 50 of them.

         I myself had all 50 completed. It took me around three months to complete all of them. Usually once a month the other Crew Trainer and I would get together and talk about the good things that have been going on and any bad things that we have noticed. There is a particular manager that is in charge of the Crew Trainers and we would let him know what we talked about and what was going on and how we can fix it for the better.

      So why I was the best is because I could remember all of the information and I had great leadership and decision making skills.If anybody had a question they could ask me and I would be able to tell them the answer like its nothing. Unlike most of my coworkers I was easy to get along with, had a great relationship with my managers. 

      My Crew Trainer experience has to when I was at my best because I really was. I was trained so that I could do anything at the store. I was fast and making and wrapping sandwiches. I was a stud on the grills and fry products. Thats why I consider this moment in my life for when I was the best.
