- I have learned so many new things over this past quarter while working with my team at TT’s Tilted Tavern. We have learned how to serve, take orders, hand out food and drink, and how to cash them out. There is more than just learning how to serve we also learned a lot about there family and there business. We got to work a lot with the chefs to and teach us a lot of things that I did not know. We would use scales to measure things and learn how to make there ranch. We learned everything in that kitchen and how to do everything the right way. I would say I have grown a lot because of this opportunity and I grew even more because pf the team i got to do it with.
- The most enjoyable part of this opportunity and getting to working with Tara and the rest of her family and employees. I loved being able to serve her customers and getting to interact with them was very very enjoyable to me. It was really different from where I work and what I do on a normal day. Working with them has made me think changing jobs and becoming a waitress and a restaurant. I loved the interaction with people and I loved how nice and friendly everyone was.
- The most difficult part in working in TT’s restaurant was working in the back. While a few of us would switch off and work in the back and in the front. I realized the most difficult part is working in the kitchen. They have everything very organized and easy to access. I would always get very nervous because I didn’t wanna mess up anything or get in there way. When we would get busy they would move around so fast and I would just be kinda lost not knowing what to do because I don’t actually work there. That was the most difficult part for me because I didn’t want to cook something wrong or make them angry.
- This will help me out in my future a lot when the time comes to getting a new job and figuring out what I want to go to college for. Being able to have this kind of work skills can help me figure out what i want to do after high school and what I could do with this in college. I will use this to get a new job and transfer my skills to a new serving job that pays. I could also use a lot of the information to create my own restaurant. I could go to college and get my degree and open up a restaurant of my own.
- While taking this class and getting to do new things that I have never done before and learning so many new things. I was amazed at the opportunity that I have gotten to take this class and work and help out our local restaurants. I have seen my self grow as a person that has bettered myself. I have seen myself grown in communication and grow as a cook. I am very happy that I was given the opportunity to do this and I am very happy with everything I have done.

Sample Post – Creative Repurposing
In my 8th grade FACS class, I had the opportunity to help make the world a better place by upcycling items that might have ended up in our landfills. Instead, I was able to upcycle pallet boards into a beautiful new table. My team and I spent a lot of time determining what color we would have the table. My dad, helped us put it together. We had some challenges with the staining and had to redo a section because it go too tacky. We needed a smooth finish. We also wanted to stage the table so that it would look nice and we would market it to potential buyers.
Below is a video of our journey. Throughout this process, we hit a number of the POG C’s. We had to collaborate together to build, stain, and stage a table that was going to be sold to potential buyers. We used communication skills to share and listen to each other’s ideas and determine our final product. We also had to use communication skills to showcase our piece to an audience. We enjoyed the opportunity to be creative and have a choice in what we would produce and our ideas would be seen and potentially bought by people in the real world. We had challenges along the way and had to think critically on how to resolve those challenges. And finally, I believe the artifact below showcases an element of citizenship – as we are trying to repurpose items and keep them out of our landfill.
