This week was my second week so things are going much more smoothly. The first week i was a little dazed and confused but now i am starting to get the hang of things and am excited to see how i do in this position. The first week i was sitting at their co-op desk which was a smaller desk with a computer some supplies. Just this past Friday one of their personal property tax collectors left so i now have his desk with much more space and a phone (to answer calls from tax payers) for the time being. I started learning new things the second week and i am enthusiastic for the new tasks they will have for me next week.
I think many people could take a lesson from this video. Audri was clearly a very enthusiastic, go-getter type of person, I admire his creativity and his dedication to this experiment, He did not give up and after a few failures he succeeded, that is how things work. Even if you do not succeed you should try again and again until you do. The feeling of success is very rewarding and worth the wait, for example the first week i was very scared to mess up one of the parcel numbers on the return mail. If i were to mess up a number it could be harmful to someone else due to there being false information. By week two i was doing them quickly and efficiently. Just goes to show that if you keep working at something you will succeed in the end.

My hope for this class is to get more experience in a field that I am interested in for a future career. I am a co-op at the macomb county treasurer's office and i hope to learn more about financial responsibility and how to handle others finances. So far i have been working with some of their online data bases mainly learning how to use their systems before actually putting in real information. I am mostly excited to work with the public and try to help as much as possible in the areas they assign me to work in, I'd have to say i am most nervous about possibly messing something up, there is so much important information that i am dealing with and one wrong number or word in their systems could potentially be a disaster. I will just have to take my time until i get the hang of things and record accurate information. My goal for this job would be to become a valuable worker for this job and possibly continue working this position throughout the summer. So far i have worked three days and I really love this opportunity. Lately i have been worrying about the career i want to pursue and this gives me a chance to get some experience and figure out if this is the right field for me to go into. Everyone at the office is very friendly and welcoming and i enjoy helping out wherever i can. They let me know that right now is a very stressful time for the treasurer's office because Marst 31st they start foreclosing properties in which the 2013 taxes have not been paid on. That explains why so many people have been in and out of the office. Overall I know this is a great opportunity for me and I am thankful i was able to take on this position,
