‘Poster Smoster’
Working on my poster was a task. I thought I could easily knock out my poster, but that wasn’t the case…………………. Irritations: 1) Every time I tried to bring the text box behind the text, it did not work. 2) Some of my pictures were behind the text boxes, instead of on top of the text boxes. …
Pretty Stickers
Who doesn’t like smiley face stickers? My supervisor gave Sherrion, an intern, and I the task of plotting all the medical clinics/centers, churches, schools, cleaners, Fresh Corner Cafe stores, and banks in Detroit. Noam, my supervisor pulled out pretty colorful smiley face stickers. My face lit up like a kid. Sticker colors: 1) Blue – …
Poster Problems
So… it turns out that I am technologically impaired when it comes to using adobe photo… well adobe anything -_- I just plain do not understand it and I honestly do not want to watch a 30 to an hour long video on how to use it. So! I decided to contact a handy dandy …

Final Days at FOP
Today was a great way to end my last official day at Friends of Parkside. It was a day filled with 30+ children from the community. Today was field trip day for those who had returned permission slips, but due to the weather, it was too cold to go to the water park. So in …
Final presentation, finally
The past few weeks have definitely been the most chaotic. I finished my report a bit early, and the past three Wednesdays, the day when we normally have staff meetings, I’d been expecting to present my findings to the GHOPE staff. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out that way. Two weeks ago, the director had jury …
