Writing tools that I use regularly. First, I use Google to look up facts, research topics, and find definitions. It’s an excellent resource for getting quick information. Next, I turn to YouTube when I need video explanations about a subject. Watching someone explain a concept helps me understand it better. When it comes to citing sources or following MLA guidelines, I use Purdue OWL. It provides clear instructions on how to reference my work correctly. If my assignment requires scholarly sources, I use the MCC Online Database. The database is full of trusted information and can be used for academic writing. To write everything down, I often use Google Docs and Microsoft Word. These programs help draft my essays and papers. Additionally, I use Canva to design documents and create presentations that need a nice design or layout. Lastly, when I feel stuck or have trouble starting, I use the writing process to help break down my writing project. It helps guides me and encourages me to develop my ideas. Overall, these tools play a big role in my writing and help me finish tough assignments.
I am currently in an apprenticeship with Empire Caterpillar, training to become a technician. As an apprentice, I don't do any public speaking, but I know I need to get good at public speaking in the future if I want to move up in the company. At Empire CAT, they have daily meetings where the shop lead announces what everyone is going to do throughout the day and discusses any concerns for the day. Additionally, we have weekly safety meetings, where the lead also discusses the safety topics for the week. So, if I ever want to become a lead for a shop, I need to practice public speaking or presentations. I do have to take a communication or public speaking class as it is a part of my pathway to graduate with an associate's degree in Caterpillar Technician Training.
