Introduction
Hello everyone! My name is Avery Jones. I am currently attending the College of Southern Nevada. In the future I aspire to become a real estate agent. But for now, I am an Assistant Manager at Domino's. Outside of work, I love to do ceramics, draw, go to the gym, and hike.
This is my first year attending college and so far my favorite part about CSN is the teachers! For each of my classes, every teacher is very nice and funny; I could tell that they really enjoy their job! As for IS101, I was daunted by the amount of assignments + the additional assignments from my four other classes + my job. I was unsure I would be able to balance it all at once, Thankfully, the work is not too bad if you plan accordingly.
The skill I decided to choose was 1.3.9 Formatting and Sending Messages. Ever since my youth, I was taught how to properly send professional emails. My teachers taught me how to change the font, size, color, and layout of the text. I learned how to include subjects, proper introduction, properly formatted body paragraphs, and a signature.
I look forward to advancing in this class! This is definitely material I will use in the future.
Glad you found every teacher very nice and funny in your first year at CSN, Avery :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, proper planning definitely helps in balancing one's many obligations, both academically and professionally. Remember to include doing ceramic, drawing, hitting the gym, and hiking too!
With your work ethic demonstrated in the first few weeks of IS101-3005, Spring 2026, I see you evolving beyond an assistant manager into a real estate agent -- and anything else you devote your time and energy to ^_^
Hi Avery, I am honestly amazed that you work as an assistant manager at Domino’s. Customer service is one of the hardest jobs because people can be rude for no reason. I respect that you deal with that and still stay focused on school. Being a manager already takes a lot of time and responsibility. If you are also a full time student taking at least 12 units, that leaves very little free time. Full time classes alone already feel heavy, and adding work on top of that is intense. I sometimes struggle just balancing my classes, so I can imagine how packed your schedule must be. It is impressive that you are managing both at the same time.
ReplyDeleteHello Avery, being a full-time manager and going to school full-time is a huge feat! When I chose to return to school I took on a part-time job to free up time for homework. I have also had a really great experience with my professors at CSN. When educators decide to go above and beyond to make the classroom a fun environment it makes a difference. It seems as though you are very driven to complete your education, I hope it remains easy to continue the balance.
ReplyDeleteHi Avery, I’m also looking forward to giving the real estate path a try. So far, I have done some transaction coordination and I really love it. Maybe one day we could both become realtors and even be partners in the future. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, your topic about formatting and sending professional emails is a really important skill too. Even though it may seem simple, knowing how to write a clear and professional email makes a big difference when communicating with professors or in a work environment.
Hello Avery, we have very similar interests! I can't believe you go to school and work full time! You seem to be a very well planned person. Knowing how to email professionally with the correct signatures and knowing how to format is definitely crucial information to know for the future. Good luck with your semester!
ReplyDeleteHi Avery! It is great to meet you. As an engineering student, I also felt a bit daunted by the workload at first, but I agree that planning accordingly makes it much more manageable. Your experience as an Assistant Manager at Domino's and your goal to become a real estate agent are both roles where professional communication is key. The skills in Formatting and Sending Messages are definitely something you will use every day in those fields. It is awesome that you are also finding time for hobbies like ceramics and hiking while balancing your busy schedule!
ReplyDeleteI also really like your blogger theme! very artistic
Hi Avery! I understand that balancing classes, work, and assignments can be a little overwhelming at first. I’m glad you’ve been able to manage everything because otherwise it would be even more stressful. It’s great that you learned how to write professional emails from a young age this is definitely a skill we need now.
ReplyDeleteHi Avery. I can understand how scary balancing time between four classes and your job as an assistant manager sounds. It is good that you know that planning accordingly will help you with that challenge. Good luck pursuing your goal to become a real estate agent.
ReplyDeleteAvery, the way you have been able to balance both your job as a leader and your classes shows that you have excellent time management skills, as well as the ability to learn how to communicate effectively through digital media (which will be very important for you in your real estate career). Your enrollment in the IS101 course is just one example of your commitment to mastering these skills.
ReplyDeleteA future real estate agent that worked for Domino's? Are you trying to out pizza the hut? Just kidding. That is impressive too that in your youth you were thought how to do emails correctly and professionally. More power to your journey and do you like pineapples in your pizza?
ReplyDeleteHey Desmond! Thank you for your comment! I have never tried pineapple on pizza before! But pineapple is my favorite fruit so I bet I would like it! The craziest combo I have had was chocolate on a cheese pizza...surprisingly not bad at all!
DeleteHi Avery, a real estate agent is very cool! I remember when I was young I loved venturing from open house to open house and to think you can base a career off giving and selling families homes is very motivating knowing you're helping others. I agree the experience you can have for a class can make or break how much that professor truly loves what they do.
ReplyDeleteHi Avery, I want to say that having that position and going to school really conveys your drive, it's also nice to have some things to do to bring peace besides school and work. About your 1.3.9 I would say that I'm glad I know how to send an email, over time I learned the proper etiquette besides just sounding professional and learned the proper things after. Aside from that I hope that academics go your way, also use ratemyprofessor.com too if you haven't just so you keep the good teacher streak going!
ReplyDeleteHi Avery, balancing college, work, and other classes can definitely feel overwhelming at first, but planning ahead really helps. It’s also nice to hear that you’ve had great teachers at CSN so far. Knowing how to write professional emails is a really useful skill since it’s something we’ll use in many jobs. Your hobbies like ceramics, drawing, going to the gym, and hiking also sound like great ways to relax outside of work and school. Good luck with the rest of the semester.
ReplyDeleteHi Avery, it's impressive to be a Assistant Manager at a restaurant and go to school I'm assuming full-time? How often do you have to deal with angry customers? I worked at McDonald's for about 14 months and I would honestly refuse any managerial positions if I was offered because of having to deal with unhinged customers. Good luck with your college journey!
ReplyDeleteHi Thomas, thank you for your comment! Angry customers have decreased as of recently, I'm unsure of why, but thankful! But of course we still get plenty, at least five per week. Sometimes you just have to smile at them while they yell at you, it makes them question their decision to be mean!
DeleteHello Avery, you have some really fun hobbies. I totally agree with you working full time and going to school full time is not easy, planning is absolutely essential in staying on top of everything. Good luck on the rest of your journey!
ReplyDeleteHello Avery, I like your honesty about being daunted or overwhelmed by a lot of things going on in your life such as your job demands and the full-time class load, but what I liked about it the most was you are being a careful and strategic planner! Despite the struggles and the need to juggle your tasks around, you managed to stay disciplined, consistent, and great at managing. That's amazing!
ReplyDeleteHi Avery, a real estate agent is a pretty cool career change from Domino's. Also, I like that you are keeping in shape by going to the gym and hiking, which is good to keep the mind and body focused. Yes, the teachers are quite interesting here in CSN and you learn something new everyday. Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteHello, Avery, I really admire you for having a path to pursue to be a real estate agent. Something that we had in common was the gym. I really like to go to the gym, I really like this because I feel more active, and also I do it for my health. I was taught how to send proper emails during high school, but after Professor Albert Wu showed us how to send proffesional email It improve my skill in sending emails.
ReplyDeleteHello Avery, I know several people who want to pursue Real Estate and it's such an interesting field. It's definitely a trial and error career but I bet that first house sale would make it all worth it!
ReplyDeleteHi Avery! That’s awesome—especially everything you do in your day-to-day life—and it’s great that you want to become a real estate agent. I hope you achieve that goal!
ReplyDeleteHello Avery, ceramics is a cool hobby! I've never met someone who has an interest in it. Best of luck with your real estate career!
ReplyDeleteHi Avery, I liked your post! It’s cool that you already have experience with professional emails that’s definitely a useful skill. Good luck with your goals in real estate, you got this!
ReplyDeleteHi Avery, I enjoyed your post. It is great that you are balancing school, work, and your goal of becoming a real estate agent. I also liked your thoughts on IS101 and how planning helps you manage your workload. The email skills you mentioned will definitely be useful in the future.
ReplyDeleteHey Avery, ya I feel like we are in the same zone, it is hard that balancing work and classes, it’s a real challenge but sounds like you’ve got a good system.
ReplyDeleteHey Avery, I must commend you for taking on a full-time class schedule and also being a manager at Dominos. That is not easy, but the fact that you are able to do it says a lot about who you are as a person. I love your background photo. Its one of my favorite flowers to have around the house. Wishing you the best in your college journey ahead!
ReplyDeleteHi Avery, I think it’s admirable that you are working while attending your first year of college, because balancing everything at the same time can’t be easy. And you have such beautiful hobbies; I feel like they really help with relieving stress. I wish you lots of success on your journey to becoming a real estate agent!
