First Blog: Goals,Habits,Allies

My current goal is to help in the release of the new Skylanders game at Toys for Bob. Because I am coming in to this internship at a very stressful time I would like to make sure I am useful and helpful in the release of this upcoming title. For my future goal I want to get a computer science degree. By completing my degree I will be able to find work in the field I enjoy.

Currently an effective habit of mine is to respond to communication quickly and appropriately. For the future a habit I need to work on is making sure all work I am assigned is completed in a timely manner.

My Current ally that will help me achieve my goals is Toby Schadt my contact at Toys for Bob. He helped me get the internship position and I will be working with him during my internship to learn how to use the tools at Toys for Bob. For a future ally I will look to meet up with computer science professors. In order to achieve my goal of a computer science degree it will help a lot to have a good relationship with the professor at the school I will want to go.
