Job Shadow Narrative
I went to go job shadow Forrest Nickerson because Ilike the things my Forrest Nickerson does and he teaches me what he does. Forrest Nickerson has a ranch that he lives on and he works on it everyday. He does a lot of things like drives the tractor, cuts trees down and cuts them up to pieces so that people can buy them, he also goes to peoples houses to dig them trenches for a sewer line and puts the pipe in the ground.
Someone had called Forrest Nickerson to go to put in a sewer line for them. So Forrest Nickerson took me with him to go watch how he does it. Throughout the day I watched Forrest Nickerson dig the whole. It took him more than 2 days to dig the hole because the whole needs to be big. So i went both days to watch how he did the whole thing. The hole was pretty deep but I forgot how big it was. After my grandpa was all done digging the hole, we had to call for a truck load of rock so that we can feel the whole in. It took like 3 to 4 hours because the guy that was bringing the rock, had to go long ways to get it and bring it to us and then go back for another load. So it was a pretty long day. We started at 8am and didn't get done until 5pm, including both days.
I learned a lot of things that day. Forrest Nickerson was showing me how to work his tractor and all the things it can do. So, he was showing me how to dig the hole and i was watching him the whole time so i can learn. I kind of liked it because i feel like i can do it but i'm going to need more practice and experience. What i didn’t really like was that it took forever and i was tired but once you start the job, you have to get it done or else you could get fired. I did like the job though because it can give me ideas if i need a job when i'm done with high school.
I think i am still interested in this job because i feel like i know what to do but i still need practice and still need to see my grandpa dig other holes. I feel like i'm ready to work and drive the tractor and dig holes and everything. I have confidence in myself that i can do it and do it as a job. If there's other better jobs out there that i can get and make more money , then i'll take it. Like Forrest Nickerson also taught me how to chainsaw trees and i honestly love doing that and i could make it a living. I do like the things Forrest Nickerson does and teaches me, it will help me in my life as it goes on.
I like using my hands and I like using machines a lot. I’m always at my house working and using my hands and getting dirty. I think Forrest Nickerson's jobs are good and i will be able to get the hang of it and get more experience. I could be doing the stuff my Forrest Nickerson does until i can get a actual job when i get my own house and car. I could also be doing it while i'm in school and i could do it on the weekends.
