Job Shadow Report
My first job shadow experience was with Jake Ginn at Ginns Manufacturing. After following Jake around, Jake suggested I try and attend a college with a metal and mechanics class. My father has an auto shop and it was interesting to see the differences between the two shops. Ginn had some tools I had never used before. I learned how to properly use them. I think the most important thing I learned was how to work together to complete something. I chose this shop because it is similar to my dad's shop. I enjoyed doing this shop as my first job shadow.
My second job shadow was at Tim’s Body Shop. It was lot of fun even though it wasn’t a full work day. I shadowed Rob and Ileana. It was about like working at my dad’s shop but with more people. The only thing that I didn’t know how to do was a part of the body work I got to help with. Usually my dad would bend and forge the dents out of the body paneling. We worked on a black truck that was in a collision. It was hit on the rear drivers side almost on the front or the right wheel the wheel. I helped take the rear left panel off so they could replace it. The reason for me choosing Tim’s Body Shop is because I’m kind of use to getting my hands dirty from helping my dad clean and work on vehicles. was the reason why I job shadowed Tim's Body Shop.

Hello, my name is Austin Jones and here are my reasons for becoming a tattoo artist. The first time I saw my mom and dad’s tattoos I was really interested in them. I have always loved drawing and my family has always told me to become a graphic designer or something where I can draw all I want. When I was a little boy, I got to watch my mom get several tattoos done. The guy that did them is an old friend of my moms. When he was just starting on one of the tattoos I started asking him questions and then the funniest thing happened. He started explaining the process and why he had to do a each thing a certain way. After that day I have always wanted to be a tattoo artist.
The education required for becoming a tattoo artist is a lot more simple than a lot of other jobs. If it comes down to it, you can go to a 1 to 2 year college. The other half of becoming a tattoo artist is getting your licence. To get license one has to train under a licensed pro for at least 360 hours and have at least 50 complete tattoos and it will cost $85. A written exam and skills assessment also are typically necessary for licensing.
There are many places that you could find a place to work as a tattoo artist. There are about 28 tattoo shops in Wellington and Wichita alone. I don't think it will be hard to find a good shop to start a job at. The salary for the average tattoo artist is around $32,000 to $52,000. Being a tattoo artist would make me feel like my art is important and means something to other people.

Many people have lots of challenges in their life. Everyone in my class has their own problems. Like my twin brother, he has bell's palsy which is the partial paralyzation of his face. He might be the youngest in the world to get it. With that being said, here is my biggest challenge.
Color blindness has always been a big challenge in my life. My grandmother on my mom’s side of the family was color blind too, she is the one I got it from. I have what is called Red-Green color blindness also called Deuteranopia. It is a color blindness that makes red and green problem colors. I am in the 6% of all men in the world to have this, even though it is the most common of color blindness. I am putting a link at the very end of this essay, I hope you enjoy reading about what I have to say about one of my biggest problems.
I’ve always had this problem and it has been a huge pain in my butt. In grade school my friends would always tease me with color blind jokes, which I didn't mind because if they asked for a specific color I’d always laugh and ask them why they are asking me for a color. Most of the time it took them a minute to realize their mistake, but all jokes aside its a real pain.
One of my main dreams is to see like everyone else. In between grade school and middle school I taught myself how to guess the right color. It was a little tricky at first, After two to three years of practicing it becomes relatively easy. In middle school I took my first art class. I did really well at the drawing part, but when it came to the colors I had to trust the labels that were on everything. After that I started to prefer drawing over anything else.
Now that I'm in high school I don’t have a problem with being color blind. When people ask me if I can hand them a certain color I tell them that I am color blind. Most of the time they flip out and start asking me what color some random object is. I don’t like it when people start asking those questions. Most of the time I’ll just go with it, but if I’ve already told them I’ll just ignore the questions or tell them to stop asking them.
Now that I’m a senior in high school being color blind doesn’t affect me at all. I usually don’t have a problem with it because I don’t really color or paint anymore. When it comes down to doing anything with colors I can usually get the right color just by guessing the right one.
Now it's about to get a little corny but bare with me for this part. In a way im kind of glad I have this problem. If it wasn't for me having this problem I wouldn't be so unique. If you really think hard about what I'm about to say it might blow your mind a little. Just think about how lucky I am to have this “problem” as some people see it. I am in only 6% of all men in the whole world to have this.
