Supply Chain Reflection

important to the supply chain that keeps things functioning correctly. It’s like a car with perfect alignment if everything is aligned right the car will drive straight, but once alignment is off it steers in the wrong direction.

It all started four years ago when I started volunteering with my supervisor and owner/operator at the Ronald McDonald House in Houston. This has now become an annual thing I do. I also volunteered my time at the Montgomery Country Food Bank. Both of the places are an unforgettable and memorable experience that makes you feel good about yourself. At the Ronald McDonald House my leaderships began to increase more, because I got the opportunity to speak to families and understand why they were there. I as well as my superiors got the opportunity to serve the children and families there for dinner. I interacted with all the people I got to serve, which helped me build my communication skills. I volunteered at the Montgomery County Food Bank last year, and it was definitely worth my time also a great experience. The job duty there, I did was buddy backpack. This was where you fill a backpack up with a number of goods and items for local children in need. There was nine other volunteers including me. The first task was to establish on how we were going to complete this task. My leadership skills came into play and I suggested an assembly line. During my time there I didn’t expect to get advice on my career, but luckily I did. I met a Geologist there that worked for Chevron Corporation in Houston, TX that used to be the old Enron building. The conversation started during the time we were packing the goods down the assemble line he made a comment saying boy your fast. Then the conversation went out what do you do for a living. I told him my current position and I am in college for earning my Bachelor’s Degree in Supply Chain Management. The Geologist was a very smart man in the way he talked, and gave me great advice to stick to it young man it will all be worth it in the long run. Supply Chain Management is a great career and has many opportunities than many
