*+_+BREANNA+_+*

hey everybody my name is Breanna, I love a lot of things here at Zeum. I started here not knowing too much about this internship. i am now sad that I'm leaving on thursday and probably won't get to see all the friends i've made over the past 12 days ( the program I'm in makes the learning experience really short) because we live really far. I am so glad that I've gotten this opportunity to meet people who come from all over the world to visit Zeum, at first i was like you got to be kidding me and like my second day of working at Zeum i met people who where from israel. I LOVE THIS PLACE!

My name is Jessenia and i love art, music and poetry. Working here is so much fun and has been a very big experience for me, because i have met people of different cultures and races that have inspired me to become more open minded. Also, i have met cool Co-workers that i would have never thought i would be friends with. Im so glad i have had the chance to be here, because i have been learning new things every time i have came to work. I enjoy being around people and making them feel good. Zeum and the people that i have been surrounded with God has truly blessed me to have you guys around me a lot because by the time i leave, i will walk away with new skills, life lasting memories and good friends. I Thank GOD for this opportunity and GOD bless all of u at Zeum that has worked with me. Thank You very Mucho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope you guyz have also enjoyed working with me also.

A Reflective First Blog Post by Brianna

Hey Everyone !
Brianna is taking this blog for a joy ride . I have been working at Zeum for almost one year . That one year mark is coming at me fast and I really can not even believe it . Going from never visiting Zeum to becoming so much a part of it is a dramatic and welcome change . When you first introduce yourself to someone you put down the basics " Hello my name is ___" and then your age , birthday , what you like , what school you go to , and other things along that line. Well heres how mine sounds - Hello my name is Brianna . I'm fifteen years old, and a ZeumMaster.

Zeum is such a big part of my life now . It is a place where I work yes but also it is a place where I learn. I honestly can not say how much I have learned from everyone who works here at Zeum. I believe it is because people who work here are all so different and diverse. If I have a question about anything under the sun and beyond I believe there is someone who works with Zeum that can answer that question ... Or at least know enough to help me find the answer.

Also Zeum is a very rare place where teens can work with adults and feel like they have some importance. I'm not busing tables at some awesome cafe , bagging grocery's at your nearest Safeway , Or even serving you coffee at your neighborhood Starbucks . I am a part of an organization that really incites great feelings in people. A place where people like working . A place that harnesses creativity . I really truly believe that a young children's lives are very impressionable. When I was around seven I used to watch tons and tons of movies . I would read almost non stop . When I used to read I would make the books I read into movies in my head . Then as I realized that I could make the images real . What I saw real . That came in the form of art . Now as I am getting older I still carry that same passion for art .

I think everyday that I work at Zeum I look at all the kids and can notice the ones that are going to take something from this place that day . Really that is what we are here for . To open peoples eyes to something they may have or have not ever before seen . I am just ecstatic to be a part of that great mission.


P.S : This was my first blog not only for Zeum but EVER. YAY !
