Informal Exercises/Discourse Communities
Within the week I am constantly working with many different nationality from blacks, to
Hispanics, to Indians these people are my co-workers in the morning and afternoon. I then, find
myself chatting and texting my best friends Shamone, Regina and Sheena later on during the
day. Finally, I will call in talk to my family members: mother, sisters, brother, aunt, cousins, just
to name a few. But on Wednesday’s that’s when I have work and school. I have to go to my
Eng 100-11 class at 6:00 pm, my Professor name is Ms. Julie Sanford, and by the way, she is a
great professor.
Then on Thursday’s I have to attend my Physical Geography class at 6:00 pm, my
Professor in this class name is Mr. Alan, he is fun and funny. I am planning on starting a great
Volunteer Internship Program working at the FBI headquarters next summer for 10 weeks. I’ve
just filled out my application 2 weeks ago, and waiting for some feed back from the recruiters.
This internship will be a great burst for me because my major is Criminal Justice; I’m going to
become an investigator for the FBI.
I found myself being apart of Volunteer Internship Program for the FBI with other
college interns.

When I became part of the FBI community there was this 2 year college intern, and two FBI
recruiters had the authority of my group and showed the group the list of rules that one had to
follow while working in that specific area. The rules were no eating in labs, no shorts or gym
shoes, only casual wear, stay in your area at all times, do your job, complete your assignment in
a orderly fashion, just to name a few. If any rules are broken you will receive a fair warning,
after that your internship assignment would be terminated and the FBI recruiters will put it on
your background, so you will not qualify to work full-time for the FBI headquarters.
It was a whole list of rules, but majority of the rules I already knew of from my place of
employment. As the weeks went by I managed to learn different tasks within the department I
was placed, which was the evidence department. I started with the files, organizing them, then to
entering significant data into the computers. Learning a different task almost everyday, gave me
a bigger advantage to gain authority/power in the group by helping others how to enter
information into the computer system, files folders, etc.
Working at the FBI headquarters for the 10 weeks in the summer of 2012, I found that
everything I’ve learned from taking notes to preparing files, that the FBI uses writing in all their
assignments. Writing is a very valuable asset to the FBI recruiters, helping them to be able to
keep track of offenders, victims, rapist, etc to help protect the communities. With the National-
Incident Based System and Uniform Crime Report were the FBI get statistics information on
crime, rapes, burglary and so forth.

These two report systems are a great tool the FBI uses again for not only the crime rates, but to
inform them of any offenders near or on the move in and outside of our communities. With
these systems it is a great source to help warn the FBI, so that the FBI would help warn in protect
the people.
With such great advantage I have working for the FBI headquarters, I found that other
company’s approaches “writing” in a valuable way too. One company I can say that uses writing
as an asset as the FBI, is the construction company. In order for a building to be destructed and
reconstructed the head boss has to write a proposal to the mayor asking for his consent to
proceed on with the construction work. Once they get the approval from the mayor and so forth,
then the contractors would then have a written outline. Followed by a blue print of the new
foundation of the building being reconstructed, with a huge board letting the communities know
about what is being built as well as informing them that construction is on the way.
As I can see every company and communities has to use a form of writing in their
everyday activities to communicate, to construct, to warn our people, for approval, for strikes,
etc. Whatever the case may be we all need writing to help us learn and get by in our daily tasks.
