Midpoint Reflection!

Before I started my internship I wrote a reflection about what I was expecting. Now that I am at my internship I see that it is different from my expectations. For example I was expecting that I would be always be busy with no free time. I also thought that i would be doing many different tasks. Sometimes I am not very busy and sometimes I spend the whole time doing one thing. The differences about my internship compared to IHSL environment are in school we are working together in group, share ideas but in my internship we just do what we have to do, focusing and everyone have a different assignment. The similar is that if you have question to ask, you ask your mentor.

One useful skill skill i acquired from the internship are faxing paper and a better typist. These skills can help me in the future when i have my own job , after finish college. The kind of relationship i have with my mentor and co-workers is very good in both social and intellectuals level. My co-worker always pay attention to me and always here to help me with my works.

I have also matured in professional levels as a result of adult interaction. Working with adults people it is very interesting because i have to behave myself, thinking differently and really challenge me. I think those skills will improve me also for my whole life and trough out for the next semester of internship.

One challenge i had, i was scared to ask question, i spent my whole time in doing one thing and work dependently. Later i figure out it always useful to ask for help when you do not understand and it's not only help me doing the task it also help me moving into a new assignment

Four weks into intenship!

My internship provide help for the Haitian-American service and the young entrepreneurs service. I don't have any particular tasks at my site. My works depends of what my mentor give me to do for the weeks and it can take two or three weeks to finish it. Three qualities i can say about y mentor are: he makes me to challenge myself. He is kind of quiet and he's really focus in what is doing. He's quiet because when he's doing his works, he's always stay focus and talk only if he have something important to say. I don't have any memorable moment at my internship, because everyday i go there is always working and i get use to it. I really enjoy working in the computer, i mean typing in microsoft words, it is really challenging. The most challenging part of the internship it was a site related to my intenship i was working on, i have to upload pictures and stuffs.

MY FIRST TWO WEEKS OF INTERNSHIP

I am Sabrina and I am an intern at HABNET office in Brooklyn. At first i thought i would be shy and would not be able to do the works that they gave it to me. I did not know what i will do and what will be the overall experience of it. But in the next day, everything changed very quickly. My mentor is very kind and helpful.

I thought internship was something that require a lot of skills. If you being focus of what you are doing, everything will be fine. My goals for my internship are t learn more new things every day. I also want to be more comfortable on Microsoft words and power point.

So far, I'm doing pretty well in my internship. I'm working on fliers on Microsoft words and making calls. I love my job and have no idea to change it.
