Quick, get down your first impressions of your job before I know too much!
My internship is at the South Bay YMCA Teen center. What struck me about my workplace is the people that I get to work with. My first day was just a training day, but they made training fun in my eyes. The people that I would be able to work with were nothing like I imaged them to be, I thought that they were going to be stiff old YMCA people but, they were funny, cool, and very easy to talk to. My first day of training was on May 11, 2015 when I walked into the building it did not feel like work. Even though this would be a place that I would work with for a month I was really happy to be here. Going to my first day of training we went over a lot of information but, it was not pointless information it was stuff that we would need when working. for the company. Also all of the information that we received would help me in the long run. I was very surprised that in that first day I was able to take so much away and be able to apply it in my life in a long run. So knowing this It set a really high mark for what the rest of Internship would be. Something that strikes me most about my colleagues we as I said they were just all around cool people. They made it a point that if any of us had any question just to go up and ask them. Which was just great because, sometimes people can be rude and not want to help but, they were so helpfull on very welcoming. On May 12, 2015 I did not have the most exciting job I had sit in a office and watch videos and take notes on them and then after I had to man the welcome desk which did not have a lot of foot traffic. So it just showed me that not every day at your internship would be fun and exciting. The job that I was doing was not something that I would be doing very day because everyday for me would consist of many different task so I would have to very flexible when it came to working so this is something that I enjoyed about that job. Is how we would always be doing something. Something that I an excited about is being able to start my project, I have no clue what my project is yet. This is one of the many things I still need to talk to my mentor about. I know that my mentor will help me create a project that will be beneficial learning experience not only for me but the company as well. Something that I am worried about is not staying busy. I feel that there were moments where I was not doing enough and I could have done more but, then aging it was only my second day. All in all I had a great 2 days and I can not wait to see what is next.
