MIDPOINT REFLECTION

What is similar and different about the culture of the school environment versus the workplace environment? The similar part i think is that you have to do work, but the environment is very different. It is an office with like about 10 people and is mostly quiet (very different from school)

What new skills have you learned that apply to the workplace? Which of these are transferable skills? In my internship site i have improve on my communicative skills due to making some phone calls. these are transferable skills because i will need to talk on the phone in the future jobs.

What kind of relationship do you have with your mentor and co-workers? How have you grown as a result of interacting with professional adults? What kinds of communication (verbal and non-verbal skills) have you gained?
i am more comfortable talking with adults at my site and i think i can establish a conversation and clearly get my point across. my mentors are very nice and outgoing and that makes it easier for me to talk with them.

What challenges at the internship have you faced that you have overcome and how did you overcome them?
i have face the challenge of making decisions by my self. example, there are things that i would like someone to give me an opinion so that i can do it, but now, i can be certain that the decision i make is the right one.


What challenges have you faced in school as a result of the altered schedule and how are you handling them? now that we have much less time in school, the work that is given to us is very much, making them into homework. it is very frustrating because i get home very much late and very tired to go do my everyday needs and then homework.

What goals are you working to accomplish during the remaining five weeks of the internship? my goal is to remain on my internship and complete my missing hours of work.

What new things have you learned about New York City?
I haven't learn anything about New York City for now. is this related to the internship??
