Internship

1. What do you hope to learn or discover about the "adult" world of work while you are at your internship?
Something I hope to learn throughout my internship would be how you have to really rely on yourself and you cannot let others down. Another thing i feel i will discover will be how in some jobs your boss and even others will depend on you, and letting them down can lead you to being fired or laid off. I feel another important lesson would be to always try your hardest and stay on task even when a lot of pressure is put on you.

2. What do you hope to learn or discover about yourself and your identity while you are at your internship this semester?
Although I already feel like I'm becoming more responsible for my actions coming into my junior year, I think that having an internship will really prove to others that I am capable of taking care of myself and my own responsibility's. Something else I hope to discover would be becoming more outgoing and becoming more comfortable talking to those I have just met for a first time. I feel that i am already alright talking to new people but this should help a lot especially with adults and even future job interviews.

3. What goals do you have for yourself for your internship experience?
Like I mentioned before I hope to become more of an outgoing person throughout my internship, but another goal I hope for is to become more organized and responsible for my work. Because internship relates to a future job, I know i will have to be ready for anything that comes towards me and I have to learn how to handle it in a very professional way rather than thinking of it as a joke or something not as important.

I like how she wants to start her internship off by not relying on others and relying herself and letting others down.
