How has the internship been the same as and/or different than your expectations?

Well, i expect my internship to be like everyone that does hours extra and then get days off but NO!. We did so many hours extra and we didn't get any day off, so we decisive to not make any more hours extra. Also i though we will be working with computers a lot and phone but not at all we did was worked with papers and even more papers.My expectations about internship has changed a lot. I used to think that it would be fun but now i figured that it is a really serious job and is really busy and boring : ( I will never never work on a office not even if they pay me 100 per hour and that's a lot. I though is we mad mistake it will not be really serious causes we just started working and we were supposed because we don't even know much about it and for one mistake we did Jane got really upset and kind of mad and it was another story with Sister pat i knew she was going be really serious but she past the limits OH MY GOD she talked about the day i was home sick but i called her and told and also that day with the trip to New Paltz. she say when you get a sheet which told her the days we were out and she saw that day we were supposed to be in and she got upset and call Sean. OH MY GOD ... she is really something!

What is similar and different about the culture of the school environment versus the workplace environment? What new skills have you learned that apply to the workplace?

They both have a very different and Similar thing. I will say in school you get more freedom then at the job. In school you are not always busy. In school and at my site we can work together. But in both really you can get really busy. But the environment are really the same some thing you really busy but something you get time to relax. I have learn a lots of knew things like filing papers that need different employee for different sections and also how to used more the coping machine and how to fax and more things that will be useful for me to know.

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?

The kind of relationship that i have with my mentor is not really that great she gets on my nervous but i got to deal with it though : ) but my relationship with my co-workers is great they are all so friendly Jane , Jeniffer, Yariza and Escarlin they are the most friendly people i ever met the treat us like friends. Well i think i kind of grown little bit because i still little shy but i open up more though.

What challenges at the internship have you faced that you have overcome and how did you overcome them?

Well there were not that much challenges in my site we just work with papers. But one i did overcome was working with big file the lagers drawers, i got really confused because the numbers and the letters and some other thing had to be file different and they all needed to be in the same drawer but i got two work twice on this so now I'm pretty good. I ask questions can you believe me asking questions but i did and that's how i learn.

What challenges have you faced in school as a result of the altered schedule and how are you handling them?

When i come home late and then i have to do a lots of homework and projects and had to go to sleep really late doing my work. and teachers kept on giving us even more work.What i did was i stared doing some homeworks on the rain because it's a 45-50 minutes ride and i got them with half of them so then i had less at home and went to sleep early.

What goals are you working to accomplish during the remainder of the internship?

I really don't have any goals and this time expect to finish quick and to learn as much things as i can during the time i have and also to a lest used the computers and phone for once at the site.

What new things have you learned about New York City?

Not really much expect that I love York it rocks man, New York City is the best.
It's fun to walk down the streets of this city with all this white people and the dogs and Dargreeny running way for them she scare of them [ LOL]. But too many people smoke on the street and others are liking wearing no clothe i mean it's not summer YET!

I LOVE THEM!!

U do write alot...in a good way.

Thank you for so much detail. Where to begin...

You did get a very demanding site for your internship. and it is wonderful to hear you take the mature route and recognize that it is difficult, but you will try and learn from it and know that in the future you will seek a career that is not in an office.

It is interesting that you say there are so many similarities between school and work. Many others have noted many differences.

It is so great that you are figuring out new strategies to get homework completed and get enough sleep.

Smoking white people in New York...they are everywhere in this country: )

Superb Post!
