Internship Final Reflection

1. Think back to the beginning of internship. What were your goals? Did you achieve these goals? If so, what did you have to do consistently to achieve the goals?

At the beginning of internship, my goal was to gain new skills such as office and to meet with other people that are professional. Achieving these goals wasn't that hard because the site where I intern everyone seems to be nice and it was easier for me to achieve my goals.

2. What are the most important ideas or skills you’ve learned in the last 10 weeks?

I learn how to scanned documents, checking files in the hospital database and prep document before  being scanned.

3. What has having a relationship with a professional employee such as your supervisor/mentor meant to your personal development? How have you have grown as a student and/or young adult in this relatively new country?
It was very nice to develop a good relationship with my mentor and co-workers which mean a lot to me because having some one professional in your life and who is willing to help you is always important. Working at this site made me a better person, Now I know how to act with professional people which is important because it prepare you for the real world.

4. What were the highlights (memorable moments) of your internship experience?
The memorable moment at my internship is interacting with the co-workers, specially a guy name Troy who always sais jokes and he is so funny.

5. What are your thoughts about jobs, careers, or the professional world in general as a result of having spent 125 hours working in it?
The thoughts part about internship is going to internship every single day and some time going to my site alone because i will be so bored on my way which is discouraging some time.

6. After high school, what do you want to pursue for a career? Are you more or less interested in college as a result of your internship?
After High School, I want to go to college because that the only reason why I am in this country to accomplish my goals and which is another step toward my life.

7. What were your biggest challenges to overcome and how did you handle those challenges?
My biggest challenge was understand my duties  because some time it varies and At first I did not know what to do when the co-worker are not around, so I was little nervous about going to ask my mentor about what to do.

8. If you were to start a brand new internship next week, what are at least two things you would do differently?
I would make sure I complete all my hours as quick as possible, so the day I miss internship I won't have to make it up and be more open to others at my site.

9. Think of two to three pieces of advice you could offer a new intern at your site.
For future interns, I would tell them to ask the co-workers before you ask the supervisor, Don't be afraid to ask questions about something you having hard time finding and always take your time while working so the work will be accurate.
10. What will you miss about your internship?
I will miss everyone in the building because they been nothing but nice to all of us,always asking us if we need any help.

POST-4 Midpoint Reflection

The organization were I intern is basically about scanning files and helping the employees toward they employement. all they document are scanned on sofware called onbase. Every one at my internship is very busy working on the employees document or answering they phone calls. Every time we check an employee document, they always ask us if everything is scanned on base and if something is missing we should put a not that says" pages missing  need to be scanned on base. My Internship and our school is very different because you hear lot of noise in school and people are changing classes every time. At internship, everything is different becasue every body are doing they own work and it is a very quiet place because everyone is a profesonnal in here, so there is no time to play around. This is a good experience because you get the feeling of how the real world really look like. The experients you learn while interning is very helpful in the future when you get a job. I learned how to check document of employee on base and how to do prepare the document that need to be scanned, which I enjoy a lot more than checking file on base. Unfortunantly I did not get a chance to scan because there a co-worker who is on charge of that, if we can't find something on base we let her know so that document could get scanned. My mentor and the other co-workers are very nice and helpful to us because they always ask us if we need any help and we have a good relationship, especially a guy named Troy, he is funny and even if you not happy, he will make you laugh no matter what. I don't see anything wrong with my English, only the accent I have. I want to get rid of it. Each day I have to check paper if it's is on based and since I have a rubber finger, I can count with it much faster than last time. The scheduled don't affect me because I go to internship on time. Not all the classwork are getting done and I will make sure I manage my time and be responsible. Two goal I have is to complete all all the hours required and hopfully I gain more skills.

Post 1- First Impressions

My supervisor name is Anthony Bruni and his the Assistant Director. His very nice, funny and professional. Also his very busy because sometime he have more than 2 meetings a day .I intern at NYU Langone Medical Center. They have different department in Manhattan, the department where I work is located on Park Avenue, and it’s a nice and tall building. The place is very professional and there is security in the front desk. If you don't have an NYU I.D, which I have, they would take a picture of you then you good to go. Some one I that I see at my internship is Carl and. At first I was little nervous because I didn't know what to expect. The place is very quiet and everybody is very busy. They are lot of staff members and interns but all the interns graduated from college except Carl and I, Carl was the only one that I talk to because we know each other but now we cool with everybody and all of them are very nice and helpful. My internship is very professional and busy because everybody in my department have different task that need to be completed. I intern Monday to Friday, from 1pm to 5pm. My daily activities are to make sure the information in the papers are the same as the information they have on the computer, if they is anything missing we need to let them know so they can scan the missing part. Working at NYU is very unusual for me because I never been around professional people in my daily life and this place is very good opportunity for me to gain experience about office work.
