Post 9 Internship Final Reflection

Thinking back form to the beginning of internship, my goals for internship were to come on time complete all my hours and help people who needed help  and learn new experience as many as i could form different people who have many experience in their lives.However I have achieved these goals because I have I completed all my hours which is 125 hours and I learned a lot of new experience like how to work with different people everyday and be patient with people and I was also how say things in Spanish because most the people who come to the pantry doesn't speak English that much so I learned a lot from this experience of internship.
Working with professional adult like my supervisor I learned a lot about myself as an student like how be to professional work well with different people and many ideas about working and how getting job in the future.
The highlight of my internship was meeting new from different background and working professional adult who have many experience working in their lives and they though me many things about working outside of the world so that is really amazing to know and wonderful as well because I can use this experience and the advice they give me though whole life.
My thoughts about job,career or the professional world in general as a result of having spent 125 hours working in it very good for every individuals in their lives because the more we working the we are gaining experience in ours lives to become successful.
After high school I want to pursue nurse for my career because it always been my dream to help people and see them happy with good conditions and be healthy in their lives. As result of my interrnship I'm more interested in college because college is the key of following your dream and they way of achieving them in good way however if you don't go to college you will not get the job you want and there is less benefit of the job you have, but college gives more opportunity for job and more benefits.
My biggest challenges to overcome is to pass all the regents and go to college and become successful person throughout life and the way I plan to handle these challenges is to work really hard , challenge myself to overcome these hard things everybody else is facing in life because that how the reality is and just kept going to the reach for the stars for better in life.
If would to sart a brand new internship next week something that I would do differently is to work  at a hospital so when I start my career I would have an how things work at the hospital and learn how to take the patient. And another thing I would is find internship that pays so I get some money while working. Three pieces of advice I would like offer a new interns at my site is to be friendly, kind, respect everyone that you work with and just work hard to complete your hours even if you don't the like work that you do just do it for yourself. However something that I will  at my internship is the friendship that I made people new people especaily they treated me like family and seeing people thanking me everyday for helping them and making them smile.

This is Tom he is the Exectutive Director/Founder of Raching Out Community Service is very hard working man, and very kind and very friendly.

Francine Russo is my supervisor I work with her everyday she is very generous person and friendly. She is the one that who controls what they worker should doand sign my people to enter the pantry to get food. Must of the time she sign my paper but sometimes Tom also signs my paper when Francine went home because she went home at 4:30 while I'm staying to do some work that needed to be for the next day.
314.JPG
This picture shows what I do at my internship which is to walk people around and show them what food they should take or what they shouldn't take, however at my internship sometime is busy but sometimes is not busy .So it could be so boring when it is not busy because the place is than too quiet.
328.JPG
In this picture people are taking free food from outside the shop. This is where we put staff for people to take because not everybody can get  food in the shop so they put outside whoever want it and sometime we don't space inside. Some this  people are not part of the program where they can go inside where they can enter the pantry to get food so we put some extra things outside for them to take.
321.JPG
 At my internship I do a lot of different thing sometimes I pack cans of fruits on the sales and sometimes I bag potatos , tomratoes ,union and many other things that are needed to put in the bag but it not really hard jobs ,especailly when you like what you do. We have all type of fruits can that people can get at the pantry.

Post 4-Midpoint Reflection

  • The primary mission or purpose of the organization I work  for is to make sure that we are helping the people to get what they need through their situations beacuse this organization it really important for people who not working or not getting well paid in their jobs or the single parents out there because I know if my internship didn't exist many peopel not be happy because most of the people are poor so many people can to offer buy health food everyday so this internship is really helpful to many people.This internship has been similar from my expectation beacuse I always wanted to help people and that what Iam doing at my internship and that is really amazing to see these people smiles when they get want. The similar environment that I worked campared to Ihsl's school is that everyone get free food and there is a lot people and I also help people in Ihsl 's school just like What I do in my internship. Through this internship I have learned how to manage my time when there is a lot of work to do and have better communicator with people,however this skill will help me to get job in different stores or organizations.
  •  My mentor and I have very friendly relationship with each other and co-workers is very nice and genegrous people we all treat each other with respect and that is always a good thing because if you don't show respect with the people you work than there is no chance of them to like you or work with you however I feel like I have grown as a result of interacting with professioanal adult because I work an adult people and I'm from them how be responible person as I grown up.
  • My other kind of skills I have gained so far is adotion and keep learning new things everyday.the challenges I have to overcome is be to my internship on time so I can complete my hours on the requiremnent day. however the altered internship schedule has affect me in a way of doing work during the school day now I kind do them for homeworkt sometimes but I manage to get thm done on time because it can improve my grade.
  • My goal for the five week that left of internship I hope to accomplish all my hours and get my all my assignment complete in school so I get time to study for the regents that are coming in june and also hope to learn more skills and keep experiencing  new things everyday.
