Internship Final Reflection
Did you meet your goals?
Yes!, I achieved my goals from my internship. ;)
What are the most important things you’ve learned?
I've learned how to be more independent and active.
Also, skills which will help me ALOT in future.
In what ways have your grown?
It's kind of wierd to say this. But I think I became more mature(?) , independent, and productive. After this great experience, I felt humongously change in my life. (in a good way)
What were the highlights of your internship experience?
My highlights were working near adults. Beginning of internship, I felt wierd,uncomfortable, and pressured. But there was always a moment where I kept close touch with my workers. So I was able to do great job.
If you can, describe a memorable moment or experience.
The memorable moment of my internship was when I first saw everyone on their task with focus. Normally, in HS, we just fool around. But the internship place was way more than I expected.
What challenges did you overcome?
I felt I've overcome with works given by co-workers. Sometimes I coudln't understand a single word, because I was really sleepy and tired. Fortunately, I overcome my weaknesses and completed all the works nicely.
What advice would you give a new intern at this site?
If I were...I would say try to feel comfortable with the intern site & try to enjoy it instead of hating.
What will you miss about your internship?
I'll miss all the TCP workers. I felt HUGE inspiration from them.
These good memories will be stucked in my head forever..^-^

Pretty Good day. I did research whole day.
My eyes are sort burning. Also, I feel sleepy. Today, I did a same research on computer. But I had to look for magazine company. Which was difficult to search for.
There was not much magazine company that fits the category. Which was about parent's side of undestanding teenager's behavior and etc.
So I only found 2 of them. Hopefully I wish I could find more tomorrow.
