Midpoint Reflection Questions
How has the internship been the same as and/or different than your expectations?
So far..my internship is sort different than I expected.
I was expecting all the work to be SUPER difficult. But it actually wasn't.
However, each work involved in patience. Which sometimes I had little trouble with.
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?
There's huge difference between school and my working place. In my intership, there's bunch of adults working with you and it feels odd to fool around up there. On the other hand, school feels more comfortable to do stuff freely. I also learned many skills from my internship. Through those skills, I think I became organized.
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?
I have good relationship with everyone in internship. I didn't have a single problem with anyone. My interaction with professional adults grew much better.
Now I know how to dealt with professional adults. I think I became more mature as working with them together.
What challenges at the internship have you faced that you have overcome and how did you overcome them?
Pretty much every task in internship was new challenges to me.
I was told to do many things and tried to overcome with good attitude.
I often felt "What am I doing here like this?" But I kept on overcoming my weaknesses and went through well.
What challenges have you faced in school as a result of the altered schedule and how are you handling them?
I felt my level of education is slow and there's not enough time to spent in class.
So I often study for my upcoming U.S. history regents and SAT.
What goals are you working to accomplish during the remainder of the internship?
My goals for remain internship is to try to have fun.
By these chances, I could early experience how my job would be like.
I meant I'm doing this for my own good. So I should take it seriously.
What new things have you learned about New York City?
What new things have you learned about New York City?
I've learned that NYC is right match for my future major.
It's a place, where every international people gathers to achieve something.
Which including me. ^-^
