IPOL Week

Something I'm very grateful for during internship would be the experience over all. It really solidified what I want to do as a full time job. I really like how the workplace is very fast paced, and how the work can vary from day to day. Its never really sure what you'll be doing on certain days. I also really appreciate my mentor and how she took me on as an intern on such late notice, she guided me and taught me new things throughout the entire internship and helped me develop new skills. I've also just come to appreciate my parents in general, working a job like the one I was able to work in can be and is stressful at times, but the good part is that you're mainly sitting in a comfortable office chair. Many people such as my parents have to be constantly moving around at their job due to the environment of it. It made me reflect and really appreciate how hard my parents work to be able to provide for my siblings and myself. 

Lots of things went well during internship, it wasn't what I was expecting it to be and it somehow I just loved coming to work and doing whatever I was doing that day. The only thing I do regret is procrastinating on finding an internship. Even though I did end up getting one, its a bad habit I wish to get rid of. What stood out to me the most was how their was no specific schedule. The work here really varies from day to day like I said before, one day I could be sending letters the next could be opening a case, or making a depo template. I thought it would be a tad bit more structured but its the complete opposite.
