Internship Reflection

Over this past year, a single most outstanding accomplishment that has been a seemingly constant source of pride for me above all else. The summer right before my senior year I took part in Miami Dade’s paid internship program. During that school year, my Information Technology teacher personally told me about the internship program and highly recommended that I go through with it. Eventually, time passed and there was a presentation about the internship and as soon as the presentation ended, I made sure to do all in my power to take part in it. At first, I will admit, I was not entirely sure what to expect from this experience; this was an entirely new experience for me. Despite this, one thing I did know that this internship experience would ultimately benefit me more than anything I have ever accomplished.

I have successfully completed all of the requirements of the student internship program for COSC 494 – Fall 2015.

In the Navy and Marine Corps providing feedback and counseling to Sailors and Marines is a critical skill that every leader must possess. For this assignment, I was tasked with providing counseling and guidance to a struggling 3/C Midshipmen in my company on how they could improve in meeting the standards with regards to morally, mentally, and physically. For the counseling, I chose 3/C Burns who was struggling academically with a D at six weeks in Thermodynamics, a major course in his matrix. With this Midshipman struggling to meet the mission mentally, I was keen on attacking the issue before it developed into a major problem by providing advice, counseling, and a personal story of being in his place before.

I will set up a plan to talk to each of my professor at least three times during the semester. I think talk to the professor could make me more confident in the class, and point out my weak point and guide me on the right track of studying. The earlier I know where my problem is, the more time I can spend on improving. It’s more effective than figure things out by myself. I think talking to the professor will also give me motivation to get good grades on the class. Knowing there is a connection between the professor and me, and knowing the professor have expectation on me will motivate me to work hard.

I have been at my site for about six weeks now and I feel much more comfortable in my current abilities. I have been working on my case summaries and treatment plans further this week. I have realized that keeping a client’s file in order can be a lot of work. Making sure that everything is in the file is very important for any mental health setting, but since my site is a training clinic we are taught to keep our files up to date and have taught me about what can happen if you do not for our future as mental health professionals. As a student who is assigned to check audits (for my graduate assistantship) at the practice I can now appreciate the other side of keeping my own files in order. I like that we have high standards at my site and

My internship is on a consistent routine working Wednesday and Thursday from 11:30am – 3:30pm each day. I am at 15.5 hours of internship work. I completed an online training unit for bullying prevention called Second Step. This program teaches children how to recognize, respond, and report bullying. This training also provided me with a certificate of completion, which I can add to my personal resume. I have also begun working on an attendance incentive program and the entire school will participate in this program. I have worked with the school administration to learn about State and Federal school attendance policies. I have also researched several attendance incentive programs that other schools use. I will be putting together an article on attendance for the school newsletter and further working with my supervisor to make the finals steps in implementing this program.

S.W. Intern greets S.D. with a smile and thanked her for keeping her appointment. S.D. responds “yeah” and does not make eye contact. S.W. Intern starts with a bit of small talk about Halloween in order to to observe and infer the client’s state of mind.

I have an interest in interning at the Strong-Garner-and Bauer law firm, but when I went onto their website they didn't have any internship information available. I was just wondering how I could find out if they're offering an internship this summer? Should I just call and ask or should I send someone an email? Can you tell me what I should do

I was acutely aware of the danger posed by mixing up distinct characters and tone of voice between my three separate speeches, jeopardising the overall coherence and integrity of the work. While I considered the possibility of technically distorting my voice to exaggerate the different personas, I conceded it would corrupt the sanctity of the voice and thus my decision to invoke distinct but complementary voices. This was followed by the recording process, which was undoubtedly the most curiously enchanting part of my Major Work. Currently, I have experimented with my voice with fluency, enunciation, and modulation of pace and tone to engage in radically different personas for my speech, to which I am proud to say characterises each speech.

During the first semester of my third year of undergraduate studies, my father got laid off from his employment. It was difficult to financially support a family of four members. Additionally, my sister was going through medical school which took much of the finances out of the family. I knew that I could no longer pay for my undergraduate tuition for the upcoming semester. This was a terrible time in my life. I tried getting financial aid through the banks but loan processing would take a long time. I was demoralizing to see my father depressed. I confided in my research mentor about my situation and he advised me to look for jobs on campus. My research mentor was directed me towards the job of a lab technician in the undergraduate labs. I

As the semester started, I had set my mind that I was destined to achieve a lot. During the start of the semester, I had several difficulties writing English assignments especially in terms of grammar. During the first week of the semester, I sat down, organized my thoughts and comprehended that throughout the semester, I had to achieve all that I had planned for. As a student of English, I had planned that throughout the semester, I had to improve my skills as a scholar, writer and critical thinker. Now that the semester has ended, I can reflect all the semester activities to depict how my writing skills and critical thinking skills have drastically improved. This paper presents a reflection paper of how this

I found myself in a predicament this summer. Despite my best efforts to avoid this in my first two highschool years, I had one too many courses on my summer workload. It had become a time management nightmare, especially for me. Even preceding this class I had been forced to stay on a regimented schedule. It began with in person American Government. At the same time that course was running, so was personal finance and Database Management II. Finally, these two college courses began on the last week of Government.

It has been a while since I started at the internship and I am really glad I decided to work here. I think the experience in this area is a good preview of my career and future. I am learning some important skills and finding out some things about myself and the tough skin I will need in order to stay in the area of juvenile support.

I completed forty hours for my internship. Throughout the course of my internship I shadowed a school counselor at a private school and a school psychologist at a public school. I observed their job task such as testing, teaching, and conducting meetings. I was able to see the techniques used to communicate with children, adolescence and their parents. The school counselor did most of her work with the elementary and the middle school. I observe her as she teaches a class on core values of the school and teaching the children how to cope with their emotions. The school psychologist mostly works with the middle and the high school. I observe as she tested the students IQ. I also had a chance to observe her talk to students who had conflicted with other students and students who were contemplating suicide.

As my first semester of college was coming to an end, I felt very disappointed in myself to allow my stubbornness get the best of me. I could not believe that I had failed my first semester. To make up for my first semester, I told myself that I would make sure that I seek help from free tutoring services on campus, my professors, and my TA’s. I kept my promise on seeking out help and that led me to drop my Biology L-112 class. I met with a biology counselor and they explained to me that the class would be easier if I took Biology L-111 and had a strong math foundation first. That was helpful because I knew that I wanted this semester to not only be different, but better. However, I was not doing well in finite
