Internship Reflection Paper

First Year Seminar is a beneficial, getting started-like course provided by West Coast University during the first term of the program. Since the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is very rigorous this course is helpful in adjusting new students, such as myself, to a very demanding, fast-pace program. This class focuses on topics that help students organize and understand oneself and the mission of WCU mission to achieve the greatest success as a student. In my Signature Assignment term paper I will focus on my experience with FYS and what information I’ve gained to help me understand my learning style, strengths and weaknesses I have as a student, how working collaboratively benefits me and how I will go about achieving success at WCU.

This week I began my 6-week internship at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska (BCBSNE). The first day was a common orientation for all new employees, internally denoted to as the “onboarding process” where all employees are told they matter. This full-day session communicates the core mission, vision and goals of BCBSNE, organizational structure, operating objectives, and workplace culture. BCBSNE is a not-for-profit health insurance company that is focused on collaboration to find the best solution for their customers; in other words, they are customer-focused. Since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), many changes to the health insurance market required a change in the organizational structure and culture of BCBSNE. Through partnerships with providers, the goals of BCBSNE are to be responsive, accountable, minimize errors, and decrease costs – all components of the ACA. BCBSNE has strategically aligned their goals to those of the government-mandated goals, and implemented them at all levels of the organization, making them competitive in the health insurance market. I found this very fascinating: I was very excited after day one!

Working for 1800-GOT-JUNK? this summer was an awesome experience. I really believe that I found the perfect internship for anyone who has never had one before. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Has never had an intern until this summer. So both the company and I were fairly new to the intern and company relationship. I think it worked out well the first person I met was the former vice president of operations Michael fink. I met mike at the career fair that was held in the lane university center. He told me they were looking for guys to do summer work and that they also had a mass communication internship opportunity. A few weeks later I met with vice president of development Gregory frank. Gregory is very upbeat guy who is seems passionate about growing the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Brand. Before I became the intern he produced his own welcome video for the Washington D.C franchise. He asked me if I could help in his mission to grow the brand and to keep wowing customers. I knew i was up to the task. My first week of work was basic I learned how to make “Welcome calls”. A welcome call is just a way to confirm that the client is aware that will be coming out to haul away their miscellaneous items. During the welcome calls we also let customers know that our truck team members will call them thirty minutes prior to their appointment window to reconfirm and they can process payment on site with the truck team using either cash or credit card. During this first week of training I met the managers of

By showcasing brands, businesses, and other organizations, of minorities, this could benefit society to disprove stereotypes help us stimulate the black, or other minority economy.

This summer I am interning at Carmen and Muss P.L.L.C. a small law firm here in Washington D.C. It is a real estate law firm run by member Mindy Carmen. She started her own law firm in the private sector working with government contracts after years of working in the public sector in various parts of the federal government. Over the past few weeks working in the office I have gotten the opportunity to grow closer and learn a lot from Mindy. Who is also my internship supervisor. In my internship I work with her and her assistant, Marissa, a current law student at George Washington.

I have been very lucky to complete an internship with Wayne County Bank this summer. It was a rewarding experience and I have gained valuable knowledge that will be beneficial to me as I continue to pursue my career in Finance. Growing up in a small town with a bank that truly serves our community is inspiring. As a high school student, I volunteered to help WCB in any way needed at the Relay for Life or any other activity they hosted.

The internship was done at "METRO CASH AND CARRY" Bangalore. The objective of this internship was to see the operation of Freebie department and do a project on inventory management of freebie department.

Corina was administered the A.P.S. and told about how the results would help reveal her strengths and weaknesses.

Much to my delight, I was able to begin and end my internship the same way. My last day, December 5th, was another STEAM program. This one based on space and the solar system. I was surprised to see how much the children knew about the planets, especially the younger ones. As someone who was always fascinated by the stars, this program was right up my alley. It was also a significant use of my knowledge. While I did not get many high-fives, the kids were still very interactive and excited to show me their projects. My favorite project for this program was one that gave kids a constellation to take home. Cut-outs of various constellations were there to pick from, then one is attached to an end of a toilet paper tube. Once secured the children were able to use flashlights to shine the constellation on the walls. This was a project that every child took home and were very excited to try out at home that night.

Unlike Paul, I've always gone to church. I grew up in a Christian household that held strong Biblical values. As a kid, I read the courageous acts of Esther, the perseverance of Noah, the obedience of Abraham, the desire to follow God in King David. I have always thought that they're great stories. I would sit in services on Sunday listening to the songs sung, the scriptures read, the three-point sermon preached. But in all of it, there was no personal connection. Here is the story of how I came into an intimate relationship with Jesus.

I am from Congo-Brazzaville and was born and raised there. Now I am a student in the United states and I have been living in Houston for two years now. During my high school in Congo, I used to work hard to always be the best in my class which was the case plenty of time, but not always. In my country, Congo for every high school student in any school at the end of the last year they must pass a national exam which will determine the entry to universities. This exam is named “baccalaureate”, it is written and corrected by the government. The baccalaureate contains seven subjects which are Mathematics, Chemistry, French, History, Biology, English or Spanish, and Gymnastic. A diploma is given for students who succeed. The day for the results is the part I was waiting with impatience.

Walk into my house on a random day and I can almost guarantee you that something is happening. Usually it involves either my sister and I on the floor trying to pin each other down or screaming at each other for taking each other's clothes or eating the last of the leftovers. My house is chaotic and loud and absolutely crazy and I can not imagine it any other way. From the very beginning, my sister and I were complete opposites. She was the varsity athlete while I was the straight-A student. I was raised in a single-parent household and everything we had we appreciated. I grew up in Arlington and attended the local public schools. My memories are filled with taking home class pets, growing bean plants, playing foursquare at recess, and hanging out with all of my friends. But it was in Middle school, especially in eighth grade, that everything started to change. I began to realize that public education was not the best fit for me. I've always been a good student. I never missed an assignment and showing up ready to go was almost second nature to me. I've always had a plan: finish high school, go to a prestigious college, and then go to medical school. As Malala said, “One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world” (Yousafzai 310). I wanted to be that someone who changed the world. My mother used to say that I was a mystery because I was always so driven and headstrong from a very young age. I knew what I wanted and would not stop until I got it. My sister

Since I plan on entering the healthcare field, it was one of the first classes I put on my schedule. After being in this class for a semester, I can attest that it was more than I had expected and wished for. I was pleased with my placement in the Ambulatory Surgrey Center because that is where I plan to work post college. Although surgery sounds exhilarating, I will be honest and say the ASC was not very exciting; but I was still able to experience several instances in the hospital atmosphere. My daily task consisted of snapping gowns and filling towel warmers, so I was not able to see “cool” things. However, I am grateful because I was able to see the real side of healthcare: patients, mistakes, and nurse interactions.

Throughout my writing over the semester I feel I have improved in various ways and I feel this class has improved my writing skills. I have learned throughout the year that I need to continue practicing writing because I have a lot to work on to make my writing better. Before I took this class I didn’t really know how to incorporate a quote into a paper. I didn’t know how to quote sources and how to cite the source so you can give credit to the author. This class help me learn how to incorporate quotes by doing the “quote sandwich” I know now that I have to introduce the quote and put the quote in then you have to explain what the quote is talking about or what it means and how it is useful for the paper you are writing. Before this class I have not written a paper that is more than two pages and with the experience of writing papers in this class it will help me with future classes and further learning. With writing research papers in this class it has helped me in my synthesis (combining other people's words and ideas) because I had to research the ideas and pull out valuable information from others paper about the topic and put them together.. With using multiple sources in my research paper I had to use quotes in all their papers and organize in a way that would show how their paper agrees or disagrees with the other papers. I had to combine all the author's main thoughts and show how they all relate to each other. My overall sentence structure throughout the semester
