My Conference With Professor Angeline

An internship can also heighten the awareness of community issues, motivates to create opportunities, embrace new ideas, and give direction to positive change. A successful internship can provide valuable information in making decisions about the direction of future studies or employment. An internship is an opportunity to not only use and develop industry-related knowledge and skills, but also to enhance some of the skills that are transferable to any professional work setting. For some people, the internship is the first introduction to the world of work. No matter where the skills and understanding of professionalism lie, internship is a chance to develop them even further.

Overall after reading the text InternQube: Professional Skills for the Workplace, this text was very useful as well as interesting. I was able to get a better understanding on what type of mindset I should have going into the workplace every day. This includes daily goals and routines, the way I should professional dress, how I should conduct myself on a professional level in front of people of higher status. InternQube was excellent for my first couple weeks at my internship Stenton Family Manor. First I was able to write up daily work objectives to what I needed to get done for the day. These objectives consist of work practices that would better help me in my field of management. I develop questions for myself such as, what does it take

I am not clear of what is expected of me as a Social Work intern, or what to expect from supervision as this is my first internship and I have nothing else to compare it

How is it that in the news we tend to focus on the killings and murders rather than foundations and charity projects? Why do we spend our time dwelling in problems rather than focusing on our accomplishments? Many people in this world have to hear of something horrible for it to occupy their mind. In the Ted Talk by Julia Bacha, she explains that Palestinians and Israelis have been using nonviolence to solve issues when the rest of the world has never known about it. One of the main reasons that the world is blind to the use of nonviolence is because it isn’t bad. Bacha tells the audience that if more people pay attention to the use of nonviolence, it can be spread to other situations. In one of her case studies, she enlightens the audience about a town called Budrus. Budrus, a village near Israel, was going to lose 40% of its land due to a wall barrier to help sustain violence between Israel and Palestine. In this situation violence could have been the easy solution; however, the people of Budrus used a peaceful resistance campaign to stop the barrier from being built. Not only did the people of Budrus convince the Israelis to move the wall, but also they found out that nonviolence could have a major impact on immense decisions. Bacha shares that nonviolence and violence are similar in that both seek an audience. Violent actions attract a bigger audience, which can make nonviolent actions seem less appealing. Throwing a tantrum as a child is a good example of violent

Internship is a period of work experience offered by an employer to give people (usually college students and graduates) exposure to the working environment. It gives them an opportunity to get first-hand experience. The growing need for practical learning led to the emergence of internship. It helps to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. Internships in any form- paid, unpaid or co-operative learning has now become a standard practice for college students. It has

I learned a lot during the internship and in my reading of your first two years in youth ministry. I learned that comparing yourself to others is not good. I need to realize that Gods love and approval is sufficient. Another thing I learned was that numbers in youth ministry are not crucial. It is better to focus on the overall health of a youth group. I learned that it is important that a minster stay spiritual fresh. In order to do that a minster should be insuring he is being spiritually feed. Having a mentor is really important in ministry. A minster needs someone to help keep them encouraged and motivated

I started working for Grand Rapids Community College as one of their student employees, not too long ago I was assigned to the Lakeshore campus at the Midtown Center, the campus had very few employees, and so the responsibility of training the new employees was designated to me. It was the most challenging task that I have ever encounter, because I felt that I was not fully train for the position. Despite that I knew the basics of what they needed to know on their first day. I know they need to be familiar with their surroundings, as well as, how to answer questions properly, and how to handle different technology devices.

During my nine weeks doing my internship at The Department of labor of Veterans’ Employment Training Service (VETS), I was finishing the project that Tony assign to me. On Wednesday (13), I was able to finish the project. It took me a lot of my time, but the result is worthy because that would be helpful to use for people that are seeking for jobs. Before I was finishing the project, I had to get ready for my presentation in the conference room. I am so proud of my-self because I was able to do the presentation and I felt more comfortable than before. However, there were some things that I can improve. For example, one tip that everyone in the conference suggested me to do is that I should speak more slowly because I have an accent and it can help the audience to understand me better, if I slow down a little bit more. After I finish the project I was able to leave a little bit early than usual.

Jane McGonigal said "I'm gonna try to increase the lifespan of everyone in this room by 7 1/2 minutes....LITERALLY!!". I was already smiling waiting for her to get to the punchline, because I figured this had to be apart of a joke."LITERALLY, YOU WILL LIVE 7 AND 1/2 MINUTES LONGER THAN YOU WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE JUST BECAUSE YOU WATCHED THIS TALK". Not hearing her full speech I pre judged her and thought she was a very arrogant person. From the beginning, I couldn't tell her talk was going to be about a video game. I could imagine hearing magicians like Whodini or David Copperfield making such bold claims then following with some magic trick to entertain their audiences. She also said she had the math data to back up her claim so my second thought was maybe she's a

After you watch the Ted Talk, please write a one-page reflection and try to incorporate what we discussed in class. What I am looking for is how many concepts from class that you can link with her talk. There are articles on the Power Point slides (look at the references with links) that you can use as supplementary reading if you wish.

Andrea Reed was an amazing speaker. Not only did she just have a great energy in general and you can tell she has a passion for the job, but it wasn’t just a sales pitch to be crime scene. It seems like when speaker in other classes come in and talk about their job they just want to tell you the good aspects like a sales representative or a military recruiter. Andrea told us the most amazing parts of the job and also the darkest. I have an advantage because of my job and I get to see the good and the bad already and I know I can handle it, however a lot of people don’t get the same experience during an internship or at all so they get really far and realize there are some things they just can’t deal with, which is okay. Some of the downsides

During the training I learned better ways to use the students past accomplishments to help the other students understand the topics. Overall I personally felt that the training was outstanding and it presented me with several new ideals as to how I can present my lectures.

     I was able to be successful in this internship because I had to utilize and develop many new skills. I used my interpersonal skills such as: coping strategies; peer relationships and effective social skills; communication, problem-solving techniques, decision-making, conflict resolution, how to work in a team, where everyone depends on each other and a lot of patience. I developed many new skills such as multitasking, problem solving/decision making, and leadership qualities. I learned that I am a role model. It is important to develop a good relationship with students; however, I must keep in mind that I am expected to behave myself in a professional manner at all times. I also learned some of the important skills of a teacher such as: how to provide direct instructions, clarify content, teach skills and answer the students questions; help students identify their skills, abilities, and long term plans regarding education and personal problems.

An internship is no good if you do not make it work. Thus making the internship work for you is very important. To start out the student must want to direct their full attention to the internship because the internship is pretty much starting out their future. First impressions are usually suppose to be good so a student should not go into an internship thinking that it is going to be easy and that they can just blow through it. Internships should be beneficial for the students and the employer’s. The internship program coordinator should look for a few things when they are picking out the companies in which they are going to send their students to learn and gain experience. First off the firm in which you might be thinking about going into for an intern must have work for you to do. Sitting behind a desk all day staring out the window will not teach you anything. It also helps out when there are positive people surrounding the student intern. “For an internship to work, the firm’s principals must be available to supervise and teach.”(Berger 30) The student intern will usually have lots of questions and if there are good people around the intern to answer his or her questions and correct their mistakes then the internship will be quite beneficial.
