Personal Narrative: My Internship At Aflac In Pearl River

The process of finding an internship was very stressful for me. I honestly had no idea where to start or even what I was interested in. It took me many weeks to do research into different facilities that had internships available. After calling tons of organizations I finally interviewed at one that felt right for me. The interview took place with Laura Crain, who I also interviewed for this essay. The internship is at the McHenry County Substance Abuse Coalition.

I knew it was time to start looking for an internship for this summer. While looking at the career services website a few months ago I stumbled across a logistics internship through Anderson Trucking Service. I researched the company for a while, and looked at the internship posting on ATS’s website. During my reading I found a few qualifications that matched my abilities and knew this was the internship for me. A couple of the key qualifications were: strong problem-solving skills, hard-worker, and sense of integrity. I have always pride myself on the fact that I can always accomplish something if I work hard enough. For strong problem-solving skills I go back to my previous job, where I was faced with solving problems on a regular

In Iowa, the State Wrestling Tournament rules over all other state tournaments averaging about 16,000 spectators during the first place matches. But, it’s not the fans that make this tournament special. It’s the boys from all over our state who dream of one day being able to wrestle in Wells Fargo Arena while those 16,000 fans cheer their name.

I am a California Department of Insurance (CDI) Licensed Agent, who poses advanced skills in Microsoft Outlook, Word and Large-scale Document processing. All of my hard skills will serve me well in my career path due to the fact that there is no learning curve, I am already familiar with numerous technology software and adapt quickly to change or new products. Being in the insurance business has exposed me to senior products and tools that will serve well in the Geriatric field. However, I have had no exposure to the Healthcare industry. Therefore, I would like to focus on gaining an internship in order to obtain experience in the field.

When I think about what I could contribute to Florida A&M University based on the knowledge that I do have with your institution is that i’m a extremely committed student who has beliefs that you can do anything that you set your mind to. There may be some times when I may feel discouraged but why must if I feel like that if things aren’t easily handed to you. You must chase your dreams, and when you do that things will slowly fall into place (not exactly how you planned for it to be at times). I learned that through the many obstacles I had to experience to make me the well informed women I am today. The best activity, interest, experience, and achievement in my life was being a Big member of “Big brother, big sister”. Becoming a mentor for

internship has always been a goal of mine. Fufilling this goal has really made this achievment

Monday, August 20th of 2018 will be the first day of my college career at Florida Gulf Coast University! Not only does Florida Gulf Coast have my major but the campus is right next to the Gulf of Mexico which is great for a want to be marine biologist.The best part is that Fort Meyers is a small city but it's also close to Floridas best beaches and attractions. I can't wait to start my education at Florida Gulf Coast University.

This past summer, I worked as a Swim Instructor at The Preserve with the company, Fit Fins. The job was probably the best job a teenager could ever ask for. I got to teach kids ages sixteen months to twelve years old how to swim, I got to be in the pool every day for hours, I could go in the hot tub on my breaks, and I got super tan. There was really only one downside to this job; it was a summer job. By summer job, I mean it only lasts from June to late August. This could also be a plus side, since I get fall, winter, and spring off; however, this means I'm out of a job for nine months. So now my current job is at Old Navy. I decided to get another seasonal job because I figured I needed to pay for things like my Ramen Noodle addiction or the Christmas season.

During my time at Hudson Partnership CMO as an intern, I have come to find that a Care Manager’s personality, ability to be nonjudgmental, and their gift to connect with children and families are just a few aspects that make them great. I have also observed the great results that come from building supportive child family teams. I have determined that my experience interning at Hudson Partnership CMO coupled with my educational background and my skills as a health educator makes me a great fit to pursue a career in the Clinical Mental Health field.

Through interning at an alarm and electrical company I have acquired knowledge about the real world and dealt with customers on a business level. Being in contact with business owners, managers, and employees has allowed me to transition from a high school adolescent to a mature adult. I have taken responsibilities at a young age most others at my age are not willing to accept, such as sending out invoices and preparing personal documents. These qualities and life experiences will be carried with me to Appalachian State and further enhance my performance in the classroom and my overall success at such an esteemed

When I was a senior in high school my father had his second heart attack and had to have open heart surgery. Upon Graduation from High School in May 2016, I made the decision to move in with my Father who is a sixty-eight-year-old Disabled Vietnam Veteran with many health issues. During my Freshman year at Pearl River Community College, his health had declined and the doctors discovered that he had an aneurysm in his chest and blockages in his legs. Thankfully after his surgery was completed and he was able to come back home, I was to be on break so I could stay with him and help with whatever he needed. I am one of six children and have chosen to take care of him and live there in lieu of working outside of College. The two oldest of my

While attending UMD, I have held four different jobs. My main job is a summer internship through Bolton & Menk, Inc. I worked there this past summer and was re-hired for this upcoming summer. My job duties included data entry, construction observation, field measurements, and daily field reports for many multi million dollar road construction projects around the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community and Mystic Lake Hotel. I observed the installation of storm sewer pipes and service entrances in addition to doing field calculations to correct pipe grades. I also observed parking lot and roadway preparation and asphalt laydown. Concrete work was checked and tested for compliance with state regulations in addition to checking string lines for

Do you ever remember being a kid and going to see Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny? That was my favorite time of the year, when Santa Claus came to town for me to tell him what I wanted for Christmas and have a picture taken with him. However, I was more skeptical about the Easter Bunny. To this day he still scares me a little bit, just the costume was a little bit much. I was still forced to sit on his lap and smile for the picture. My family took us every year to Pinnacle Bank in Imperial, Nebraska to go visit for these holidays. Pinnacle Bank has businesses set up throughout six states with more than 140 locations.

In the process of me completing an internship at the Department of Human Services, (DHS) in the department of children and families, I was asked to supervise a home visit with the non-custodial parent which in this particular case (father). So in this case the visit always takes place at the local park within the community. The custodial parent (mother) drove by the park and seen that the child’s father brought along his present girlfriend’s daughter to accommodate him with his visit with his son. The mother got upset because the father brought along his girlfriend’s

My job at Mercy Health Saint Mary Campus was ironic. Most of the experiences that I acquired were different from what I have learned from FSU. At the college, I learned the basic computer hardware, software, and operating system. I took a class on how to repair computer by taking it apart and troubleshooting it with software. The other classes were networking, security, and windows server. I was surprised that desktop support technician at Mercy Health has a different process of how to do their jobs. I don't have all the permission to do everything myself. Most of the jobs were assigned to a specific team. The WAN team who is responsible for the network equipment such as the routers and switches. The LAN team job is to configure the servers.
