Personal Narrative: My Internship At Shady Hollow

Last year was my first year as a college student. After much anticipation, I was finally starting my university career and studying what I wanted. Classes started and everything was okay, but deep down I knew I wanted to study away from home. When graduating high school I had decided to stay, thinking it was the smartest decision since going to college is not the easiest transition and adding going to another country would have been too much for me. But two weeks into my first semester I decided to start my research.

I am writing to express my interest in the classroom assistant position at UCLA Lab School that is available in the work study job search at myucla. I have much experience working closely with elementary teachers to assist in classroom management and activities. It will be a pleasure for me to share my teaching assistance knowledge and experience with your institute.

My trade at the Woodland Job Corps Center in Laurel, MD is carpentry. I chose carpentry because I love to construct buildings. I have always wanted to build and design my own home. The plan is to build my mother’s house in the future. At this time there is a demand for carpenters in Maryland. My goal is to seek employment as a carpenter in Silver Springs MD, once I leave Woodland Job Corps Center in Laurel MD. A company located in Silver Springs MD, Terry Carpenters states “if I sign up and join their business, they will help me find homeowners that need help building and repairing” (Carpenters). If I choose to work for a company like them, I can start my own business for myself. Their slogan is “Get new clients Grow your business, we connect you with homeowners who are looking for your services” (Carpenters).

I am a high school senior at Fair Park, looking forward to my first year at Jackson State University in the upcoming fall. My cumulative GPA is currently at a 3.6 average and anticipating to increase next semester. I would be considered the best person to receive a scholarship simply because I go the extra mile to assure my success. Although college is an extensive goal, it could be quite expensive. There is no better way to pay for college than by being awarded money for outstanding academic excellence.

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

Today was my first day at my new internship at Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIOs) at Saint James. I worked alongside with my site supervisor Sue-Ann Villano, she gave an introduction to RHIO and its purpose. I was also introduced with other employees in the office and their contributions to RHIO.

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

As a faculty member, I have experience teaching to diverse audiences. During my time at Youngstown State University, I worked within a student population that had a significant minority and low-income population. I provide opportunities for all students within my courses. In my class, I foster an environment where students are respectful yet feel safe to offer diverse opinions that will be of benefit to everyone in the class. Within my courses I often add an assignment to write about a diversity issue within community. I have also brought speakers to my classes from various minority communities.

I felt anxious about attending RU. Now that I have been here a week I am feeling motivated. Living close to campus gives me the ability to be completely immersed in the college lifestle, therefore, allowing me to have the chance to join various clubs and the chance to use the many resources that will advance my academic career. Being able to join a club here at Rutgers will help me be able to feel like a Rutgers student. The amount of opportunities this school has is endless, and I plan on taking full advantage of such benefits.

This internship experience at Superdome Sports has allowed me to build on many skills needed to develop my professional career. For starters, it has given me the opportunity to effectively communicate with peers and professionals, both orally and in writing. My responsibilities included a lot of communication with the customers at the front desk, where I helped them with any questions or issues they may have had. I was able to build my customer service skills by helping them in the best possible way with the most clear and correct answers. I also worked with many employees. It was my responsibility to clearly communicate the schedule for the week as well as the staff schedule for the counselors. Not only that, but whenever there was a

This past August I had moved from my hometown of 18 years to a college an hour and a half away. The name of that college is Bradley University.

Doing my internship at AMH did not afford much opportunity to advocate for clients. The state has specific guidelines for what can and cannot be done for clients. Funding for AMH comes from the government and policy and procedures are created from federal and state decision makers. There is only a certain type of client that can be served at AMH. They cannot have any form of insurance and many have no income. When a client is approved for Medicaid, they are immediately referred out. There is no thought to how transferring them to a different counselor is going to affect them. The rules are the rules and when one door opens, the other one closes. It is also difficult for those who are used to getting certain medications to help with their

I think the courses I took at Wayne State prepared me for my internship. Through my internship I would look back at notes or books from past classes and was able to find information on the things I was looking for. However, medications are super hard to learn, and there are a ton of them. I know there is a medication class that’s an elective, so I wish I would of taken that so I could better understand some of the

Due to my great passion and excitement for event planning, I applied for the summer Special Events internship program. I learned about this position through The George Washington University’s student job portal. I am currently a GW School of Business first-year student planning to pursue in the Sport, Event, and Hospitality Management concentration.

Experiencing life at the top can give people a sense of power and invincibility. It makes them feel as if they are above the world and they have a better life than the person next to them. My invincibility blossomed right after my eighth-grade graduation. Being in the eighth-grade, I lived at the top of the middle school food chain. Feeling untouchable became normal to me. High school began next year, and I knew my athletic, social, and academic abilities were at the top. Peaks did not appear in my vocabulary. I believed I would get to the top, and I would stay at the top. What could possibly stop me from getting anything I wanted?
