Reflection Paper On Internship

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 memo describes my progress to date in the course COSC 684 300: Professional Internship in Summer 2015 semester. I shall also discuss my plans to successfully complete the course in August 2015. The memorandum would be divided in three main task areas which were agreed at the time of the individual internship agreement between me and the department.

I assumed that getting the interview would be easy and did not expect Ms. Early to be away at conferences and on vacation for 3 weeks. This was an unforeseen problem that I was not expecting to happen or prepared for. Although I would not have been able to get my interview any sooner than I did, I most likely would have been able to make contact with her and schedule the appointment before she left for the conferences. Not knowing if or when I could get the interview caused unneeded anxiety on my part. Fortunately, the assistant director gave Ms. Early my message and phone number when she checked into the office. We played phone tag and never did get in contact with each other till she returned to the office on June 6th. However, I did email her and attached a copy of the letter I had sent in the mail and she did respond. Since I knew she was aware that I needed the interview for this project I felt more at ease that I would get the interview in time to complete my field project. I was really impressed with how competent Ms. Early and her assistant were in responding to my request for an interview. In addition, I wish I would not had been so nervous prior to the interview because it went very well and I felt very relaxed once the interview

I have the opportunity to work directly with the office’s attorneys to fill out important documentation as well as shadow them while in court. I understand that I may not be able to intern under an attorney again, so one of my goals is to learn as much as I can through the responsibilities of this internship. By the end of this internship, I hope that I am able to understand how to understand legal documents as a lawyer would, as well as have a better understanding of the legal process through first-hand observation. I believe that I can achieve this by asking employees of the office questions about both their duties as attorneys for the city of Manitowoc and what I can do to best fulfill my duties as an intern. I hope that learning by the example of my supervisors will help develop skills that will make me a competitive law school applicant and have success when seeking a job. Overall, I want to make the most out of every aspect of this internships so that I can be a positive addition to the department’s staff while at the same time gaining valuable work

This fall semester, I carried out an internship in the legal department of El Sol, Jupiter’s Neighborhood Resource Center. I assisted the legal program coordinator in filling out paperwork for clients and sat in on consultations with El Sol’s laborers about immigration and visa status, wage disputes, traffic tickets, and other legal troubles. On my first day, I quickly learned how difficult it is, as a part of a non-profit organization, to give people all the help that they need. Part of El Sol’s mission is to “give services to those in need” and they succeed at that in many ways. For example, El Sol’s School for Parents program taught parents positive reinforcement techniques for disciplining their children, such as praising good behavior and listening to their kids. The program as very well-liked by the participants, who felt that they learned useful lessons through the classes. However, in the legal department, it was more difficult to help people to the full extent of their needs.

II.Internship process

For years, public service has been an integral part of my life. However, after coming to Harvard, consulting has become a passion of mine as well. A common dilemma is how to blend both interests into one. Little did I know that I would find this internship at MassIT. If given the opportunity, I would utilize my research and consulting skills to make a difference within the Massachusetts government.

Internship provide the best opportunity to use educational/theoretical knowledge and learn practical knowledge as “apply knowledge and gain experience.” Internship report is submitted to Ms. Laura Logiacco (field placement coordinator at Cambrian @ Hanson), which is essential as per my course of study, and I did my internship under to supervision and guidance of Mr. Amarjeet Mann at Mann travel.

The internship that I acquired during the summer of 2010 at the Greenwood Sports and Industrial Rehabilitation Center (GSIRC), allowed me to gain an immeasurable amount of experience during my tenure at this facility. Within this period, the exposure to new concepts within the physical therapy industry allowed me to observe and work hands on with patients of all ages and disabilities that exposed me to various treatment plans and programs to restore client’s mobility. The essential Physical Education and Exercise Science (PEES) courses taken at Lander University were beneficial to my academic knowledgebase, which prepared me and developed me for the opportunity within the physical therapy discipline. Working as

One of the things that I learned at my internship is that no matter how well a student may perform in a class, this is no sign of being ready for a job in the real world. Even though I had studied my manual before my first day, felt confident of my knowledge in sociology and criminal justice, and presumed to have sufficient people’s skills, I was not ready. My whole life I was convinced that I was strong enough to work as a law enforcer and that I could become a good criminal lawyer. Being exposed to real victims of domestic violence who need to through a legal process while they are suffering emotionally (and many still dealing with bruises on their bodies) has been one of the toughest experiences of my undergraduate career. Despite the fact that I have worked with so many clients in the past months, the story of a 16-year-old client who had been chocked by her boyfriend until she almost passed out during the last week of my internship still touched me. I learned that criminal justice majors don’t necessarily prepare students to deal with the psychological aspect of this career.

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.

The lessons that I have learned from this short internship are ones that I should not have ignored. That includes ideology that social workers should be honest and trustworthy. As I reflected, I have lost my time I considered it not wasted due to the fact I have touched a few lives, while I was there. The main events that happen that seem that I am responsible for that includes an act of God the hurricane. I recalled going to an interview at Recovery First, and I thought the conversation went well and given the internship. I informed the interviewer that I am to complete a total of 150 hours and 10 hours per week I can do my hours Thursday and Friday. I was advised they need someone for the weekend. I responded by informing the

This school year I had the opportunity to be in the internship class. I interned at Lexington Middle School in the media center. I interned under Ms. Shoaf who is the media coordinator. This was not an easy internship. It wasn’t a really welcoming feeling my first few days. It was more of a one day she likes me and then the next she doesn’t. It was extremely difficult to work with. I feel like this had a lot with the ways I fell short. It took so long to actually start feeling comfortable going to my internship and being there around other students and the teachers. This was one of the worst aspects of the experience because it was very difficult to get the teachers to actually take me serious. When I first had to go around and help in the media center I received a lot of “who are you?” and “what are you doing here?” questions. But being the optimistic person I am I planned on making the most of it no matter what. This comes in to what new skills I learned. I learned how to have patience with students and more even with the teachers/adults working there. This is because rarely will you find a naturally nice teacher (in my experience) and one who isn’t forgetful (having patience was very important when reminding them to do the same thing at least 3 times). I learned a lot about communication skills and gained a whole lot of them too. This being because I usually had to go around to classrooms and talk to the teachers or pass out things.

In today’s workforce, learning how to deal with people and different personalities is a major plus for personal success. Good communication can make a person job less stressful, and help the organization to run properly. However, difficult behaviors do exist in the work place. Using conflict management skills can offer different strategies on how to deal with difficult behaviors. Behaviors such as incivility, bullying, and sexual harassment can be resolved using various forms of management strategies (Adler, Elmhorst, Lucas, 2013, pp 120-124).

It is still the beginning of internship and I see myself as a learner to become a practitioner. Internship is putting everything that I have learned in school in practice with clients. Through this time, I have also been ab le to
