daily post April 4

well I just want to get your attention by starting with this funny joke haaaaaaaa since last week we stuck in one project it all about research. I'm not really enjoy doing this because it boring just seat in one spesific place to look to the accordience foder to find the document every time you almost done with one they bring another one to you .that mean if you already search in a folder you have to go back on it again to find the new names. it this relaxing anyway i'm not conplaining because that's the way it is.

How has the internship been the same as and/or different than your expectations?


well when I first heard about the internship I was so exited I couldn't wait for the day to come in my head I said the day running too slow all of my excitement was about living early and go to internship to have some freedom a bit and having a taste of how real jobs life look like, but by this present time it look different from how I was expecting it ,I was expected a little more fun and relaxing. but now it become bored the kind of work we 're doing make us sleepy. but anyway we have some experiences.


What is similar and different about the culture of the school environment versus the workplace environment? What new skills have you learned that apply to the workplace?


The blocks in Manhattan is really different from Brooklyn in the fifth ave were we get off we work two blocks to go to the hospital while we walking the street is really busy people are walking with their dogs and there are many different king of people. it is true that you see a lot of professional people how ever there are a lot of homeless I really cant' believe it I see more homeless in there than Brooklyn. One thing that was impress me when I was first go in the internship is the way everyone was so friendly to each other and really nice to us also. from there we have learned so many professional stuff like shaking hand, dress professionally and office work experience .



What kind of relationship do you have with your mentor and co-workers? How have you grown as a result of interacting with professional adults?



Sr Pat the first time I sew her I was frustrated our relationship has grown little by little every day we become more

What challenges at the internship have you faced that you have overcome and how did you overcome them?

some of the challenges that I have been faced are paper junk when you making copies and the paper are stuck on the machine. I remember the first day I went there the first work that I had to do was xerox I was not frustrated but while I start the paper started to stuck on the machine and now it made me felt bad because sometimes the papers are in different directions I had to call a co-worker to help me find the paper where ever it is and the machine is hot when you make a lot of copies. I did a lot of effort to not making the same mistakes million times, cause it would be annoying when someone working to disturbed them all the time. another challenging things that I faced is working in the big cabinet there are full of folders sometimes when you trying to organize the documents you get cut by the papers.

What challenges have you faced in school as a result of the altered schedule and how are you handling them?

well I could say by the multiple of the homework because when we get home it like big day tired day and while we get home I don't feel like doing homework but anyway I have to do it it might be challenging sometimes but I have to go to it before I go to bed. sometimes you already have a long work day.

What goals are you working to accomplish during the remainder of the internship?

during the reminder of the internship My goal is to have good skill ,wonderful work experience from there, to run out with good letter of recommendation, to have good relationship with all of my co-workers, to meet cool people

What new things have you learned about New York City?

the biggest mistake you can make is when you making a mistake then you don't learn from it.

Do not give up

Maybe it’s might be hard to success
But it’s won’t affected the process
Its may lead through tears
Although hopefully it’s will appear
There always be a beginning
When it’s appeared wants to makes you stop from everything
“life is a broken stone”
When things fall apart everything are gone
Although there always be something that don’t kill it at all
Hope and faith are the one which could fulfill the dreams and lead through the next level.
