Four weeks into internship

Part One 3/25/10

I am a writer at New Youth Connection. New Youth Connection writes magazine written by teens and for teens. My common tasks are (1) Write a story. (2) Read information. (3) Do an interview. (4) Participate in discussions. (5) Attend to meetings. My mentor is patient, understandable, nice, good listener, smart, kind, a very good person...
I say that she is nice because every day when I come into the office always smiles and greets me. She is available and always answers my questions. And she is a good boss- I am learning!

In the past three weeks something that mostly stood up for me was seeing my article almost ready to be publish! I felt really excited and proud to be part of the next issue of the magazine to let others learn from it. Also when I had a good time interviewing people on th street by Penn Station.

I also have some challenge on my internship. The most challenging part on my internship is to have an idea of what to write about. That is the most challenging because sometimes I don't know how to start, but once I know what to write about the task is easy.

Part Two:

My internship is located at 224 W. 29th St.- 2nd Floor, New York, NY. Therefore, from Monday- Wednesday I leave school at 11:30 to arrive at my internship at 12:35 and leave my internship at 4:35pm, this means that I work three days a week, four hours each day so, I mostly arrive home at 5:20 pm. My mentor's name is Marie Glancy - Editor from New Youth Connections. She always signs my time sheet and makes sure I make up all my hours.

This past two weeks have been a little different from the first two in the way I am no longer in rush to finish my articles since the deadline already past, now I have a break.
