Midpoint Reflection

My Internship has been great. I didn't have expectations about my internship but I love it. I discover something about myself. I like to write to express my stories and let others read them. By the way, I love the place, we mostly work individually, but there are also times in which we work as a team. It is great to get along with co-workers and work with great people as in my internship the product of a team work are the magazines that comes out each month.
My internship is kind of the school but It is a totally different environment. For example, my mentor is like my teacher. She gives me instructions of what to do and assigns me a task. Sh explains to me when I don't understand. She teaches me new skills and its a great person. My co-workers are like my classmates. Sometimes we work in teams, we get along well and together we do a good job and finish our job.
I also learned some skills. I have become a better typist since I do a lot of witting and type it in the computer. I learned how to do interviews by phone and in person. I am improving my networking skills and I am sure that all these skills are key of success.
My mentor and I talked all the time and share thoughts. I am glad to have Marie as my mentor. She listens to me, we share thoughts about the issues we are working on or reactions about something that we read related to the current issue. Like I said I get along well with my co-workers, I learn from them and we share experiences.
I have grown as a result of interacting with adults, simply as it's different. I have a job to do, which I must finish because I have deadlines. It is like a job in which my mentor is my boss and I am growing because I have to be mature and take responsibility of my work.
My challenges have been to write my personal stories and sometimes to finish my articles. I overcame them by the help of my mentor. She offered me her support and guide me to the right path to get all those things done.
I love my schedule. I think this semester is great since I am going to my internship. It taught me to manage my time. I stick at my schedule and keeps me really busy! Even though, sometimes I feel stressed out because of school work, college now and internship I learned that it is important to have a schedule to get all things done and also have time to rest. Now I am used to this schedule and I feel it is like college.
In the next couple of weeks my goals are to write as many stories I can, write a reported story for the next issue (Criminal justice) do interviews, keep learning new things and meet new people.
I learn that New York City has a lot of great things to see. I learn a little more about it when I have trips at my internship in which we go to interview people. For example, yesterday we went to interview Donna Lieberman,Executive Director of New York Civil Liberties Union and I got to see a beautiful view from the 19th floor of the building and I saw the different helicopters ports located by wall street.
