Blog Assignment Post #4:
This internship is helping me to shape my consideration for the future and the paths I may take in the future. This is because I am learning from other volunteers about their college and career decisions. Many of them are unemployed and looking for work. They talk about their college experience and how they dealt with life growing up. This influences me greatly, as I see that there are a lot of challenges in store for me, but if I set myself in the right place, then I will be able to succeed with hard work.
Internhsip Day 6: I get back to work Wednesday. Today the work site is full packed with volunteers, and I find myself chatting with other volunteers in the middle of my work. Herold, the volunteer who was doing job searching in San Diego, chatted with me, and we talked about college situations and finding work.
Internship Day 7: Thursday. There are no volunteers today, just me and Austin. Different from yesterday, I worked through silence and felt sluggish, and time went by slow. Bugs and bugs and more bugs. Bugs. I listened to music but it hardly helped. I went home after work around 4:30 and discovered something; I felt successful and learned that when I am off... I am OFF! I felt so happy and relieved, and it felt like the weekend. One more day and the weekend will come.
Internship Day 8: FRIDAY! Herold came in today and we chatted about the job search, and more topics about college. To his discovery, the Job Fair that he went to only beheld 15 stalls if employers. Herold's struggle to find a job really influenced my outlook on getting a job, and I see that it is a tough time for people out there. I need to work harder if I want to be successful.
Working through the day, I felt weird, like the sorting bugs was a normality now. I felt bored at times, and even felt sluggish. But whenever I give myself a goal (12 jars a day, etc.) I feel motivated to get the job done, and two hours before, I began working more. When I got home, I felt great!
