What new appreciations did you develop while working as an intern? Why?
One of the main things I really learned to appreciate is the amount of hard work that the citizens and non-citizens of america put forth. Bouncing around performing timely tasks that can really take a toll on the body, I quickly realized just how hard electricians and other field service men work on a daily basis. It took me three days to slowly install the four ceiling fans. Throughout this process, I got bored of doing the same steps over and over again. It then struck me that an electrician could do this ten times in one day, and turn around and do it again the next day. It really helped me to appreciate the essential work they and others do.
What qualities or characteristics did you see in the people around you that you want to develop in yourself? Why?
A lot of my coworkers and even The members of MakerPlace were able to stop the two "leading guys" here and ask them for help or for advice. This is something that no matter who the person is, I am bad at. I am extremely shy to anyone I am not close with and it takes me longer than usual to warm up to a new person. Although I am now completely comfortable stopping Brian or Michael for help, my first week was fairly awkward.
How did your view of life beyond high school change or develop during your time as an intern?
The internship was quite a shell shocker to me. The main thing that really effected me from it was seeing what having a job is like and seeing what commitments people make for jobs and how hard they work.
How might internship influence the direction of your life?
It has definitely already affected how I will decide on my career path.
