Ready For My Internship

Year Up has equipped my classmates and I with a distinguished set of skills and abilities. The skills I’ve learned at the Year up Bay Area will help me create a firm foundation to a bright future and a successful career. A major ability learned and reinforced at Year Up was the ability to successfully network. Overtime I’ve noticed that building and maintaining a network is necessary for a successful career. Though I feel  I am fully prepared to be successful at my internship I do have questions. One question I have concerning my internship is “How can I turn this opportunity into a full-time position?”. I hope the environment at my internship is casual and professionally balanced. The ideal manager for me is someone that helps me feel comfortable about asking questions. Another quality I hope my manager has is helpfulness. I feel I will do a lot better with help from my manager and co-workers. I’m looking forward to my internship for many reasons. The main reason for my internship excitement is the work ethic I will enforce. My main goal is to be offered a full-time position with my desired placement. I plan to stand apart by working hard and displaying my dedication. I feel if I remained professionally determined and show I am willing to learn they will offer me a more permanent role.

When I finally got off the 5 hour flight from California, I was relieved and very hungry. I kept thinking about all my most favorite places to eat in New York. My favorite kind of food is chinese food. The only problem with that is chinese food is different on the west coast. Since i was in New York, I was ready to get me a plate. I got on the train to queens. Then I Caught the Q44 bus from Queens to Castle Hill avenue. When i got of the bus I was smiling from ear to ear. Finally i was home, I ran to my house dropped off my bag, greeted my family then headed out. Once I got to the chinese store and order my plate i was ready to eat. I got my food and finished quicker then i ordered, man i felt good to be home.

Over the break i had a few days to spend in california before my trip home. I wanted to spend my last couple of days relaxing with friends. Luckily I got a couple days off from work. I found out that i didn't leave on the 23rd, i actually left on the 24th. This gave me added time to just hang out and prepare for my trip. With my time off from work and Year Up I decided to spend it just going to different places around the city.

During this winter break I was lucky enough to return back to New York. I enjoyed my trip very much. The highlight of my trip was the time I got to spend with my family. The last time I was in New York was in June, this was the longest period of time i spent away from my family. Coming back was difficult due to some changes had to quickly adjusted to. In my absence I hadn't realized how accustom I became to California. Many things from the weather to the differences in appearance was a bit shocking to me. The neighborhood I left behind was very different from the one I came back to. Through it all I was happy to finally be home. I got the chance to catch up with old friends and family which was something i needed.
