Midpoint Reflection

So far the only thing that have for me in my internship is me getting better of what i do and focus more on my work. i learned that i must do everything by myself because in life people wont always be there to help you go through things. i say that because my partner had been absent over two weeks which mean i had to do a lot of things by myself. the skills that i learn from my internship is going to new places, when i first work in Manhattan i use to get lost a little bit (lol) but now I'm much faster on delivering madras to other building. i think that skill can help me in the future because you never know once you have a job in the future your boss might send you on a trip in a brand new place. The kind of relationship i have with my mentor is that she always help me when need and sometimes she give me free times to relax. The good thing that i like about her is when she starts telling me stories in back in her days, her stories are interesting it makes you wanna stay longer and do more work at the same times our working. i learned that working with adult is a lot different than the way you work with your friends. You can joke with them sometimes but in the other hand you must always be serious on doing your work and show them that your capable of handling the works that they give you. My English skills have improve a lot because we always speak English with each other and when ever i cant pronounce something i always ask questions, sometimes i learn new words from doing work example i learned that madras is a piece of materials that has special design on them. i also learn how to cut madras and iron things better basically i was never good on ironing clothes ( lol ). In the beginning of my internship i wasn't that good, but to overcome that problem i had to practice more often. Its kinda hard because my job get me really tired and when i come home i go to bed straight away. But when i wake up i start my homework but sometimes when i don't have time at home i finish the rest in school. I have six weeks of internship left by that time i hope i get to finish my helping skills because the business is moving a to new place and they need to deliver all the t.d.g cards they can. Everyday more and more people come to check the place out and see if they like it or not. Some of them come and check of what kind of business we do, sometimes they pick the madras that they like and buy them from us. Always remember that madras is a piece of ,material that has a special design on them.
