Blog #5: Graditude

I am grateful for many things. I am grateful for the life I live, considering I have a roof over my head and a family who cares about me I would say I have a lot to be grateful for. I have access to some very amazing opportunities, such as the internship I participated in this summer. Interning at Earthscope Media has been very enjoyable. I really enjoyed learning how to edit audio, and having to do all the research was really eye opening. In the career management class this summer I appreciate that we can walk away from it with a really good start on a resume and other skills that will help us with future careers. I think that if I did not involve myself in this experience this summer, I would have spent more time goofing off. I'm happy that I didn't spend my summer doing nothing and instead put myself in a new and exiting experience which I gained a lot of knowledge from.

I didn't learn a lot of new information about myself since I already knew most of the basic strengths and weaknesses that I posses. It was interesting to write about myself over Waybook, since I don't usually talk about my strengths and successes. In the career management class I learned a lot of how to network myself so that I can set myself up for a better and more successful future. I also learned how to use the new websites that were introduced to me, such as Blogger,and Waybook.

In my internship at Earthscope Media I learned and developed on my communication skills. I think that people interaction skills are some of the most important skills for everyone to have, so I found myself really enjoying doing the interviews. I also think it was rewarding to do all the research that we did since it taught me a lot about the environment I was not aware of. Overall I think that the internship and career management class gave me a great experience that helped me grow as a person and gave me many skills that I can use in the future looking for jobs or other internships.
