Stories: Top 10 Internship Moments

Well it goes a little like this: A Crazy Summer for an Internship!!  :)

Top 10 internship moments-

  1. My very crazy schedule that I had to deal with:
    *From having a job, coaching two weeks of overnight soccer camps and four weeks of day camps, five weddings, taking a may term class, preparing for soccer season, SALT retreat, family vacation, family member passing away, and finally trying to find time to relax and be with friends.
  2. My laptop crashing during my May term class. I had to give my final presentation and it was wiped out after hours spending on it. Having a good chunk of my internship work on it also. The journal that I had about seven-eight pages of work done. Luckily I was able to recover it all after having to get a new hard drive. What a Blessing!
  3. Being able to hear from organizations that came to our two distribution days. Being able to hear some really amazing stories about their organization or how this was the best thing that anyone has ever done to help people. Especially during these economic crises we are in.
  4. Being able to work with Ted and listen to and hear his views on different things besides myself. The man has such great advice for me.
  5. Being able to get firsthand experience on leading different opportunities without Ted being with me. I was able to do the distribution day, a 5-star day, and speak and get the bins ready to go at Holy Family, Bethany Christian, and John Young schools.
  6. Learned more of a proper way to speak when dealing with age groups. I dealt with middle school kids and then adults
  7. I was able to understand more on expenses and how they become a huge part when you are starting out an organization or business. We were fortunate to have big things donated to us this year.
  8. Gained-
    *An experience on communicating with many different area schools, organizations, and news casters.
    *A good perspective on the marketing side of greenLockers.

             Learned-
             *How to make all different types of excel spreadsheets, word documents, and blog posts.
             *How to design map layouts of the warehouse for distribution day
             *How to make a media alert and newsletter
             *How to take the role of managing and being in charge of an organization/company. This is a good way to understand how much time is put into things.

      9.   Being able to allow God to work through me and give me the strength and ability to finish the work when at times I was stressed out with so much to do outside of this internship.

    10.   Having all of my internship work all over the house and my mom always trying to tell me to pick it up and put it in my room. I think I had internship work in almost every room in my house.
