Best AspectsThe best aspect of this internship has been learning what it takes to plan and get things together for a camp. In the past summers I have work at camps and I have been a mentor simply following an agenda or task. This summer as an Intern for the WAVE Project I got the opportunity to help plan a camp. I was no longer a leader in activities but more of the one giving task and a floater. With this experience I have gain new skills such as planning, directing and more confidence. I have also strength other skill for example organization. I also have to mention that I have acquire many skills such as researching and computer skills which I was not strong in. This internship has thought me a lot and prepared me to take other roles with in OSU.

ChallengesThere where many challenges going into this internship. One of them was right at the beginning. I was not confident of my abilities and struggle to self motivate myself. After a while at WAVE and taking to my best friend, my boyfriend, I was able to get my confidence back up and realized how much I did know, this got me to regain confidence in what i was doing.
Another challenge was my computer skills and researching skills. These are one of my weak skills. I don't really find it interesting and therefore didn't really know how to navigate it. I was given the task of emerging labels and letters so I had to research how to do it, as well as how to use it then in Excel and Word. My supervisor told me to google "emerging labels to word" and that is what I did. I instantly got instructions and started to practice how to emerge them. I have to say that this experience thought me two things. 1. That to learn something and be good at it one needs to practice it and 2. That when it comes to research you want to use key words and keep it short. |
