Final Check-in!
Thursday is going to be very busy. In light of this, we will be doing the final Check-in virtually. Please address the below in your response. Thanks.?
1) What did you learn from your internship?
2) What skills did you get from your internship experiences?
3) What did you learn about yourself during internship? And about society?
4) How will you apply some of the values we learned?
This has certainly been a challenging journey but one which I learned plenty out of. I can definitely say I have a greater understanding of how a non-profit runs than I did coming in during my first week. I picked up on some new skills such as creating labels while I enhanced and worked on skills I already possess. Most importantly, it has helped me to be able to better communicate with people from different walks of life and be more understanding. I have learned so many things throughout this internship program, some of which are how to get tasks done efficiently while not having access to certain resources in order for me to get the tasks done. From a society perspective, I learned that not everyone is blessed with things like some of us are, it is important to understand where they are coming from and that¡¯s how we can better assist them. The two most important values I picked up on were compassion and selflessness. It essential to me compassionate when dealing with those less fortunate than me because most of these people don¡¯t really get that compassion or have never really been exposed to it in their lives. They¡¯ve had to endure a difficult life and the least I can offer is empathy and compassion. Selflessness because in order for me to be of assistance to those in need, it requires me to work for the greater good. Not for myself and not for anyone else, but for the people and the community.?
