MIDPOINT REFLECTION

My internship expectations today have exceeded my first.
First of all before internship started I expected to work at the big office with a lot of workers doing same task every single day. However when I started internship I had a variety of tasks to choose from and I could concentrate on what interest me the most. The office environment have also satisfied my expectations because I am working at the small office with only 4-5 people and that greatly contributes to my working ability because I am not under pressure.
One useful skill I acquired from the internship is time management and that skill helped me to increase my working pace especially on computers.
My relationship with mentor and the co-workers is very good in both social and professional levels, all workers in the office always pay attention to me and available when I need their help.
I have also matured in professional levels as a result of adult interaction. Working with adults have increased my networking skills and adequate and I think those skills will be improving thorough out the rest of next internship semester.
One challenge I had at the begging is not understanding the given task because I tried not to ask to many questions and work independently, therefore I have failed to complete the task properly. Later I have learned that is very useful to ask for help from mentor and co-workers because that not only helps me to understand the given task but it also gives me time to start working on a new one.
