Four weeks into internship
My internship name is Yele Haiti. My company help the people in Haiti. Because of the disaster that recently happened in Haiti, they're focused on the earthquake relief. At my internship, i answer the different emails that people send, i make copies sometimes. Sometimes they send me to different places to pick up different stuff. Every day, i leave school around 11:40 to go take the train to go to Yele Haiti. It takes me about 1 hour to get to my internship. I work from 1 to 5 from Monday to Thursday. When i leave my internship at 5, I get home around 7:00. My mentor (Nathalie)sign my time card for me every day, and when she's not here Lexy sign it for me. My internship site is located in the Rockefeller center. Three qualities that i have noticed about my mentor (Nathalie) in the last four weeks are that she's funny, she knows how to handle difficult situations in a good way and she's caring. One memorable moment I have of my first three weeks is meeting Wyclef Jean almost every day. One thing that I really enjoy about my internship is the food, because they buy different kind of food for me every day. So far, I haven't really have any challenge yet at Yele.

First Two Weeks
□ Describe your mentor and the environment in the office you’re working.
In my internship at Yele Haiti, everybody is nice with each other. There's no discrimination between us and we treat each other with respect. My mentor's name is Nathalie and she's a very nice girl. She takes her time to explain me what to do and if I don't understand she explains it again. She's very patient.
□ Describe your first day, from the first minute you arrived to the minute you left.
In my first day at Yele, I was somehow excited and scared at the same time. I was excited to meet new people and work with new people. I was also scared because I had no idea about what I was going to do.
□ What are your goals for internship? What knowledge do you hope to gain? What skills do you hope to gain?
My goals for internship is to learn as much as I can. I also would like to develop my networking skills by talking with the people who work there and the other volunteers.
