Midpoint Reflection


The internship has been different from my expectations because I thought that there was going to be more interactions with other people but I was wrong. Something similar between my internship environment and IHSL's school is that there's people from different countries. One thing that is different is that the people in Yele are more professional than the student in IHSL. During my internship, I've learned how to be a better typist. I've also learn how to speak up and i also improve in my networking skills. My co-workers and Me work pretty well together, and my mentor is really nice and she's really to help me learn something good from it. I have really grown wit interacting with adult because now i feel pretty comfortable talking to adult. I also feel pretty comfortable asking adult questions.
