Some skills that I have include communication, grouping ideas, and creating a safe space. I believe that these skills were reinforced during this zine project so I am able to freshly write about them. I believe that communication is one of the most important things to keep in mind while in a real world experience. Holding communication with my mentor and co-workers will be what makes or breaks this internship experience. I believe that communication will allow for my mentor to see the progress that I’m making and also teaching me what I can learn from my mistakes. Creating a safe space for myself will be something I really have to focus on because I will have to make sure I feel comfortable enough to share ideas and make mistakes. Grouping ideas will be really important when it comes to my internship project because I will need to get a hold of good ideas and find a way to include them in 1 big project. One skill I would like to work on is keeping my personal issues away from the work I am trying to get done during internships. During first semester it was something I really struggled with but also something I worked hard on during second semester. I want to work on this because it will allow me to get practice for future classes or internships and I believe it will give me a specific time and place to work and another place to let go of personal issues. Although I don’t know my final internship site just yet, I want to work on something that leads to my career choice which is graphic design. My ideal project would be getting to work on a design that could hopefully impact either my internship site or our school.

In my future, I see myself following a creative path close to my friends and in guidance from my family. My family has a history in the interest of art so I believe they will have creative advise. One of the careers I’ve been deeply interested in is graphic design. I believe following a career where I’m able to express myself creatively, I will not only have a job that supports me but a gateway to creativity. I see myself going to a four year college where I want to major in graphic design and minor in marketing. My big dream, as it is for many, is to support myself financially and emotionally. I believe my greatest goal in life is to be happy which, for me, is often backed up by conducting creative projects and a lot of traveling. The bigger dream around this would be to own my own business in whatever I find my passion to revolve around. I think there is always something to better yourself in, for me that would be devoting my time and passion completely to one area of focus. I often find myself not completing tasks, whether it be academic or personal, because I fail to keep a connection the whole way through. I believe looking deeper into each task to find a personal connection will allow me to complete each project. Heading into internships I feel nervous because we only have around two weeks left and I still don’t have one confirmed. The reason being is that I wanted to find an internship on my own without any connection to the school, which obviously hasn’t worked out. I am positive I will get one soon but it is still a little nerve wracking to get so close to the date and still not have somewhere to go. |
