2. "Your major that you choose has absolutely NO bearing on what your career will be." This piece of advice was important for me and stood out because it gave me comfort that the major that I first choose will most likely not be the career I will go into and that from there on I will be locked into that field for the rest of my life.
"I was dead-set on becoming a sports news reporter, but then one thing lead to another and now here I am with a career in advertising and marketing and probably just as happy if not more happy with where I am at today in my career." This quote is important to me for the same reasons that the first quote is important to me, but it also gives me a new perspective going into college and the rest of my life that it is important to keep an open mind when it comes to my career choice.
"My job gives me enjoyment out of it so I don't ever feel like I am even working when I am getting work done at home." This statement from my mentor is now my goal for my life and career. It just sounds like such a nice situation and I would like to either apply it to my life starting and continuing on from right away or to simply work towards this situation in hopes that I could achieve it at one point in my life.
6. So far I am thankful for a lot of things that I have gained from this internship experience. I am most thankful for the Independence I have developed as a result of my internship. Throughout this internship I have had to keep track of everything that I have had to get done and hold myself to actually getting it all done and I have also had to time manage my own time in order to complete everything I have needed to complete on time. I have also had to hold myself to waking up on time and getting ready to go and leaving my house at the right time so that I show up to work on time. In a more abstract way of looking at my internship experience, it has also allowed me to become more familiar with getting around and know where things are in San Diego because of all the driving I have had to do on my own to many different places.This internship has been and will hopefully continue to be one constant learning experience for me.
