4. The reason I pursued the internship I now have at a marketing firm was because Marketing was a profession that I was seriously considering going into. My mentor is the Account Supervisor at MeadsDurket and while part of her job I would enjoy, not love but, I would enjoy, but then the fact that her job as well as everyone else around hers jobs are "desks jobs" where they sit at a desk and work all day is highly displeasing. My internship also required that I function in a "desk job" and that is where I base my newly-found hate for desk jobs. I am now glad that I had this internship because I have decided that I would not lead a very happy life if I had a desk job. Since the majority of the employees that work at MeadsDurket I have also some-what eliminated marketing as potential employment for when I am older.



5. I have always had a hard time remembering and keeping track of minor details and assignments that I have to complete which caused me to be a bit concerned about starting my internship. However, once I got here, I have surprised myself on how I have been able to stay on top of all my work that has to be accomplished and I have made all of my deadlines. I have been able to use many different tactics such as using sticky notes, clipping important information papers up around my desk, using my planner, and continuously keeping my desk/area completely clean and organized. So far, this experience as a whole has given me a large amount of confidence about how I will be able to continue to lead my life in the real world after high school.
