I developed a new appreciation for high school due to the fact that it is almost over I will probably miss a few friends and the feeling of high school but I am also glad its over
They are all the hard workers and I would like to enstil that in myself My people skills were already pretty good and they got that much better I am a little extra motivated now since the VP has always given us a speech about hard work and she is close friends with my mom so she checks on me occasionally and I feel like externship can only have a positive effect on my future

For this externship my work was measured by the efficiency of the work, if the tasks we were given was done correct and in a timely fashion and last but not least if the employee we helped was satisfied with what we did
We were making meaningful contributions from the beginning due to the fact that we were fixing peoples computers and stuff that they need to do their work and it helps because It helps me get familiar with computers and and other tech which is something I will be using a lot of in the future. We didn't really have a final product but mainly a bunch of tasks to do involving different things My mentor was In the military and that is where he got most of his tech skills at but he has a long backround in technology, and I have learned that he is a pretty hard working guy because we have been told stories of how the Vp and others have had to make him go home basically.
This was one of our tasks where we changed the set up from a regular desk to a stand up/regular desk because I have no Idea why but a lot of the people here like to stand up while they are working.
To tell the truth I really have not had the need to advocate for myself at all because its not like I am being treated bad or dont agree with anything because everybody here is cool and they actually enjoy are help/company.
It has been pretty easy to manage my time and every task that I have been given has been completed way ahead of time. I am glad that this is the Externship that I picked because I think the is the the perfect way to end high school because I am working in such a chill enviroment and the workload is perfect. I have the perfect amount of time to complete every tasks that I am given.
I can connect my externship because it is pretty hands on and we arent just being talked at. Instead of showing us how to do everything Rick kind of just guides us and lets us figure some things out on our own. The skills I am developing right now are my computer skills.
Best visit time : Either monday or tuesday from 9 to 1 The thing that strikes me the most about my workplace are the people in here and how nice the space is. The main thing I like about my peers is how cool they all are and they are more than willing to help and very talkative. The thing that strikes me the most about what i am doing is the fact that I am able to do it because I never thought I would be able to work with computers that well.
I am excited to get a break from school again, not really nervous about anything. My mentor is Rick Gierke and he is the IT guy at Retail Opportunity Investment Corps.
