A day in my life at work

Every day I go to work at 12:45 or so. My first task is to make sure that the fridge is full of water and to take the trash out. I then find out what my task is for the day, sometimes I go out to job sites and drop materials off, other days I go out to job sites and work on whatever needs to be worked on. Some days I paint in the shop, it all depends on what is going on that day. On the days that I work full days, I go in at 7:15 in the morning and am on a job throughout the day until 4:30.

How does this senior internship help me?

This internship helps me learn basic construction skills while also learning basic job skills at a younger age, helping me to build a resume. This class has helped me create realistic goals for my life and helped me find a plan and career in which I can acheive these goals. This internship also gives me 3 credit hours while also giving me the ability to leave school early and make money.

How is this course different from other classes?

This course is different from other classes at the high school because it gives you a chance in the real world to go and explore which career areas you may be interested in. I was able to find myself interested in the construction field, which has led me to get a head start in life.
