How does this class help me? 

This class helped me in many ways including how to handle myself in the workplace. These last 3 months under the workplace class have led to different opportunities for me to be able to be a better teammate, a better classmate and a better peer.  We have learned a lot in these last couple of months and I've been able to take away how to be more accountable, more professional and devise a plan for my future. My growth mindset goal is to be able to buy a newer truck by the time I graduate and for me to find a home or a career at any company that's willing to hire me. 

What does my internship look like? 

A day in my job Consists of many different tasks such as helping customers with their purchases and transactions, helping people who need to turn in UPS packages into our database, handling the register money and other various closing tasks. On Fridays and every other Saturday my tasks look a little different, on Fridays it is truck day so I unload a semi truck with 100 totes worth of product in them and unload them inside of the store. On Saturdays we have sales tags to go out so me and one other coworker complete 750 tags in a couple of hours on bi-weekly saturdays. 

How is a senior internship helping me? How is this Course different from other classes? 

The senior internship is helping me very much to be better accrued To a full-time job schedule than most others would be. It has given me a resource to refine my interviewing skills and overall make me a better worker. This course is different in many ways including on the job training the liberty to leave school a little early and make a little bit of money.
