Midpoint Reflection Questions!!!!

How has the internship been the same as and/or different than your expectations?
- My internship went way different path as i though it would be in the begging. It's awsome to come there then. I got used to it and learned a lot new things. I also enjoy being around a whole smart, cool and nice crew of therapists and nurses. They all turned out to be very fun people.


What is similar and different about the culture of the school environment versus the workplace environment? What new skills have you learned that apply to the workplace?
- In my personal opinion there is nothing in common about school environment & my internship site environment. For example in school you can just come in and do nothing and noone can care less. On th other hand at my workplace you cant just relax and do nothing, you always have to stay bussy and provide help to therapist and patients because they are always in need of your attendence. I learned to communiate with different kind of people, like different personalities. Learned to be more organized and some specific OT daily performances.


What kind of relationship do you have with your mentor and co-workers? How have you grown as a result of interacting with professional adults?
- I have a very good relationship with both my mentor and co-workers. At first i wasn't so open to them, but then they showed me around and guided through everything i needed to know. I think interecting with proffessional adults had helped me grow more in making myself comfortable with new people and what's really out there in real everyday working industry.


What challenges at the internship have you faced that you have overcome and how did you overcome them?
- The biggest chalenge i faced at my internship is actually getting to like the department i was placed in. It was easy for me to overcome it after i found out that there is no chance i can change my internship & if i dont attend it i will fail and not graduate. These two things made me chnage my mind and made me think how important it's for me.

What challenges have you faced in school as a result of the altered schedule and how are you handling them?
- One challenge i faced in school as a result of the altered schedule is not having enough time for my h.w, not because i'm lazy but because h.w and projects had increased it's level like it never been before. This way i think i kind of went down in some classes during this semester. But for the past two weeks i tried to catch up on anything i was missing, plus asked for some extra credit for additional claasses.

What goals are you working to accomplish during the remainder of the internship?
- My only goal is to get some more experince and getting a good feedback from my supervisors and mentor.


What new things have you learned about New York City?
- NYC is full of opportunities. You can have whatever dream job you want as long as you stay close to achieving your goals!
