Midpoint Reflection

My internship is different than my expectations as all I thought was giving shots to old people. The similar culture of Coney Island Hospital to IHSL is that people are kind, calm, friendly and try to help you as soon as possible. I have a pretty nice relationship with any person I work with. They are all like my older brothers and sisters. When I worked with professional adults, I learned how to remain calm because getting angry gets you no where. I communicate with people through the phone, and face to face and that made my English get improved. My friends are curious to make me get improved. They ask me to repeat the word but in the American accent when they hear me say it in a weird way. I learned the skill of being responsible, and doing the thing in a perfect way. When I had to fix some files, I have to do it right. Because I don't want anybody to come and say "Hey, Mohamed! why this one in the wrong place?". I get mad so fast so that time If anybody complained I had the right to defend myself, argue and be rude if it's needed. The challenge at internship was not to get nervous. Now, my mentor made me cold as ice now by assigning me on things that forces you to be calm. I am not facing too much pressure on time but it is not going like the past. I handled the change easily, I finish my internship at three then go to gym then go to my work. When I know certain day is going to be filled, I make the activities on another day. My goals in my internship is to improve my presentation skills, and meeting new people. There is a lot of things I learned about New York City especially Brooklyn. I learned that you could hide your identity and origin fast. You can't say that is Indian, and this is Chinese. BK is exactly the melting pot. I knew there is not any much racism because people here came from all over the world and there is no certain race that holds the control of everything.
