Internship Final Reflection - Advertisement Assignment #4

My internship goals were not to get nervous during arguments, have good presentation skills, be a leader and get more into adult world. When I first worked, I was melting when the phone was ringing. I was afraid to pick up because somebody could ask me something I can't do it. I was nervous. I had no skills at presentation at all because simply I hated it. Presentation for me was taking shots. I just forced my self to like it because I hated it in the past. I was a kind of shy. I saw a friend of mine very interested in presentation and loved it as going to Disney Land. For me presentation was death. Also being a leader for me was a great headache and a pain in the butt. I didn't like to lead people. However, I found that the leader is more respected and I always wanted to be special. Being a leader and presentation skills is very related. Their success keys is to have an eye contact and give the audience your point however it looked like. Just don't get nervous or think they want to bother you. It is like somebody asking you for more information and he wants to get more from your experiance and skills.
In the last 12 weeks, I learnt that people don't act the same in work as they act in home. Every body in work have a different face. I grew a lot as a young adult as I knew how to be serious in cases I laughed out loud in before. The highlights is that the Russian speakers had a very Egyptian accent that every time I look around I think that a country mate behind me but then I knew it's not. I was so sad when I found a girl from Cairo has cancer in the hospital and the disease ruined her face and body. Her sister was like a greek goddess and I felt she felt jealous and broken that she is sick. Every time I arrived to the hosptial I checked her bed saying Good morning and I make jokes with her. Sometimes she was not able to replay just staring at the window but I knew that It made difference.
I knew how to defend myself more in talk language not with muscles. In professional world, there is no place for rudeness otherwise, you will be kicked out. If I am going to start next week my internship, I would be more serious in meeting the people I will be working with instead of making jokes. My advice for students interning in Coney Island hospital next year is that don't let somebody boss you badly and also don't hesitate fast. Just think well before you react and know that you won't be loved from everybody. One thing I will miss from my internship is my belarusian volunteer coworker who I adored her too much.
