Finishing Strong and My Three Goals to Accomplish

     My internship so far has been going good, and I plan on finishing strong in the best way possible. I have meet many new people, and have made some awesome friends, but now it's time to put the nail in the coffin. When I first started, I did not know how to set up equipment, but with time I have gradually learned, and improved myself. With that in mind, I want to continue to impress my bosses as much as possible. I know by the time I finish, I will have some very important people in my contacts list for future employment and potential networking opportunities. For me, it's about getting better everyday and learning new things. My internship so far has been an amazing experience, and I know I am lucky because not everyone gets to experience what I am experiencing. As a matter of fact, I am probably the first student from Holy Family to do an internship at XTU and Wired. In a way I am opening the doors for other students at Holy Family to intern at XTU and Wired in the future.

      Finishing strong is going to be very challenging because now things are going to get hectic. When I first started, we did not have many events, but now we will have plenty, especially with ticket run season approaching. Just the other day, we did simulation practice in the parking lot of how to set up a tent, and to take winner information down. It was difficult to grasp at once, but hopefully I can get the hang of it. It was actually pretty cool to see how they ran things, and in all honesty I can't wait to in the field with my street teamers doing ticket run events. In a way I feel overwhelmed, especially with going to school full time, and also working a part-time job. Now is also the times where I have to complete my final comps, and do many projects before the semester comes to an end. It's going to be a rough stretch but I just have to find a way to get through it all.

     So far, I have showed up on time on my promo hours and my events. I try to keep a cool head with everyone there because when I graduate, I want to be able to keep my contacts with these important people in case if a job was to open up. I feel that if I keep my head down, be humble, and do as I am told, then I should not have a problem with anybody, and It may lead to my bosses liking me more. That is the way I plan on finishing strong. Keep my head down, and do exactly what my bosses want me to do. I will try to complete every task they have for me in the best and most impressive way. I want to blow them away and show them that I am the real deal. I am hoping that this attitude can lead me to a better and successful future.

    So my three goals that I plan to accomplish before my internship is over:
     
      1. To network with as many people as possible. I want to keep a cool relationship with everyone including my fellow interns. I already know all of my street teamers, and they have shared their personal stories with me of where they went to school, and how they got a job in radio.

     2. Be humble and complete every task to perfection. This is tough but I am going to try my very best to make everyone happy. I am improving everyday that I am there, and I think I am on the right track. If people can see that I am good worker, then they will take notice and maybe offer me recommendations and possible job openings after I graduate.

    3. Finding a job! That for me is the most important goal of all. Thanks to XTU and Wired, I was able to learn about a summer program up in Bloomsburg that deals with every aspect of broadcasting, specifically sports. I applied, and was officially accepted. Maybe I may not get a job at XTU/Wired, but if I play my cards right at the summer program, my chances of getting job will be that much greater. I know that I still need to work hard and continue to improve, which is why I am giving full 100% effort until my internship is over.
