Polishing a Dimond.

Internship readiness to me it means to be able to adapt to a new environment relatively fast, and also demonstrating to be able to perform and deliver high quality work. After being introduced to the professionalism concept, I believe that internship readiness is bringing brightness thoughts to the work place. Some of the qualities of a great intern are pretty basic stay on time, well organized, high performance, inquisitive and eager to learn but the most important to me will be self motivated. Through my Year Up experience I acquired many skills that help me become a better student as well as a better person.  I believe that I am not fully prepare for my internship, however I accept and welcomed the challenge, I want to be able to polish my thoughts as well as my writing skills. In this last module I am ready to give my all and demonstrate and let others who I am.

The pearly tears.

The pearly tears.

I cried, and cried the first thing I learned to do was to cry. Crying is the first thing a baby learns to do, it is survival he or she must learn how to cry to communicate and try to express want he wants , crying it is also the first job you probably had. Crying is simple, natural, invasive, but that doesn’t mean that crying is not a job, many of our job titles come that way, we not even notice that the things we do are important jobs, maybe my definition of work can be quite allusive. During our life time we gain different job titles I am a daughter, a mother, a friend, a sister, a waitress but the most important job is being a student,’’ a learner’’. My first job after high school was to sell vacuums door to door, the job description is harder than it sounds I knew that I was not going to succeed in a job like that, but I decided to try it. The first couple of days I was ready to quit, I wanted so bad to go home and forget about having to walk whole neighborhoods knocking door to door, smiling and pretending that I was happy, trying to peruse home owners to buy a 2500 dollars vacuum ,which I knew it was almost impossible to sell due to the economy, however I did not quit the job. I kept attending the meetings that they offered, I wanted to learn, I learned that sells persons try or pretend to be happy most of the time, sells persons literary brainwash people and even analyze their costumers, in order to come with the bestselling strategy. I wanted to be like that I wanted to become like that, so I try to learn and take advantage of the opportunity that was given to me there to learn and be happy regardless of the situation. I literally learn that when one door closes other might open and is not worth it to get stock on that door. My second job was at a restaurant ,the manager in there was the worse bipolar person I ever met, she made me clean every single dirty spot in the restaurant, and working with her was like being directed under an army officer the stress and the expectation for me where greater than what I expected. I hate my manager, but after I got fired I realize that she only wanted me to do my best and pushed me to be best performer , at the end of my experience there I was offered a manager position and I thanked  my manager for being so tough on me because she helped me bring the best in me. My third job, was working overnight delivering newspapers. They paid me 459 dollar biweekly for throwing 800 newspapers per night, It is been the most challenging and the most demanding job I ever had, not only I had to learn all the addresses of the clients but also I had to be aware that no matter the conditions of the weather, I had to be able to delivered their newspapers daily. It was so frustrated to me when I had complains of persons, many times I asked myself  if they thought about how difficult was to do the job being a young woman in the middle of the night with freezing temperatures or raining  driving alone. I hold that job for almost six months until I decided to leave it. Working in there did not make me richer, but it made me stronger I never thought that I could be so reliable and so responsible at the point of sacrificing myself so that others can enjoy their lecture every morning. From all my work experiences I learned something that build  up my character and shape my personality. I cried many times I felt discourage, but I thank and appreciate every single learning opportunity given to me. From every single mistake I had in my previous jobs I  dropped precious  tears, but behind all of them there is a beautiful learning experience, so my favorite job ever is to learn from my mistakes , and all I want is to keep learning.
