my internship is going very well. I am properly using all work readiness skills in an effective and timely manner and being organize. I am willing to do all the task assigned to me and I strive to complete them diligently.
But i sometimes lack motivation to finish them before the day its due. its something i need to work on.
I thought that I was very professional, as I arrived on time, completed my assigned work ahead of schedule, and acted in a responsible manner. I might of once arrive a couple min later, but it seems fine and understandable, but i will try to come on time or even earlier. I can work on communicating more effectively because I am sometimes shy on speaking up and don't like to bother people with little things and when it comes to meeting new people. Also, i dont think id am not outgoing when it a majority of girls and they mostly talk about girl things.

Week 5
I am grateful for a very supportive family, friends who care about me, and the opportunity to do whatever I want in the future. I am grateful for not only the opportunity to do what I would like to in the future, but all my options as well. I learned a lot about my options this year in my internship where I also made a lot of friends. I am very excited for the future and I am looking forward to it. I just know that I'll take advantage of all the opportunities I have and make the most out of them.

What im grateful for, is that i was busy this summer than other summers with an awsome internship. In other summers i just relax and had more free time. It was a great experience and it felt like i was not on summer, in a good way. In my internship im grateful that i learned new experiences i thought i would never want to learn like phone interview, blogging, and creating radio stories. I had no idea how this internship would turn out. Journalism wasnt one of my options when deciding internship but it was a good learning experience and i hope for the future that i'd be willing to try new internship to knowledge myself with a career option. Lastly im grateful taking this summer career class to further my understanding on my future.

This summer, I am grateful for many things. The internship I have enrolled in has been incredibly useful, as I have learned an incredible amount of things. I had no prior experience in any forms of reporting and journalism. Just after these six weeks I feel incredibly confident with these skills, and these skills are incredibly useful with practically any career choice. Without this internship I would be many steps behind others who are entering the workforce. Also, I am grateful for the career class I have been taking for six weeks. Like the internship, I have not had a lot of experience with this type of stuff. I have not been truly employed by a company for a standard wage. This class has made me more comfortable about entering the work force. There were things I had no idea even existed, like cover letters, or pay stubs. This class has also opened my eyes and has prepared me to start thinking about my career choices, which only lay 5 to 10 years from now. By taking this class, it becomes clear that my future is not far away, and the sooner I plan, the better. I am grateful for the head start that both my internship, and this class has provided me into the workforce.
What I'm Grateful For
I'm thrilled that I was given the opportunity to have an internship at KWMR community radio, and I've learned a great deal about broadcasting and music in my time spent working on the Youth DJ Project. I can't express how thankful I am to have been given the opportunity to have my own time slot on air, which allowed me to spread the music I love throughout the county and hopefully open the eyes of listeners to some unique genres. At my internship, I learned that diligence is the most valuable work trait of all, as the ability to work to one's fullest potential will always create the best possible radio station. I'm thankful for the career management class because it not only taught me how to act professional in a workplace environment, but it also taught me about who I am as a person. The many personality tests on genius.way.me that I took were all incredibly accurate, and I liked how they didn't only focus on praising me for my strengths, but also on exposing my weaknesses in hopes of future improvement. I'm so thankful for being able to have been a part of both my internship and the career management class, and this has certainly been the most educational summer I've ever had.
What I'm Grateful For
I'm grateful for the opportunity to have such an amazing internship this summer. In particular, I am grateful that I was able to learn how to create a radio story, as I think that this is a valuable skill I will be able to apply to my future career as a journalist. I also just really enjoyed the gratification of being able to listen to my radio story and know that I put so much hard work and effort into it, and that it sounds really professional because of that.
In terms of the class, I'm grateful that I learned practical career skills such as how to create a resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn. No one really teaches you those skills if you don't take a class like this, and it will put me at an advantage to already have knowledge of these things when I'm applying to jobs.

Blog #4 (make-up work, I was on vacation that week)
- The total of my future expenses each year are $41,712. I know this is logical because my primary sources for information are Zillow, and then the websites of the various services I'm paying for (Verizon, Xfinity, etc).
- According to the United States Bureau of Labor I can likely count on making $54, 820 each year in my future job as a journalist in New York City. My education/training to get that job will cost between $150,000 and $300,000 total for all four years of Undergrad education.
- I want to save $5,000 for my rainy day fund each year, and $10,000 for retirement each year. If I save $10,000 for retirement each year, by the time I am 65 years old I will have $400,000 plus interest.
- Comparing my future income and expenses makes me think that I am going to have to be very frugal, and possibly share an apartment if I plan to live in New York City. I also will need to consider living outside of Manhattan, such as in Queens or Brooklyn, as they can be much more affordable. I will need to also cut down on other expenses such as food expenses, and make sure I am shopping at affordable grocery stores and not going out to eat very often.
