Blog #5 (makeup)

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.
