Help complete Summer Games Booklets

Last week, my supervisor gave me a very important assignment which no intern should be doing. The assignment was editing and making sure that all sponsors were listed in the new Native American and Summer Games booklet. The booklet needs to be edited and reviewed before the final draft goes to the printing company. Once the printing company has the final draft, the printing company will print so many copies and send the copies to the agency. My supervisor told me that I will be in charge of the next review and editing session of the next booklet to come out. I feel that the supervisor has a lot of trust in me to complete these types of tasks. Now back to editing booklets!

Essays to be Read

In the past few weeks, I was invited to participate in the process of putting Essays into a database and evaluating the essays. The agency where I am doing my internship is having an Essay Contest sponsored by Southwest College. It promotes creativity through writing as an effective method for authors of ALL ages (grades K – 12 and adults ages 18 and older) to express their dreams and ideas for a successful life and a better community. The themes the authors have to write about are as follows; 1. Get Up! Get Active! Get Involved! Get Healthy! 2. If you were the President of the United States explain how you would practice peace and encourage strong citizenship in your quest to be a proud American as a World Leader. 3. The power of education! 4. Sit on the sidelines or get in the game? Explain why it is important to “Get in the Game” and be active in the fight against obesity. 5. “Draw the Line” by saying NO to alcohol and drugs. 6. “Character Counts.” Clarify how practicing one or more of the six pillars of character (Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship) makes you a better person.

That’s it for the week.

The Shift into my Internship

Once I completed my first two weeks of my Internship, I was very excited about what my agency has to offer me for the remainder of the semester.

I am working directly with the Vice President of Sports Operation, Gary. Gary has been developing my skills and helping me learn to coordinate the sporting events held on the weekends.

I remember the first day I started, I was handed a computer and was told to review the agency website and get familiar with the agency mission statement and vision statement. I was a little overwhelmed.

I, however am ready to gain the experience of my life!
