Well first I have switched Internships, I ended up not getting a approval from the corporate manager at St. Paul's Programming on time, so I was placed at Border View Family YMCA in San Ysidro, which is fine with me and seems like it will be fun as well. What amazed me the most about Border View Family YMCA is that they're the smallest branch and the building is still huge! My colleagues all seem super happy and energetic and excited to work with the interns and it. It's gonna be nice to get to know them better throughout this next month. Something that strikes me about the internship I'm doing is that its very different from anything I would have ever picked or even thought of, but it seems like a good different. I'm excited to get started on projects and get into a different routine, I'm excited to get out of my comfort zone and have a nice change. I'm worried about doing things wrong, but then again I won't learn from mistakes if I do everything right, and there's always a bigger and better impact from learning from your mistakes.
Well what I'm almost set 100% on is at St. Paul’s Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). I'm just waiting for the approval which should come which come in within the next week or so. I'm pretty sure my mentor will be Irene Cabral.
I'm not sure on what I will exactly be doing so that's something I should look into these next couple of weeks. I'm really looking forward with working with elderly people, because I've worked with children, people my age and adults, but never with elderly so I interested in seeing how different it is, and learning new things from them, and hopefully learning new things about myself. I'm nervous about the first day but I'm more excited about it, and I'm really nervous about the waiting process on the approval, because if they say no I don't have any other options at the moment. |
