First ImpressionsI had a really great first day! I had a fun time getting to know the staff, they're very friendly and welcoming. I was really surprised about how passionate they are about making their work space inviting and a place where the youth feels comfortable. I also didn't know that I would be working along side two other interns. I met a woman named Lisa who I will be working one on one a lot during my time there. She is extremely nice and a comfortable person to be around.
I am super super excited to get assigned my project because my mentors (Amanda, and Lisa) had some pretty good ideas. Also! They are having an event on Thursday May 14th and Friday May 15, called Take Back the Alley. The are going to be upgrading their courtyard space and an alley way near by to make the area much nicer, and artistic. I am very excited to help with that project and get some good pictures for the blog. That's all for today! Until next time, this is Alyssa signing off from the Digital Gym internship. I am going to be interning at the organization Digital Gym. They are a organization that reaches out to the community to learn about media!
I was really excited to reach out to this work place because it was exactly what I was looking for. I have been in contact with a woman named Amanda, who will be my mentor for the month. I will be working with producers that run workshops and helping with administration tasks. I am a little nervous to figure out what my project will be and what I will be working on because I don't want to take on too much or too little. I'm really confident that I will get a lot out of this experience. Also come a little close to finding out if it media and film is something I want to pursue in my future. I am nervous about pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I'm trying to overcome my awkwardness. Hopefully I can be more comfortable with talking to unfamiliar people after this experience. |
