Well i never thought i would be working in a office with a lot important things, files and important information about a lot different people is just amazing the way we work because you get to know a lot of experiences. There are a lot of different things in my intership compare with the enviorement of the school, such as in the school there are too many students from diffent nationalities and in the intership everybody is always quiet nobody is playing around like in the school in the intership also there are less people than the school. There are too many diffetent skills that i already learned in my intership like how to talk to people in properly way and also how to work in a businnes's office and another important thing ive learned is how to work in team and how to be more responsible when you really have a job, there are also some similar things in the school and in the intership such as in both places you have to work hard, be respectful, and also be really responsible in the way of working and also getting on time.Some challenges that ive faced in my intership are like how to do my work properly depends and what they assingment me and also doing the same job that my mentor and almost everyone do in there is just very nice because you are having the same experiences that they have in their all period of work, but ive overcame them working hard and also paying attention to everything they tell me to do thats how ive been learning all my assingments, well i have big goal to acomplish in my intership and this goal is to work there in the future because i thing is a good job and also very important. Well something i learned about New York city in that is a city of big business and a lot such hard workers .
