Internship Final Reflection

Think back to the beginning of the internship. what were your goals ? did you achieve these goals? if so, if so, what did you have to do consistently to achieve the goals? 

well first able at beginning of the internship in my case I worked in the hospital so I must to talk with my supervisor what department of the hospital I'll would like to work I choice at Physical Therapist department and before start my internship I visualize myself working like a assistance ad follow the Physical therapist and learn all the thing I can and give the best of me and I was lucky because this was all I wanted to do I assisted two physical and for me was a really good experience work with my supervisors and worked with patient directly .

What are the most important ideas or skills you've learned in the last 10 weeks? 

Working at the hospital was a good experience see how is important to determinate what do you want to do for the future and make a good decision if you like help people. the important skills I learned during was be compassion and give my services to help others, be patient really patient, have a strong personalty and control yourself and be amiable this important skill could help to be a doctor in the future.

What having a relationship with a professional employee such as your supervisor/mentor meant to your personal development ? how have you grown a student and /or young adult in this relatively new country ?


at the beginning of my internship my first day was horrible but when I started work with my two supervisor was really cool because he from Haiti and he really understand my position now, be a immigrant and started a new life is difficult so he was really patient with me and at first day I meet with my supervisor I already let him know what way I would like to work and he said me he will give the best internship I never had at my first time to intern in the hospital so I was  really lucky work with these supervisors my relationship with them was very respectful and friendly not only with my supervisor with everybody in every floor of the hospital because my supervisors want to make me feel part of the team so they introduce me with the doctors, nurses, patients, employers who working  transportation everybody was nice work with them.

What were the highlights memorable moments of your internship experience ? 


my highlights hospital memorable moments in the hospital was one day when my supervisor and I evaluate a patient who come from Cuba and her legs was impute and she were two moths in the bed was really sad, so her family want to this women her name is Mercedes and want to was feel the wheelchair and Mercedes was crying and happy because she move of the bed so I felt  good to help this woman to try move of the bed but I felt glad to help Mercedes feel good .

What are your thoughts about jobs, carriers, or the professional world in general as a result of having spend 125  hours working in it ? 


well this experience was really a good example about how people get success though go to college is really hard to create expatiation and have goals is really hard to complete those things but the strong is the people who go toward in the life and the life outside is really hard how many things you need to do to get the jobs is really complicated but was a really good experience to see how the life look like when you finish high school.

After high school, what do you want to pursue  for a carrier? are you more or less interested in college as as result of your internship ?

yes I would like get more experience and explorer new things before make a decision its good because you must to think carefully what do you want become for the future so this internship was like a mirror for me had this opportunity to see how is college so important to people who want to get a better future.

What were your biggest challenges to overcome and how did you handle those challenges?

My challenges during my internship was sent me to another floor and looking for papers or stuff like that move around was really hard because this hospital its a huge hospital so don't lost myself inside  the hospital was really challenge and another I had was follow the instructions during patient evaluation was really hard the first days but at the end I learned used the physical therapist tools and all the time I ask to my supervisor questions and also ask for feedback to get during my internship this way help me to handle my challenges.

If you were to start a brand  new internship next week, what are least two things you would do differently ?   


Well if I bring a new intern to the hospital I must to make sure if that person want to work in the hospital and make sure also what thing him or her want to work during their internship and let know this new intern what types of responsibilities this internship will be have so that important explain more clear possible .

Think of two three pieces of advice you could offer a new intern at your site ? 

for all the student who want to intern in a hospital my advice is be responsible and respectful with the others employers it the most important thing, be on time and show the people you're interesting to learn and appreciated this opportunity ,another advice is think careful what do you like to do and try get a  internship help you more have  ideas and explorer about your future.  



What will you miss about your internship 


I will miss my supervisors who help me to build more my human capital and I will the cafeteria who I had  the opportunity to known another Colombian woman who motivated me to go toward during my internship, she give advice and push  me take advantages of this opportunity I had I will miss all of them everybody .
