Some final thoughts on Project Search

Project Search graduation is in a little under 4 hours. Some parting reflections.

Last August when I started I really had no idea what to expect out of Project Search. One thing I was hoping for was to get an internship that would give me more public relations experience and that was really my only main disappointment overall. In general it was a great experience and I really gained a lot of new knowledge I had never had before. There were some days when I felt I had a lot of down time and I feel that there should be certain sites next year that shouldn't be options for internships. I wouldn't say there was no work to do but there were days where there could have been more work to do then there was. IT and Cardiac Rehab are examples of that. On the positive side when it comes to Cardiac Rehab I did learn a lot of stuff I didn't know before about heart attacks and heart falure and how they can both be prevented. I will touch a little more on this in the speech I am to give at gradaution tonight.

Our of the three internships I would say the Front Desk was my favorite one because of all the people interaction that I got and also how I learned my way around the hospital ... by the end
I was pretty much a pro. I enjoyed delivering the mail and the flower arrangements to the patients the best of all.

The first three weeks of my job at the YMCA has gone very well so far. I look very foward to incoporating the skills I learned from Project Search into my job at the Welcome Center.

Congrats to my fellow classmates and thanks to all my coworkers at my internship sites for all your help and guidance.
