Reflection: I was on a mission trip with the church this week, called AOSP. We are put in teams of about 12 people, all high schoolers and we go to a site and do repairs on peoples homes to make them safer, warmer, and drier. It is such a rewarding experience. For this reason I was not in the office this week. My duties have changed since I've first started this internship, because it went from having two big projects that I'm working on, being the database cleanup and website re-design, to more tasks that are needed at the moment by people in the office. Although those are still my two main projects that I do most of my work on, sometimes there are "odd jobs" and errands to be ran. Sometimes, there are also things coming up and are unfinished that we can finish and take the weight off these workers shoulders. For example, we are sending out welcome kits to the rising sixth graders who are going to be joining youth. I had the responsibility of making those and putting them together, with their correct T-shirt size, and focus on other details. So, yes I have been given more responsibility, as I also helped prepare big things for AOSP, that all the youth would be using It feels good to have more responsibility as this internship continues, and I love all the work I'm doing, and value it very much!
