Internship

With my anticipation in advance of my placement, I ask myself:  Am I ready?

Do I know the material? Has Year-Up really set me up for success? I have been in the Year-Up program for 6 months doing numerous different things, and coming from the type of environment that I came from, this is new to me. I learned to image a computer, learn all the computer components, from its hardware to its software. Also, I have implemented in my learning how to be professionally sound in the corporate world. What I mean is, I have written professional email, and had to go back to the drawing board in re-learning grammar, particularly as is applies to a professional environment.  Me being me, I’ve thought grammatically I was on-point in that aspect of my life, but Year-Up has molded me into someone that can perform in a professional work space. In other words, I’m a better young man for this experience.  At this point, I believe that I have the confidence that given the opportunity, I could be successful in a work environment. When I do actually get my internship, and know my placement, I can say to myself,” Grandpa, I am one step-step closer to making you proud.”
