Externship
Tuesday, May 9th
The first day at my externship was an Interesting experience. The first day my mentor and the other staff were just teaching me the lay of the land as well as configuring my hours. Pretty much what the do in the part of the medical center is recruit people who are known for having high blood pressure. We call the patients of the medical center and other medical centers and ask if they would like to be a part of our free program where they receive a free High Blood pressure cuff and information on how to manage their high blood pressure. Im scared about this because i usually don't like calling people I don't know and advertising to them because usually they say no. My workplace is fine and the staff here are fairly nice. it is really relaxed which I really like and I feel like these Three weeks are going to be fine

I feel like everything has gone well in my Externship. I have done some more intern things like filling and inputing data. I have really been trying to sit in with my mentor and watch him work one on one with the patients but I have to have concent by the patient and usually the don't consent. The internship is way different that school. School you have a to work all day, the internship is very relaxed and no one seems to be stressed out.

Externship has been going great so far. I feel like it has been a very educational experience and I now know a little more about life in he workplace. The tasks haven't been too hard because there isn't a lot I can do. This is just mostly gaining exposure about working in a medical center and creating connections. Yesterday we had a meeting for most of the day so we did not really have time to do many tasks. We talked about the status of the nations that are enrolled in our program and how much time they have until they are discharged.

I feel like self advocacy is huge part of the externship experience. Asking what to do or asking for help is a part of the learning experience that an externship helps to teach. I usually advocate for myself when I need help with something. For example, I won't just know how two do everything in the office. I need help learning the system and how it works. I have to input data in an online patient information site which is not easy. I usually have to ask one of the other volunteers to help me. The other volunteers are usually community college student so I have to have the confidence to ask them.
Projects for me have been fairly simple and if i need any help my office isn't afraid to lend me a helping hand. I have fun working at my office an the people are helpful and undersatding.

I have done a lot more work at this internship then my last internship , but I base the amount of work i have done on what I have learned throughout this process. This internship has mostly been a one where I sit, watch a learn about what other people do. I have done work but there is nothing physical that I can show. I helped with a lot of intern thing ant my internship. I helped input data and called patients. By doing this I developed interpersonal skills and I learned critical medical information. I believe that this was a great experience for me and it gave me a window into the medical field. This just gives me another option for my future. I feel like I ma ready for whatever happens after high school . I have seen what it is like I leave high school with a new light and new expectation.

Over this experience I feel like I have really appreciated what I have had in High school. We spend so much time wanting to be adults but aren't ready for the responsibility of being an adult. I have learned to appreciate my youth and my time in high school. I witnessed many personal skills being displayed in my office. The other volunteers and social works have developed very good interpersonal skills that I would like to adopt in the future. I feel like life beyond high school is going to be a different but interning experience. I fear for It but I think I am ready. Externship has influenced my life because now I know for sure I would like to focus my college career on business. I was thinking about medics but I feel like I would be more successful lass a business major. I feel like High Tech is prepping us for college and beyond because of our collaboration skills. Being able to work in a group is a key skill in the workforce and i now understand that.
