My classroom experiences helped me SO much for my internship. The classes that I felt were the most important were Multimedia and Webpage Design as well as E-Commerce.

Multimedia and Webpage Design

 This class (MAWD) taught me what was pleasing to the eye of the public. It allowed me to learn how to mix graphics and colors to discover what worked best for different types of target markets. I used these skills to pair colors and graphics that would allow the website I created to be effective and pleasing to the eye. I also used the skills I learned in Photoshop and Illustrator to aid in the creation a logo for the trip. Here is an attachment of the logo I helped to create.

E-Commerce

Although I did not use the HTML that I learned in this class, I put a lot of other skills that I learned to use. During ecom, I got a lot of practice applying the skills I learned from MAWD. The aesthetic skills were put to use in ecom when we learned how to make websites. Having this experience made the website creation process a lot easier. I already understood what worked and what didn't. Although I didn't have to code from scratch, Weebly took me awhile to grasp. It was very particular but I soon got the hang of it.

One thing I wish I had learned prior to my internship would've been how to communicate better with Mark and Kelley. There were a few times when I made a mistake because I didn't fully understand what they were asking me to do.

How is the internship meeting or not meeting your expectations/objectives and why? This internship was not something I had envisioned for myself. Due to my busy schedule this summer, I was unable to obtain an internship like some of my peers. This was difficult for me to come to terms with because I wanted something that would look really good on applications, such as SAS or Town of Cary. I soon realized that my internship still had a lot of value, even if I didn't feel like it did. I learned a lot about holding myself accountable and going off and doing work on my own. I may not have had the title I wanted, but I learned a lot of ethical skills that I will be able to put to use as a further my career.

Overall, my internship was an okay experience. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it either. I feel this way because it was not a true internship. As a high schooler, it is hard to find something that will pay, last long enough, and fits the technology guidelines. If you're not at SAS, Town of Cary, or Lenovo, it doesn't seem like you're doing anything in comparison to what they are doing. I think this would've been a better experience for me if I could make a summer long commitment to a real business. Unfortunately, I was not able to do that. I think it would be beneficial to find some options that are more flexible so students like myself so we can get a true internship experience.
