For my internship project I created a poster with my fellow interns at the City of Chula Vista Recreation Department. This poster was created so it can be taken out to community events and get people more involved with what we do at the Recreation Department. The main goal my fellow interns and I wanted to achieve when creating this poster was to make it very appealing to the eye, and easily accessible for them to find out more about the Recreation services here in Chula Vista. This project is important because the poster that was being used before was not very inviting, and did not attract people to learn more about Recreation in Chula Vista. To complete this project my group and I started by listing what we did not like about the old poster, and what we can do to make it better. After we came up with a draft of what we wanted the poster to look like we presented it to our mentors. They gave us feedback which was very helpful and was a big part in completing the project. I feel like the poster came out very nice and I hope when it is taken out to events that it attracts more people and really gets everyone interested in what the recreation department offers in Chula Vista.

A quality that I see in a lot of the workers around me is dedication. Everyone in the building I was working in had an attitude that they wanted to be there, and wanted to help make the community better. Just like the recreation departments mission statement which is, "we enrich our community through recreation opportunities and services" everyone who works there understands that they have a job to fulfill and want to provide the best experience and activities for the community. I know that if I can put dedication into my work like my fellow co workers during my internship I will be able to succeed throughout my life. My view on life has changed quite a bit throughout my internship. One way it has changed is I have a better understanding of how it is to have a real job and how everything you do in your job can affect the people around you. Especially if you work in a department like recreation if you do not complete some of your tasks then it can really affect the department/organization as a whole. It is not like high school, if you do not finish a homework assignment it would only affect you and not anybody else in the class. Now I know that it is important to not only think about myself when completing an assignment but to think about how it can possibly affect other people in the future. Although I have enjoyed my time here at the City of Chula Vista Recreation Department, it has also made me realize what kind of job I would like to pursue in the future. Here at the recreation department it requires a lot of computer work in an office usually on your own, and it has made me realize I want to be outside more and interacting with other people not just working bymyself. There are some parts of the recreation department that I have enjoyed, like attending meetings and events. It was amazing to meet successful new people at events and meetings because it was awesome to see someone with a stable job and career. A skill I had coming into this internship was being familiar with using basic computer programs such as Microsoft Word. Throughout this internship I had to create multiple "How to" tutorials on Microsoft Word and because of my previous knowledge it made creating those tutorials a lot easier. If I had not had previous knowledge on using that program I feel my time creating the tutorials would have been much longer and a lot more difficult and stressful. |
