Dear Journal,
These past few weeks have been pretty interesting to say the least. It is really beginning
to sink in that I am in my role and that the COVID-29 virus has stopped a lot of our plans. Some
key events that took place the past two week were the zoom case that we took on and we hired
some interns.
I am fortunate to not have to face many challenges this early into my internship however
one challenge I have had to endure has been preparing the volunteer student interns for the
upcoming transition of stay at home to school. So I thought the best remedy to that situation was
the creation of a handbook outing everything a student intern would need to know in order to
successfully execute their tasks. Secondly after working with all of their schedules, I held a
intern meeting via zoom to inform them on the importance of their role, how appreciative the
entire staff was of their service, and lastly I went over the entire handbook. This was challenging
at first because I was unaware of how to go about it, I was not given the task without much
guidance or direction, however I was able to persevere.
It was very important that I take care of the interns and ensure they are prepared is
because in a few weeks we will officially be considered “In Season” meaning that we will be
able to hold full cases, along with a plethora of other things. Which is absolutely amazing
because all of our hard work with the launch of the program would not go to waste.
