Essay and hours....
I worked an hour a day on these days.
Dates of Internship: 3/7 , 3/8 , 3/10 , 3/11 , 3/12 , 3/15 , 3/16 , 3/17 , 3/19 , 3/22 , 3/24 , 3/25 , 3/26 , 3/28 , 3/30 , 4/1 , 4/4 , 4/6 , 4/8 , 4/10
During my internship I really learned a lot. I used to always say that I would never be a janitor. So the reason why I picked the cleaning service was to look at things from a different perspective, and to see how life would be if I didn't go to college. When I first started it wasn't bad because I was just making appointments, easy secretary stuff. I really didn’t like doing that because that wasn’t the reason why I was there, to my knowledge. I wanted to get my hands dirty. So I literally talked to my supervisor about it, then the next week I was finally cleaning houses. It may seem easy, but it's not. It was a little challenging because you have have to clean other people's houses in the way they want it cleaned and not how you want to do it. That was a little frustrating for me. I messed up a few times because I put some stuff in the wrong spot, small stuff like that and some customers weren’t too happy about that. Being an in-home janitor/ house cleaner wasn’t easy like I thought it was. The saying, that people always say, ‘don’t judge a book by it’s cover’ really stuck with me the whole time. Cleaning houses for the rest of my life is something that I would not want to do for the rest of my life. It may seem odd for me to be doing an internship on something that I don’t want to be when I grow up, unlike most people. I wanted the experience to do the opposite, to show me what life what life would be like if I didn’t go to college and get a degree in something I want to be. It was a life lesson for me to learn. I’m not trying to put someone's job down or anything but I know for a fact that, that's something I do not want to be. Cleaning two to three houses a day was a little bit too much for me. I would love to run a business one day, because you really don’t have to do too much work, it just involves thinking, planning, and time. Basically telling people how you want things done, is something I don’t mind doing. Working with people is not a problem for me, working for people on the other hand is a different story. If I were to do it all over again I wouldn’t change anything, because I actually learned something, and humbled myself.
