My Internship

Just in case a lot of you didn't know, I just started an internship. I am absolutely LOVING it. I never thought I would like a job like this, but it is absolutely amazing so far. It is a internship that leads into an assistant management position. Normally it takes on average several years to lead up to an assistant management position and this internship was specifically made for jumping starting a person into this career. I may not be completely 100% accurate on this, but I believe the company chooses from only 15 colleges throughout the U.S. and choose only two people from each (My school was a special case because they chose three of us instead of two).  

I feel truly blessed to have gotten this internship and I am EXTREMELY thankful for it to be a paid internship. It is a lot of work, but the people I work with are amazing. The store I work at has very experienced associates (most of them have on average 10 years experience or more). They are very knowledgeable and are really nice and helpful to the three of us interns.  I am learning all the operations of a billion dollar company that is the 26th largest economy in the world. Though I may be a small part in how much the company makes as a whole, I feel like a valued member of the company and what I accomplish matters. 

Otherwise, I am working 40 hours a week. It is a little tough on me physically because I am not used to standing on my feet fot that long. Thank goodness I have a roommate who gives me back and shoulder massages when I'm really hurting. (Thanks Serena).  My bad knee seems to be holding up, it is mainly just my legs and shoulders that hurt after a long day of running around. However when I get home, after a few hours of rest I am back up ready to go again. 

If you want to know more or have any questions let me know. =)
